When a girlfriend gave me this fun card, I laughed out loud and set it on my desk. Most of us, ok, maybe it’s just me, but the morning after a big night always leaves me seeking a little help from my make-up drawer.
As many of my friends can attest, I have a mild obsession with a certain concealer. It’s from Cle de Peau (don’t ask me how to pronounce it, I just use it!) and it is my go-to beauty cure all. It lasts forever and makes me look awake and fresh when I’m feeling anything but.
Concealing away one morning I thought it would be great to do a giveaway on the blog of this trusted favorite. I took a trip to my beloved Cos Bar on Coast Village Road to see if they would consider partnering for a giveaway on the blog.
Ok, I have to digress here for a minute to talk about the store. This amazing makeup store is a wonderful gem in Montecito. It’s full service in that old school way of the customer is always right and wait, Val just sit for a minute and let me touch up your make-up even though you’re just heading to Petco. I always leave feeling better about myself, usually with a new lipstick and a sample of some delicious smelling perfume.
So back to the giveaway, please stay with me here, it’s worth it. When I mentioned it to Marcella she answered back with, “Why not do a giveaway of all your favorite things?” So, feeling a little bit Oprah with the urge to shout, “one in every color!” we put together this beautiful giveaway valued at over $400(!) —all with the hopes to make you feel a little more beautiful this summer.
This basket of goodies is filled with all my favorite products to make you feel beautiful this summer!
Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner
(with our hard Santa Barbara water, this stuff does the trick)
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask
(I’m going to start giving this to my new mom friends)
Cle de Peau Concealer
(of course)
Clarins Gentle Milk-Lotion SPF 20 Progressive Tanning
