this week’s giveaway: elizabethW

posted in beauty, giveaway |

we’re a day late on this week’s giveaway, but trust me when i tell you it was worth the wait! this week, the fantastic owners of elizabethW would like one of you to have a full-size bottle of their eau de parfum in my favorite fragrance, sweet tea! i have to admit – this one is taking some discipline to give away, rather than keep for myself.

you know i love just about everything over at elizabethW, but sweet tea is a hands-down favorite in my perfume drawer. the scent is so mellow and familiar, but has just enough going on to keep it really interesting. it stays delicate because of the honey and lemon notes, but then that earthy black tea scent comes in and keeps it from being too precious. it’s a hard scent to explain, but i’ve never met anyone that didn’t love it.

so, to enter, comment below! we’ll draw a winner on friday, and you’ll have to email me by monday with your address – easy peasy.

and just to keep things interesting, i’m going to let everyone earn an extra entry this week by trying out one of the super cool new features on the site (bribery is the ultimate encouragement)! if you like it, maybe we’ll make it a permanent bonus feature for your bonus entry:

pick your favorite post on shoppingsmycardio – it can be this contest, of course, but any post will do.
use that little purple heart at the bottom of the post (it says “share it” next to the heart) to send it out into the ether somewhere: digg it, stumble it, facebook it…any of the options you see there.
then, come back and comment to tell me what you sent out there and where you sent it!

presto, bonus entry! just trying to share the love far and wide good luck, everyone!!

I’ve been a lurker for awhile and this giveaway “spoke” to me. I love fragrances but haven’t had the time to pick a nice new scent recently. Your description makes it sound lovely, and something right up my alley.

I took this “assignment” as an excuse to post about your blog to my Facebook page, inviting my friends to see why I laugh in their faces when they accuse me of being into fashion. Hopefully they will come check out the guru.
