CONTEST: Win A Sephora Gift Card (Hosted by KartMe.com)

Happy Friday lovely readers! I’m so excited right now because hubs, my best friend and hubs’ best friend are going out for an awesome dinner tonight (yummy Italian!)…and because I get to host this awesome contest for you ladies.

KartMe contacted me recently to host a contest featuring your “Summer Beauty Favorites.” It’s a new online service that helps you keep all of the links of things you like (for anything- books, travel, makeup, clothing etc) in one place.

I have so many summer favorites, but the ones I included in my Kart were:

1. Nars Laguna Bronzer

2. Nars Turkish Delight Lipgloss

3. Calrins SPF 6 Tanning Milk

4. La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF 60 for the Face

For this contest, I want you to share YOUR TOP 3 summer beauty favorites or wishlist items with me using KartMe. All you have to do is create your Kart and leave me the link to your Kart in the comments of THIS ENTRY. I will pick the winning comment using random.org. The deadline for the contest is Friday, July 2, so you have one week (from today) to enter.

Now to get to the exciting part- we wouldn’t want to leave you empty handed after wish-listing your summer beauty faves (or wants)…so the winner will receive a $50 gift card to Sephora so you can make your wishlist come true!

So, here’s the low-down: KartMe is a new website that helps you find, save and share all of your favorite things (so if you have a husband or another family member that needs a little “hint” for special occasions, this is for you!) Once you sign up, you can save things in online lists called “Karts.” No more cutting and pasting or emailing links! You can just drag the KartMe button to the top of your browser and then anytime you’re surfing online and want to save what you see, you just click the button and it ads it to whatever Kart you want. It’s so easy. I hate copying and pasting, this is much more convenient (especially if you’re an organizing, list-creating freak like me.)

The best thing about KartMe is that it helps you take action. Technology automatically seeks out deals, puts maps on your phone, helps you debate with friends, and suggests new lists. KartMe’s mobile app was even recently selected as an Apple Staff Pick! (and no, I still haven’t gotten my iPhone! *sad face*)
