As a person that spends way too much money at Sephora, I have earned well over 500 points and decided to trade them in for this lovely set of three full sized Sephora by OPI nail polishes.  This set includes Personal Shopper (rich vixen red), Dear Diary (warm light pink), and I’m with Brad (shimmering wine over dark coffee).  I received them just in time for Valentine’s Day as they are the perfect set of reds and pinks.  I’m thinking of putting Personal Shopper on my toes and Dear Diary on my fingers for the big day.  And when I get a few days off from work, I’m definitely going to rock I’m with Brad as it’s probably my favorite one of the three.

I went ahead and quickly swatched them for you so please keep in mind that it was a rush job just so I could present the colors and not how I would normally do my nails.  I did pass kindergarden and am able to color within the lines!

Pretty right!?!  And for those of you who are already Sephora Beauty Insiders but are looking for something more, just spend $350 in the calendar year and automatically get upgraded to a VIB (Very Important Beauty Insider) which is the premium level for extra benefits.  Find out more at Sephora.com.

Until next time hunnies…  xoxo

First Place

Debbie C

FEED Projects

Why BCB chose this winner: Not only does FEED Projects make eco-friendly and fair products that raise funds for their organization, it has fed over 100 million starving children in almost 90 countries. With their charity, they have provided food in schools all over the world to stop hunger as well as end the poverty cycle. By providing food to children in these schools that don’t have the necessary funds, they have greatly improved the attendance and performance rates of these young children. It is such an amazing charity that has definitely touched my heart just by doing research on it. And how awesome is it that it was co-founded by a beautiful fashion model!?! I cannot wait to find ways for BCB to contribute to FEED Projects. Thank you, Debbie!

Second Place

Katie C

Keep America Beautiful

Why BCB chose this winner: Just read the following quote from their website and you will understand why a blog like Big City Beauty would love to be affiliated with Keep America Beautiful… “Our organization’s mission revolves around a core belief that beauty is a silent but powerful force that makes communities safer, healthier and more livable. “Beauty” is in our name, it’s the result of everything we do and it’s what our organization is all about – citizens, government and businesses uniting to create better communities and contributing to a more beautiful world. We know that when a community and its residents unite with beautification as a common purpose, transformations occur not only in the physical surroundings, but in the hearts and minds of everyone involved.”

Third Place

Courtney

Environmental Working Group

Why BCB chose this winner: EWG is an organization that uses the power of public information to protect public health and the environment. Through their research they have developed Skin Deep, a useful tool that consumers like myself use often, to provide a safety guide for cosmetics and personal care products. In addition to Skin Deep, they have created the Shopper’s Guide to Safe Cosmetics all while continually campaigning for national policy changes that will end the damage done to our environment and natural resources. It’s an organization with lots of information that any beauty buyer should take advantage of.

And there they are! Thank you again to everyone that participated and stay tuned for another giveaway coming up soon on BCB!!!

Until next time everybody… xoxo
