Bonjour Jolie Subscription Review & Giveaway

Bonjour Jolie Subscription Box Giveaway through May 31st 2013!

I’ve seen a few subscription boxes geared for women’s “time of the month” but Bonjour Jolie is one of the few boxes I feel does it right.  With Bonjour Jolie, you’ll get a monthly box geared for that time of the month, but with some really spot on pampering perks beyond feminine care products-  this box was gorgeously wrapped and had some awesome beauty products that will have you swooning!

Bonjour Jolie Review & Giveaway

Every woman needs tampons and pads during her period, but seriously- we WANT some new lipgloss, luxurious body lotion, pampering bath salts and of course some delicious teas and some Advil (cramps suck!)

This box was packed with value and everything came wrapped like a gift in gorgeous bags, tissue and there were some pink rose petals in there as well!  I loved the Stila lipgloss and the Hempz and Pureology samples.  The tea is delicious and of course, the Advil will come in handy.  Two things I adored about this box was that the quality was high for only $16, so you get plenty of value and the presentation is superb.  Additionally, I loved the convenience of it-  I can easily stock my purse with the items in here to take to work, on a trip or keep in my “purse emergency kit” for a time I might need it.  Value and convenience- plus, it looked PRETTY. We have a winner!

Additionally, Bonjour Jolie paired with 2 Chicks With Chocolates for some delicious truffles in their mini sampler box.    You will have everything you need for “on the go,” but also, to sit at home and destress with some hot tea, delicious chocolates, bath salts and spa products to feel fabulous from head to toe!

Review and Giveaway: Paleo Goodies from Steve’s PaleoGoods (US)

stevespaleogoods Beautiful GiveawaysThe other day, I rode my bike home from work, when I really should have ridden it to the grocery store, since I had exactly no food in my house, except for one lemon and one onion. I was cranky hungry and not interested in going to the store. Then, I saw it. It was like a mirage in the desert. A huge box filled with Paleo goodies from Steve’s PaleoGoods.

Now, I know I should still have gone to the grocery store, but instead, I sampled. Hey, it’s my job to review these things and give my honest opinion, right?

Let’s talk about Paleo for a second. It gets a bad rap because it tends to attract zealots. But basically, it’s a grain-free way of living. So, while I don’t exactly like their dogma, I know I can trust a brand that has the word “paleo” in it. Simply because that means it passed muster with the “caveperson” crowd and doesn’t have anything gross or chemical in it.

I was sent so many different things. Jerky, PaleoStix (one with spinach flavor!), dried fruit, a cereal-type product called “PaleoKrunch” which I haven’t tried yet, but it looks amazing.

The first thing I tried was the buffalo chicken jerky. I’ll be honest: it looked a lot like something you give a dog. I suspect dogs would go nuts for it, actually. But it tasted amazing. Seriously wonderful.

Doing good things for kinds

The beauty of these goodies is that you do not need to eat like a caveperson to enjoy them. AND they give a portion of their proceeds to this program for underprivileged youth, so they can go to Crossfit for free. They’re a really cool organization, one worth supporting. Healthy treats for you, healthy kids in general? What’s not to like?

Note: While this giveaway is for the continental US, Steve’s PaleoGoods not only ships to Canada, but offers a 10% discount to Canadian shoppers to offset shipping costs!

Enter To Win A Complete Great Gatsby Inspired Look From Mary Kay! ($75+ value!)


Mary Kay Great Gatsby Inspired Look Giveaway (through May 20th, 2013)

 

 

Win A Great Gatsby Inspired Look from Mary Kay Cosmetics!

Are you excited about the new Great Gatsby movie, or are you typically more a fan of the book?  Either way, if you’re looking for a dramatic, smoky look with bold lips and color staying power- this is the giveaway for you!  Mary Kay has put together a bold look that is perfect for a night out, photoshoot or special event…or you can sport it for the Great Gatsby premiere on May 10th!

Here are some Gatsby inspired ideas that Mary Kay sent over….

The upcoming movie “The Great Gatsby” has everyone talking – and not just about the storyline! Beauties everywhere are buzzing with excitement as the 1920s motif promises stunning beauty looks and a decadent array of gorgeous flapper dresses, lavish furs and bedazzled barrettes and headpieces.

 

In anticipation of the May 10th premiere, Mary Kay Glam Squad Celebrity Stylist Lo VonRump and Mary Kay Glam Squad Celebrity Makeup Artist Marissa Nemes offer their top tips for achieving a head-to-toe gorgeous 1920s look reminiscent of Daisy in the remade “Great Gatsby” film.  Of course, let me know if you’d like an interview with Lo or Marissa.  I’d be happy to set it up!

 

Makeup:

-  To achieve Daisy’s soft, smoky eye…Apply Mary Kay Cream Eye Color in Metallic Taupe and blend a charcoal eye shadow like Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Coal over and into the eye crease

-  Line the water and lash line with Mary Kay Eyeliner in Black, smudge the liner using a smudger brush and sweepMary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Coal under the lower lash line to create depth

- Re-line the top lash line with Mary Kay Liquid Eyeliner and apply a generous coat of Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara for a set of heavenly lashes!

-For Daisy’s iconic, bright red lip, Apply Mary Kay NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Rock N’ Red for a vivid, glossy pop of color

- For a more versatile red lip, apply Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick in Sizzling Red. This lipstick can be applied as a balm, stain or a full bodied lipstick

 

Style:

-  Layer a pearl rope necklace over a suit jacket or cocktail dress, stack gold and silver bracelets and don an oversized marcasite cocktail ring for a retro 1920′s feel

-  Look for clothing in romantic lilac hues, floral prints and shades of pastel. Incorporate items with sequin, beaded and silk detailing to achieve a flapper inspired look

-  For glam hair like Daisy, accessorize with art deco hair clips and headbands with feather detailing with an art deco nail that stands out and is on trend with 1920’s glamour. Try the “reverse French” manicure in black and white

Win A Great Gatsby Inspired Look from Mary Kay Cosmetics!  May 2013

One lucky winner will get a Lash Love Mascara, True Dimensions Lipstick, Nourishine Lip Gloss, black eyeliner, liquid eyeliner & coal eye color as well as a Metallic Taupe Creamy Eye Color…all fabulous Mary Kay products to complete your Great Gatsby inspired look- over $75 in product!

Sewing Studio on Craftsy.com ($30 value)

I’m so excited to bring this giveaway to all of you! My first one on Beautiful Giveaways (3 cheers!).

Sewing Studio with Diana Rupp

I’ve been an avid student on Craftsy.com and today they are giving away the course Sewing Studio with Diana Rupp.  It’s a $29.99 value and you can read more about it (including a full course review) on the School of Moxie blog here.

Lots of people ask me how they can start sewing and what to do if they are a beginner.  I think this class is a great option!  The instruction is excellent and the format is so accessible.  I’ve made home decor pillows for friends and just finished a skirt for myself that I’m going to wear this weekend for a opening night at my favorite theatre in Los Angeles!  It’s super chic and it fits me perfectly.
