The post in which I treat myself and treat others (YOU!)

Two days ago I set five goals for myself for the month of March - two of them being to treat myself and to treat others.

Yesterday I attended the Clarins Spring Launch. Twice a year, Clarins debuts new products, and the smart cookies behind the upscale line have caught on to the social media craze, inviting bloggers to learn about the goods. I was invited last Fall and was thrilled to be included in the Spring event. I think I learned more about skin care last night than I have in my entire life. (And I thought I knew a lot!)



Here's the Spring 2010 new product line. Each attendee was sent home with a gift bag filled with each of these, plus a spa gift card to treat myself! I felt like one lucky lady.

Many of you know my rule about gift bags. I'm not allowed to keep it all for myself. Time to treat others!



The winner of this giveaway will get two full-sized, sold-in-stores Clarins products from my gift bag. One is the Delectable Self Tanning Mousse. This product has been absolutely raved about. Of course, I can't let you self-tan without exfoliating first, so the winner will also be receiving the Gentle Peeling smooth away cream.




You'll need a great bag to take to the beach this Summer (or Spring, if you're in a warmer climate than I). I got this adorable tote bag with some goodies inside of it at Saks last weekend. I chose yellow because it's my favorite color. It contains some great coupons, samples, and a full size Lancome lipstick in a pretty pink.



To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner next Monday, March 8. Good luck!

  27. How fun! I hope whomever wins the tanning set will post reviews later -- I decided to give up tanning a while ago after three of my family members had melanomas removed. Talk about scary! Most self tanners I've tried end up being a tas streaky and have a funky after smell. Anybody else get that?
