Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Kisses Giveaway Contest

Congratulations to Abby, who was selected randomly to be the winner of this Lip Smoothie Kisses set! She's a lucky gal. My thanks to everyone who entered! Check back; we will start another giveaway tonight (May 9)!

Let's do a giveaway contest! This little set of Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Kisses is your "recommended daily dose of lusciousness." Clinique's juicy, moisture-rich, antioxidant-laden lip colors brush on smooth color and shine. You lips will look and feel their healthy best in each of the four shades in the pink floral bag: Nude-tritious, Pink Me Up, Goodness Grapecious, and Mango-thon. Although smaller than the "regular" Lip Smoothies, those in the set are perfectly sized for your handbag - or beach bag. I wrote about this little set in early April when I purchased two - one for me and one for the lucky winner of this contest!

The Vitamin C Lip Smoothies were introduced in the summer of 2009. At the time, I fell in love with them because of their creamy feel and gorgeous colors. They have some staying power, but don't feel at all "clingy." The coverage is sheer to moderate - simply pretty. The Lip Smoothies comes in a tube with a brush at the end. You prime the brush with product by turning the base, allowing you to use only what you need.

I have one Smoothie Kisses set to give away. To enter to win, just leave a comment here once. It's that easy! After you comment, feel free to e-mail bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing your e-mail address on a blog, so I would follow this second step if I were you (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment).

The contest is open to U.S. and Canadian residents. The deadline for entries will be midnight, May 8. The next day, I will use a random number generator to select the winner.

I'll be posting this contest at Free!Grechen, my favorite giveaway site on the Web. You should check it out if you haven't already!

Good Luck!

New Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothies

Clinique makes great lip products, and their newest offering is really nice. A friend invited me to do some "drive-by" makeup shopping at lunch, and I stumbled onto the new Vitamin C Lip Smoothies ($17.50) at Bloomingdales.

Am I glad I did! This lip color is both lipstick and lip gloss in one. Clinique has combined a great brush-on lip color with conditioning and protective ingredients, like Vitamin C and antioxidants.

I am wearing Rhubarbie (07) as I write. It feels very creamy, and the color is gorgeous. It also has some staying power, but doesn't feel at all clingy. The coverage is sheer to moderate. It's simply pretty.

The Lip Smoothie comes in a tube with a brush at the end. You prime the brush with product by turning the base, allowing you to use only what you need.

It's available in eight colors. Now I wish I had purchased more than one!
