Sorry for the lack of posts (an update) - plus: GIVEAWAY ALERT!!!

Hello, Beautiful!

Sorry for a complete lack of posts in recent weeks. Work life has been hectic and it's been hard to keep up. My priorities have been my son, my work and my great dane. Even though I come home at night (sometimes as late as 7:30pm) with all the intentions in the world of taking care of the blog, it seems I cannot find the energy to do so. I am either busy with my son, cleaning, laundry, cooking, or just so exhausted I'm laying down to bed by 8pm.

This week should be a turning point, however, in my schedule. And I'm hoping I can begin to find more time for blogging again. Especially because I have some awesome reviews coming up from Brilliant Smile, PUR Minerals, Biore, Charlotte Tilbury, Masque Bar, Emjoi and more!

Please stick with me and I'll be back to regular posts in no time :)

So now about the giveaway...

I'm running an Instagram giveaway for my work, Valley Green Naturals. I just started up their new Instagram page and I'm looking for followers. If you could, take a moment and follow @ValleyGreenNaturals

There is currently a giveaway on there to win ANY product you want from their website - plus, you'll receive a custom soap you can't find anywhere else but at our shop in Sperryville, VA!

All the details on how to enter on the Instagram page! Good luck!

xoxo with love & beauty,
Crystal Valentine

Blog Sale Update & IG Giveaway Winner Announcement!

Hello, Beautiful!

Thank you to everyone who placed a blog sale order over the past week. Everyone's orders thus far have been shipped out and are on their way to you! Enjoy!!

For anyone wanting to place an order, the blog sale pages are all up to date as far as what products are sold and any pending items (pending = meaning someone is currently ordering them, just waiting on their payment). Just click on the link below or click on the Blog Sale tab above!

http://xoxovalentinekissesxoxo.blogspot.com/p/blog-sale.html 

Please: If you email me to order be ready to make your payment. I've had three people, two of which had very large orders, stop communication completely and just fall through -- and those items were ones other wanted and I had to turn others down because I had items being held for people who didn't follow through. Don't get me wrong, I understand changing your mind but I don't understand just not replying at all. It's situations like these that make me have to have stricter rules and time lines for making payment. Sigh. Oh well - thank you again to everyone who did keep communication and followed through. I greatly appreciate it!


Now onto my most recent giveaway - which was held exclusively on my Instagram! The winner was announced yesterday evening on my Instagram and I've already DM'd the winner and received her contact information so I can ship out her prize. The winner is:

@makeup_looks_and_reviews

Congratulations!!!!

If you didn't win, don't worry - I have more giveaways in the works so stay tuned!! :)

For now though, back to working on some awesome blog posts coming up this week! Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Instagram Giveaway!! Ends September 7, 2014

Hello, Beautiful!

As a thank you for all the Instagram followers I already have, and to new followers that will join, I've put together a giveaway! This giveaway is open to everyone!

Head over to my Instagram to enter. This page is just to show the prize, list all the items in the prize (since Instagram doesn't leave much space to list this many details), and lists the giveaway rules. Good luck everyone!

My Instagram is: http://instagram.com/valentinekissesbeauty

Giveaway Rules & Details:

• Open to my Instagram followers - current followers & new followers!
• No contest/giveaway only accounts!
• If you're under 18 you must have your parent's permission to enter.

• There are loads of scams out there where scammers trick you into thinking you've won someone's giveaway. Although I've yet to have this happen to anyone from one of my giveaways (and I find it happens more on YouTube), I just want to put his warning here just in case. I will never ask you to click a link to fill out a form/take a survey in order to claim your prize, or have you pay for shipping, or anything else that just doesn't seem right.

GIVEAWAY: Win 2 Travel-Sized Sexy Hair Products - USA Only - Ends 07.07.13 - Two Winners!

Hello, Beautiful!

I will have several giveaways in the month of July! Most of these will be smaller ones and some will only be for those in the USA. Some giveaways will only run for one week, while others will be the standard 2 weeks I usually run them for.

I recently picked up a few travel-sized bottles of some Sexy Hair products from Ulta during their sale and picked up some extras to giveaway. I have two sets to giveaway, and right now I can only open this giveaway to USA readers (sorry international ladies). This will be a quick giveaway, so enter now because it only runs for a week. Another quick giveaway coming up when this one ends!

One of the products is the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner - which I've been loving to use to help detangle my hair. The other product is the Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray - which has been a favorite of mine.

Two lucky winner will each receive:

(newly selected) Winner of my Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Giveaway!

Hello, Beautiful!

Thank you to everyone who entered my Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Giveaway!

Unfortunately, yesterday I did choose a winner but the winner was not in the USA - which was part of the rules (listed in the giveaway rules, in giveaway blog title post, and on the giveaway photo). That was one of the rules Be A Bombshell Cosmetics wanted me to stick by since they only ship to those in the USA and are understandably so trying to gain more customers.

Because of that, I had to choose a new winner...

And the new winner is...

Congratulations to....

Robin A.

The winner was chosen via random.org and has been sent an email with a date to reply by. If they do not reply by the set date a new winner will be selected.

Congratulations again to the winner!

Stay tuned for more giveaways! :)
