12 Days of Giveaways, Day 12: 7 Ways to Win a $1,560 Louis Vuitton Salina PM Bag (Ends Friday)

December 29th, 2013 by Karen 890 Comments

12 Days of Giveaways on Makeup and Beauty Blog

A different Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway every day for 12 days, sponsored by Neutrogena

I have been lusting after and dreaming about this bag for more than a year, I kid you not.

First time I ever saw it in person, a lightning bolt of love struck me right in the heart.

BOOM!

boomI remember it like it was yesterday…

I was in San Francisco waiting to meet a friend for brunch in front of a restaurant in the Marina on a sunny day. As she walked up, my eyes locked like lasers on her purse — the Louis Vuitton Salina PM.

Like the accessories weirdo I am, I kept sneaking peeks at it through the meal. Every time my friend looked away, I’d study her purse. It was almost impossible not to!

I totally ignored my eggs and banana pancakes (two of my favorite things in the world). All I could think was, “Oh, mah gawd, Becky! I need that purse!!”

Uh…then I found out that it’s $1,560, which is A LOT of cat treats. Consequently, the bag continues to elude me. Plus, Tabs has an exclusivity contract with LV that gives him exclusive rights to carry/wear the brand here in the offices of Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC.

Oh, well. Don’t ask me how he secured that gig. He never tells me anything. 🙂

But then Neutrogena offered to host this giveaway, and of course I jumped at the chance. A bag like this? YES! Maybe I won’t be able to tote the Salina PM around my town, but perhaps you will around yours.

This is by far the largest single prize in Makeup and Beauty Blog history — a $1,560 value — and I’m pretty jazzed. The winner of this bag will be a very, very lucky gal (or guy!).

The Louis Vuitton Salina PM Bag

“Elegant and compact, the Salina PM is a bag that’s charmingly feminine. Its finely worked long flat handles and supple Damier Azur canvas make it a delight to carry on the shoulder.”

— louisvuitton.com

Salina PM Features

  • Natural cowhide leather trim
  • Shiny golden brass metallic pieces
  • Squeeze-to-open clasp inspired by classic Louis Vuitton trunk locks
  • Wide opening for easy access
  • Microfibre lining
  • 1 interior zipped and 3 flat pockets

    Are you a crazy cat lady? Nope, crazy dog lady here.

    Describe your current favorite purse. My Kate Spade wristlet I got for Xmas (thanks Mom!). Its navy with white polka dots and too adorable!

    Do you have any New Year’s Eve traditions? Our anniversary is the week after, so we usually watch a movie and then have a champagne toast in our jammies.

    Umbrella or raincoat? Raincoat. I love hoods. Wearing some hooded Star Wars footie jammies right now! (thanks to my sister – Xmas present)

    Do you prefer to exercise by yourself or with other people? Myself or the dog

    How far is your commute to work/school? 1 hr each way (about 45 miles, but oh the traffic!)

    I’m not a crazy cat lady; however, I do have a pet rat. His name is Fritz and he’s pretty much the cutest little white rodent imaginable. I would imagine that owning cats wouldn’t make Fritz very happy – oh, not to mention the hives, sneezing and general misery that I would face due to a slight allergy! One pet rat and one child-like man is enough for me! :]

    No U.S. resident unfortunately. That is ONE lucky winner, the bag looks fantastic.

    I wanted to partake anyways, because, yes, I’m that crazy cat lady. One of the main reasons I hang around your blog so much 😉 My cat unfortunately had to be put to sleep last year and I miss him very much ever since. Especially now with my thesis due in six days time, looming over my head, it would be so relaxing and soothing to have him hang around. Ahh well..

    Congrats to whoever wins the bag, it’s soo pretty! <3

    My friends say that I’m becoming a “crazy dog lady,” because I always want to rescue dogs that aren’t wanted. I currently have 2 large dogs, and we rescued one of them from a shelter 5 years ago. He was abused by his former owner, but he has adjusted very well and loves me a lot. It breaks my heart to see dogs that were abused or just no longer wanted! I want to take them all home with me!

    I am totally becoming a crazy cat lady! I have three and the time and money I spend with/on them is a little crazy sometimes but they are worth it! My current favorite handbag is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock Python Shine Messenger. I have it in grey so it’s the perfect neutral that goes with everything and it holds a ton of stuff! I’m starting to see some wear and tear on it though so I wouldn’t mind a new handbag!

    Umbrella! I always carry one around with me…this reminds me of a funny picture I’ve seen: How to tell if a handbag is expensive. On one side of the picture there’s a girl caught in the rain without an umbrella and she’s using her purse for cover. On the other side is a girl in the rain hunched over her handbag sheltering it from the rain with her body. I lol’ed so hard!

I hope the new year brings you much more love, makeup, & maybe a new addition to your family. My mom always tells me to wear polka dots or stripes on New Year’s Eve since they symbolize money. Hehe.

