Comment to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

April 11th, 2015 by Karen 438 Comments

** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, HOLLY!!!), but check back next Saturday for another Sephora giveaway.

Win a $50 Sephora e-card

Good morning, friend! Happy Saturday (or caturday, if you’re a cat lady). 🙂

I’m still a little sleepy… I’m trying to wake up with a cup of green tea, though, because I need to run, aka “get my sweat on,” and then El Hub and I are going to take his parents out sightseeing (they’re visiting this weekend).

What are you up to today? Doing anything fun? We’re probably just gonna go to Fairfax, which is a cute little town in West Marin County, and then maybe up to Napa if everyone’s up for the drive.

Anywho, you know the drill. It’s Saturday, which means it’s giveaway time. To enter to win a $50 Sephora e-card, all you have to do is leave a quick comment down below.

Good luck, and may you see fuzzy blue-eyed kittens today.

Win a $50 gift card from Sephora

  • One (1) Sephora eGift card containing $50 sent to the winner by email (international readers, you may opt to receive $50 sent by PayPal instead).

  • Enter by leaving a comment below.
  • Open to U.S. and international readers.
  • You must be 18 or older to enter (or otherwise an adult based on your local laws).
  • Your comment can be about anything at all, but here are some ideas if you’re stuck:
    • If your closet could talk, what’s the first thing it would say?
    • A shoulder on which you lean?
    • Have you ever supported a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter or something like it?
    • __________ is a genius.
    • A special occasion coming up?
    • Three makeup brands you like right now?
  • One entry per person.
  • You must use a valid email address to win.
  • The giveaway ends on Monday, April 13, 2015 at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time). 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

Tomorrow I’m meeting with a client to finalize the menu for her sister’s baby shower & I”m really looking forward to that.

    Enjoy your visit with the in-laws & have a lovely weekend!

    I want to win because I really need the prize due to the fact that I have worked very hard the past 6 months and lost 40lbs. I stopped drinking soda and eating fatty foods, making better choices actually on what I eat. Also I am walking 2 miles every morning and doing 30 mins of cardio every afternoon. I’m adopting this way of life to stay thin and healthy!! Now the side effects of this weight loss is wonderful!! The #1 being all the awesome self confidence..I am so proud of myself for accomplishing such a monumental goal. I can’t wait to go to the family reunion in a month, and look fabulous in a new update outfit, hair and make up which is where I’ll definitely wear this makeup!! This reveal of my new thin and confident self will blow my family away for sure I’m so excited!!
    I will be crossin’ my finger for sure!!

Speaking of my family, I have two of the best shoulders to lean on in them. My hubby is my rock, I adore him. He has cancer, and I have had to step it up with the help of my other rock, my daughter. We are an amazing family. So strong together with plenty of love to bind us forever!

    Speaking of Kickstarters, have you seen the one for Leoht’s Wearable Tech Handbag? If I wasn’t a recent journalism grad (insert tears here), I would throw my money at that kickstarter. Perhaps you or tabs should look into that! I’m sure the cat boss wouldn’t mind a bag to sit in that will also charge his phone for important cat boss business.

    2. Bare Minerals but ONLY for their new Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer which I plan to be rocking ALL summer. It’s my favorite for good skin days!
    3. Becca. I want a couple of the beach tints & souffles SO MUCH for summer!

    If my closet could talk, it would probably say “why don’t you ever wear anything that’s in me besides the jackets?” Lately, I’ve been wearing jeans and t-shirts or long sleeve shirts… It might also say “you and I both know that you’ll never wear that loose tunic length tank top with the giraffe decal… it has a 3D fabric flower on it for goodness sakes.” My closet would definitely be passive aggressive.

    – Smashbox: I’ve only started to discover their universe recently, and I like how usable and versatile their products are. The Halo Blush is awesome.

    IVe been really digging MAC Cosmetics, Tarte, and Dior. I tried a Dior foundation and it was medium coverage but so flawless! And Mac lipsticks and shadows I’ve been into recently. With taste I’m digging their cream foundation and lipstick right now. I have some good beauty and makeup look pics on my Instagram please check out at glossedonbeauty on Instagram.

    I am absolutely loving Josie Maran’s Matchmaker foundation. I had been using a different brand for many years before I decided to try this one and I’m so glad I did. It goes on white but somehow blends perfectly into my skin and leaves my face looking flawless! Must be some kind of magic goin’ on. 🙂
    For my lips, it’s Artistry Sheer Coverage lip gloss and for my eyes, I use both Nyx and Covergirl ShineShadow.

Well, I just love make-up, and no one brand seems to do everything that I like to perfection. I wish I could say that all my favorite brands are completely cruelty-free. At least IT Cosmetics, Urban Decay, Hourglass, Cover Fx, and Too Faced make the list, as far as I know. I hope the others are working on it.

    I hope you had a nice weekend! I had a bunch of friends over on Saturday night for a bourbon tasting party, so of course I spent the whole day running around and getting ready. Sunday I rested. 🙂

    My closet would say, “Give it up. Just accept you aren’t going to fit into your skinny jeans anymore.”

    I am truly ADDICTED to makeup but its been so hard to buy any new items that have been coming out. My husband & I just bought our first home together & with a mortgage & 2 kids, it’s been so hard for me to purchase any new makeup! That gift card would help this deprived makeup lover, lol!

    The only kickstarter I’ve supported thus far is for a local taco place. They ended up making their goal and were able to open up a full time restaurant! 🙂 Yay tacos!

    I supported exploding kittens on kick starter. It is a card game. It looks hilarious. I couldn’t resist.

    Confirmation coming up this Saturday! Although I’ve been working with the Confirmation program for 6 years or so it’s still a very special day.
