Winner Mail: Sally Beauty Vintage Glam Giveaway

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings

I'm always excited when I win anything, but I am super excited that I was one of the winners of Sally Beauty's Vintage Glam Giveaway because I won some Finger Paints nail polishes, a brand that I have never tired.

I won three hair products from Sally Beauty's new line called Vintage Glam "a new line of multi-functional hair styling products, each heavenly fragranced and formulated with heat protection properties." I received Curling Iron Cream, Thermal Shine Spray and Thermal Freeze Spray. Also included in the prize pack was Lip Luster lip gloss from Femme Couture in the shade kiss on the sidewalk.

And the items I'm most excited about, Finger Paints Vintage Glam Collection nail polishes! All 6 of the polishes from this collection are so gorgeous and have great names; Vintage Glam, Bombshell, Whatta Dish, She's a Beaut, Dolled Up and Pin Curls & Pouts.

I was super excited to learn that I won Glitz Glam Budget's Chicnova $50 giftcard giveaway! I had never heard of this site before, it's a online fashion retailer for women that offers purses, clothes, accessories and shoes.

When I filled out the entry form I had in mind what I would like to get if I won, but once I found out I won, I went back and was looking at the site again and got something different than what I had picked out before. I have to say I looked at the site for a few days before I made my final decision of what I wanted.

In the end I opted for the Black Oversized Canvas Tote with Embellished Rivets; I really like this bag, the material feels very durable and it has lots of room! Vintage Metal Heart Bracelet; the charms are so much bigger than I thought they would be, I still think it's super cute though. I also got the Vintage Engraved Metal Pendant Necklace; this is probably my favorite thing that I got. I have been looking for a nice turquoise looking necklace and for me this is just perfect! It's a longer necklace and I feel like I can dress it up or down.

Thank you to Glitz Glam Budget and ChicNova! 

If you are like me and have never heard of ChicNova, you should really check it out. I was really surprised at how affordable their bags and jewelry are. They do have some rather expensive bags too. If you have checked out their site, which piece would you like to own?

With the week I've had with all the rain and storms, flooding, loss of phone service and my car not wanting to run right, these winner mail packages have been my little ray of sunshine!

Today I have a prize package from Lizzy over at Lizzy's Place, I won her Reader Appreciation Giveaway! I received 2 sets of the Kiss Nail Dress nail stickers ( I love these!), 1 set of Kiss Nail Artist 3D nail charms, and 1 set of Kiss Nail Artist stickers.

Hubby and I are thinking about taking a trip to the beach in September and these nail dress stickers will be the perfect manicure, no touch ups required :)

Lizzy thank you so much for the prize, can't wait to try out the 3D nail charms, never used anything like them before!

If you have not checked out Lizzy's blog you really should, she posts nail polish swatches with reviews, nail art and other fun posts!

Cooking/baking is another thing I love to do so I just had to share my hot pink cake with y'all! It's a Pink Lemonade cake with hot pink vanilla frosting. Who does not love a good hot pink cake? LOL :)

The weather where I live has been terrible for the last week, it has rained and stormed every single day. We had flooding in the county I live in and it has just been a mess. We got a really bad storm Thursday and lightning ran in on the phone line, so I've been with out a phone and my internet is just hit and miss LOL sometimes it works and sometimes it does not, so when this box came in the mail it was like a little ray of sunshine :)

There is a main highway under all that water

There was a bridge that went across the river there. Not sure if it is still intact or not

On Saturday the rain and storms held off enough for some fireworks!

Thank you Martha for the wonderful prize, I can not wait to start using the products!

Hope you all had a happy and safe 4th!

Over Thanksgiving I entered a contest that KISS was hosting on their Facebook page and I won a 2nd place prize pack!! I was super excited that I had won. So I received my prize pack the other day and was beyond excited about the goodies that I got!

I got a few coupons for KISS products, a brush on lip gloss (which I LOVE because it has menthol in it and I love a minty lip product!), False lashes and adhesive  ever lasting french tip nails, rhinestone nail art, eye liner and mascara!

And to be honest I did not even know that KISS made make up products! I thought they were just nails!!

So thanks so much to KISS! I will be trying out all these products and will be giving you  reviews on them.
