It's a giveway kind of day...


You read right... Happy Day!

I'm finally getting to my promised giveaway - I'm very excited because it's my first ever, and it's always lovely to give people gifts. Sure, I love getting gifts, but giving isn't so bad as well :)

So, what's the prize, you ask? Well, I'm giving one of my favorite things... make-up.

That's right, one lucky winner will get a $50 MAC gift card which can be used at any free-standing MAC store or online at MACcosmetics.com. I personally love and use a lot of MAC products, including their lipsticks (I know old school, but I heart!) and eyeshadows (texture and sable, you rock my world). And with 50 bucks, you can take home a lipstick and 2 shadows, or make yourself a quad-pack, or splurge on their new Beach Collection or stock up on their amazing make-up wipes.



Here's how you can win:

1. First, be a public follower of my blog. Please leave a comment letting me know you're a follower and also an e-mail address so I can contact you if you win! That's easy, right?

2. Next, for an additional chance to win, blog about this giveaway and link back to this post. Let me know if you do within the comments section :-)

3. Lastly, for one more chance to win, answer the below uber simple fill-in-the-blank (I'm easily entertained by people's answers to questions): My number one beauty product that I can't live without is _____________ . It doesn't have to be MAC (I'm a non-discriminating make-up whore), just very curious to hear everyone's faves and tips.

So you have the chance to get 3 entries into the giveaway!


Giveaway will be open for entry until NEXT Thursday July 1st at 6P, then I will use a random generator to pick the winner! I'll email the winner immediately, and post a blog entry announcing the winner on July 2nd.

Good luck everyone!!

    ...Peggy, I have been waffling over whether I'd love and use the Clarisonic! You've just solidified my decision though... feels like it might need to be a, early Christmas "gift" for myself this year.
