New Look Giveaway #12: Unilever Goodie Box

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Many of you must have seen this "Beauty Tip of the Day" widget on my site and a number of other blogs. It delivers useful daily tips regarding skin care, hair care, makeup, and other interesting topics. It also recommends relevant Unilever beauty products to help us achieve a younger and healthier look.

Here are a few of my favorite tips that I learned from the widget:

• Simplify your beauty routine and space - stick to five beauty essentials: tinted moisturizer, a multi-purpose makeup stick for eyes, cheeks and lips, concealer, one tube of mascara and one of Q-tips® cotton swabs four new beautifully designed Vanity Packs.
• Hide and heal skin imperfections-use a Q-tips® cotton swab. Moisten one end of your Q-tips® cotton swab with an alcohol-free astringent and lightly dab on to the blemish. Use the other end of your Q-tips® cotton swab as a makeup applicator to apply an oil-free concealer to keep the blemish under wraps!
• Quick and Easy Steps to Voluminous Hair-1) Start in the shower with Dove Volume Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner. Its unique serum helps to protect fine, limp hair from daily wear and tear without weighing it down. 2) Once hair is dry, try switching the side you part your hair – it is an easy way to add volume and make hair look fuller. 3) To achieve maximum volume, use a fine-toothed comb to backcomb sections of hair at the crown.
  

A new tip is posted each day on the widget. Be sure to check it out when you visit me every day!

The Giveaway

Last month, Unilever sent me a box of assorted beauty products including full-size Dove shampoo and conditioner, Pond's wet cleansing towelettes, Q-tips cotton swabs, and Dove deodorant. Unilever has also generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a Unilever Beauty Goodie Box. The box is filled with select Vaseline, Pond's, Dove and Q-tips products similar to the ones I received.

Required Entry: Tell me one Unilever beauty product you currently use. You may see a list of the brands here. If you don't use any, just tell me which Unilever brand you'd like to try. (Please leave a valid email address in your comment or make sure one is visible in your blogger profile).

Halloween Giveaway: SproutBaby Thinkbaby Feeding Set

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

In my earlier review of SproutFoods, I introduced to you SproutBaby, an online store that specializes in high quality organic and eco-friendly baby products ranging from organic food to organic skin care. It offers great everyday solutions for eco-conscious parents.

One of my favorite SproutBaby products is the Thinkbaby Stainless Steel Baby Feeding Set, including a bento box, a soup bowl, a baby bowl, a cup, a spoon and a fork. All utensils in the set are 100% sustainable and certified organic. They are BPA, Phthalate, PVC, and Polycarbonate-free, safe for your baby and our planet! This all-in-one set contains everything that meets your basic baby feeding needs.

Here are more details provided on the website.

The Bento Box
The perfect on-the-go travel container. The Bento Box features an air-tight lid. The clasp on lid allows you to safely keep liquids or non-solid foods without fear of leakage. It's a highly sustainable product. Interior made from stainless steel with a polypropylene exterior. It's dishwasher safe (top rack) and free of Bisphenol-A, PVC, Lead, Phthalates or Melamine.
Length: 14cm, Height: 3.5cm, Width: 10cm, Holds 250ml / 9oz

The Soup Bowl
The elegant design is easy to hold and deep enough for cerals and soups. After the feeding, simply store the bowl in the refrigerator. It's also dishwasher safe (top rack) and free of Bisphenol-A, PVC, Lead, Phthalates or Melamine. The bowl has a stainless steel interior and polypropylene exterior.
Diameter: 10.5cm, Depth: 4.5cm, Holds: 300ml / 10oz

The Baby Bowl
The low-profile baby bowl is perfect for beginning toddlers. The baby bowl also comes with a thinkbaby orange lid, so it's easy to locate. The baby bowl and soup bowl are both wrapped in polypropylene to help insulate contents with stainless steel interiors. Free of Bisphenol-A, PVC, Lead, Phthalates or Melamine, it's dishwasher safe (top rack) too.
Diameter: 12cm, Depth: 3.5cm, Holds: 300ml / 10oz

The Cup
The feeding set is designed to span from the age that children begin eating baby food to solids. Once your child has grown out of drinking from sippy cups, they are ready for this cup! The cup is wrapped in polypropylene to help insulate the contents and the inside is made from stainless steel. The cup is free of Bisphenol-A, PVC, Lead, Phthalates or Melamine. It's also dishwasher safe (top rack).

