Cruise With Me Reader Appreciation Give Away

Horray!  I am leaving for my cruise in approx. 45 minutes, and I am so excited!  I know I was going to post this give-away 2 weeks ago, but with finals, etc., things have been crazy busy here in MissPrissMorgan Land. 

For those of you who can't come with me in person, I am hosting a give away so that you can come with me in spirit!  I have been trying to decide what to give away for quite a while, and I had a few ideas, but nothing in particular.  I wanted to give away some products I really like, and use all the time, but not necessarily all makeup items.  It was only recently that I decided to do a "cruise theme."  More specifically, my cruise, to the Eastern Caribbean.  To find out what I'm giving away, and how to enter continue reading below.

I will be cruising to the Eastern Caribbean, on the Carnival Glory! I will be vacationing Fun Ship style, for 8 days and  7 nights.  Below is my cruise itinerary and the corresponding give away prizes.

Day 1

Leave Las Vegas at 10 pm, travel to Miami, Florida, ship sets sail at 4 pm.

Last year, when I arrived in Miami, I couldn't help but notice how TAN everyone was.  I felt a little out of place because I wouldn't be tan until after my cruise.  This time I'll be golden bronze and ready to go thanks to Sun Laboratories Dark Self Tanning Lotion.  So for Day 1 of my give away, the winner will get a 2.7 oz sample size of this fabulous product!

Day 2

St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands!

For about a year or so I have been IN LOVE with NYX cosmetics.  They are very affordable, highly pigmented, and often compared to MAC cosmetics in color and quality.  Recently they released Caribbean themed eyeshadow palette containing 5 different shades.  While I am in St. Thomas, the winner will be able to enjoy the NYX I Dream of St. Thomas Eyeshadow Palette.  The colors not your mama's eyeshadow colors.  With pink, black, and green these colors are super fun to play with. (If you win and you need tutorial ideas, let me know.  I've created pretty looks with every color in the pallet.)

Day 3

A fun day at sea.

While lounging pool side, working on my tan, the Fun Ship Cruise will keep me entertained with activities, dancing, music, and contests.  Not to mention all I can eat/drink refreshments.  Two essentials any girl needs while enjoying a day by the pool are sun glasses and flip flops.  Old Navy flip flops are SUPER affordable and come in so many colors, Van Gogh would be jealous!  BF and I will both be sporting them, and so will the Give Away winner!  The bright pink color will look fantastic against her newly tan skin!  Sunglasses are also a poolside essential, so the winner will get a cute pair of sunglasses from Forever 21 as well.

Day 4

San Juan, Puerto Rico

I have never been to Puerto Rico, and don't know much about the culture.  However, {and I might be stereotyping a little bit here} whenever I think about Puerto Rican style, I think of bright colors, great music, clubs, dancing, and fabulous jewelry.  While I am in Puerto Rico, the winner will get to enjoy some super cute and colorful, earrings from my new favorite accessory store, Forever 21!

Day 5

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

We all know how much I love Lush products, so to celebrate beach vacations in the Bahamas, I'm throwing in some Lush goodies!!!  The winner will receive a piece of Banana Moon Soap, a Sunny Side Bubble Bar, and a Big Blue Bath Ballistic.  The Banana Moon Soap, not only has the word moon in it like Half Moon Cay, it smells like a fruity vacation drink or Banana Boat lotion!  Sunny Side Bubble Bar will fill the bathtub with tons of gold glitter reminiscent of beach sand, and leave the water the color of a golden sunshine.  Big Blue Bath Ballistic will practically bring the ocean to your tub.  It is chock full of Atlantic Sea Salt, and seaweed, and leaves the water a bright, crystal blue color.  Combine it with the Sunny Side Bubble Bar for the oh so famous "Mermaid Cocktail."

Day 6

Grand Turk Island, Turks & Caicos

Not only does Turks & Caicos have b-e-a-utiful beaches,  this group of sub-tropical islands in the West Indies is composed of the larger Caicos Islands and the smaller Turks Islands.   It is also the place where Vikki, from the Real Housewives of Orange County, renewed her wedding vows.  Rumor has it, that along with San Salvador and Samana Cay in the Bahamas, Gran Turk is one of the contenders for the landfall island of Christopher Columbus during his discovery of the New World in 1492.  While I am here enjoying site-seeing, underwater adventures and cave exploration, the give away winner will enjoy a Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss, quite possibly the most coveted shade in their collection.

Day 7

A fun day at sea

When the sun comes out, one thing comes to mind, "open toed shoes!"  I love brightly colored toesies, especially when I am relaxing by the pool, and we all know what a nail polish junkie I am.  This prize was the FIRST one I thought of, and the inspiration from whence this give away came.  On the Fun Ship, my toes will have a french manicure, but the winner of this give away will have the option to choose from the 6 new shades in China Glaze's Poolside Collection.  Just released in April of 2010, this collection screams "summertime!"  Bright toes, tan legs, pink flip flops, OMG the cuteness is almost too much to bear... Oh did I mention that the winner doesn't get just 1 polish, but all 6 from the collection?!?  I thought so...

Day 8

Port in Miami, Florida and fly home.

So sad the trip is over...  and the airport can be a boring place to spend a few hours.  In order to beat post vacation blues I usually like to grab a few gossip or beauty magazines to make the trip home more bearable.  Along with 2 cutie pa-tootie luggage tags to help prevent lost suitcases, the give away winner will also receive a 2 free issues of  People Style Watch!

All together this Give Away is Valued at $150.00 (nothing was sponsored, it was all purchased with my own cash-o-la)!  Man, I feel like Oprah.
