Shana's Summer Solstice Giveaway - Day 5

Hosting a giveaway is hard work.  Especially when you have technical difficulties, I am telling you.  I fully intend to finish this out though so here we go!  In keeping with the time frame and instead of dragging the last four days out any longer we are going to combine them so that the last two are HUGE prizes.

For my beach bunnies I want you to be sittin' pretty as you enjoy the sand and surf, so I am gifting you with this bikini, beach bag and hat to block out the rays!

All items are designed exclusively for mark. by Carlos Falchi.  The Take Me to Rio Bag ($40) is an over-sized tote that is perfect for holding all the essential beach items.  The Getaway Beach Hat ($16) is reversible and offers maximum sun protection.  Lastly, the Brazilian Bikini ($22 each piece) is the first bikini ever offered by mark.!  The top is adjustable and can be worn as a halter or if you are daring enough, strapless!  The bikini is a small/medium.

Thanks again goes to mark. for providing these great prizes for my readers, I am ever so thankful to be able to share them with you all.  You know the drill - leave a comment below to be entered to win!

Shana's Summer Solstice Giveaway-Day 4

Makeup time!  Once again our friends at mark. are hooking one lucky winner up with a lip wardrobe of their amazing lip stains! 

If you have ventured into lipstain territory then you know how drying they can be.  Imagine my surprise when trying mark. Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain my lips were actually conditioned and moisturized, not dry at all.  It didnt feel like I was drawing on my lips with a marker.  With three different colors you are sure to be set for the summer.

Often in the summer we dont want to go out with a full face of makeup, a lip look and some sort of eye accent does the trick.  Got you covered on the lip, for the eyes Blinc has gifted a heated lash curler!  It made total sense to me, I mean when you think of curling your hair the iron is heated right?  Why not have the same thing for your lashes.  This one by Blinc takes it a step beyond what you would normally think of when it comes to eyelash curlers.  It looks just like a mini curling iron/mascara wand. Cute, cute, cute!  To read about how I first found out about Blinc read here.
