"Pay It Forward" Giveaway!

As you know, a little while back I was lucky enough to win a GIVEAWAY from Gabby, she wrote, here ( I won a Sephora gift certificate which I'll blog about my purchases soon) AND although I didn't win the contest over at Gals in the know, she gifted me a present for being her first "non" friend follower way back when. What a sweetheart! If you haven't checked out her blog...you MUST...it's fabulous!

What she gifted to me: Stila shadow and blush compact



She wrapped it with fashion magazine paper and this pretty stone. I took off the paper before I had my camera out so I just placed the stone around the makeup compact for the photo above. What a neat idea she had. So fun to unwrap!

Isn't the eye shadow pretty? There are two shimmer nude colors and a brown shadow along with a pink blush. I love it! (Btw, don't mind the paint on my hand, I was painting the kitchen earlier that day and couldn't get all the paint off!)

Thank you Gals in the know for giving me this super cute Stila makeup. I absolutely LOVE Stila products so this was such a TREAT!
So.....

Since I've been so LUCKY, I want to PAY IT FORWARD!
The Underfunded Heiress 1st Giveaway: Whoo hoo!

I recently blogged about cute bikini cover ups here. One of my favorites was the Victoria Secret ruffle cover up dress. I bought it recently but because I think it's SO lovely, I'm going to give it away! (But maybe I'll have to buy another one, so whoever wins may have to be matching twins with me).

It's a size small but I think it runs big. It seems like more of a medium to me. I love the ruffle top and it's really soft and light (to see the details of the dress click here).

Don't you love it?! Don't you want it?!

In order to participate in the contest you MUST be in my click (aka a follower).
AND to enter the contest:
1. Comment on this blog post telling me where you would like to wear this cute little number.
2. Additonal entry given by mentioning my contest on your blog (and please let me know just in case I accidentally miss it).
4. Additonal entry given by following my twitter (ufheiress).
3. Additonal entry given for linking my blog (please let me know if you do so).

Rules: Must be18 yrs or old and live in the US or Canada (sorry, it's just too expensive to ship Internationally, unless you know of a way that it's not please let me know).

Easy right?

In 2 weeks (July 6), I'll announce the winner!

Good luck!

  31. So freaking cute! Why have I not seen this before?! Love it. I would wear this in three months on my honeymoon in Mexico! I just got furloughed at work so my hottie honeymooner fund has dwindled substantially. I would so love to win this and rock it with my cute heeled gladiators and a big fun hat and sunglasses.
