queen-by-queen-latifah

10 Days of Giveaways keeps chugging along with today’s celebrity fragrance, a tribute to one of my favorite celebs, the very talented Queen Latifah. 🙂 She raps, acts, sings and brought to market a lovely fragrance fit for — you guessed it — a queen.

The prize

One lucky lady will take home a bottle of Queen by Queen Latifah (a $59 value).

With notes of Italian bergamot, mandarin, rose, jasmine and sandalwood, it almost makes me feel like royalty.

How to enter…

2ways2enterEntering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post — a comment about anything at all. 🙂

Speaking of Queen Latifah, I’m bumping Ladies First in iTunes right now.

Follow me
Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:

RT @karenmbb: RT to Win Queen by Queen Latifah http://bit.ly/4rMdRt

Recap…

  1. Enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, and don’t forget to use a valid email address so I can reach you if you win.
  2. Follow me on Twitter and retweet the following message:

    RT @karenmbb: RT to Win Queen by Queen Latifah http://bit.ly/4rMdRt

Успех!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Would love to win this! The bottle is so cute!

    P.S. Karen: I have had an amazing love affair with navy blue nail polish recently, but not as great a time getting it off my nails. Do you recommend a nail polish remover that works well with darker nail polish?

    I think the bottle is adorable too! And bergamot is my favorite!
    On a totally unrelated note, I parted my hair on the other side yesterday- and it was AWESOME in a totally unexpected way.

    P.S. I’m with Sarah, I’d love any tips on getting dark polish to come off!

    Hi Karen:
    Like your blog very much!
    Question 1: What are some safe(not too strong and anoying or offensive) fragrences that 99% of women will like? I have only 4 fragrances that I like, Knowing(esteelauder),Eternity(calvin.K),Jadore, Passion dance for women By Avon discontinues but this is my favorites of all(love to get a subsitute but don’t know how and where?
    Question 2: Are high heels safe for Knees in the long run(I am short and little over weight, I look better with heels)?
    Question3: Which part of body should we put perfume on, and also is it safe to put perfume on your skin/body or it should only be applied to cloths?

    Thanks so much!

    I have been watching the Queen Latifha Show sense she started. I love to receive Free Stuff and I love to enter any Sweepstakes to receive things. I would like to Win Queen Litefhs’s Fragence Cologne if at all possible. I am a Identical Twin to a girl, and I live in Milwaukee, and she lives in Chicago. We are approaching age 67 this year. I on the other hand is Retired, and she still works. I take of my Significant Other who unfortunately had a Stroke in 2010, and I take care of him. It’s been 4 Years now, and I just want a little Special something for Myself, to maybe smell good after a day’s work taking care of him, when I wind down for the day, or when we have to go out for Doctor’s appointments. That way I can feel very special and smell good too.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a.
