In addition to saving money, another love of mine is beauty products. If I can save money on beauty products I’ll actually use, then I’m happy. I have my own online beauty column as the Johnstown, PA beauty examiner. I try to keep the theme of my column as beauty on a budget. Writing about beauty sales, double duty products, and more. My column is still fairly new so I wanted to introduce it to you all. I thought, what a better way to do that then to giveaway some of my favorite beauty products and beauty brands. Some of the items you’ve already seen in my posts. Don’t worry though, all items are brand new and sealed. Some are from some of my great sponsors while others are some I scooped up during some amazing sales.
I’m going to list some of the giveaway items I have for you. I say some because I still have more items arriving any day now to add to the list but I just couldn’t wait to post this any longer.
Beauty Prize includes:
Smashbox Goldmine face and body pallete — This is a great little box with 2 tiers. top tier is lip gloss and highlighter while the bottom tier is a shimmery face and body powder. Great for the sun kissed look
Montagne Jeunesse anti stress Mud Pac face mask
Revlon Chocolate Velvet lipstick — this is a darker brownish-red lipstick great for evenings and fall season.
California Sun Glow bronzer by Steiner — the bronzer itself comes in a cute little clay pot you can find it on timetospa.com for $35 a pot.
A small compact mirror from Fragrancenet.com
A pumice stone — so handy for summer feet and open sling backs
AVON 24k gold ultra color rich lipstick — this lipstick is a must in my collection. Getting increasingly harder to find right now. I LOVE this lipstick because it’s a great light and shimmery lipstick any time but I also love to use this to lighten up darker lipsticks and add shimmer to other lipsticks to almost double my lip palette.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion — again another fave. I scooped these up during their recent sale. One for me and one for my winner. This product will turn any of your eyeshadows into an eyeliner. Have an infinite eyeliner collection limited only by your eyeshadow colors.
Bvlgari .05 fl oz perfume Extreme. To me it has a light green tea like scent to it. lovely
.25 fl oz botle of Victoria Secrets Dream Angels Heavenly perfume — I love to have a variety of perfumes on hand for my mood and the occasion but this perfume is a constant in my collection.
$15 gift certificate to Beautyexpressmall.com where you can pick up this year’s crackle nail polish trend. Don’t like the crackle? That’s ok they have solid color nail polish pens, glitter nail polish pens, and face masks you can get with your voucher instead. (this item will be emailed to the winner)
1 Concrete Minerals eyeshadow of winners choice — I’m a huge fan of Concrete Minerals. I was going to pick out one of my faves to giveaway but I thought it would be more fun to let the winner pick the one they’d like to try. There are so many colors to choose from. Just when I think I found my fave from them I try another color I like. This is not sponsored by the company but by me. I love their products and want the winner to be able to try it for themselves.
1 Sally Hansen Nail Prisms nail polish of my choice — I love this line of nail polishes. Unfortunately they’re getting harder to find but I tracked some down. A friend saw mine and just had to have it. Looked in several different stores and couldn’t find it. I’ll save you the leg work though. I have one in the giveaway for you.
1 AVEENO Active Naturals hydrosport sunblock spray SPF 85 — designed to be applied even to wet skin. This is the sunscreen I use. It’s convenient, sweat proof, waterproof, and dermatologist recommended. what more can you ask from a sunscreen?
1 Hedy’s ma.nish.ma chopstick glitter eye liner in the color Silver Lining. I have the black one and I love the light sprinkle of glitter it puts on. Great for nights out, holidays, or anytime you want to add a little extra sparkle to your eyes.
1 Concrete Minerals eye shadow in the color Ruse. Ok don’t worry, the winner will still get to pick the color they want as promised. I own the color Ruse and I love it. It’s so versatile. It’s a goldish color that is great alone or as a highlighter. I just received my most recent Concrete Minerals order and they threw in a 1/2 size container of the Ruse. Since I already own it I figured I’d give this one to the lucky winner.
Urban Decay loose Pigment in the color Asphyxia. Urban decay loose pigments are very vibrant and long lasting. I love this particular color because it’s sort of an irridescent pink/purple. It’s a very unique look and goes with a number of colors.
A few items aren’t pictured like the Concrete Minerals eye shadow since the winner will choose whichever one they want, and the $15 Beautyexpressmall.com gift voucher as it is an e-certificate.
New items may be added if i find some good deals before the giveaway is over. I am holding this giveaway to introduce my readers to my beauty column. Most prizes will come from me directly.
***UPDATE*** totally sorry all. I realized I didn’t leave a link to my column in the mandatory entry section. I fixed it. Thanks for those that made the effort to look up the link.
I like the Remember when you learned how to mix colors? Have some fun with your make up post.
I enjoyed reading “Packing your bags for summer beauty” as we go on a spring break trip every year and I am tired of frying in the sun, I would like to try the Aveeno tanner so my Michigan glowing white skin doesnt blind someone.

I like your post about mixing colors the most because I do this a lot too. I mix lipsticks all the time and I have mixed shadows a couple of times. Although I do feel that mixing doesn’t work well with every type of shadow.
Loved your “Packing Your Bags for Summer Beauty” — its something I definitely need tips on! Very useful!

Makeup is fun to experiment with. I feel bad when people are afraid to experiment with color, so I love it when I see people being encouraged to play with their makeup. 🙂
Monave vegan lip glaze review is the one I like
