GIVEAWAY: Beauty Junkie Summer Survival Kit

by Amber on July 1, 2009

in contests / giveaways,fun stuff

We’ve made it through an entire year together on this little ol’ beauty blog here of mine you guys!  July marks the 1st birthday of Beauty Junkies Unite and I’m so excited, you have no idea!  Thank you for reading all of my rambling thoughts, your participation and interaction with myself and other readers, and for even teaching me a thing or ten over the past year!  It has truly been a blast and I look forward to sharing more with you for some time to come.  I want to celebrate both the arrival of summer and BJU’s birthday with a fun giveaway for you all, so check this out!

I’ve got 4 Summer Survival Kits with summer’s most essential items that were hand-picked by yours truly to give away.  I think they are excellent products and want you to experience them too!  Each Summer Survival Kit will include the following:

Sun Sauce Moisturizing Sunless Lotion — Sun Sauce has impressed me with their self-tanning products lately due to how easily I’ve been able to achieve believable bronze color without offensive odor that’s simple to maintain and build up the intensity as desired.

Softlips Lip Protectant w/ SPF 20 (Strawberry & Pina Colada) – It’s easy to forget sunscreen for your lips but it’s even easier to appease your inner lip balm connoisseur with Softlips while you’re also getting the protection lips deserve.  I love the texture that’s not waxy feeling and the flavors are super yum and summery!

Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection Antiperspirant/Deodorant & Body Mist (Delicious Bliss) — The antiperspirant/deodorant helps save me from my little “Sweaty Betty” issue, especially when it’s really hot while keeping me fresh!  The coordinating body mist provides a light summery scent that’s just enough when the heat is on!

bareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen (medium) — There’s no way I would leave this out of the Survival Kit, it’s the most convenient way to dust an SPF 30 on your face, neck, or anywhere else for that matter and it’s so portable!  This will change the way you look at sunscreen and turn it into something you don’t dread.

Brightly colored dip-dyed summer scarf (colors will vary) — These lightweight scarves are one of the hottest fashion accessories for summer and can serve as your “statement piece” to complete a summer ensemble.  They are super versatile and I enjoy wearing them all the time!

Brightly colored summer nail polish (color/brand will vary & coordinate with scarf) — A sandal-ready pedi is essential for summer because it’s cute, and so are you!  The brights will look stellar up against your gorgeous faux tan!

Also included– a handy Beauty Junkies Unite tote bag that can be used for toting things to and from the pool & beach, or as a reusable grocery bag!

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment on this post telling me one of your summer essentials!  This giveaway will run from July 1 — July 31 @ 10:59pm EST.  One comment per person daily.  4 winners will be chosen at random at the close of giveaway and notified via email.  US only, 18+, void where prohibited.  Winners must reply to winning notification emails within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen. Good luck!

This giveaway has ended and comments are now closed.  Please check back soon for a list of winners, winners will also be contacted via email.  Thanks so much for your participation!
