$145 Starbucks Gift Card Giveaway

126 Comments

StarbucksGiveawayIt’s been a while since I had a giveaway up on the blog and I thought, since the cooler weather is coming, some of you may want to cozy up with a hot drink (or 50)  from Starbucks and treat yourselves. I pulled together some of my blogger friends to chip in on a Starbucks Giveaway for you guys. The giveaway is open anywhere there is a starbucks available. I’m going to assume it would be worldwide, so anyone can enter!

How long do you think the gift card will last you? I’ll admit, I love Starbucks but I don’t go there often because it’s expensive and I want to make it seem like a nice treat when I do go grab something from there.

What is your signature drink at Starbucks? Over the weekend I picked up a couple of Peppermint White Mocha’s for The Guy and I to sip on during our Sunday morning, regardless of the 36C temperature. It doesn’t look like it’s going to cool down anytime here in California and I was craving the PWM!

Round two of the Philosophy sweet wishes is happening RIGHT NOW and I wanted to get this giveaway up as quickly as possible so you guys would have another chance at grabbing a coupon for sending a sweet wish to one of your loved ones, or you know – not so loved ones if you’re admiring them from afar. Sounds kinda creepy to me though. Let’s just go with the loved ones.

Make Up For Ever: Glitz and Glam with an extravagant set

51 Comments

If you’re anything like me around the holidays, you want to have some fresh new make up to try out and wear at fancy Christmas parties or gatherings with friends. Make Up For Ever has come out with a few holiday sets for the season. Today I’ll be telling you about “The Extravagant Glamour Kit” from them. make-up-for-ever-Extravagant-Glamour-Set

The Extravagant Glamour Kit includes:

• Aqua Eyes #0L Matte Black
• Smoky Extravagant in Black
• Rouge Artist Intense #43 Satin Vibrant Red
Cost: $44 CDN at Sephora ($72 Value)

I thought I would be terrified to wear a bold lip colour, but after doing a 24 day challenge swatching lipsticks from another brand, I have come to realize that the brighter, more fun shades actually are my favourite out of most of the colours. I don’t think you require confidence to pull off a bold lip colour. I think you plain and simply need to get over how “it doesn’t look good on me” and just rock them dang lips, girl. I honestly haven’t seen anyone who looked silly in a bold colour that suited them. The #43 Satin Vibrant Red is a gorgeous shade to wear and will be so completely long lasting.

Then again, if you really don’t want to wear a bright lip — then apply some gorgeous eyeliner in matte black (which comes in the kit, conveniently) and top it off with Make Up For Ever’s newest mascara, smoky extravagant. I personally love to play up my eyes, and as you guys already know I’m a huge fan of the mascaras by Make Up For Ever. They never disappoint.

And lastly, one of you lucky Canadian readers will be winning this Extravagant Glamour Kit from Make Up For Ever. Use it on yourself this holiday season, or wrap it up and give it to one of your friends!
