Band Together With Mary Kay To Fight Domestic Violence {CLOSED} Part 1

12:00 AM

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***

Recently, I wrote a review for Mary Kay's Give Joy, Give Dreams and Give Hope promotion that is taking place now until December 15th. The way this promotion works is for every limited edition lipstick that is purchased (three colors) for $13, Mary Kay will donate $1 to end domestic violence. If you haven't checked it out yet, visit Mary Kay and consider contributing to this great cause!
Now, starting today in conjunction with the above-mentioned promotion, Mary Kay is going to be showing a series of three short films in the effort to band together and continue to combat domestic violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this is why Mary Kay is putting so much effort into this important cause.

All I ask that you do is watch the film below. It is approximately 12 minutes long so it will take you very little time to watch. These three films (which I will be promoting over the next few weeks) will feature the celebrities Maria Menounos ("Extra"), JoAnna Garcia Swisher ("Better With You") and Alexa Vega ("Spy Kids").

Today's film is entitled "Give Dreams" and it is narrated by Maria Menounos. Enjoy!

Also, I ask that you join the Mary Kay Facebook page. For each new Facebook fan in October, Mary Kay will again donate $1 to the Mary Kay Foundation...up to $1 million. WOW! So, if you cannot purchase a lipstick, at least follow them on Facebook!!! 
Now, on to the giveaway! This one is going to be pretty simple...only several entries are required and the prize will be this super cute clutch. Inside of this Mary Kay Clutch you will find a Mary Kay Lash Love Mini, a Bella Belara Fragrance Wand and a Beauty That Counts Sampler Card. This clutch has a retail value of $25. Here are your entry options!

    The dream is having the power to overcome the abuse of domestic violence. It's hard but talking to one person is the first step.

    I learned domestic violence is physical AND emotional. If you're a victim of it, talk to someone.
