Contest: Big Hair, Big Lashes- 350 Plus Subscribers!!!!!!!

I finally made it out to Ulta today to purchase some goodies for a blog contest. Right now I am at just over 350 followers and I am so grateful for your readership and for contributing so much to this blog.

I made the theme of this contest “Big Hair, Big Lashes” because I am obsessed with volume. Big hair, thick lashes, ruffles and all kinds of voluminous texture in my clothes…you get the picture.

The contest prize is the following:

1. Redken “Guts 10” mini, which is a volumizing spray (Elle- AllThatGlitters21 on YouTube) recently recommended it, so I picked one up for the contest (and one for myself too!)

2. Redken “Satinwear 02” mini, which is a smoothing blowdry lotion (gotta do the blow dry to get the volume!)

3. Redken Extreme “Anti Snap” mini, which is a leave-in protein hair repair treatment. I have been using this product for awhile now and I like it. I am not sure how much of a difference it makes, but I do like it.

4. L’Oreal Volume Collagen Mascara (waterproof) in “Blackest Black.” This is my favorite mascara right now, so I decided to spread the love so someone else can full, thick, luscious lashes. See my rave about this mascara here.

Here are the rules for this contest:

1. You must be a subscriber/blog follower, (please enter once only)

2. You must enter your comment with a valid name/login. No anonymous entries will be accepted. A simple “enter me” is all it takes 🙂 or you can write a longer comment, whatever you desire!

3. You must provide your email address in your comment so I can contact you should you win. You can write it like this: veronabrit at gmail dot com (less chance of spam this way.)

4. The contest closes on Friday, February 26th at midnight CST. No entries will be accepted after that time.

5. I will announce the winner next Saturday, February 27th. UPDATE: as with my last contest, I will choose the winning comment using RANDOM.ORG. Sorry I forgot to include that!

6. You must provide me with your mailing address if you win so I can mail the package to you.

I hope you will enter this contest 🙂 I bought the same products for myself, so hopefully we will both enjoy them/explore them. I also got myself a mini of the volumizing mousse, because I am always looking for something to out-do my Garnier Fructis XXL volume mousse.

While at Ulta, I also picked up some Seche Vite topcoat, which Tiffany D raves about. I just used it on my nails and it really does work. I like it better than the OPI brand topcoat. I did 3 layers of nail polish and used this topcoat, and I notice my nails did dry faster.

The color I painted my nails with is from OPI’s new Hong Kong collection. It’s called “Lucky Lucky Lavender.” I really like it. I haven’t had a chance to clean up the sides yet, but this is a pic of the color. It actually reminds me of the color of these pretty J.Crew pumps.

The color is a bit darker than the pumps (I used 3 coats) but I absolutely love it. I am seeing a lot of lilac everywhere for spring. I love the soft pastels and brights that come along with spring. It inspires me to add some color to my usual black ensembles.

Speaking of awesome shoes with bows, I just ordered these gorgeous Paris Hilton pumps. I just couldn’t resist the amazing bow. I got them in black and they have hot pink underneath (no doubt a nod to Mr. Louboutin.) They are called Paris Hilton- Senorita Peep Toe Pumps and I got them from Macys.com.

I have been looking for shoes like this for a long time. I saw some at Ann Taylor a couple of weeks ago, but the bow just wasn’t bold enough. I love that the bow on these is more dramatic. I can’t wait until they come in. I loved them in gold too, but black just seemed more versatile. I can see these becoming my favorite pumps. A lot of people have said that these are a replica of the Valentino pumps. I can’t afford Valentino, but give me a black pump with a huge bow by any brand I can afford, and I’ll take it! They were $89.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for reading, and if you’re interested in the products above, please do enter the contest.

xoxo,

Veronika.

    Hi Veronika,
    I've been a follower of your blog for a while now, but just realised that I'm not actually logged in as a follower! I love your blog, it's so fun to read! It makes my mornings at work brighter, I swear 🙂

    Not sure if you're willing to ship to Bermuda, but if I can, please enter me!
    my email is: info at invitequeen dot com.

    P.S. I just ordered that clover necklace off etsy that you just had on your OOTD. I'd seen it on your post when you first got it, but for some reason it re-inspired me in your last outfit. Can't wait for it to arrive!

    Enjoy your weekend 🙂

    P.P.S. I'm not sure why i can't comment as "mrsQueen09" and it keeps showing up as "info" but i swear I am subscribed….:-/

    BTW – I love Redkin Guts Volumizer. I spray it just on the roots and use a large round brush to blow dry. The volume lasts for a couple days and it doesn't feel like you have product in your hair! 🙂
