How You Can Win A Full Body Beauty, Fashion and Health Makeover For FREE
Life flies by when you’re a mom (and sometimes we need a style upgrade)…
* Breakdown of the Month: FREE MAKEOVERS!
What would you do for the chance to get a beauty, fashion, fitness and nutrition makeover? Since the start of Makeover Momma, I’ve received so many emails from stressed out, tired and overworked moms, begging me for makeover advice. Some of the women can’t seem to shake those last post-partum pounds, while others are dealing with irritated complexions or an outdated hair style. This is what gave me the inspiration for a unique, one-of-a-kind experience this summer that I can’t wait to share!
Win A FREE Makeover: Become a Makeover Momma of the Month
I’m picking 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month, and you could be 1 of them! Just do the following…

* The Complexion Makeover: L’oreal Paris
You don’t need another reason to love L’oreal Paris (at least I know I don’t), but they’re still giving you a new one. They’re spoiling all three Makeover Mommas with amazing makeup products from their fresh summer line. If you want clear looking skin this year but are never sure which shade to choose, the folks at L’oreal will personally recommend the right color for your skin tone (and send all the goodies you need to get clear, smooth looking skin). It’s the next best thing to having someone photoshop your complexion every day, except in this case it’s easy to use, it’s perfectly suited to your face and takes mere minutes to apply. You’ll never look back on your old foundation (trust me!)

* The Makeup Makeover: Avon Jillian Dempsey Color Corrector Palette and Professional Eye Smokifier
No one understands stressed out, busy, budgeted moms more than Avon. They have affordable products, multi-tasking alternatives and easy-to-use-options that make my heart go “pitter patter”. But despite my perpetual Avon crush, you will fall madly in love with Jillian Dempsey’s top selling items (even if you’re already in love with her adorable husband). They are perfect for creating that sexy, bold smoky eye that you’ve always wanted, but have never been able to perfect (no sleepless nights with a toddler needed!) I’ve always been amazed at the power of a perfectly perfected, expertly administered smoky eye: your face will pop and you’ll wonder why you never took the time to do this before.

* The Skin Makeover: Brazillian Peel
The brand new Brazillian Peel is the #1 seller on shelves at Sephora, and you’re going to be trying it ahead of the pack. Don’t be scared by the word “peel”: this is the first professional-level glycolic-acid peel attainable at home, but it doesn’t have scary side effects or “red as a lobster” results. Instead, you’ll get instantly smoother, softer and more streamlined skin (just like you would if going to a fancy spa). It will help gently remove dead skin cells, visible wrinkles or pesky age spots, by gradually chipping away at years of damage. Valued at $78, you’ll use the treatment once per week over the next 4 weeks…. it’s like a good night’s sleep in a box!

* The Tan Makeover: Beautisol Summer Glow Beautikit
I recently gave myself my own summer glow makeover by finally trying out self tanner after years of only “dabbling”. I was amazed at how easy the new formulas can be and how realistic the shades have become. Thankfully, Beautisol is one of the best self tanners on the market, because it was created by the Self Tanning Queen herself Sinead Norenius. Sinead tried every single self tanner on the market for years, until she finally figured out the key elements to the perfect formula (and thus Beautisol was born!) By using the simply Summer Glow Beautikit, you can get an all over “back from the beach” look, without streaky, smelly and silly results. It gives you an instantly bronzed look (so you can see where you’re applying), doesn’t turn orange, and is even packed with anti-aging ingredients… does it get more perfect?

* The Body Makeover: Bliss Fat Girl Slim Treatment Kit
As if the name isn’t enough reason to completely adore this kitschy product line, the results will have you sold in no time. This cellulite reduction treatment from Bliss is perfect for those troublesome areas you can’t seem to fight off with diet and exercise. The kit is packed with revolutionary, cult-hit products that are like squeezing a weekend health retreat into your bathroom. Featuring FatGirlSlim (a caffeine-packed cream that reduces cellulite), FatGirlScrub (to slough off bumpy skin), FatGirlSleep (for a slimming pre-bed treatment), and FatGirlSlimulator (a one-of-a-kind massage tool designed to boost circulation and eliminate lumps and bumps). Bikini here you come!

* The Hair Makeover: Dove Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner
What’s a makeover worth if you have dry, frizzy, damaged hair in the end? (Hint: not at a lot). Luckily, the fabulous Dove (who has positive female advertisements and healthy product options) are topping themselves again by treating the Makeover Momma winners to their new, creamy conditioner. Designed specifically to heal and repair over-processed locks, even beauty professionals and product “shnoras” are fans of this brand new treatment. Women see a noticeable difference with only a few minutes in the shower (personally, I prefer applying conditioner from root to tip, and leaving in for at least 5 minutes while I shaving so it has ample time to absorb). You can also use this conditioner as a daily serum (applying a dime size amount to frayed ends) or as a protective ointment before heat styling. Silky, soft hair… here you come!
* The Color Makeover: Kelly Van Gogh Master Blend
How much would you pay to have a celebrity stylist and hair coloring expert give you a personal consultation? That’s exactly what super star Kelly Van Gogh is doing for our final three winners. She’ll study your current color, give you personal suggestions for how to improve your look at home, and send you the exact hair color you need to get salon results (without the price tag!) Her dyes are specifically made to give you gorgeous styles without the worry. Whether highlights that can be “frozen” at the perfect shade you need or all-over-color that couldn’t be easier to apply… you’ll feel gorgeous in no time!

* The Fitness Makeover: Acacia Fitness DVD’s
Just because you’re getting a makeover doesn’t mean you’re any less of a mom. Finding time to workout at a gym or meet with a personal trainer is nearly impossible with your crazy schedule, so get results at home (and be able to keep them up) with 4 hand-picked DVD’s from Acacia. Each DVD has been chosen to give you a wide range of amazing results: for fat loss, for lengthening, for toning and to cut stress levels (which contributes to extra fat around our bellies). Squeeze in workouts at home, lose weight and feel amazing… can you beat that?

