Two Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora!

August 6th, 2011 by Karen 598 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Kristy! Congratulations, Kristy! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

Win a $50 Sephora eGift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog
One of the most valuable things I’ll take away from my time here at BlogHer is a motivational trick I actually learned at the San Francisco International Airport on the way here. It’s a great way to get yourself to do things you might otherwise not want to do. In my case, they might be things like getting up early on a Saturday morning, going for a run, doing laundry, vacuuming the stairs or cleaning the kitchen.

In practice, it works a little something like this: “If I get out of bed by 6:30 this morning, I can have a Pink Berry.” Or, another variation, equally effective: “If I clean the toilet today, I can have a Pink Berry tonight.”

It’s surprisingly effective. 🙂

Rise and shine, morning glory! It’s going to be a beautiful day. I’ll be over at the conference hall for most of it, but I hope to be able to walk around in the sunshine later this afternoon before the sun sets. I told myself that if I pay attention in class today, I can have a Pink Berry this afternoon…

I hope your workweek ended on a good note; let’s make sure your weekend starts on one.

I think you know what that means…

Every single time I go there, there has to be something- most of the time it’s bra tops (Absolute love), but sometimes it’s a jacket, well-cut jeans leggings (That is really sewn like jeans and not printed on) or jeans trousers, dresses (Love my Uniqlo X Zechia dress) and today, a printed maxi skirt.

I’ve also been a volunteer at conferences too, that’s a easier on the nerves but the T-shirts are usually eye-searingly ugly so attendees can pick you out from a mile away. Think neon green or high-lighter yellow. Yeah. I still have the shirts kicking around for wearing on laundry days. 😉

    Bring less makeup/beauty products than you think you’ll need. Trust me, you won’t use them as much as you think that you will. (This advice always works for me, anyway.)

    I prefer unflavored lip glosses–I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with the flavored variety haha. But I use the same little “motivational trick” too. It’s generally along the lines of: If I run, I’ll get that better behind 😀

    I think similarly to the way you do. I motivate myself to exercise in the morning by allowing myself to eat after I doi it….nothing special like Pinkberry….just breakfast. No, exercise, no breakfast. It’s very effective!

    Hi all! Since this is a “Sephora” contest Iwant to tell you about my 2 favourite products from Sephora. First is a lipstick that I am not leaving the house with it on my lips: Sephora Lip Attitude – Glamour, a hydrating, semi-sheer lipstick. It’s long lasting and offers moisture for an incredible long period. Moreover, the smell is fruitty…which might be a problem for those who eat their lipstick because it smells too nice. From this I ave right now: Pink Caress 05 ,Tender Rose 04 , Sentimental Rose 10 and my favourite color: Mauve Emotion 09. It’s my fav color because it suits to my complexion. Cold, mauvish colors suit best my skin color. Second product is the sephora Mineral loose powder foundation that is fabulous! It doesn’t have parfum, parabens, no allergene and is non comedogenic. It even has hydrating ingredients. Which I consider very important. For the price I paidon it , it rocks! Looks so natural and light and covers perfectly!

    Best travel beauty tip? being a person who haaates traveling with lot of baggage I always carry one suitcase and a crossed handbag, I would say my best tip would be travel wipes and compact make up, I have oily skin so this is the only way to control shine plus you can use the wipes for everything!

    I´ve only attended conferences about child sexual abuse, mainly because I work with adult survivors as a, as I like to call it, “guider”. guiding them through their healing process. I´m not a professional counselor but I use my own experience with child sexual abuse and my healing journey to help others. It´s the most rewarding “job” I´ve ever had. I love going to conferences, learning more so that I can be better at my job and also meeting people that work in the same field.

    My travel tip is to find a store (ex: Target) and get a little clear travel bottle set, it’s great to fill/pack your favorites & everyday beauty items (shampoo, lotion, moisturizer, etc.). The sizes of the little containers usually meet the airline guidelines/restrictions, and that way you can bring all the things you love to use most, and all products are visible to know what is what!

    Today I went to a birthday party for a family friend whom I am no longer that close with and I felt so awkward cause I hadn’t seen everyone in so long. I was out of my comfort zone cause my family was sitting at a different table from me so I didn’t really have anyone to talk to. It was kind of uncomfortable at the beginning but soon things got a lot better and I left at the end of the night laughing and pretty much had a good time! Sometimes it’s good to be out of your comfort zone lol. Especially when I got reaquainted with one of my close girl friends from a while back and discovered that she’s an avid makeup collector as well 😀

    Here’s a great airplane travel beauty tip: Buf-Puf singles! I love them and use them all the time, but they are perfect for travel since they are basically a little sponge (great for scrubbing off airport grime or sightseeing sweat!) and are covered with a very mild soap, activated in water, so it doesn’t count as a liquid! Bonus:Put them in a baggie, squash them flat and seal it- they take up practically no room and are light as a feather!

    Harry Potter was a fun highlight for the summer. I will miss no longer having a HP movie to look forward to.

    My beauty tip for traveling is to have a great powder to freshen my face before I land a good gloss to look fresh when I arrive to my destination!

    I had to get a root canal done 2 weeks ago and I got sick at the same time. It is two weeks later and I am still sick and the worst part is that the temporary crown I got put in keeps cutting my tongue. Have to feel better soon because kids start school in 3 weeks and I have to finish back to school shopping!!!!!

    You know, I’ve yet to find a flavored lip gloss that I can handle the taste of, but that’s probably for the better because then I would want to lick it all off, heehee :-).

    Pink Berry is certainly a great motivator. Yummy.

    I wanted to go to a journalism conference, but I couldn’t take the time off to do that and go see my mom. Eh, it was a good trade-off.

    I gotta try your reward system to get motivated! My beauty travel tip is to ask for sample sizes of your favorite beauty product, especially skin care, when you purchase them. That way, when you travel you can just take the sample packs instead of a whole bottle/jar, or go through the hassle of bottling them in separate containers.

    I just ate an enormous amount of almonds. I’m talking biblical proportions.

    The only conferences I’ve been to academic ones, haha. I like my lipgloss flavors fruity without being overly sweet or floral.

    I’ve had two highlights this summer and they’ve been big ones! First I finally got around to getting my drivers license after putting it off for wayyyy too long! And second I got my first real job at P.F. Chang’s! It’s totally amazing to have freedom and money:)
