Hello Lovelies! Today we are giving away an EcoTools Bamboo 6 Piece Eye Brush Set to two lucky winners!

I love these smaller-sized eye makeup brushes, both for every day use and for travel. They work great for both mineral (loose) eyeshadows and pressed shadows, and the quality is great – as is true of all the EcoTools brushes I’ve used.

Entering the giveaway is easy. See my blog entry with the tutorial videos created by EcoTools, then enter by telling me your favorite tip from the videos. Please use the contest box – entires left in the comments will not be counted.

Have fun!

Did you know that June is National Candy Month? I didn’t either. It’s also National Accordion Awareness Month and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome Awareness Month, but those are harder to tie into beauty…

A candy binge is never a good idea (calories! cavities!), but don’t worry – you can have your cake and smell like it too! To honor this light-hearted holiday, save on calories and instead look for a scent inspired by your favorite sweet!

Do you crave decadent white chocolate? Try Hilary Duff’s Wrapped With Love, described as a perfect combination of white chocolate mousse notes wrapped in a combination of milk and vanilla beans, highlighted by sunkissed raspberry. Get it at elizabetharden.com, $38 for 1.7 fl oz.

How about toasted marshmallows? M by Mariah Carey has a warm and inviting marshmallow note woven throughout the fragrance, evoking a sense of comfort. This indulgent accord captures Mariah’s fondest childhood memories of being in the kitchen with her father. Get it at macys.com, $55 for 1.7 fl. oz.

If it’s vanilla ice cream and cake you want, try HIDDEN fantasy Britney Spears. Mexican Vanilla Bean and Napolitano cake (as well as a lovely citrus note, it’s actually very orange sherbet-y in the beginning) notes wind throughout the fragrance. It’s $45 for 1.7 fl. oz. at elizabetharden.com.

Last, but not least, the original Fantasy Britney Spears is laced with a yummy cupcake accord, jasmine petals and sexy white chocolate orchid. Get it at macys.com, $45 for 1.7 fl. oz.

For extra fun, we are giving away one of these fragrances to one lucky reader! Just enter your name and email address in the contest box, as well as which fragrance (from the four featured here) you want if you win, and one lucky winner will be drawn on July 1st.

Hello Lovelies! skyn ICELAND is giving away their new Glacial Cleansing cloths to the first 25 people who sign up for their mailing list. Here’s the details!

Skyn ICELAND says “Glacial Cleansing cloths are the ultimate solution for cleansing on-the-go. You don’t need water – just rub the sides together to create a lather, and sweep over your skin anytime, anywhere. The small package is ultra-portable, and super easy to slip into a gym bag, a beach bag, or in your desk at work. Naturally, we’re madly in love with them.”

Go to their blog at www.skyniceland.blogs.com and click the Club ICELAND link on the right side of the blog to join the mailing list. Fill in your information, and make sure you enter “I want to cleanse on-the-go!” in the comments section. That’s it!

I have been a fan of skyn ICELAND ever since I tried their awesome eye cream back in the day. Definitely check out their products!

So I work in a mall. I stand for 8 hours a day on a hard tile floor. My feet hate me. Somehow, whenever I remember to call for an appointment for a pedicure at the salon that is also at the mall where I work, they are always booked up that day and the next. Boo hiss!

Inevitably, it falls upon me to take care of my feet at home, and that’s where this cool kit from Ms. Pedicure comes in.  It’s called The Foot SpAHH! and it contains a pumice stone, a foot scrub, a foot lotion, a leg rub, and a massager, all in a cute pink bag. Taking care of my feet becomes fairly easy with this inexpensive kit. I really like it because the products are nice too – the lotion moisturizes with grapeseed oil and aloe vera, and it smells good too. Good quality on a budget? Yes please. The set retails for only $12.99!

First, I crack out my Conair Foot Bath, fill with warm (not hot) water and soak my tootsies for 10 minutes or so.  Setting up and cleaning the foot bath takes the most time, but it’s totally worth it. Next, I use the Pumice Stone to exfoliate rough heels. Then, I smooth and polish with a small amount of the Exfoliating Foot Scrub. I dry my feet, and massage in the Moisture Rich Foot Lotion to take care of dryness. The last step is to massage my tired legs with the Invigorating Leg Rub and the cute little massager. Voila! Happier feet. (If you don’t have the time or energy for a foot bath, just use the stone and scrub at the end of your shower, before you get out.)

Because I like this set so much, I am giving one away to a lucky reader! Just enter your name and email address in the contest box, and on June 14th one winner will be drawn!
