It's Giveaway Time!!!

As many of you know, I'm always experimenting with beauty products. There are times when I stumble upon a product that is so absolutely amazing, I can't help but add it to my regimen. Yet, there are times when a product doesn't work for me, and I end up tossing it in the trash, or it works for a little while, and then I get bored with it and leave it to collect dust on my shelves. Well, thanks to one of my lovely divas, who so graciously pointed out how wasteful these practices are, I will no longer be stocking my shelves with products I don't use, or filling our landfills with unconsumed products. Instead, I will be giving away unused and or lightly used products to one of you lucky ladies so that you can benefit from my wasteful behavior!

This particular giveaway will include products that I've sampled, and those that I haven't gotten around to sampling. Now, on to the details!

The Products

#1. Jazzing temporary hair color in Spiced Cognac by Clairol.

I recieved this product a while back from a Clairol representative who wanted me to review it. After discovering that I was pregnant, I chose to abstain from anything that may have proven harmful to the baby, which included hair dye. I regret having taken so long to do anything with the samples, but have finally decided to give one away and keep one for myself, as I will be using it to touch up the permanent color I applied to my bangs a few months ago. If you recall, I've used Jazzing hair color in the past (See "Red Hot" Jazzing Hair Color by Clairol: An Update) and like the fact that it can "jazz" up your color without the harsh chemicals found in permanent dye. The great thing about Jazzing temporary hair color is that it:

• Contains no ammonia
• Contains no peroxide
• Comes in 18 fabulous shades
  

Visit Clairol Professional for more info on the Jazzing line of hair color.

#2. It's a 10 Miracle Leave In

I was excited to try this product after seeing a review for it on HeyChelseyyy, a fashion and beauty blog I follow. It worked so well for Chelsey that I figured it would work great on my hair, right? Wrong! Needless to say, it may work for one of you.

This product claims to:

• Repair dry, damaged hair
• Add shine
• Detangle
• Control frizz
• Seal & protect hair color
• Prevent split ends
• Stop hair breakage
• Create silkiness
• Enhance natural body
• Work as a flat iron spray and thermal protector

I purchased this 4oz bottle from Ulta, and trust, this is not a cheap buy, so hopefully it will find a nice home somewhere.

#3. Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme

This never-been-used 2oz jar was given to me by a girlfriend of mine and I just never got around to sampling it. I just recently sampled the Curly Pudding and loved it, so I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't just as fabulous. Unlike the Curly Pudding, which is considered a styling aid, the Baby Buttercreme is labeled as an "ultra hydrating" moisturizer.

For more info, visit the Miss Jessie's website.

#4. Chi Iron Guard

I used this thermal protection spray once and it left a slight residue on my hair. That didn't come as a complete surprise considering that I've never seemed to have much luck when it comes to thermal protecting sprays. However, I know many women that swear by Chi products, so this may just be the thing you need to help protect your hair from the heat of flat irons and curling irons.

#5. Cool Bronzer by Elf

I've only used this bronzer a few times, and it just doesn't seem to make my skin pop like my gold tone bronzer by Icing. You can use the colors separately as a highlighter, countour and blush, or mix them together for a layered, cool tone bronzing effect.

Giveaway Instructions

To participate in this giveaway, you must be:

• A follower (I would prefer you be a leader. That was corny, I know :-P).
• 18 years of age or older
• A U.S. resident

Picking the winner will be real simple, for this is not a contest. I'm just gonna throw a bunch of names into a hat and pull one out. I'll even record a video of me doing this so you'll know that there's no cheating or favoritism involved. To enter your name into the hat, you must state in the comment section of this post:

• How you discovered my blog
• How long you've been a follower
• Why you love this blog so much (Stroke my ego a bit. Flattery will get you everywhere!)

The first 20 divas to provide a complete submission will be entered into the drawing.

C'est tout!
