The month of May is a special time to celebrate Mothers. Whether you are a mom yourself or you’re doing something special for your own mom, the Something Special for Mom Giveaway Event is for YOU! A great group of bloggers have come together to show you special items you might like to receive or give as gifts this month. You’ll be able to enter to win these great products from May 10th-26th thanks to the Blogging Mamas Network!

Be sure to hop around to all of the participating bloggers, in the linky below this giveaway, as they have some great prizes to share with you! Make sure you also enter the Grand Prize – a $250 Gift Card to Mía Mariú! One lucky Mama is going to look so pretty with all that eco-friendly makeup!

My addition to the group giveaway THREE fantasic sets of summer essentials from MODE Cosmetics worth $22 each! The set will include the following:

• MODE Lip Juice in Juicy Juicy
• MODE The Illuminator in Aura
• MODE Petal Rush in Wink Wink
• MODE logo velvet makeup pouch

I have been using these products for the past few weeks,a nd I am absolutely nuts about them! The Lip Juice is this really pretty shade of bubblegum pink that would be overpowering if it were a matte lipstick, but as a shiny gloss, it is sophisticated and chic!

And the look and feel of the Petal Rush cream blush is similar. I was startled when I saw the color in person, and I really did fear I would look like a clown when I applied it. But as long as you only apply a small amount, the end result is very fresh-looking and natural. It is absolutely perfect for the summer months! Also, you don’t need much to get the effect you want. I’ve been using this daily for a few weeks now, and it looks barely used!

MODE The Illuminator is a new type of product for me. It is creamy and much like the cream blush, a little goes a long way. When you apply it to the apples of your cheeks or to your eyes (or really to wherever you like!) it makes that part of your skin take on a soft sheen. You look like you are glowing! The only ever time I have looked so radiant is when I have been pregnant. And I’d much rather apply The Illuminator whenever I like than to endure 9 more months of being sick all the time! ;-). I had trouble getting a good shot of the product on my face, so here’s an example of what it looks like on my hand. Can you spot the “glowing” part?

MODE cosmetics are a delightful find, as they are made with beneficial natural ingredients, have a fashion-forward look and feel, are made to last throughout your day, and are priced at a point that will make you positively giddy! Each item featured today retails for under $10! Can you believe it?!?! If you are in need of some updated makeup but need to keep your budget in check, you can’t go wrong with MODE!

Win it!: Time for that great giveaway I mentioned earlier!
