BEAUTIFUL GIVEAWAY: tarte Eco-Tote And Lip Sheers

By Gift Gal April 14, 2009 12:01 pm

Earth Day is April 22, and you know how much we love all things free and eco! And since we’re so good to Mother Earth, we wanted to spread the love to our beautiful readers!

We’re giving away one “be good to your mother (earth)” reusable bag and lip sheers set from tarte cosmetics. The three 24/7 Lip Sheers, appropriately named “reduce,” “reuse,” and “recycle,” are packaged in post-consumer recycled aluminum and packed with SPF15 and come in a foldable, reusable purple tote with gold strap.  Gift Gal has a set, and not only do the sheers look great on every skin tone (she shared them with her friends!), but the bag is cute and sturdy enough to carry groceries, gym clothes, or random items.

The limited-edition set runs for $35 and are available at Sephora and other boutiques everywhere.

Want one for free? Just do the following:

  1. Leave a comment in the comments section telling us what your favorite homemade beauty recipe is
  2. Check back at the beginning of next week to see who our lucky winner is
  3. Enter next week’s giveaway and win something for yourself or someone you love!

GOOD LUCK!

    *Mix together and massage into feet. Rinse. Pat dry.

    For a quick pimple removal: Egg whit and salt mixed into a paste dabb on pimple and this evaporates the pimple as soon as the mixture drys.

    Take raw shea, a secret ingredient, and cocoa butter and melt down, set in refridgerator and this compound clears up eczemia and severe dry skin.

    My favorite homemade beauty recipe is for a sugar scrub. I use it for my face to exfoliate, but it works on the whole body.

    Brown Sugar Scrub:

    1 cup of Brown Sugar
    1/2 cup of olive oil
    1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons of liquid vitamin E (optional)

    It smells great and it makes your skin feel fresh and baby smooth.

    This recipe can be used as a body butter AND a hair moisturizer!

    7oz unrefined Shea butter
    4oz Aloe Vera Gelly (Clear, Fruit of the Earth brand from Target)
    3oz Coconut Oil
    2oz oil of your choice
    OPTIONAL: Drops of your fave EOs if you don’t use a strong flavor oil

    First, melt the Shea butter in a glass bowl set in boiling water. Soften coconut oil in the microwave (not all the way to liquid) then mix in a glass bowl with the Aloe gel and Banana oil with a wire whisk. When Shea butter fully melts, pour it in the Aloe/oil mix. Beat with mixer on medium speed for about two minutes. Then pour into an empty plastic container that has an air tight lid. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to solidify.