* The Accessory Makeover: Stella & Dot
I adore my friend Elise and her amazing collection of Stella & Dot jewelery. Recently I forced myself to wear a beautiful piece of jewelry every single day for a month (even if it was just the same pair of big, bold earrings), and realized what a difference it really makes in personal style. Simply adding a gorgeous, feminine item to your everyday ensembles can instantly take your look from “simply dressed” to “super stylish”. The best part about Stella & Dot jewelry, however, is that it looks expensive, luxe and chic…. but doesn’t have the overpriced tag to match. Now you can look perfectly put together at all times, without breaking the bank. Fabulous!

The Final Results: What You Do
If you want to participate, follow our amazing sponsors and leave your comment below (easy enough, right?) 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month will be chosen at random in 1 week (that’s right, you only have 7 days to enter, before your products are shipped out). Remember that the final ladies need to be prepared to take clear “Before” and “After” photos, use all products and treatments according to the directions for 30 days (no excuses), and follow all instructions given to the best of their abilities.
If you think you’re up for the task, then get ready…get set…. get made-over!

* Exclusive Giveaway of the Week: B.Makowsky Leather Medium Tote ($182 value!)
Makeover Momma is getting ready for our fourth New York Fashion Week season (which means plenty of wardrobe panic attacks at WalMart on my part). As per usual, we’ll be celebrating next week with exclusive posts, videos and coverage showing you the latest shows, accessories and styles to steal from home.
Even though I might not fit in at NYFW (my $7 T.J. Maxx dresses and tendency to start showing photos of my children will have that effect), I adore seeing the latest fashion trends on the runway. But one of the things that you might not now is how many amazing new designs are launching with QVC for the Fall 2011 season. They’re going to take fashion week by storm (and I’ll have all the videos, footage and style gossip to prove it).
But since I leave for New York Fashion Week tonight, QVC wanted to bring a little bit of NYFW to you this weekend. How? You could win this B.Makowsky Leather Medium Tote with Signature Hardware in Taupe ($182 value). It’s the perfect purse for anyone: the color goes with everything, it’s luxuriously made and it’s big enough to hold all of your mommy gear (you know you’ve got a lot of it).
How To Enter:
* Comment Below: Why would you want to win this purse to celebrate NYFW?
* Be sure to “like” QVC on Facebook (QVC) or follow on Twitter (@QVC)
That’s it! A winner will be announced live on the @makeovermomma Twitter account and Facebook page next Monday: so you only have this weekend to enter!

Win Big At The Hooray For Holidays Twitter Party
In the mood for a good Twitter party? If you want to win fabulous giveaways and talk about the best in holiday gift giving, than don’t miss the Hooray For Holidays Twitter party next Wednesday (December 15′th, from 8 to 9 PM/EST). You don’t even have to RSVP (though a comment below is always appreciated)….
The Giveaways:
* Turn 4XT Cologne From Avon: Want to give something special to that man in your life, but don’t know what to get? With any luck you’ll win this amazing new fragrance from Avon (designed by  Champion Nascar driver Carl Edwards, $26). And even though that translates in my girl brain as “blah, blah, something  for boys, fast cars, blah”, I know that men out there are going to love this. The cologne has masculine notes like Basil, Golden Ginger and Mohogany Wood, and was derived from the feeling of fast drives and sharp turns (so in short, you’re dude will feel really cool wearing this). Plus, the unique aromas (like Cilantro and Amber Wood) sound so amazing that I’m dying to smell it.
* A Charming KEYper: One lucky winner will never lose her keys again (thanks to this handy, adorable device). One end of the Charming KEYper has a beautiful charm (with words like “Hope”, “Love” or “Dream”), while the other side hooks discretely to your keys. So the next time you find yourself rummaging around for hours, you can simply pull on the beautiful charm and find your necessities on the other end. Plus, it comes in an adorable package (reminiscent of a purse) so you don’t even have to wrap it during the holiday season (just add it to someone’s stocking or give it away in person… you’re done!)
* Scotch Naturals and Hopscotch Kids: Did you paint your nails when you were pregnant? Do you worry about the toxic fumes while painting your kids toes (or hate hearing your spouse’s complaints about the funky scent?) Scotch Naturals creates all natural nail polish that is not only safe for your children, tweens and teens… but safe for pregnant mommas too! It’s the perfect holiday gift for your little ones, for an expectant mom (or even to host a safe spa birthday party or baby shower).
* The Purse Perfector: If you’re constantly losing your debit cards, chapsticks and baby rattles in the bottomless pit formerly known as your purse, this is perfect for you. The Purse Perfector is a handy clutch that fits seamlessly inside of almost any purse (it comes in medium and large sizes), to hold your various accoutrements with ease. It’s so cute that you can even carry it into the store in of itself (or keep it in your car so you’re never without your mothering “must haves”). Personally, I’m loving the new color options (including the Black with Berry lining shown above)…adorable!
How Do You Participate?
Join the party on Wednesday (December 15′th) from 8 to 9 PM/EST, using the hashtag #HoorayHolidays. We’ll be talking about the Hooray For Holidays promotion (and how you can save big), but also the best in holiday gift ideas, steals, deals and (of course) plenty of giveaways!
In addition to @makeovermomma, please be sure to follow the #HoorayHolidays giveaway sponsors to qualify:
But what if you don’t have a Twitter account? You can still join in on the fun by following Purse Perfector’s Facebook page (and suggesting it to your friends)… it counts as an additional entry to win (and who knows, you just might be chosen!)
That’s all you have to do! See you soon!