DownEast Basics Rock Star Jeans Review

In my earlier post, I told you about the newly launched DownEast Denim line. To my great excitement, DownEast kindly sent me a pair of Rock Star Jeans for review. The new line has four different styles, each marked with a unique character. I picked the Rock Star Jean as my favorite primarily because of its exquisite back pocket design.

When I received the jeans, I was surprised by the many lovely details that are not fully shown in the picture. Besides the embroidery on the back pockets, I'm also deeply drawn by the decorative diamond buttons and rivets, the heavy chain stitches, and the handwashing effects of the fabric. Not only do the jeans feature a cool design, but they also provide a nice and comfortable fit, which makes my legs look slimmer and longer! In addition, they have a great color that goes well with virtually any top. I'm now fully convinced that DownEast aptly combines quality, style, and value. The Rock Star Jeans retail at $44.99 a pair. They would be a great addition to your fall wardrobe.

I strongly encourage you to check out the entire denim line and share with me your favorite style.

Also worth mentioning is that DownEast is running a special promotion in honor of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From 10/19 to 10/31, 30% of all Pink tee sales will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. There are a variety of designs to choose from and quite a few have a price tag under $10.

Halloween Giveaway: Fairy-Gram. So Cute!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

I enjoy being known as ice fairy. Naturally, I love all things related to fairies. That's why I jumped on the opportunity to review Fairy-Gram, an adorable fairy costume created by a mom-daughter team. Do you have a little girl who dreams of being a fairy? Then I'm sure she'll be overjoyed to receive a Fairy-Gram as a gift.

Each Fairy-Gram includes the following components:

• Fairy Tutu
  
• Fairy Wings
• Fairy Ribbon Wand
• Fairy Halo
• Butterfly Clips
  

Fairy-Grams are available in eight bright colors. I was sent a lemon set for review (as shown in the picture above). If you've been reading my blog for some time, you know that I pay a lot of attention to product packaging. Fairy-Gram made a perfect first impression on me with its beautiful gift wrap. The delicately made outfit was carefully protected in purple tissues, on top of which was a cute card with the company logo and a gift message on it.

The moment the Fairy-Gram was unwrapped, I wanted so much to possess the magic power to shrink to a little girl!!! The costume is absolutely stunning. I love that the tutu comes with an expandable waist that can fit girls from 1 to 8 years old. My favorite part of the whole set is the halo, partly because I can actually wear it thanks to its adjustable head size. The butterfly clips are very eye-catching too.

Besides being a desirable Halloween outfit, Fairy-Gram would make a little girl's best companion virtually any time of the year. It's great for playing dress up and to spark imagination and creativity during role play games. Fairy-Grams can be purchased directly on Fairy-Gram.com at $35.95 each.

The Giveaway

To let your little girl experience the magic, the founder of Fairy-Gram.com has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a charming Fairy-Gram. That's a $36 value!

Required Entry: Visit Fairy-Gram.com and leave a comment telling me which color is you'd like to choose if you won. (Please leave a valid email address in your comment or make sure one is visible in your blogger profile).

New Look Giveaway #11: KN Pink Lady PJs (3 Winners)

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

KN Karen Neuberger® is throwing Pink Parties at over 300 Dillards stores and YOU are invited! For each purchase of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas at participating Pink Party locations, KN will donate 30 minutes of research to Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). Party guests will also receive a free gift with purchase of a pink ribbon key chain. This is part of the KN-BCRF "Time for Research" program, the goal of which is to fund a full month of breast cancer research in October. You may also join this terrific cause by donating through the Time for Research page.


Wanna get an idea of what each minute of research translates to? Read on. In one hour a breast cancer biopsy can be preformed; in one day, a clinician can conduct genetic counseling for one woman and in one week, researchers can compare ten tumor samples! Every minute of research counts!

The KN Karen Neuburger® lifestyle brand has been known for their comfort-inspired fashion and home merchandise. Their products can be found in department stores, specialty stores and the KN website. KN has kindly sent me a set of Pink Lady Long Sleeve Pajamas for review. They are among the qualifying products in support of the Time for Research program. A portion of the proceeds support BCRF year round. I love the pink roses and pink ribbons featured on the PJs. The PJ set is soft, comfortable, and made from high quality fabrics. Great to wear for the fall season and to show support for the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The Giveaway

To encourage your participation in their Time for Research program, the nice people from KN have generously offered three awesome Pink Party prizes to my lucky readers. One Grand Prize winner will receive a Pink Lady PJ set ($78) and a pair of Pink Ribbon chenille socks ($15); and two runners up will each receive a Pink Lady PJ set. That's a total of 3 winners and $249 in prizes!

