Holiday Giveaway: 12 Days of LoveBrownSugar

It’s that time of the year again guys! It’s my time to show my sincere appreciation for all your amazing support over the year and to give you guys a few of my absolute “favorite” things. So those of you who are OG LoveBrownSugar fans and have been around for a while know that I normally kick off my giveaway series on December 1st and do a full 25 Day giveaway blitz. I normally pull out all the stops and rack up amazing gifts that span over the entire month.

So the reason this year’s giveaway blitz is consolidated to 12 Days has nothing to do with the price of gas. The downscale of the giveaway blitz comes really as a result of my overwhelming growth over the past year, which I have to thank you all for. The site has grown so much and is honestly keeping me (and the LBS staff) busier than ever before! Not to mention that this year for the first time I ran a second giveaway blitz in July for my 3 Year Anniversary. I really had my hands full this year!

In the interest of offering you guys the best of the best in quality gifts, we’ve decided to consolidate and bang it out with 12 amazing days of giveaways. And I promise you these gifts won’t disappoint! From fab fashion goodies to glam accessories and beauty must-haves, as per usual I'll be giving away everything a girl could want under her Xmas tree this year. Check back once a day at 3PM from today December, 13th until Christmas Day, December 25th for your chance to win big.

Note: There is no limit to the amount of times you can win. Comment everyday and if you happen to win 5 times, that's your luck! Also, there will be a few exclusive Facebook-only and Twitter-only, Pinterest-only, Instagram-only prizes throughout the month so make sure you're following along on all my social pages. Twitter peeps, hit me up with the hashtag #12DaysofLBS if you see something you love.

Good luck and Happy Holidays from LoveBrownSugar!

25 Days of LoveBrownSugar: Day 22

Today's giveaway is for those who appreciate great skincare products. AMBI skincare is one of my absolute favorite brands for daily cleansing, and nope I didn't say that because they're paying me - it's true! I actually use AMBI Even & Clear Foaming Cleanser every morning and it keeps my skin refreshed, clean and free of acne pretty much all year long. I was given a few product samples when I was an editor at Honey Magazine, and that's been my go-to cleanser ever since. I switch up my moisturizers with the season to suit my skin needs, but their cleanser is a definite winner.

For 25 Days of LoveBrownSugar, AMBI is giving away gift baskets to three lucky winners! The goodies include: Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15, Exfoliating Wash, Fade Cream, and Black Soap with Shea Butter.
