February Giveaway with Shabby Apple

Earlier last year I was contacted with the opportunity to do a giveaway with Shabby Apple for my readers. With this being the month of love, I felt like this would be the perfect time to do it.

Shabby Apple is an online dress boutique selling women’s dresses, casual dresses, skirts, and women’s apparel. A lot of the pieces on the site have a vintage feel and look super feminine.

One lucky Spiced Beauty reader will have the opportunity to win a NOTHIN' LIKE A DAME dress!

Available in XXS, XS, S, M, L & XL

A simple shift takes on a new form with a lei of tucks, folds and petal-like ruffles along the rounded scoop neck of the Nothing Like a Dame dress.  Princess seams and careful tailoring keep the shape classic and form-flattering, and the cap sleeves and deep vermillion color make it summer's perfect stand-alone piece.  This dress is made from a lightweight, delicate fabric and FITS GENEROUSLY on our fit guide. 

Rules

• Must be a Spicedbeauty.com follower.
• Must be a USA resident

Have you entered my OttLite Natural Makeup Mirror Giveaway?

Hey Ladies!

This is a quick reminder that my OttLite Natural Makeup Mirror Giveaway ends on  

September 24.

Surprisingly, I thought the giveaway would been a bit more popular but I know people hesitate to enter picture giveaways. Natural light is good for Makeup Artist, Bloggers & Vloggers (filming at night or in a room with no windows)

All you have to do is email me a picture of your makeup organization set up to

jenn (at) spicedbeauty (com)

Here is an example of what you can send (if this is your set up). 

Simple.

So now that there is more clarification go and ENTER

Every girl needs a OttLite Natural Makeup mirror

Every makeup artist + beauty junkie knows how important it is to have natural light/good lighting when doing your makeup. I remember my beauty days before I got my certificate.. doing my makeup before work in the bathroom.

WRONG move! 

It would usually end up with me spending more time wiping it off than putting it on. Those are the times I wish I had a OttLite Natural Makeup mirror.

Bring the accuracy and beauty of OttLite natural lighting indoors to help you apply makeup flawlessly for a confident look with no surprises once you go outside. The secret to the OttLite Makeup mirror is the precise blend of light wavelengths – OttLite® 508 Illumination™.

This mirror will help me:

• On MUA shoots (indoor ones of course)
• Filming youtube videos ( when the sun goes down)
• Taking product swatches for the blog

Mirror Breakdown

Pro
* Dual sided mirror features 5x/1x magnification (Perfect for tweezing!)
* True to color tones
* Fashionable prints which can match any room
* Movable head
* One button touch to turn on

Con
$69.99 is pricey for some but trust me it's worth the investment!

These swatches were taken with the Ottlite mirror. Doesn't it look like I was near a mirror!

Win the book Can You Get Hooked On Lip Balm? + $50 Sephora GC

The lovely ladies from www.thebeautybrains.com gave me the opportunity to read/review their new book Can You Get Hooked On Lip Balm?

Paperback $16.95

This informative book cuts through the confusing, misleading, and sometimes false information that beauty companies bombard consumers with and provides scientific answers to hundreds of questions about cosmetics.

TEN TRUTHS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT YOUR COSMETICS:

1. Curling Shampoos Don’t Work!

2. Wearing the right fragrance can actually make people think you have lost weight.

3. While brushing your hair does temporarily help distribute natural oils, in the long run brushing “100 strokes every night” strips layers of cuticle and weakens hair.

4. There is no proof that tourmaline flat irons perform any better than the less expensive non-ceramic versions.

5. Sunscreen is one of the best cosmetics you can use to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free.

6. Spit on a zit may not be an old wives’ tale after all!

7. There is a difference between antiperspirant and deodorant. Antiperspirant actually stops you from sweating, while deodorant just masks the odor.

8. No cosmetic will make your nails grow longer and stronger, but you can do things to improve their condition.

9. Urea is found in cosmetics, but it does not come from urine!

10. Multiple types of parabens are used in formulas to ensure that your personal care and cosmetic products are as free as possible from disease-causing microbes.


I enjoyed reading this book because the answers were clean and concise. Also good percent of the questions asked were ones that myself or you guys would have. I want to tell you more but you will just have to get the book at these stores:

Amazon

Indigo

Barnes & Noble

Borders

Books-A-Milllion

Indiebound

Walmart

Dove Shea Butter Cream Oil Body Wash Review + Giveaway

Right now winter is killing me softy! My hands, face, arms and elbows are heavily moisturized but my legs are dry :( For the past couple week I have been using the NEW Dove® Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ to retain moisture.

NEW Dove® Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ is specially designed to leave dry, dull skin feeling smooth and radiant. This body wash is a whipped blend of rich cream infused with shea butter which melts into dry, dull skin to leave it soft, smooth and radiant. The shea butter offers a deliciously enticing fragrance – blend of warm vanilla and brown sugar scents.

Consistency:
Reminds me of whipped butter and it melts into your skin without a greasy residue. I find that it doesn't lather up with a lot of bubbles..which doesn't bother me.

The NutriumMoisture™ technology found in this body wash combines skin nourishing and skin moisturizing ingredients to help skin retain its natural moisture by replenishing lipids lost during cleansing. This body wash builds on the Dove® heritage of mild cleansing and superior moisturization for healthy, beautiful skin. 

Product:

The bottle is huge at 710 mL so it will last a long time.

Smell:
The smell is amazing. I love sweet scents that this like linger in the shower.

Price:

$7.49 CDN

Overall:

This is a product that I would recommend because I'm seeing progress in my skin, it smells great and it's affordable.

Visit www.dove.com for additional products, such as the Shea Butter Beauty Bar, from the #1 dermatologist recommended brand of bar and body wash.
