Disney Family helps Moms find their Inner Beauty and Outer Glow! Giveaway!

Raise your hand if you are a Mom who has had time to relax and get a pedicure. Manicure? Facial? Haircut? More than a 5 minute shower?

No one? I completely sympathize! As a Mom of two who also works full time outside the home, I have little to NO time to concentrate on myself. And even if I do find time, my pocketbook doesn’t allow extravagant spa visits. Because Disney Family recognizes that many moms are short on time and cash, they provided tips and advice on easy and inexpensive ways moms can shine.

To help moms find their inner beauty & outer glow, Disney Family.com recently added new beauty-related content to their site in the Makeover Mom section, including how to build a better wardrobe, how to make the most of drugstore makeup (check out the 15 makeup must-haves under $20.10!), how to find the perfect little black dress, and more. They are also hosting a Mom’s Makeover Madness Sweepstakes for a chance to win a glamorous trip to LA for you and a girlfriend!

To spread the word about the new beauty resource, Disney Family.com is offering one Not-So-Blog reader a beauty must-have kit! Included in a Family.com branded makeup tote are a sleep mask, mini manicure set and Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy candle (approximately a $60 value).

Labor of Love Giveaway #5: Butler Bag from AVON

With the birth of my second daughter, I realized that only one thing would get me through the day….ORGANIZATION! If everything was easy to find and at my fingertips, the day ran much smoother which made for a very happy Mommy. For the Labor of Love giveaway #5, I am featuring an item that will help you do just that while pampering the new Mom. The incredible Butler Basics Organizer Bag from AVON will help the new Mom stay organized while showing off her style!

A good friend of mine, Isabella, has been selling AVON products with her husband since 2005 and quickly became a huge success! Her knowledge of the product and fast, friendly customer service has placed her in the Top 100 AVON Representatives every year since 2007.

Because Bella knows the AVON line like the back of her hand, I asked her to share a few of her favorites!

Bella’s Beauty Boosters

Smooth Minerals Lipstick. Enhanced with Shea butter and conditioning oils, has SPF 15, is super gentle and feels just DIVINE on. It goes on so silky smooth and has a nice staying power! Apply one coat for a nice, sheer look. Apply two coats for a more intense color. My favorite is “Rumberry”. Its the perfect shade, not to pink, not too purple, not too red!

Anew Reversalist Night Renewal Cream and Serum - I have them both because they work best together. I’ve been using these now for a month and have noticed that old acne scars are much lighter, it isn’t too heavy for my acne-prone skin AND the two products have made my skin look so fresh and new and simply GLOWING. The exclusive Activinol technology helps to reactivate the skin’s natural repairing process to reverse aging!

Skin So Soft Signature Silk Ultra Moisturizing Body Lotion (whew, that’s a long name!) – LOVE LOVE LOVE this body lotion. Its thick and rich and softly scented. My skin feels like absolute SILK after using this!!
