But only ‘cos I love you.

I’ve been holding on to this prize since I bought it back in August… and then BarryM released a near perfect dupe and cheapened my giveaway prize by about £14 *shakes fist at BarryM* – still, nevermind… the ‘label conscious’ amongst us will still appreciate it on that merit!

I don’t really need to say too much about this one do I?

Brrrrr!  Halfway through the month of January and I’m lamenting the loss of Summer in a big way.  Anyone else in the UK completely fed up of it getting dark so early?  I miss the sun and so does my skin!

Not that I’m a natural tanner anyway, I sort of go a bit pink (roast beef stylee) and then white again… thank heavens for a little bit of tan fakery!

Which brings me on to today’s giveaway prize…

Xen-Tan have stepped in and generously donated one of their Luxury Tanning Collections worth £39.99!

They Say:

This glow-giving tanning collection is perfect for a darker, richer colour with a flawless finish.

Our Luxury Tanning Collection is perfect for a darker, but natural colour, so for an added boost of beauty invest in this sumptuous Xen-Tan gift set, containing Dark Lotion (236ml) Body Scrub (236ml) and a Luxury Tanning Mitt – all the essentials to warm up a sunshine starved face and body this winter.

And if you’re a bit worried about being too pasty for self-tanners, fear not…. I had a great experience with the natural golden-olive tones that Xen-Tan produces.

Shimmer and sparkle with this New Cid Cosmetics i-glow  worth £23.50.  A beautiful shimmer powder that will light up even the dullest of January mornings.

These marbelised glow powders are the perfect ‘pick me up’ for the skin. Using our famous baked formulation for easy, silky smooth application, i – glow has light reflective pigments for mimicking your skins natural radiance.

I tried to go for something fairly universal, so plumped for the shade Sirocco which would make a beautiful highlighter on darker skintones and bring a hint of warmth to other pale-ys like me.

Thirteen… day 13… Unlucky for some, but hopefully not for YOU!

I have two gorgeous DuWop products kindly donated by Simple Beauty…

These take me back a few years to the time when anyone who was ANYONE was plumping their lips with Lip Venom.  The most celebrated Lip Venom lover of them all? None other than Mrs Beckham and her infamous pout!

The products up for grabs today for one lucky reader are…

Venom Flash (£14.50)

Lip Venom was the very first lip plumper on the market, creating the lip plumping category for the beauty industry. The tingly gloss uses essential oils to enhance lips’ natural color and shape by increasing circulation. The result: fuller bee stung lips.

DuWop’s Venom Flash is the same formula as Lip Venom, spiked with silver shimmer. Once applied to your lips, Venom Flash reflects the light, giving them extra sheen for the fullest, flashiest lips.

Plumping Paste (£15.00)

Plumpers have come a long way since the dawn of the original Lip Venom ten years ago. DuWop constantly strives for innovation in this category and has created a treatment masque for the lips that conditions, exfoliates, and plumps simultaneously. Plumping Paste has a rich consistency, dense with conditioners like castor seed oil and hydrogenated jojoba.

It also contains a new, highly effective ingredient to gently exfoliate and condition. An alternative to sugar scrubs, Plumping Paste uses jojoba beads that are massaged into the lips and wiped a way with a damp cloth after 10 minutes. Combined with the classic Venom formula, Plumping Paste leaves the lips supple, full and hydrated- the perfect canvas for lipstick or gloss.

.

If these two pout-perfecting goodies don’t give you lips to rival Angeline Jolie, I don’t know what will!

Any excuse to pamper ourselves rotten eh?

Monu have kindly donated one of their Home Spa Sets worth at least £33!

The kit contains 100ml Warming Ginger Body Oil and 150g Papaya Bath Salt to help you create your own Spa experience at home!  There’s even a natural sea sponge included!

• All you need for a complete spa experience, this soothing treatment oil not only doubles as a nourishing emulsifying bath and shower oil, but add our bath salt, and it transforms into an invigorating scrub to smooth away dead skin.
• With Calendula, Jojoba Seed oil and Vitamins A and E.
• Restores suppleness and softness.

Tempted?  I’ll be honest with you… I didn’t wanna give this one up – the Ginger Body Oil smells immense.  It’s a lucky, lucky lady who wins this set!

Today I’ve got a Shiseido Maquillage Dramatical Gel Liner in Gold (£22) for you to win!

Once applied, this liner doesn’t go anywhere… deeply pigmented and long lasting, it dries in a flash which makes it a great choice for women with hooded eyelids like mine.

What we need to banish these winter blues is gorgeous, glowing skin!  St. Tropez have kindly donated two products that should help you achieve just that…

St Tropez Instant Glow Body Lotion (£12.00) is suitable for all skin tones and will give you an instant glow that washes off easily with soap and water when you want to return to your more Wintery self!

The other prize up for grabs is a St. Tropez Instant Shimmer Stick (£15.00) which promises to impart a beautiful bronzed shimmer wherever you apply.

Get your glow on!
