A La Mode

Sorry for being asleep at the switch ladies, May and June are INSANE in my world. Have no fear, I'm back with a wonderful giveaway to share and news of a neat local cosmetics company that's making headlines (and swell beauty products). MODE Cosmetics, based right here in the 518, is offering a pair of their new Lip Glazes to one lucky Upstate and Personal fan. These cuties are made here in the Empire State from natural ingredients (sweet almond oil!) and without animal testing. Mode's products are also minimally packaged to avoid waste, and the lip glazes make the perfect addition to your summer beauty routine. What's this routine, you ask? Minimal, minimal, minimal... think: tinted moisturizer/ a sweep of bronzer, mascara and a pop of gloss on your lips. That's it.

So what's a girl need to do to win this killer, local beauty loot? Simply post your favorite local or online style or beauty tip in the comments section below or on the Upstate and Personal Facebook page. I'll have my uber-honest husband pick a random winner early next week. Click here for more info on this great local company, or check your local Hannaford or Price Chopper for their products.
