QUESTION: Do blondes really have more fun?

ANSWER: They do on Tuesdays. 🙂

The good people at Redken sent me these two bottles of their Blonde Glam Color Enhancer (a color-depositing conditioning treatment for blondes) to review, but since flaxen locks aren’t in the cards for me, I need to find them a loving home.

How about a giveaway?

The prize

One lucky lady will take home two bottles of Redken Blonde Glam Color Enhancer (a $28 value): Redken Blonde Glam Color Enhancer in Perfect Platinum (for pale to light blonde hair) and Redken Blonde Glam Color Enhancer in Rich Vanilla (for warm blonde hair).

How to enter…

Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post — a comment about anything at all. Describe those shoes you’re wearing, what the weather’s like, the name of your favorite TV show, or the one movie you can watch over and over again. 🙂

Even though I can recite the dialogue in each one from memory, I never get tired of The Sound of Music, The Wedding Singer or Dirty Dancing (PS, I’ll miss you).

Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:

Recap…

1. Enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, and don’t forget to use a valid email address so I can reach you if you win.
2. Follow me on Twitter and retweet the following message:

Boa Sorte!

1. Mood:

A little sleepy. The caffeine still hasn’t kicked in yet!

2. Are you having a good hair day?

I’ve had worse. It’s been raining, which makes the mane take on a poofy and unruly life of its own.

3. Ever had a job with a uniform? What did it look like?

Yup, a navy blue polo shirt and khaki pants.

4. What book are you reading right now?

Student’s Vegetarian Cookbook, by Carole Raymond. I like reading cookbooks before bed. Weird, I know.

5. Eyes/lips/cheeks:

Nothing yet, but I’m thinking of trying my hand at this teal and brown eye with a red lip from the Agent Provocateur show at New York Fashion Week.

6. What’s for breakfast?

Waffles with (yup, you guessed it) Nutella.

7. Have you dated someone shorter than you?

Nope. I’m pretty tiny (5 feet 3 inches *with* heels), so somebody shorter than me would have to be extremely “vertically challenged.”

8. Guys who wear big, bold rings: hot or not?

Hmm, I’m not into the man jewelry. Not!

9. Outfit:

Jeans, black scoop neck tee, purple pearl necklace and black heels.

10. Weekly goals:

Go to dance class on Wednesday, start packing, make all my writing deadlines.

Happy Monday, gals! 🙂

I went to bed early last night to catch up on my zzz’s, so I missed all the drama that went down at the VMAs. What the heck was Kanye thinking? So not cool, K. West.

Anyway, all obnoxious public outbursts aside, I hope your day is off to a good start. When you get the chance to take a break, spend a few minutes filling out the Monday Poll. Copy the empty list down below here and paste it with your answers in the comments. Talk to you soon!

MY BEST:

Playing with some goodies from NARS and falling hard for the Kalahari Eyeshadow Duo, Orgasm/Laguna Duo and Powder Foundation SPF 12 in Sahara (LOVE! Review coming soon). Oh, the fine textures and rich color payoff … NARS is the bomb-diggit-haaaaay!

MY WORST:

While I was giving myself a pedicure last week I discovered a few random hairs on the tops of each foot. I was kickin’ it hobbit-style, yo! 🙂 There were only like five or six hairs — all short and soft — but still. Does this mean I have to start shaving my feet??

What were your best and worst beauty experiences of the week? Do tell in the comments.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Are you ready for the True Blood season finale tonight? It’s the last new one for months! I feel like I should be doing something special for he occasion. Maybe I’ll open a bottle of wine…
