GIVEAWAY 10 - Jouer Anti-Aging Primer

Happy 10th day of my 12 Days of Giveaways! My daughter and I just love this brand. They have the best design, too, because you can customize your own palate. All of their compacts, whether eyeshadow, blush or powder, connect to each other. My favorite for today's Athena's Favorite Things: 12 Days of Giveaways is the fabulous The Anti-Aging Moisture Primer by Jouer Cosmetics.

The Anti-Aging Moisture Primer is hydrating, contains ingredients that restore elasticity and that also diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Both contain Vitamin E, Ginseng & Gingko Biloba extract to calm redness and reduce inflammation. Just apply a pearl size to clean skin prior to makeup application to give dry, dull skin an extra glowing boost. 

This is a great stocking stuffer for anyone! Everything from Jouer is wonderful! Jouer (zhew-ey) means "to play" in French and that describes my daughter and me perfectly when it comes to makeup.

GIVEAWAY 9 - Nespresso Gift Card ($25)

I sure love my coffee. While I do love my Starbucks 2% milk latte, light foam, 1/2 brown sugar packet with cinnamon and cocoa sprinkled on top, my Nespresso machine saves me tons and tons of money, and, I must say, I make a mean latte now.  I really enjoy making my espresso at home every morning. I have this wonderful machine at both houses because I just can’t live without it. The Nespresso Machine is easy to use, their espresso tastes unbelievable and there are many different flavors and strengths to choose from. It's a great Christmas gift for anyone who loves coffee or espresso in the convenience of your own home.

Happy 8th day in my 12 Days of Giveaways! Today I bring you a stocking stuffer for anyone who loves a fabulous eyeliner that will stay in place all day long.

GIVEAWAY 6 - Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess

You know, with all the makeup I have and with all of the makeup I've tried, there really hasn't ever been a bronzer that was made for me. Bronzers are either too yellow or way to red on me. Estee Lauder got it right this time! Their Bronze Goddess (in 02 medium) is just so perfect on so many skin tones. My daughter and I both wear it and we have completely different skin tones & undertones.

This year, my next favorite for Athena's Favorite Things: 12 Days of Giveaways is Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess in 02 medium! It is a great purchase from Sephora or any Estee Lauder makeup counter. It really looks great on everyone, I believe. 

With just one sweep, this smooth, oil-free powder gives the face, shoulders, and décolletage a seductive bronzed look. The formula contains a unique oil-control complex that keeps skin shine-free and comfortable while imparting the perfect golden glow.

GIVEAWAY 5 - The Maybelline Story

If you know me, you know that I love to read and learn, but I absolutely have no time to read. This year one of the very few books I did read was The Maybelline Story. I just couldn't put this book down, and I know you won't be able to either. 

I am so excited to share this amazing book with you and the incredible story of the Maybelline Family. Sharrie Williams is the author of The Maybelline Story. She is the heir to the Maybelline legacy, is Tom Lyle William's great-niece and the granddaughter of Evelyn Boecher Williams. I am so excited to have this beautiful and wonderful masterpiece that Sharrie created. 

The Maybelline story is about a young 19-year-old entrepreneur who rides the ups and downs of life while building a little company called Maybelline. It’s also about his incredible sister-in-law, Evelyn Williams, (Sharrie's grandmother) who is so deeply affected by vanity it leads to ultimate destruction.  In the midst of all the drama she grows up trying to sort out what's real and what has real value.  The book is a rags to riches story with an interesting moral in the end you won't forget.

I can't wait to tell you that two of you have a chance to win a signed copy of this great book! That's right - this giveaway will have 2 winners! Click on this link to enter and find out how you can win!

Winners will be announced the 16th of December! Here is a picture of my daughter and Sharrie Williams taken last week when she picked up the signed copies!

GIVEAWAY 4 - The S'well Bottle

This is a brand new favorite of mine. The amazing and beautiful S'well Bottle is composed of non-leaching and non-toxic 18/8 stainless steel, which keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12, while giving back to those in need. S’well is a charitable community member and proud partner of charitable organizations such as WaterAid, American Forests, and Drink Up.

I love the wide variety of colors and prints these bottles come in. The opening is big enough for ice cubes inside, it's made of the highest quality stainless steel, and it fits in standard-sized cup holders. Another wonderful thing is that your cold drinks will not sweat on the outside - which is just fabulous - especially if you want to throw your S'well bottle in your purse or gym bag!

The S'well Bottle comes in 3 convenient sizes, 9oz, 17oz and 25oz, which are all great for different uses - school lunch boxes, boardroom meetings, workouts and even car travel.

Now, you can win this beautiful red 17oz S'well Bottle from me. Here is my favorite print which is even a bit festive for the holiday season. You don't want to miss this fabulous giveaway! I promise, once you try the S'well bottle you will use it every single day!

GIVEAWAY 3 - Tide Pen To Go

With all of the parties and events happening this month, it's not uncommon for food or wine to end up on our clothes.

It is extremely easy to use and very effective. You should always carry it around with you in your purse or briefcase, and you should have at least one in your office, car and suitcase for traveling. You can purchase it any at drugstore or you can enter to win it right here!  

YOU have a chance to win a 3-pack of the amazing Tide Pen To Go! This is a great stocking stuffer for those messy people in your life... come on - we all know someone who always manages to get something on their shirt during the day! Follow the directions below for your chance to win.

This amazing brush can be used with ALL types of makeup - liquid, cream and compact-cream foundations. It is perfect for spot treating blemishes or redness with your preferred concealer (here is my all time favorite concealer). The soft, synthetic bristles ensure a confident streak-free finish.

GIVEAWAY 1 - Waxelene

I think Elsa from Disney’s Frozen has taken over most of the country because the cold winter is coming! Winter doesn’t only mean chilly temperatures, it also means dryer skin and chapped lips. There are so many products on the market to fix this problem and trust me, I have tried them all. With that said, I have the best solution for you: Waxelene!

The very first thing on my list on "Athena's Favorite Things" is none other than the Waxelene Lip Tube! You have seen my Favorites Fridays post on it and have even heard me talk about it in the office. It made my list of 2013's Best Stocking Stuffers. I have posted about it on social media many times, and my review of their amazing product was chosen to be on their official website. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time!

While my family and I use this product year round, we certainly love it even more during the holidays. Waxelene makes a wonderful stocking stuffer and can be used all over your body, your face, cuticles and lips. Use it for dry chapped skin, eczema, psoriasis, removing makeup, for babies, shaving and even on dried out hair. What I love about Waxelene is that there is no petroleum, it's made of high quality natural plant based oils, it’s eco friendly, it's not sticky, greasy, won’t clog your pores and it goes on clear! I could go on and on about how much we love Waxelene, but you are just going to have to try it for yourself!

Guess what? YOU have a chance to win a Waxelene lip tube! This is a product that I know you will love! Follow the directions below for your chance to win.
