Win a Sephora Gift Card for Valentine’s Day

Win this Sephora Valentine Gift

Having never been to Sephora, I planned to dash into the store for a quick preview before posting this Valentine Sephora Gift Card Giveaway

Instead, I found myself perusing the cosmetic aisles with my eyes all a twinkling. My 4th grade daughter looked just as mesmerized. She ogled neon eye shadows. I tested long-lasting lipsticks. Together, we caught a whiff of Amazing Grace and followed the delicious scent back to the fragrance section. 

I haven’t worn perfume since realizing my signature scent masked the new baby smell on this very girl now by my side. We decided that Mom, after nearly a decade, could smell like something other than peanut butter and Lady Speed Stick for a change. I like the smell of Amazing Grace. I love the quote on the packaging even more. So I bought a bottle for me and one to share. 

For Valentine’s Day, we’re giving away a $35 gift card to Sephora, a .5 oz. Amazing Grace spray fragrance, and a Sephora compact mirror (their gift card freebie), with one of Brooke’s most popular prints, “Love in red.”

    The best valentine I ever received was a dozen roses and a card in which my boyfriend (now husband!) told me he loved me for the first time! It was so sweet it makes me smile even now several years later…

    The best Valentine I ever received was the news I was finally pregnant. Back in 08 I got the news right before Valentine’s day. Nothing will ever top that.

    The best valentine I ever received was a handmade card from my boyfriend (now fiance.) He didn’t have much money, but still wanted to give me something special, and the card was the sweetest thing I have ever seen! I still have it and read it from time to time…always makes me smile! :)

    The best Valentine I ever received was a treasure-hunt made from a rose petal path that lead to romantic, hand-made cards along with little presents, eventually leading into an amazingly romantic bubbly bath.
    And then we went out to dinner! It was unforgettable…

    The best Valentine I ever received was a poster board size card covered with cut-out hearts and handwritten words of love. I hadn’t received a card that year (and may have complained!), and I ended up with the biggest card ever — and still have it, 14 years later!

    The best Valentine I ever received were three little turtles I named Charlie, Booster and Speedy. My father picked these turtles out special for me because he knew how much I wanted a pet and my sister is allergic to just about everything. I was daddy’s little girl, was only about 8 year’s old at the time, and he wanted to give me something just as special as a dog, which is what I had origiinally wanted. No Valentine gift could ever compare to this very special one that truly came from my father’s heart.

    The best Valentine I ever received was an amazingly romantic dinner prepared for me by my boyfriend at the time. He went all out! He made it a huge surprise, cooked the entire dinner himself, and ended the night with a wonderful present from Victoria’s Secret. Haha, I should probably end the story there…

    But really, it was truly amazing. He went above and beyond anything I had ever expected and even though we’re no longer together, it is something I will remember forever.

    The best valentine I ever received was last year when my husband proposed to me at a very romantic place called The Viewpoint Inn – you may know this from the Prom scene in Twilight, that is where they filmed it. It was perfect, it was really windy and cold but the view was amazing and the next thing I knew he was on his knee beside me!

    I love to hear about sentimental Dad’s too, because my Dad never has missed a Valentine’s day for me and my siblings. He has made it very special for as long as I can remember!

  28. Christina says:

    The best Valentine I ever received was my dad teaching me how to waltz when I was 9. We always had a little dance on Valentine’s Day growing up and me and each of my 3 sisters got to learn to waltz with Dad. It was special and I miss that dance now that I am a married woman. I’m thinking I will continue the tradition with my boys!

    The best Valentine I ever received was a laser printer. I was in the middle of my master’s and writing paper after paper each week. My printer was on it’s last legs and I fought with it every day. So when I got the laser printer, it made me the happiest I’d been in a long time.
