I was contacted by a representative of Dr. NV Perricone the other day. I was asked to do a giveaway for my readers. I jumped at the chance to have something fun for my readers to try, but I was also hesitant to give away a product I personally have not used in the past. So the conundrum. How do I endorse a giveaway for a product that I'm not sure I will like? Conundrum solved. I sponsor the giveaway and the winner just needs to report back to me with a thumbs up or thumbs down after they try it for a while. You don't have to give me a full review just answer these simple questions:
a) Your current skin tone & texture.
b) Did the product look good on you?
c) Will you continue to wear it?
d) Would you purchase it?
e) Would you recommend it to friends?
Is that too much to ask? 5 simple questions. (plus, honestly, I'm not going to hold you to answering...hey if you don't want to e-mail me back I'm not going to hound you about it or even get upset...but it would be nice)
So what do you say? Sound good? Since I can't hear you, I'll assume you are all agreeing with me as I normally assume in my tiny brain and fantasy world.
So Perricone asked me to give away this:
No Foundation, Foundation
According to Perricone, this is a "lightweight defensive solution formulated with antioxidants, non-chemical sunscreen protection and specially-treated pigments, fused with light-diffusing mica. These key sciences work together to create an absolutely flawless finish:
1. Alpha Lipoic Acid (Patented):
* Provides antioxidant protection from skin damaging free radicals
* Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, pore size, puffiness and discoloration
* Smooths skin texture
* Evens skin tone and imperfections
2. DMAE
* Tightens and lifts skin
* Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
3. Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide
These two ingredients offer non-chemical, SPF 30 broad spectrum UV protection. Unlike chemical sun protectants, which get absorbed into the skin, these non-chemical ingredients sit on top of skin acting as a natural barrier against sun rays as they deflect the rays away from the skin."
OK. Sounds all good to me. But Perricone also wanted me to mention two other products which I actually have some interest in myself.
Perricone acai
Now I know that the Acai berry has been pretty popular for a few years. Touted as a "Superfood" this Amazonian purple berry, bursting with antioxidants, has essential fatty and amino acids with trace minerals and fiber. Dr. Perricone has a powder that you add to water as a diet supplement. Now I know antioxidants are supposed to be great for the skin and you are what you eat so I think this powder might have some benefit.
Perricone prescription diet
I know there is no magic pill to help you lose weight...trust me I have tried plenty of them, but Dr. NV Perricone has a health and weight management dietary supplement pack that I'm actually interested in. I know that it won't make me lose weight by taking it on it's own, but perhaps it will give me that extra push once I start a diet and exercise program. Does it work? I don't know, but it has me interested in finding out.
Including those items I have heard good things about the Ceramic Eye Smoother, High Potency Eye Lift, Skin Clear Supplements to name a few.
Enough of my babble.
Here are the rules for the giveaway:
1) Enter your information into the contest widget at the bottom of this post and and share why you want or need No Foundation, Foundation.

3) Readers must enter and leave a comment no later than 11:55 PM, Eastern Time Thursday the 11th. (Winner will be announced on Friday the 12th)
That's it. Good Luck!
