7 Ways to Win a $100 Gift Card From Ulta Beauty and $29.97 in Products From the COVERGIRL Bombshell Collection! (Ends Monday, Jan. 13)

January 3rd, 2014 by Karen 420 Comments

COVERGIRL Bombshell collection and Ulta gift card giveaway
Wearing products from the new COVERGIRL Bombshell Collection

You know how in every group of gal pals, each gal kinda has her own role? You’ve got the mother hen, the braniac, the tomboy, etc.

Me? I usually fall into the role of “the funny one,” or “the weirdo writer.”

I always thought it would’ve been fun to be the one all the boys flocked to, aka “the sexy one,” but alas, seduction was never my forte.

I seriously could not seduce my way out of a paper bag. (Remind me to tell you about the time I dove into the ocean without my glasses or contacts on and swam away from a cute guy…who ended up being El Hub.)

Even though I’m not a seductive siren by nature, I still think it’s fun to role-play, especially with makeup. It’s like stepping into someone else’s shoes for a while or playing a character for a day.

Covergirl Bombshell Collection
A few things from the new Covergirl Bombshell collection…

Characters like “The Bombshell.”

Enter COVERGIRL. This spring, COVERGIRL is channeling bombshell beauty with their vampy new Bombshell collection of cream shadows, liquid liners, mascaras, lipsticks and nail polishes in colors designed to tempt and seduce.

Which brings me to this…

You know what I’m about to say, right? 🙂

    I bet Tabs could teach you how to seduce your way INTO a paper bag, though, if he’s anything like the other kitties I’ve met 😉

    Also you look totally gorgeous in the bright lip color. You may not play a seductress, but you sure can pull off the look well!

    My first makeup product was from Covergirl-one of their powders in a green case. It was super powdery on me but just loved the smell. Also, bought a liquid foundation that totally didn’t match me for my prom. I didn’t wear it of course.

I’m hoping I can fit that in sometime this weekend! Also I’m definitely a nude lip girl, but your latest posts on those gorgeous purple/orchid lips may have persuaded me to go out searching for some bold color!

    I just discovered Ulta – from my 10 year old niece. She was showing me all the finds from her shopping trip and at a trip to the mall a few weeks later, I discovered an Ulta store. I stopped in briefly, but couldn’t really browse as I was rushing to finish Christmas shopping. So excited to check it out now!

    I had a beautiful fossil watch that had hearts with pink rhinestones and clear, and then clear rhinestones around the faces outside. It was my favorite watch but the battery died and the. Some of the stones started to fall out, but I had it five years. Now I really want a Michael Kors runway watch with the big MK symbol on the face…. Probably silver would be worn more but the rose gold is real pretty too. But their so expensive… If I could get one for under $100 I’d be happy but even on ebay they over that…. So I better find a new watch love!

    Ever since Ulta opened a store right next to the Target where I do a lot of my grocery shopping, I’m in there at *least* once a week, sometimes twice or more! All the people who work there are so friendly and helpful. Since I bought the new Vice Palette there, I sometimes go in just to show off my eye shadow look of the day to other people who like to have fun with makeup. Having great people in the store really means a lot.

    Do you wear a watch? If so, tell me about it. Leopardy-tortoise Guess Watch I got @ TJ Maxx with a gift card. It’s one of my favorites. Other ones: a leopard tortoise-shell bangle bracelet that was a free GWP from Ulta years ago. I’ve had that watch repaired several times I love it so. It goes with my animalian wardrobe. And my third favorite watch is a basic, boring, black and silver watch I bought at Overstock.com years ago. It’s so classic and has served me well for years.

    When was the last time you visited an Ulta Beauty store? Right before Christmas to do some shopping for my mother’s gift. Some of her favorite products (Too Faced) and a cute cosmetic bag. I also snagged some cute pink ORLY polish for myself when I was there 😡 Ulta is my fav.
    Do you prefer bright or nude lipsticks? Nude. Sadly my complexion (red hair, fair/neutral skin) makes life difficult when it comes to pulling off bright lipstick. But I still own a bunch and break them out for special occasions.

    I prefer bright lipsticks but I have been reach out of my comfort zone lately and I’m on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick for me. I’m trying high end and drug store but I just haven’t found the perfect nude yet, Japanese Maple from Mac is close but just not it.

    I am definitely all about the brights when it comes to lips. It’s funny because a few years ago I would have never touched lipstick at all. But, now my look doesn’t feel complete to me without it.

    ps that pink shade looks amazing on you

    Covergirl was part of my first makeup kit as a kid! When I was about 9 my oldest sister got sick of my grimy hands in her makeup bag so she got my a little strter kit with Covergirl pressed powder, cheekers blush, and clear mascara. I thought i was the coolest pre-teen around! Now ten years later I have expanded my horizons, but I still make a trip to the Covergirl display every now and then to see what’s new!

    Let me begin by saying this is such a fabulous giveaway! Thank you so much for hosting! I absolutely love Ulta! I thought I would answer one of your suggested questions, the one about bright or nude lipsticks. I prefer nude lipsticks. I’ve always liked to keep things a bit more natural and toned down, but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone and become bolder with some of my makeup choices. I guess I’m in between at the moment. Thank you again for hosting this amazing giveaway! So grateful for the opportunity to get my name in the hat! Love your blog! Lots of love!