    I’m not the kind of girl who buys tons of purses. I only buy that one gem that strikes me in the gut when I see it and then i wear it until it dies and it’s time for another. My current bcbg metallic sack bag (has been my every day purse for three years) and is on its way out. It’s time for the next punch in the gut kind of bag 🙂 I hope this one comes home to mama! 🙂

    My current favorite purse is a small Coach bag that my husband saved up for a year to buy me for our eleventh anniversary. I didn’t even know that he knew that I was coveting that purse. Because we’re military and money is tight, most of my stuff is either clearance from department stores or from Target. That purse means so much to me because of the thought he put into it and what he had to give up to get it for me. 🙂

It helps that we have the same skin tone, as it makes it easier to decide on colors based on your swatches. I plan to check out those new MAC brushes tomorrow thanks to your demo (MAC just opened a store in my town! Yey!). I’m a cat lady but pets aren’t allowed in my building 🙁 So I surround myself with cat-related items to compensate. I just received the Gund version of Grumpy Cat as a gift and he’s so cuuute!

    Amazing prize! Cat lady all the way (sorry to my doggie, whom I love to death!) It depends on my mood, but I usually like to go to the gym, because they have all kinds of awesome equipment I neither have room for or can afford, and I find it motivating to be around other like minded people, esp. since I usually go at 5:30 AM. Current favorite bag is a black croco print Brahmin Anywhere Convertible satchel. Can use it on your arm or cross body. First Brahmin and I have to say, I am loving this bag! Small touches, like the lining of the bag (which is sueded and sooo soft) and the magnet at the tail end of the zipper that keeps the tail tucked under instead of flapping around make it extra nice!

    My family has big New Year parties. Prior to midnight we throw away all our old calendars and put up new ones. We have round fruits like grapes and oranges. We open all the windows and doors and my mom sweeps away things at the doorway and whispers something along the lines of well wishes for the new year after the clock strikes 12.

    For new years you are supposed to wear red underwear for good luck, eat 12 Grapes within the last or first minute (can never remember). Oh and we eat a stew called menudo.

    I prefer to exercise by myself. When I’m with a friend or my sweet, sweet daughter side by side on the treadmill, they want to begin a conversation. I just can’nt do it! First off, I’m huffing and puffing, secondly, I’m trying to make sure my feet do what they’re supposed to do and keep me planted on the treads, not on my bum on the floor!

    Are you a crazy cat lady? Yes, and a crazy bunny lady!

    Describe your current favorite purse. A Carlos Santana cross-body bag in a camel color. Perfect for walking!

    Do you have any New Year’s Eve traditions? Nope!

    Umbrella or raincoat? Raincoat, umbrellas don’t work in wind very well.

    Do you prefer to exercise by yourself or with other people? By myself, but classes can be fun.

    How far is your commute to work/school? It was a half mile walk, but with my new job tomorrow it’s only about a 15-25 minute drive, so still not bad.

    How. In the world. Could I justify that.
    After a year of lusting and emotional turmoil, I scored the exact pair of booties I’d been oogling from afar at a sample sale.
    Worth every penny. And this bag will be, too when you get your hands on it.

After 5-6 years with no cats, only dogs, we got a tripod kitten back in June, and he now rules the house. I really love having another kitty around, but for now will just stick with the one.

After Christmas we made him a cat condo out of the shipping boxes everything came in. But like every 3 year old boy, (cat or human) the idea of trampling the boxes was just that much more fun. So our 12 pound feline decided to go all Godzilla on his city of condos.

    “Are you a crazy cat lady?”

    Yup. So much so that at work, I am known as the “Cat Whisperer.”
    I’m a dogwalker/petsitter…and am known to get even the shiest, most scaredy-cats to come out for chin scritches. 🙂
    And of course, I have my two furbabies — one cross-eyed Balinese mix and one Munchkin (dwarf cat). They run the house. 😉

Anyway, I’m most definitely a crazy cat lady. I spend an unbelievable amount of time doting on my silver tabby Persian, Smokey. I just lubs him soooo much!! By the way, the checkered pattern on the handbag remind me of the checkerboard square on Purina cat food. See…I am crazy. My cat actually has eaten nothing but Fancy Feast wet food, since we got him. He loves his Fancy Feast!! On another note, I do frequently exercise with other people, because I really enjoy aerobics and Zumba as well. I really like the whole class exercise thing…it’s a lot of fun. Well, thank you for being so sweet and have a Happy New Year!!

    In Portland, Oregon some people can be pretty serious about the “umbrella vs. Raincoat” question. “Real Oregonians don’t need rain gear” they say. And there’s definitely plenty of people who abide by that rule. When the rain starts you see them pull up the hood on their sweatshirt (it’s also an unspoken law that you must own at least one) and run for it. I prefer an umbrella personally (A cute compact one with black and white houndstooth all over.) but the rain coat is a must while riding my bike. I’m just trying to stay dry until the 4 months of blue skies and sunshine that make up for other 8 months of solid gray rain.

