ENTER TO WIN: ChapStick® Hydration Lock

By Christabelle… @CBellesCloset (*Pure Editorial, Non-Paid Post*)

When I was a little girl – too young to wear makeup – I recall the sheer joy I felt when my mom bought Amy (my bestie) and me Cherry ChapStick®.  I felt like a rockstar…with fruity lips.

Cherry ChapStick®is still a cult favorite, but now there is a new ChapStick® on the block! ChapStick® is making healthy, youthful-looking lips a part of daily routines with the launch of Hydration Lock – a premium lip balm with advanced moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients. By locking in the natural moisture of the lips and also drawing it in from outside, Hydration Lock keeps lips hydrated for a full eight hours.

Hydration Lock contains a nourishing and anti-aging complex of ingredients, including antioxidant CoQ10, ultra-hydrating Hyaluronic Spheres, Vitamin E and Fumed Alumina, to hydrate, revitalize and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the lips. Whether worn alone or as a foundation for color, Hydration Lock gives lips a smoother and fuller appearance and provides an enhanced lip feel.

In honor of my best friend Amy from the first grade, who I shared that wonderful ChapStick® moment with – you can enter to win a ChapStick® for YOU and one for YOUR BEST FRIEND.

ENTER TO WIN: Talbots Rose Silhouette Dress

**in accordance with the new 2013 FTC Blogger Guidelines**

By Christabelle…  @CBellesCloset

I have always looked up to my mother as a fashion icon of sorts…and if you are an avid reader of this blog, you have read all about Ro and her magnificent closet(s).

Talbots Rose Silhouette Dress

So, as we near Father’s Day…I can’t help but think about my mom.  It has been a month since the champagne flutes emptied of mom’s day mimosas, the lavish brunches cleared away, and the beautiful bouquets turned to potpourri – Mother’s Day officially came and went last month. But isn’t it truly mother’s day EVERY DAY?  The millions of things Mom does for the children in her life never ceases. The sweet notes (and sometimes not so sweet notes, CLEAN YOUR ROOM), the worried phone calls, the “pick me up at the mall” call and the never-ending piles of clean laundry are still there like clockwork. No matter what.

That is why it is important to continue celebrating each and every mother, even when the hype of Mother’s Day is no longer around to force us! And in honor of every selfless mom out there Christabelle’s Closet has teamed up with Talbots to spotlight one of their own Super-Moms, Lisa Gavales, Talbots President of Direct and Marketing. New to the team perhaps,  but the Talbots brand has always been with Lisa and her family.  Thirteen year old Lindy (Lisa’s daughter and budding fashionista), looks absolutely stunning in Talbots Rose Silhouette Dress. A few bright accessories, a fabulous hair style and most importantly beauty from within – no matter 13, 30 or 130, this show stopping dress can be worn by us all. We LOVE how Lindy paired her dress with a denim button down and nude booties. So on trend and super-cute! This mother-daughter duo proves Talbots is a brand for girls of any age.

Are you as obsessed with this dress as much as we are? Well now is your chance to call one your own! Leave a comment below with one sentence highlighting just how amazing your mom or mother figure is and you’ll be automatically entered to win the Talbots Rose Silhouette Dress!
