Amber Wins Contests

Since I had a slow month of winnings (which I will be sharing later, in case I win something last minute lol), I decided to share some of what my friends have won this month! Since creating this blog and Instagram account, I've gotten a few people hooked. Even people who were skeptical at first (@ you Sophie ;)) 1. @rach.waldo is killing it. I haven't seen her in person in over two years, but she said she's been telling friends about my account. She won a $150 gift card to @mvstselect, 2 beauty products of her choice from Elixir Cosmetics, and @Veloni eyebrow fortifier. I'm pumped because I tagged her in the luggage giveaway, sent her the Elixir Cosmetics contest, and had posted about the Veloni contest. She is a True Fan of my account, and I appreciate the support. 2. @elvivi_o has learned so much she's been finding and winnings contests that I haven't even seen. She won a $5 Starbucks gift card from Brava podcast, a Raw Sugar Living bath set (shampoo, co...

I'm a fairly frugal person and love getting good deals. However, there are some things that I've decided I'm never buying again because I can win them instead. Statement earrings- Now this is something I love to win, so keep on tagging me, but this is also something I never need to purchase again. I've won SEVEN pairs of earrings since mid-March. I won a subscription for statement earrings. I do not need to purchase any more and I need you guys to keep me honest.  Skincare products- There are so many people out there posting about makeup and skincare and they have a lot of products to give away. Recently, I won  Puriface Hydrogel Face Wash which can easily be purchased through Amazon if you're looking to buy. They actually sent me a link to it on Amazon which makes it look like a lot of people are purchasing it. So if someone were perusing skin care products on Amazon, their product would likely show up higher in the search results and more sales gives them mo...

My favorite part of the month is when I take a look at what I've won recently. June was a great month for me but July slowed down a little bit. However, I did decide I need to stop entering contests for things I don't even want. Overall I won 8 contests with a total value of about $350-$370 (I'm still waiting to find the exact value of one prize). Most of these were just on Instagram where you follow and tag a couple friends, one was on Facebook, and one was on Twitter. 1. @mhsweeth sent me three of their homemade candles in their most popular scents. One of them was Fruit Loops scented and it smelled like a freshly opened box. The candles were worth $24 and I'm so excited for all the scents. 2. @earthflower_herbs was giving away tea on Instagram and so few people entered that everyone one! I got a package of their Kombuchai tea worth $13. I have not tried it yet, but I think I'll end up sharing some with my roommate. 3. @puriface was giving away face wash ...
