New Year, New Look With #WalgreensBeauty { And A L'Oréal Giveaway}

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser

I have to say, the glamorous Hollywood red carpet is a treasure trove of beauty and makeup inspiration, makeup tips and DIY makeup tutorials. Although the stars sashaying down there are most likely to be primped and primed by big beauty artists, their looks can easily be translated with right tools and products. The Golden Globes awards last night had a lot of amazing beauty looks that I am planing to try out this new year! I am usually a 3 step makeup person, concealer/powder foundation, eyeliner and lipgloss! But this year I am planning to incorporate bold lips and dramatic eyes in my style. Although I don't have a celebrity make up artist on my speed dial, with the help of the wonderful products from L'Oréal available at Walgreens, this is one resolution that I am most likely to keep!  From bold, dep hues on lips to smokey and shimmering eyes to au naturale clean looks , here are some of the beauty looks I have cataloged to try out this year - straight from LA red carpet at Golden Globes! 

 Walgreens has the beauty products and tools required to achieve these looks on such a great price. With the Balance Rewards membership, you can save even more when you shop for your beauty closet from Walgreens! L'Oréal Colour Riche® lipsticks and lipsglosses, Infallible® 24 HR Eye Shadows, liquid-to-powder makeup and air whipped souffle blushes, Walgreens has everything you need to look your best - truly the one stop beauty destination!

One of the most exciting beauty purchase for me this year has been L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. First off, the brush is really great! It is curved with small bristles that pick up even the smallest of the lashes. The handle is easy to hold and rotate as you apply and the formula itself is very silky and smooth. This mascara gives an instant volume to my lashes and strteches and  lengthens them to give that fake-lash wing effect!

#SelfieExplainsItAll!

I can't wait to play with bronze and gold eye shadows and ruby red lip colors from L'Oréal! They have some great video tutorials and ideas for face, eyes and nails that you can try for updating your beauty routine. One of my favorite tutorials is this super fun and beautiful 'splashed paint' nail art, PERFECT for spring! Can't wait to try this! All the nail colors from this tutorial are available at Walgreens!

If you are in New York on January 15th, don't miss the exciting L'Oréal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara launch event at the Times Square Walgreens and participate in the instant eye make ups, mini makeovers and loads of other fun activities. Mark your calenders!

BTW, one lucky reader of this blog can get a free L'Oréal Voluminous Butterfly mascara bottle! Just follow the rafflecopter direction to experience the 'butterfly effect' yourself!

INKKAS Shoes Kickstarter Campaign And An Amazing Giveaway!

 In a world where fashion is fast, disposable and oftentimes ambiguous in its conscience, it is very difficult to find a balance between style and ethics. So when I first heard about INKKAS, a brand of shoes that has amazingly cool styles and boasts of remarkable trade practices, I got really excited to share it on the blog. Established in 2012, Inkkas is a socially conscious footwear company that sells handmade shoes, handcrafted  from South American textiles. All shoes are made by South american artisans and the brand helps these artisans earn fair wages and improve the quality of their life. In addition to bringing genuine South American shoes to the USA, a portion of all proceeds are donated to local South American communities to help protect the Amazon rainforest and its' native inhabitants.  This video explains the INKKAS story beautifully!

With the vast majority of shoes on the market being mass-produced in factories overseas, Inkkas delivers a quality product that is handmade for each individual order. The quality craftsmanship means that the shoes will last longer and be a great fit.  They have shoes for men, women and kids. I could not be more excited to see the shoes for kids! What better way to teach them about ethical fashion and businesses that give back! 

It is amazing how our kids look up to us, copy us and follows us (well most of the time!). I think teaching them about ethics, values and goodness is one of the most important responsibility we have as parents. I love my role as a mom and a friend in her life!! Can't you see my BFF in the making?:-)

 Inkkas’ styles, colors, and designs are distinctly unique and guaranteed to attract attention. The line includes Aztec, diamond, striped, tribal and zigzag prints in high top and sneaker styles for men, women and kids. I can't get over the bold, bright colors and uber cool styles of Inkkas!

Now even more amazing news! You can win a pair of these cool shoes for yourself or your family members!!  Inkkas are launching their 2014 collection and to celebrate they are giving away a pair of shoes to one of lucky readers of my blog! yay!!

Enter the giveaway below and show off your Inkkas kicks to the world! Good luck!
