Beauty and a Book Giveaway

December 18, 2020

Happy Holiday Season to All! I’m here with a book review and giveaway for you. This post is part of the amazing Beauty and Book group that I belong to. Today we’re giving away another book by the wonderful author Jenna Jaxon. It’s a great time for this Christmas book too! This book is part of Ms Jaxon’s series called “The Widow’s Club” and it’s the latest addition (book 5 of 5). The series is about a group of friends who were widowed after Waterloo. The books in the series can be read in order you choose or they can be read alone. You can read my review of book number 4 in the series in this post.

Everyone needs to read a good book on a balcony in Hawaii!

 

About the author:

Jenna Jaxon photo

“Jenna Jaxon is a best-selling author of historical romance, writing in a variety of time periods because she believes that passion is timeless. She has been reading and writing historical romance since she was a teenager. A romantic herself, Jenna has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise. She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories.”

A Widow's Christmas Surprise book

This book is described as follows:

“The death of her husband has thrown Lady Maria Kersey’s future into doubt – and her heart into the arms of a man she cannot have. But Christmas with the Widows’ Club will bring choices – and surprises – that may change all her holidays to come . . .

Maria just gave birth to her first child, a beautiful daughter—but the event is shrouded in sorrow.  A month earlier, Maria’s husband, Lord Kersey, was killed in a duel under compromising circumstances. Worse, Maria’s failure to provide a male heir has stripped her of any hope of an inheritance. Scorned by the ton, one of her few allies is her late husband’s steward, Hugh Granger. Hugh is everything her husband was not—warm, charming—and penniless. . . .

Hugh has fallen desperately in love with Maria, but has little to offer but comfort. As their attraction becomes impossible to resist, Maria flees to London to spend Christmas with her dearest friends, a group of widows who lost their own husbands in the Battle of Waterloo. Little does she know the holidays will reveal a twist of fate she never expected—proving that the greatest Christmas gift is the magic of true love . . .”

Christmas giveaway with Jenna Jaxon book

I’m about halfway done with the book and am really enjoying it. It’s a historical romance that keeps me turning the pages. I think you’ll feel the same way that I do about it when you get a chance to read it. For the previous book that I read from the series, I listened to it on Audible and I thought it was a fun way to enjoy the book.

Now let’s look at the items that are offered in this Christmas gifting!

One person will win:

  1. a copy of Jenna Jaxon’s book The Widow’s Christmas Surprise
  2. a $50 Amazon gift card to spend on anything that your heart desires
  3. a Crown Beauty Nova Pro Face Travel Palette
  4. a set of eye brushes to perfectly apply the shadow

All you have to do is follow the simple instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below to enter for a chance to win the Jenna Jaxon book and all of these goodies. Giveaway is open to those who are 18+ and reside in US only.

Crown Nova face palette

I used the Crown Nova Pro Travel Face palette to create my simple and super quick everyday look. I need to experiment with some of the bolder colors when I have time. I do love that I can create my entire look with this palette, with the exception of my tinted moisturizer.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔

Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.

When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up e When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up experience at my local Ulta Beauty, I immediately added it to my calendar.

They did product demonstrations, skincare education, and mini facials, all focused on the Milk Rx line for better aging. They were handing out samples to attendees, so I brought some home to try.

Such a great experience — the kindest staff. Thank you, @beekman1802 💛🐐💛
