Nothing is better than browsing through Etsy on a lazy Sunday, especially in shops like Dragon Knits and Jewelry.
There is a good variety of fabulous stuff in her shop! My personal favorite, one of the Simply Gorgeous necklaces, is up for grabs in this giveaway!
First of all, I have fallen in love with pearls. Ever since a girlfriend gave me a three strand pearl necklace as a bridesmaid gift, I’ve had a hard time not wearing them. But it’s time to switch it up a little, and this necklace does just that.
The ribbon makes it very adjustable. I can tie it long or short to go with different necklines. I like that I was able to wear it with a little black dress for an evening out and also with a casual top to a BBQ. I also love the floral detail on the ribbon. It’s all in the details for me.
I’m already eyeing the bracelets in the same style. The red one is so elegant. It would really make a great accessory for the holidays.
You can browse the Simply Gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, peek at the beautiful knits, or the adorable sweater that is now on Chazz’s must-have list. There is a ton of great stuff in this Etsy shop to drool over.
Remember to leave your email address in your comments to win some pretty pearls!
The giveaway ends on October 31st, and I will randomly select a winner and email you if you have won.

– Good Luck and HAVE FUN!!
I pretty much love doing my makeup. It’s fun. And let’s face it, it’s time to myself in the morning. Just me and my iTouch. I get to sing to myself, dance like a maniac rockstar, and get pretty!
When Eyes Lips Face Cosmetics offered to let me try out their Smokey Eye Kit, I was more than willing. I already had a few e.l.f. brushes in my arsenal that I use, and I trusted that their makeup would be of the same quality.
I liked that this kit is a full kit, and everything you need. It includes all of the shadows, liners, and tools for a smokey eye. And even a cute bag to carry it all in. If you are unsure of how to get the look, e.l.f. offers a bunch of tutorials on their website. So easy!
I liked that the powdered shadows worked well on my skin. Most powders don’t stay on long (oily), if they even show up at all. The white shadow was intense enough to show up and stay put. The cream shadows went on smooth and smudged. I also love the Eye Brightning liner, us tired moms need all the help we can get to not look so, well, tired! It has become an everyday staple.
As I mentioned earlier, I already am a fan of e.l.f. makeup brushes and tools. The eyeshadow brushes carry and distribute the color very nicely. The smudge tool (which I had never really used prior) works way better than Q-Tips, lol. I also liked the eye makeup remover pads. They got all of my mascara off without any burning or irritation.
I was a little intimidated by the eyelash curler. I’ve used the same brand since I started wearing makeup, and this one looked a tad bit archaic. It did a wonderful job of curling my lazy lashes, and I was impressed. Until the next morning, I pulled it out of my makeup bag, and the rubber piece was gone. Good thing they give you an extra rubber piece. That is all I would want to see changed.
My favorite part about e.l.f. is how reasonably priced their products are. Most of the essentials range from $1-$3. Now that fits into my budget nicely. And the Smokey Eye Kit is only $15. I’ve spent that in just mascara before!
E.l.f. Cosmetics is offering one of you wonderful readers a Smokey Eye Kit of your own. Pair it with a little black dress and you have the perfect look for a night out!