Bare Skin, the first scent in the series, was released exclusively on Sephora.com on 10/8/09 and hit store shelves one week later.

The line is available in an Eau de Parfum ($55), a Solid Perfume Compact ($35), and a Perfumed Body Cream ($30).

New Look Giveaway #10: chicBuds Wireless Headset

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

ChicBuds has been known as a fashion leader in the tech gadget industry. Their signature Swarovski Crystal adorned retractable earphones are on the wish list of many music-loving fashionistas. The company has recently launched a new product line--chicBuds Wireless Headset--originally known as Pink Tooth.


I was given the opportunity to review and keep a chicBuds Wireless Headset in pink. The cute candy tin that the product came in was the first thing that caught my eyes. It's definitely one of a kind and memorable! I was then amazed by how compact the headset is--about the same size as a mini candy bar or even smaller. It can fit in any purse, wallet, or pocket. Perfect to use while on the go!
The shining pink Swarovski crystals no doubt make the headset an eye candy! Both my husband and I are deeply in love with the chic design and great functionality.

Compatible with all Bluetooth enabled cell phones, chicBuds Wireless Headset is easy to set up and convenient to use. The headset is powered by a battery that can be easily recharged by connecting to a USB hub. The built-in indicator light tells you when the battery is full. It only takes a few steps to pair the device with your phone initially and it's even faster to reconnect afterwards. The smartly designed inner earbuds provide a comfortable fit as well as excellent sound quality. The package also comes with extra earbuds protectors. The headset has up to 6 hours talk time and up to 200 hours standby time. I've used it for two weeks and the battery is still going strong.

The chicBuds Wireless Headset is absolutely a high quality fashion and tech accessory to keep your hands free while on the phone. You can get one at ChicBlvd.com for $48 and have your choice of color for the decorative crystals.

New Look Giveaway #9: Bra Barrette

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

The Bra Barrette is designed to tackle a common but embarrassing problem for women: slippery bra straps. Similar to a hair barrette, a Bra Barrette works to keep naughty bra straps in place under clothes in a most stylish way. Bra Barrette comes in three major styles: plain, charmed, and crystal and there are a wide variety of elegant designs and color themes within each category. My personal favorite is the charmed style. You may get a flavor of what each style looks like from the pink series showcased below.


Wearing a Bra Barrette not only provides a practical solution to your everyday problem, but helps you make a fashion statement. Bra Barrette is highly versatile too. In addition to being a bra strap holder, it can be used on tank tops, spaghetti-strap dresses, swimsuits, and similarly structured clothes. It can be more accurately described as a fashion accessory or a piece of jewelry. Check out what magic the Bra Barrette does on your back!


I was sent one plain clear bra barrette and one copper fairy charmed barrette for review. Both come in simple but finely crafted packaging. The enclosed paper card provides an easy 3-step demo of how to put on a Bra Barrette. The website also includes a how-to video. The Bra Barrette is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. I can hardly feel its presence on my back.

I also love that Bra Barrette is an eco-conscious company. All Bra Barrettes are made from recyclable plastic and use minimal packaging, which includes a recyclable paper card and a reusable plastic bag. You can send back any broken or damaged Bra Barrette for recycling.


Bra Barrette also has a fabulous Breast Cancer Awareness collection. During the Month of October, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this collection will be donated to Susan G. Komen Foundation to fund Breast Cancer Research!

The Bra Barrette is an inexpensive fashion accessory with a starting price as low as $3.99. They have frequent sales and also give out discount codes on Facebook, Twitter, as well as in their newsletter.

The Giveaway

Lara, the inventor of Bra Barrette, has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a BB Conceal and Reveal Pack, which includes a plain Bra Barrette for your Bra, one for your swimsuit, a beautiful CRYSTALLIZED^TM - Swarovski Elements Crystal Drop, and a bonus everyday flower charm! That's a $35 value!

Required Entry: Visit Bra Barrette and leave a comment telling me your favorite item from their online store. (Please leave a valid email address in your comment or make sure one is visible in your blogger profile).