    Umbrella or Raincoat? Being an Oregonian, we tend to be quite snooty toward umbrella users. I don’t even own an umbrella and, if I did, I’d use it for shade on a hot day. I particularly dislike that many people who are carrying an umbrella tend to absentmindedly twirl it and the spokes are right at my eye-level, which could be quite perilous.

I’m currently trying to befriend the 2 stray cats that live on my street, they’re very cute but they’re afraid of people.

    Ok, so when you say crazy cat lady, would you say that letting your cat be in charge of your apartment when you travel is crazy or crazy smart? I mean, she is 13 after all, almost the same age I was when I was babysitting other people’s kids. It’s not like I leave her with my credit cards or anything. That would just be odd. 🙂

    Describe your current favorite purse. Right now the coolest purse/ handbag I’ve seen is the Harveys Seatbelt Bag, yet although it is made from recycled seatbelt material, it is still really adorable, my favorite part is the pink elephant design ion the inside. http://www.zappos.com/harveys-seatbelt-bag-ltd-fall-2013-medium-tote-ltd1

    Do you have any New Year’s Eve traditions? Yes, staying up all night, watching movies while eating popcorn and candy.

    Umbrella or raincoat? Umbrella.

    Do you prefer to exercise by yourself or with other people? Either, but generally I find it more fun to exercise with others.

    How far is your commute to work/school? Not very far.

    NYE traditions…more like superstitions because we have to fill our home with lots of fruits (mostly circle ones for money). My mother-in-law used to hang grapes too. Serve sweet sticky rice so we as family can stick together; noodles for long life and ham or some kind of Pork dish for prosperity. We all wear polka dots and carry coins in our pockets and jump when the clock strikes 12.

    I. Am. In. Shock. This is a fabulous giveaway! I. MUST. WIN. IT. MUST. MUST. MUST.

    Am I a crazy cat lady? You bet. Do I have a cat? No, my husband is deathly allergic. So how can I be a cat lady? I live vicariously through other cat ladies!! I have a co-worker who has a Facebook page for her amazing cat and I am a fan. If I see a cat, I think about what it would be like to take it home. But I love my husband so alas I must forever live through others. Sigh…

    I must add that I love your site! I am obsessed with Nars and your reviews of Nars products are just perfect. This site is so not good for my wallet! :o)

    Are you a crazy cat lady? Crazy about cats and dogs

    Describe your current favorite purse. Don’t have a favorite but I am partial to the classic Coach bucket

    Do you have any New Year’s Eve traditions? DH, daughter and I stay in pj’s and eat snacks all night – Champagne at midnight for us and sparkling cider for my daughter. – We also have tv series marathons – we save a particular series all season on DVR and then watch all episodes back to back. Fun!

    Umbrella or raincoat? neither. I like to feel the rain on my skin.

    Do you prefer to exercise by yourself or with other people? hmm I prefer not to excercise haha

    How far is your commute to work/school? 15 minutes on way to work.

My first thought on seeing this (stunning, spring-like, utterly gorgeous) bag was that my new puppy would fit perfectly into it – for errands around town. I’ve found that people are much less likely to tell you no dogs allowed if they’re tucked into a classy-looking bag:)

I have always been embarrassed that I had course hair! I did not inherit my moms hair doh! I want to be a mermaid when I grow up… I’ll be 35 this year…awww that is scary. mid life crisis.. not really but the next person who asks me if I’m getting married or having kids I might punch in the face.

    Truthfully, I thought I’d never post anything about exercise or weight loss. It’s hard stuff. I just have one key of advice to anyone looking to start. Go with a friend. The process has been made that much easier by having a confidant and sweat buddy to get things accomplished with. Sometimes my iPod can’t replace that sound of advice and motivation, and although music is a motivation in itself, there’s nothing like having a friend there just to share the experience with.

    My favorite purse is easy to pull over my shoulder with one hand (like, not super-short straps), has anything but a black/dark inside lining (no way to find makeup or lip glosses in a black hole!) and has classic elements to it, with a little funk.

    I’ve just always turned my gaze the other way with these bags because I knew I couldn’t bring myself to carry the equivalent of almost two months of rent on my arm! However, if Karen and Neutrogena really insist on sponsoring me to have a Salina PM, who am I to argue??? Y’all are always wanting us to look our best! Awesome giveaway, thanks for the chance to win! 😉

    It’s a rough 30 min drive to work for me. I often ask myself why oh why I just had to have the cute SUV that only gets 20 mpg at most… and then I rememeber. Uhhh, because it’s cute? Duh!

    New Years tradition: well now that I have a full house of 3 boys, my New Year’s Eve is spent at home. We invite family over. We ALL wear new pjs and eat and play board games. It’s fun and feels good to be around family when that clock strikes 12.

    I don’t mind working out with other people because it somehow feels like a competition so I feel compelled to finish all the sets and not slack. But sometimes working out by myself is also good because I can work in my own time and pace.
