Unilever Giveaway

by holly on October 29, 2009


Have you noticed our Beauty of the Day widget? It’s located near the bottom of the page in the left sidebar. It’s got some great tips.

One of my favorite tips from the widget is to use Vaseline to care for your cuticles. Just massage a dab onto each cuticle before bed every night to keep them from getting dry. Use a q-tip for less mess.

I work part time in an infant care center and wash my hands about a million times a day. Combined with the cold weather, it really makes my hands and cuticles dry. A few times a week I wear some silicone lined gloves after slathering my cuticles with vaseline and hands with a heavy moisturizer to keep them moisturized. Drinking lots of water also helps!

Another beauty tip that I picked up a few years ago is adding baking soda to your cleanser to turn it into a mild exfoliant. Who would have thought?! It actually works quite well and it’s gentle enough for daily use and super cheap to boot!

Pictured are Ponds Wet Cleansing Towelettes which I have been using nightly to remove my make up. I love having something quick and handy when I am tired at the end of the day and these do a nice job.

Unilever, the parent company of brands such as Dove, Ponds and Vaseline have put together a package of their beauty products to give to one lucky reader. Mindy and I each received similar boxes and they are filled with great (and useful) stuff! The winner of this giveaway will be able to enter the UPC codes from the Dove products on Facebook to donate $1 to the Dove Self Esteem Fund. You can help too! Check out this post. Enter to win this Unilever prize package by filling out the form below. Also be sure to check out all of our other giveaways here.

my beauty tip is to apply your moisturizer while your skin is still damp after a shower, it helps lock the moisture in

Remove your makeup before bed! Seriously, it kills your skin to leave it on!

I use baking soda on my skin. It keeps my skin clear and very clean!

I use a gentle product (Dove towelettes) to wash my face before bed, but in the morning I just rinse with warm water before using moisturizer.

For a boost of shine I always blast my hair with the cold shot button on my hair dryer.

If you have a favorite lip stick or even one that is too dark ~

Take a tiny amount & put in a zip lock bag, then squeeze in some vaseline or other similar product (those tubes that are around $1)

Mix up in the bag, cut at the corner (like frosting) & squeeze into a clean compact. Broken eye shadow ones work great.

You have a super cheap lip gloss now!

Vaseline on your eyelash curler gives you amazing lashes (wash thoroughly after each use).

My beauty tip is to ALWAYS wear sunscreen when outdoors. The sun can really damage your skin even if you use the best skin care. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

Mix equal parts olive oil and granulated sugar to make a facial scrub. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com

My tip is to use lotion when you have frizzy hair and dont have any hair products around. Just a bit to tame spilt ends or flyaways.
