Giveaway Break - De Vine Shimmers
Hi there...it's been awhile since I posted a giveaway, please forgive me! I'm returning with a good one!
Premier Health Concepts added a new product line, called De Vine Lip Shimmers. They launched in 2010, and contain the benefits of wine, mixed into beautifully tinted flavored Lip Shimmers.
Red wine grapes contain powerful antioxidants and wonderful anti-aging properties. Their 100% natural shimmer is made with Resteratrol, a powerful antioxidant that has wonderful anti-aging properties, Grape seed Oil, which serves as a natural moisturizer and red wine antioxidants that contain polyphenols which fight free radicals and help prevent cell damage.
I love these little shimmers! The Vanilla Spritzers are good, sheer moisturizers, and the Rose is a pretty frosted pink. I love these types of balms with tint because I think they are easier to apply without a mirror, and still get even color :)
De Vine Shimmers only come in 2-packs and are available at Walgreens and on DevineShimmers.com for $4.99 a pack.
Fill out the form below and 'Like' De Vine Shimmers on Facebook to win! For extra entries, you can sign up for my mailing list, post a link to this giveaway on your blog, follow my blog, follow me and retweet on Twitter , or become a fan on Facebook; just make sure to list the entries in your comment.

NARS Fall 2011 Collection
The Fall 2011 collection is resolutely avant-garde. Daring shots of color are tempered with softer, subtler tones. Eyes range from bright true blue to silvery taupe, dazzling peach and matte dove gray. Lips run the gamut from statement-making matte red to sophisticated plum and sparkling champagne pink. A stormy gray nail color adds a mysterious finishing touch.
The campaign was designed and photographed by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. Italian beauty Mariacarla Boscono was chosen as the face of the campaign because of her sophistication and chameleon-like ability to become the character she is made up to portray.

Crystal Light On the Go packs
If you're up for a healthy challenge, try this: switch out your pop products with Crystal Light On the Go packs! Crystal Light packets are easy to drop in your purse and take anywhere with you to mix with a bottle of water. They are a HEALTHY alternative to grabbing a pop! Ditch the fizz for flavor :)
At only 5 calories a pack, you can get dress up your water and make it delicious. I hate how pop makes me so full feeling and bloated. Not only does Crystal Light make water tasty, but it's hydrating, which is key during the hot summer months. It's definitely a staple in my beach bag this summer.
I tried out the Ice Tea with Lemon last week and loved it. It tasted freshly brewed with just a hint of lemon. I also love the raspberry, very refreshing.
Few tips and fun tricks:
- If you like water with a hint of lemon like me, only use a quarter pack of a lemonade packet in 16 ounces of water. Tastes like a freshly squeezed lemon in your water!
- Freeze the mix in ice cube trays for a summer cool down treat. Freeze in Dixie cups with popsicle sticks in the middle...Popsicles!
- Not necessarily a healthy tip, but you can use these as mixers to make your favorite summer time cocktail :)
