We Have a Winner!

I finally joined the iPhone cult, because Verizon was giving me hell and Sprint would work with me. But the downside is Verizon was a lost faster and I got more coverage with them, but whatever, Sprint was more helpful. ANYWAY I've been having the hardest time learning how to use this damn thing (even though I have an iPad and should know the basics) and syncing it with my computer.

But the giveaway is finally over! I will be emailing the winner or contacting them somehow. I'd rather not announce the winner publicly, just because you know, privacy issues.

But congratulations winner! You will know who you are in just a few moments! Thanks to everyone who entered, I will be doing another giveaway soon!

I love all of you and thank you for your input and entries! Congratulations to the winner, and I will hear from you all soon. Or you will hear from me. 

Update: I heard from the winner, Erika Sorocco, and got permission from her to be mentioned in this post. Congratulations again! 

Favorite Drugstore Product Giveaway

It's giveaway time! I can't do anything too extravagant yet because I'm catching up on bills and whatnot, but I can do a little one.

All you have to do is recommend me your favorite drugstore product out of one of the categories below, and if you win I will buy that product and send you one as well for your prize. If my paycheck allows I might be able to send you a little something extra too! It should be a good prize since you picked it :P

So requirements:
1. Be a public follower on Breakfast at Gracey's
2. Comment ONE of your favorite drugstore products from ONE of these categories:

• dry shampoo for dark hair 
• hair scrunching product
• shampoo/conditioner 
• hair mask or treatment 
• heat protectant spray 

**Edit: I worded the rules strangely. Please pick a specific drugstore product that you like from one of those categories. Sorry I didn't make that clear in the first place. If you have already entered without picking a specific product, I'll still count your entries and just email you what product you would like if you do win. Sorry again! 

Extra Entries:

1. Follow me on Twitter and tweet about the giveaway with your favorite product (make sure to tag @graceyloo252) +1

2. Do a blog post on the product you choose and why you choose it +3

3. Post about it on Google+  +2
4. Like Breakfast at Gracey's on Facebook +2
5. Post on the Breakfast at Gracey's Facebook page a specific drugstore product you enjoy, and make sure to link this giveaway! +3  

***If you participate in my book club I will add +5 automatically for you in my next giveaway!***

If you do any extra entries, make sure you either tag me or put the links in your comment. You can always recommend more than one product if you feel like it, but you still only get 1 entry. 

Also, make sure I can get in touch with you if you win. So if your contact info isn't available on your blog or Twitter or whatever make sure you leave your email address. 

The contest will end on Wednesday, July 16th. Good luck! 

My Beauty Must Have

No matter how much time I have in the morning or how much makeup I decide to wear that day, mascara always makes it into my beauty routine somehow. It's one of those magical products that opens and brightens your eyes, and makes you look more awake.

I know it's not just me thinking that too, because I went to work and forgot to put mascara on and you wouldn't believe how many people asked if I was ok, asked if I was sick, tired, etc. I don't know about you, but the sickly/tired look is not what I generally go for!

I find that drugstore mascaras work just as well as the high end mascaras (with the exception of MAC's Haute & Naughty, my only full size, high-end mascara purchase!). Not saying high end mascaras are bad, I just wouldn't shell out the money for them unless they come with a product I'm already buying.

What are your favorite mascaras? Do you have a beauty must have that you wear everyday?

P.S. Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
