Rodan + Fields giveaway
Hi friends! We’re enjoying one last day in Cali, but in the meantime, I have some fun posts planned! Today is a giveaway and Fashion post, and tomorrow: a new dance cardio video. Hope you’re having a wonderful start to your week! xo
_______________________________________________________________
My normal skincare routine would probably make some people shudder.
It involves using a little cleanser (usually Yes To brand or Juice Beauty) on the Clairsonic at night, nighttime moisturizer, and tinted SPF moisturizer for day. Once or twice a week, I feel fancy and use a LUSH face mask. That’s it. Full-on skincare/makeup routines freak me out a little bit (toner, exfoliator, makeup remover, primer, whaaaaat?!) and I always feel intimidated when I check out new products. If it ain’t broke, right?
Well, my friend Jeni has always had absolutely gorgeous skin. In the 5 years I’ve known her, it’s continued to become even more vibrant and beautiful. When she last came to visit, it was absolutely glowing, so I asked what products she’d been using. (Unlike me, Jeni knows about makeup and skincare and stuff haha.) She had started using the Rodan + Fields products (founded by the same doctors who created the ProActiv solution) and loved them so much that she became a consultant for them. Since I was curious to try it out, she offered to send me some samples when she got home. (And because she’s one of my closest friends and know it’s important to me, she also triple-checked to make sure that the products weren’t tested on animals. Rodan +Fields is cruelty-free and supported by PETA.)
When I first opened the package, I was really excited to try out the facial, lip serum and exfoliator she sent. The verdict? I absolutely loved everything. My skin looked noticeably different in a couple of weeks. Since I found the products to be extremely effective (yet gentle enough for my sensitive skin) I asked Jeni if she might be able to do a giveaway.
Here’s what one lucky winner will receive:
You can check out more of the products on her site here and there is a solution tool to help decide what products would be best for your skin.
How to enter:
Just leave a comment with with your favorite skincare or beauty product. If I had to narrow it down to one, mine would be Moroccan oil. It makes my hair smell great and keeps the frizzies away.
I’ll pick the winner via random number generator and announce in this week’s Friday Faves post.
Hope you have a wonderful day! <3

I have to say my fave skincare item is my clarisonic! obsessed…it has totally changed my skin. i love trying new stuff too!!
I have been loving on the Mint Julips from Lush lately.
I’m like you – very little skincare regime and sensitive skin – so this would be aca-awesome.
Hi, Rodan and Fields offers a great line for sensitive skin called Soothe. I would love to tell you about it. If you would like to set up a time to talk you can find my email address on my site. Thanks.
My favorite is ProActive! I would love to try this product.
Hi, I would love to tell you what the doctors are doing for skin care now. If you would like to set up a time to talk you can find my email address on my site. Thanks.
I love to use Philosophy The Present as a primer. It helps control shine and keeps my makeup looking like new all day :).
I love the Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup. I can use it as a powder foundation, or a powder over top of liquid foundation and as an extra concealer over top of stubborn dark spots.
I really love my MAC blush – the girl at the counter picked the perfect shade for me 🙂
Coconut oil is my favorite, especially in the winter! I leave a jar in the bathroom just to use on my hair, skin, and lips. Love it!
Simple and cheap: St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub!
Thanks!
My Clarisonic has changed my life!
I too am a fan of Moroccan oil. Smells so good and leaves my hair so soft! Hate when I run out!
I love Biolage shampoo! I am excited to try Rodan +Fields!
I love my La Mer face cream..it’s super expensive so it’s like my treat to myself once a week or so! I love it, but I’m always looking for new products to use everyday.
Definitely argan oil. I use it on my hair, lips, face, after a shave, etc.
I love coconut oil–it’s great on cuticles, as a face moisturizer, and even on split ends! And oh so natural!
Suave Green Apple leave-in conditioner! Sounds ridiculous, but it smells like childhood and keeps my fine hair from going crazy!
Ooooh another giveaway! These products sound amazing!! I loved Proactiv at first, but it really dried out my skin after awhile (I have pretty sensitive skin as well) so I’m curious how this line is… As for my fave product, for these hot dry summer days (I’m in NM) I gotta say I’m loving my Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray. Adds a bit of moisture and texture. ?
