Willa Skincare Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

It's that time again - the time for another great Willa skincare review!  Except this time there is going to be a giveaway involved.... sounds cool, right?  Well, be prepared to have fun learning about your skin, then, get the chance to WIN your skin over with great Willa products.

What Willa Skincare is about:

  

Willa, a natural skincare company made specially for tween/teen girls, has grown year after to year to produce great skincare for young skin.  I especially love Willa's slogan:  Start Young.  Stay Young.  What a good way to put it, because that is what Willa is all about.  As Willa says, "You need to love the way you feel." 

How Willa Started:

  

Willa's mom, Christy Prunier, noticed it was time to start buying her then 8-year-old daughter her own natural skincare products after seeing how Willa didn't like using her younger sister's childish products.

That made Christy think back to her own skin; how she had her first facial skin cancer.  Of course she didn't want that to happen to her daughters, so she went to work at finding natural skincare for them. Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything that didn't involve nasty ingredients, so Willa skincare was born.

Natural Ingredients:

I especially love all the natural ingredients in Willa skincare.  This is one way on how they stand out from the rest.

Here are a few ingredients that can be found in Willa:

green tea extract
lavender water & extract
aloe leaf juice
grape seed oil
jojoba seed oil




Willa Products:





One of my most favorite products is the Start Fresh Foaming Face Wash ($17.00).  It is so gentle, and it removes dirt and oil to reveal great clear skin.





This Smile Shimmer ($9.50) feels so great on your lips, no matter what flavor you get!  Choose from watermelon, mint, and mandarin flavors.  Helps with chapped and sore lips and has a fashionable clip, so you can take it on the go!





On the Go Face Towelettes ($4.50, 10 count) work perfect for an on-the-go clean and for when you can't reach your foaming face wash.




This amazing Fresh Face Cucumber Face Mask ($4.00 each) works great for acne, and helps reveal a more radiant you.  Also works perfect for sleepovers.


Giveaway:

Finally - giveaway time!  First, I would like to say I was beyond excited about having the opportunity to review and give away Willa skincare.  I love it so much, if you haven't noticed already. :)

You could win a Willa Smile Shimmer, Willa face mask, and Willa towelettes(10 ct) ($18.00 value)!  

1.  There will be one winner for this giveaway. 

2.  Any girl ages 6-30 can enter, even if you won a contest/giveaway in the month of January, you can enter this one.  Because this is one of the biggest contests we have had.  

3.  Only ONE entry per person.   

4.  Contest begins January 31, 2014 at 9 AM EST and ends February 10, 2014 at 9 AM EST.  

5.  Winners will be chosen on or around February 10, 2014 at random.  

Good luck!

I know your going to love Willa as much as I do! :)  And I heard that they are going to start something called a "Willa Ambassadors" program where girls can sell their own Willa skincare and learn about what it takes to have a business.  Seems really cool, if you ask me!  Enjoy (your skin!)

And as Willa says,  xo.  

You can follow Willa on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.  

Thanks Willa skincare for allowing me to have this opportunity! :)  And thanks Amanda for the Willa banner!  It looks awesome!

Please fill out the form below.  If there is more than one person in your household entering, please be sure to use a different e-mail address for each person.  If you enter more than once, School and Sun Tans has all rights to remove you from this giveaway.

And the Winners Are....

Finally.  The moment you've all been waiting for!  The winners of our not one, not two, but THREE contests!

First I am going to start out with the winner of our "Finish the Story" contest.  All of our e-mail contacts got the chance to finish a story that I wrote.  And we got some great entries!  

Winner of the Finish the Story contest:

Rachel!  For sending in a story that shows loving and care.  Perfect since it is so close to Valentine's Day!  

(NOTE:  All other entries can be found on the "Stories" page.)

Check out the story Rachel finished:

I suddenly awake to a loud, noisy sound coming from outside my bedroom door.  It seems like it might be coming from the hallway.  It sounds like rocks and metal banging against each other in a box.  Maybe in is just my parents'.  I glance over at my alarm clock.  It is only two in the morning.  What would my parents' be doing up this early? Telling myself that it is nothing, I close my eyes, ready to fall into a deep sleep.  But something seems.... strange.  I open my eyes and still hear the loud noise.  The sound should have already stopped.  I quietly pull the covers off of me and place my feet on the soft floor below me.  I float over to the door, and, very quietly, open it.  I peek outside in the little crack for me to see, and gasp when I see what is making that loud, nerve-racking sound.  I didn't expect to see what I am staring at now.  

Yikes! It’s my 4 year old brother! He’s shaking pencils in a tin as he exclaims, "April fools!” He runs off in order to avoid my frenzy.  

I run to his room and see him giggling under his blue, fluffy quilt.   I dash up to him and scoop him up into a big bear hug. I never guessed it could be only him!  “I’m sorry if I scared you, sissy, but you have to do something on April fools!” He whimpers.  

“But it’s not April fools, silly!  It’s only January!” I laugh.  

“Oh. Well, I’ll make sure next time before I scare you.” He giggles.  

“Ok.” I whisper as I place him under his covers.  I kiss his cheeks and see his eyelids flutter closed. 

After I carefully tip-toe back to my room, I think about his little face and all the anger that I could have emitted flutters away. I drift off to sleep, dreaming of 4 year old brothers.

Winners of the Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter contest:

Amanda and Hailey!  Thank you for sending in some awesome pics!  Amanda sent in the great picture of some awesome rainboots!  The background makes the scene look picture perfect!

Hailey sent in a very fashionable scarf with zig-zags.... love it!

Winners of the No Chapped = Pretty Lips giveaway:

Aqwa Autumn!  You get to have your choice of flavor Chapstick!  

Congrats to all of the winners!  If you could please e-mail me for your prize!  Also, thank you for all the other entries we received.  If you didn't win, no problem!  Our next contest is going to be next month.  Check back then!  But until then, keep up with our great reviews, stories, gift ideas, and more, sent in by girls like you!  And be a good sport by saying congrats to the winners!  xo
