Apothica Giveaway!

Hellllllo friends! Happy (snowy) Thursday! :) I've got a fantastic giveaway and I'm really excited to post about it...Definitely a ray of sunshine in this snowy weather, in my opinion... When I went outside this morning and realized I needed to shovel (AGAIN), I was definitely in need of some sunshine in my mood.

Okay, so back story....Recently, I found Apothica.com and realized I dig all the stuff they offer-Smashbox, Stila, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, etc... :) So, when they asked if if I'd be interested in doing a giveaway, I was interested. While I am in support of sponsored giveaways, etc, I'd never done one b/c I want it to be a company and/or a product I use, enjoy, believe in, etc. I've been contacted before and, after looking into things, I just didn't think I wanted to represent their products b/c they weren't things I could honestly say I used, etc. But, Apothica is pretty cool, friends. And they carry lots of stuff I've either wanted to try or already wear. :) And as a bonus, every time I've ordered from them, I've gotten fast delivery and great customer service, both things I think are a kinda a big deal.  

Currently, my absolute favorite item on their site is the Stila Stay All Day eyeliner in Carbon Black. Look at how freaking sharp that point is! And it really does "stay all day" as it's appropriately called...and it makes a great line, but doesn't look overdramatic. I'd read reviews after my eyeliner flaked/smudged all over and made me look like a raccoon by 5pm...and this one came highly recommended by various beauty blogs, etc... Anyway, yada yada, but it's awesome. (And that's completely and totally my opinion and a product I personally selected, not the words of anyone else. :) )

Okay okay, enough rambling... On to the giveaway..

I have a $25 gift card to Apothica dot com for one of you fabulous blog friends! :)

Have a great Thursday, friends! I'm ready to be snow-free here in T-town! Stayed home from work yesterday, but still worked from home. That's exciting for aboooout one work day. After that, it becomes a groan as I boot up my laptop in my pajamas. Admittedly, it has been pretty fun to stay home with G dog though. :)

Hey Jax, as you know I follow you..haha! I have never seen this site before, but LOVE that they have a preggo section! I would totally use the $25 to buy the "tummy rub stretch mark butter" or the "boob tube" (which i find humorous!) Also, blogging about my new finds in just a few seconds. http://iloveguinness.blogspot.com/

Nicole said...

I'm a follower! And freakin-aye (what does that even mean and why do all my friends say it so much?)...I have no idea what I would get. There's too much to choose from! But the thing that immediately caught my eye on the first page was the Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette. I love smokey eyes and my current Too Faced box has some of my favorite eye shadow colors. This would be a nice addition to my makeup collection!

Heather said...

Hi love! Okay, first off I AM a Jax follower (for life) and I “liked” Apothica on Facebook and “followed” them on Twitter. If I were to be so lucky to be chosen as the winner of this fabulous bloggy giveaway, I would likely bust through the $25 gift card with buying Aveda’s Color Conserve or Volumizing Shampoo/Conditioner AND their amazing hand relief lotion (nothing on the planet like it). Every time I walk past that store in the mall I have to stop and breathe in the amazing aromas.

XOXO! -H

I'm a follower--please enter me! Based on your review, I'd get the Stila eyeliner. I'm on a lifelong quest for an eyeliner that doesn't smudge and STAYS ON! So far, the smashbox smudge pot (ironically named) has been best, but I want something I don't have to put on with a brush. Thanks for the chance!

Angie said...