Love Air Control hairspray by Aveda….so expensive, my biggest indulgence.
Ever since you did a post on the clarisonic cleaner, I got one and love it!! I also have a very basic skin care routine but would love to try something new!!
I totally agree with you, Gina. Moroccan Oil is pretty great and completely changed my hair for the better. My favorite beauty product is Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain. I’m not a fan of Cover Girl cosmetics, but I have been obsessed with their lip stain line for years now, and I love them! They look so natural and go on beautifully!
I, too, have sensitive skin, which makes finding skincare/beauty products tricky! Since using products with SPF is also important to me, I have been a faithful user of Bare Minerals makeup for years. Their products rock (and have sun protection)!
My favorite and it smells SO good is St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub !
L’oreal BB cream. It’s like magic the way it matches your skin color.
My absolute fave beauty product is Biore’s ice cleanser. It’s not at all glamorous, but it’s a necessity for my oily, 20-something skin!
I really love any kind of clay mask for its clarifying effects 🙂
I just started using coconut oil, and I love it!
I use Aveda skin care products and love them but I always like trying new stuff!
I love my clairsonic and I started using the Estee Lauder foaming face wash with it and it’s great!!
Coconut oil hair mask!
My favorite is Burt’s Bees original lip balm. It keeps my lips hydrated without drying them out more later like a lot of lip balms do.
My fav product is miss jessies pillow soft curls 🙂
I’m loving my clairsonic face brush and vitamin-C serum 🙂
coconut oil and I love mychelle products, it makes my skin look amazing and I love that there natural and its made from plants and fruits and all the products smell amazing!
L’Oreal Magic BB Cream. It applies easily, matches my skin tone perfectly and gives me the coverage I need without breaking the bank!
The Aztec Secret bentonite clay masque, applied with a little apple cider vinegar, makes my skin luminescent and calms the oil situation the freak DOWN. Proactiv saved me as a hormonal teenager, so I am really curious to explore this other line of products. And I lovelovelove that it’s not tested on animals!!
I love coconut oil as a body lotion and as a deep conditioner/hair mask!! Every week or so I’ll lather up, sleep in it, and let it soak in. Makes my skin super soft and my hair is so moisturized (and not greasy!)
OH, I’ve heard amazing things about this brand.
My current fave is The Body Shop’s Cocoa body butter 🙂
I would have to say my Clinic cleanser and moisturizer
I use ProActive. Usually just the face scrub. I forget to use Steps 2 & 3. It has made such a difference with my adult acne. I love it.
Mine is Marakesh Oil…similar to Moroccan Oil…I love it!
I love WEN haircare. It makes my color last longer and my hair is just naturally softer and shinier!
Clarisonic + Aveeno face wash!
I’ve just discovered the Pixi line of makeup at Target and love it! The Flawless Beauty Primer makes my skin look, well flawless and gives it a subtle glow underneath my bare minerals powder.
I love my matted primer. Perfect on these hot days. Need my makeup to stay put!!!
i absolutely love LUSH’s Ocean Salt Mask for exfoliating my skin. I use it twice a week, and it cleans my pores while brightening my skin! I heard great things about Rodan and Fields as well but haven’t had a chance to try their products yet!
My favorite skincare product is Coconut oil, it’s natural and works for everything. Always had problems with my skin, blemishes, etc., so a product like this would be awesome. Thanks for doing this giveaway. So fun and exciting.
I have super dry skin, so my favorite is my lancome face moisturizer. I’m checking out this line to see what they have to offer!
BB cream! love that i can skip the foundation, esp in the summer!
My favorite product is Tarye’s Maracuja Oil! Great night moisturizer.
My favorite skin product is coconut oil! I use it as a moisturizer, nighttime eye treatment, shave gel, and on diaper rash on my little guy. Plus, I can also use it to cook our pancakes 🙂
I love Couture Colour’s Pequi Oil Treatment! My hair is fine so other products like moroccon oil or argon oil can leave it looking greasy in certain weather but this tames my frizz and adds shine no matter what. Even in this hot NYC humidity!
