PREVIOUS CONTESTS:

Dove Visibly Smooth and Bath Towel for 5 readers! (Ends July 10)

Congrats to: Evelyn, Jenny, Jessica, Carly, and Eva-Marie!

Dove will give 5 lucky LA Pretty readers their own Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant to try, along with one of their fabulous bath towels! Omg, I got a bath towel from the Roosevelt event and I use it every day. It’s super cute and useful because the top is velcro, so it’s stays put while I’m shaving, putting on tanning lotion, painting my nails, and basically doing all that pain in the ass girly stuff I have to do during the summer. I even included a picture of myself wearing it post-morning shower so that you can see how awesome it is. (Notice my now unused robe hanging there all lonely.) I love this bath towel.

Just send us an email with your name and mailing address to comments@lapretty.com with Dove in the subject line. We’ll pick 5 winners on July 10 and Dove will send each of you Visibly Smooth, plus one of their cute bath towels. Good luck! (US residents only, please.)

AminoGenesis Perfect Reflection Giveaway! (Ends June 25)

Congrats to Jenny Y. from Chicago!

Remember “amino acids” from your 9th grade biology class? Me neither, so here’s a refresher course: amino acids are the building blocks from proteins which in turn makes them the basis for living tissues. Your lovely skin needs amino acids to create important proteins like collagen and elastin.  Unfortunately skin becomes depleted of amino acids through both aging and environmental factors. Putting those valuable amino acids back into the skin is the basis behind the creation of AminoGenesis Skin Care.

All products in the line are amino acid-based; their amino acids are made from plant sources and are purified before being blended to match the same amino acid composition in collagen. Replenishing your skin’s supply of amino acids will give it the tools necessary to repair itself on a daily basis – check out the before and after images on AminoGenesis’ website for more illustration. Their newest product is an anti-aging serum called Perfect Reflection which utilizes ingredients like Vitamins A, C, and D, along with 17 plant-derived amino acids.  Perfect Reflection provides skin with much-needed nutrients along with rapidly moisturizing it for a more dewy, youthful appearance.

And now one reader will have the chance to win a bottle of Perfect Reflection to try out (a $69 value!). Just send an email to comments@lapretty.com with your name and mailing address in the body and Perfect Reflection in the subject line. We’ll pick a winner at random on June 25 and AminoGenesis will send you a bottle for free. Please leave a comment on this post after you try it and let us know what you think!

Good luck! (US residents only please.)

• Arcona Travel Kit and Eco-Beautiful Book (Ends June 16)

Congrats to Charlene K. from VA!

Upon the close of my Arcona experience I was literally glowing and smelled good, as their products carry delicious scents. Debbie carefully tailored a skin care routine for me that she both explained and charted out. Arcona believes in the customized basic five skincare regimen. These pivotal five products combined speed up the skin’s renewal cycle from 30 to 7 days. As a result, surface layers of dead skin are continuously dissolving, so that the Dermis (deepest layer of skin tissue), becomes highly stimulated and the production of collagen and elastin is greatly increased. That leaves users looking fresh and glowing without having to apply makeup. Lets just say I’ve cleaned off my bathroom counter and set aside all those other beauty brands to make Arcona a top priority. I’ve been on the wagon a few days now and am noticing brighter skin, as the products are very light, but powerful. Arcona is undoubtedly the place to get that perfect facial and since there’s tons of shops in Santa Monica those perfect jeans aren’t far behind either.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Now you too can make Arcona and green beauty a top priority! We’re giving away one their Basic Five Travel Kits along with a copy of the book Eco-Beautiful by Lina Hason. Send a email to Comments@LAPretty.com with your name and full mailing address. Put Arcona in the subject and be sure to let us know which travel kit will best suit your skin type! You’ll have zero excuse not to green your beauty routine with the aide of Eco-Beautiful and Arcona!

• Redken Real Control Overnight Treat (Ends June 11)

And the winners are Alexandra S. in Murietta, GA and Aisha O. in Edina, MN!

Redken Real Control Overnight Treat is great for dry or sensitized hair, especially hair that’s been overly exposed to damaging chemicals, pollution, and that’s been color-treated. Because you’re leaving it on overnight, your hair will have more of a chance to absorb the product, and get more of its benefits. Plus, and this is interesting, the heat of the head against the pillow flattens the hair, allowing for the de-frizzing action of the product to really sink in. You can use it on damp or dry hair, and its recommended that you put it on a few hours before going to bed. And no worries about making a mess on your pillow: the lightweight formula absorbs instantly. When you wake up, you can either rinse it out instantly, or leave it in for even more conditioning and control.

Interested in trying it out? We have a couple bottles for two readers to win! Send an email with your name, address and “Redken” in the subject line to comments@lapretty.com. We’ll announce two winners on June 11.

• Glowelle 7 Day Powder Kit (Ends June 4)

And the winners are Autumn H. in Tooele, UT and Stephani P. in Pico Rivera, CA!

Two lucky LA Pretty readers will get to try Glowelle for themselves! We have two 7 day powder stick pack kits that also come with a limited edition Glowelle clutch (so that you can carry your powder packs in style).  To enter, send an email with your name, address, and with Glowelle in the subject line tocomments@lapretty.com.

• Fruits & Passion Pedicure Set Giveaway (Ends May 28)

And the winner is Iris W. in Clovis, CA!

Ge ready ladies, it’s Memorial Day Weekend and I can’t wait to bust out my short shorts and flip flops. But to be quite honest, my feet are looking a bit worse for the wear. So now’s as good a time as any to give myself an at-home foot treatment. I found a great, affordable love-your-feet pedicure set online from Canadian company Fruits & Passion Laboratories.

• Givenchy Mister Bright Touch of Light Pen Giveaway (Ends May 20)

And the winner is Natalie U. in Vista, CA!

We’re giving away a Mister Bright Touch of Light Pen from the collection to one lucky lady.

We’ll announce a winner on Wednesday, May 20. (US residents only please.)

• Pants are so 2008! (short shorts giveaway) (Ends May 12)

And the winner is Farrah E. of Granada Hills, CA!

Along with mini-dresses, it is strongly encouraged that you put on a pair of short shorts and let yourself be liberated by the feeling of being half naked. Most women have an anti-shorts stance, as it can be quite trying to find a perfect few pairs. We encourage you to move on from those feelings and revisit the idea of shorts or further more short shorts.

We think the Solaris Short from lucy activewear will keep you looking and feeling cool this summer. They have a drawstring and are made of stretchy cotton in order to give the perfect fit.

Contest:

We wanted to share the no pants love so we’re giving away one pair in a size small to one of our LA Pretty readers ($48.00 value)!

To Enter:

Email your name and mailing address to comments@lapretty.com with short shorts in the subject line. Contest ends Tuesday May 12th at noon PST. Winners will be chosen and random. US residents only please.

Good Luck!
