Truth be told, I consider myself quite a liberal personality. That is, until it comes to young girls—not only the message they send to others, but the message we as adults send to them. Enter “What’s Your Virtue?”
When Amy, Molly, and Sara contacted me about a giveaway for their product, the moment I understood the message behind it, I nearly jumped out of my seat.
Here’s what their site has to say:
“…an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for girls but for women everywhere.…a company founded by three friends who believe beauty starts from within.”
The ladies at What’s Your Virtue have graciously offered a lucky commenter an entire set like you see pictured. I’m not much of a make up wearer, but I’m pretty much addicted to this lip gloss. Consider yourself forewarned.
Simply leave a comment in order to be entered. I’ll announce the lucky winner Wednesday night.
Can’t wait until then and wanna purchase a set to give one to every strong, beautiful, self-respecting woman in your life? Simply head on over to What’s Your Virtue and enter chris15 to receive 15% off your order! How great is that???
P.S. My name is a coupon code. They have no idea what that did for my ego.

1 – 200 of 473 Newer› Newest»I'm new to reading your blog and giveaways. I'm not sure how that works. I was just happy to see this company promoting such wonderful virtues instead of "sexy" "flirty" "glamorous" which we are constantly seeing from other cosmetic companies.
I love this idea - would love to win and to share these products with my neices.
Thanks for the opportunity
I love lip gloss!!!!
Your first sentence about liberal values until it comes to the messages we send to women and girls fits me to a tee. I cringe when I see words like "hottie" on children. Love the virtues they chose too. Not too often women are encouraged to be curious.
Great giveaway friend!
Would love to win!
Layla :-)
Love the concept, need more companies like this.
I love it!
I am addicted to lip gloss! I think these just might feed my addition.

Oh I love this idea! I agree with the others. I don't want to give my girls the impression that "sexy" and "flirty" are the only things people value.

I love that this product is designed to highlight the importance of beauty coming from the inside. It is a wonderful approach in such a secular world. Thanks ladies, for your work in bringing a positive message to both girls and women everywhere!
What an awesome product! We need more companies like that. And I looove lip gloss!!

Sharon
What a great idea for young ladies and a wonderful reminder for "experienced" women as well. :)
new reader/commentor, LOVE this lipgloss and the story behind it! Hope I win :)
We totally share this addiction of lip gloss :) I wish I could take you on a video tour of the places I stash it...in the car, a few in the purse, in the drawer next to the kitchen sink, in my bed night stand, and my personal favorite the one in the base of the fake tree next to my spot on the couch in the tv room ha ha ha.
I love it!!! These would be just perfect for my Young Women's group.
I love lip gloss and I love a good message!
Lip gloss! I love it!
Love the message this sends! Thanks for the giveaway :)
My friend told me about these awhile back and I think it is such a fantastic idea...what a better message to send...
I love the idea of this lip gloss and I love lip gloss. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
What a great idea!!
Brilliant idea! I totally agree with the first comment. It reminds me of a friend's preteen daughter that got a body spray she liked, but had to scribble out the name because she felt it offensive (sexy)! I'd love to win and send her a tube!
They look FUN! And who doesn't something new to pamper themselves. What a fun giveaway!
I also don't wear makeup, but I can't live without my tube of chapstick or my fave lip gloss!
I love lip gloss!
pick me!!!! PLEASE
My daughter would be so excited if I won this...that is if I share with her! Ha ha! Thanks for the giveaway.

What a great product for our girls. I am the mom to a very modest, beautiful, virtuous, fifteen year old and would love for her to have something like this. She wears very little makeup and this would be neat for her to have. Bravo to this company.
Blessings, Amy
My daughter would LOVE this!!!
very cool, love lipgloss!
This is refreshing especially because my husband just received the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition in the mail.
I was so disappointed to see four of our female Olympic athletes (in snowboarding and skiing) featured so provacatively.
I love companies that promote good values for young women rather than more skankiness and sleeze.
Awesome.
I love lip gloss and love this creative idea of the wording.
Looks wonderful!
What a fun idea...and my face could SO use dome sprucing up right now :)
I need all those virtues! This product looks great.
I have wanted to try these forever! Super cute idea!
What a great idea! I would love to win!
I love it! Make up with meaning!
How refreshing! As a mom of two growing girls, I love to see such a great product. Way to go ladies!!!
Sue Ryan
What a wonderful, refreshing idea! And I, like you, am not much of a make-up wearer, but I do love me some lip gloss!
Love it! Hope I win ;)
What a fantastic idea! I have a daughter and am always trying to instill in her confidence and the ability to be a powerful girl (and woman when she grows up). And it helps that I LOVE lip gloss! Thanks for this opportunity.
What a cool idea! Young women need positive messages.
what a great idea!!! I would love to win!

Oh my! I so need the lip gloss. I have 2 young girls! This is such a great idea. I also struggle trying to teach my children opposite of what they are getting through media and their friends. I don't just teach these things to my girls, but also my Son. I don't like the stereo types for him either. Thanks for mentioning this wonderful topic!

What a great idea to empower girls and women with lip gloss. I love the idea behind it and who wouldn't love some great lip gloss?
love the concept! We all need a little positive woman power every once and awhile!
Exactly the virtues we are teaching our daughters. Awesome!
Love, love lip gloss!
What a great idea. Lip gloss is my must have!
Wow, I love this idea. I teach first grade and I already have girls that wear makeup and heels to school. I think our girls need to understand that beauty comes from character!
I just came across your blog the other day and I am hooked. You are truly talented!
This is an awesome giveaway!
This is a great idea! What a fabulous concept behind the lip gloss...not just for profit, but nice that they thought the names and such through :)
I'm always game to try new lipgloss! Would love to win! Thanks!
Wow! What a beautiful and inspiring set of lip gloss, just what I find your blog to be. I come here for inspiration and always find beauty!
I am an addict, of lipgloss that is;}
It is great to see women promoting good virtues for other women and especially young girls; we need more women like these three; who care about the way young girls perceive themselves.
Thanks for the opprotunity!
I agree!! Great idea!
TY! :)
Love me some lip gloss! And lip gloss with values is even better!
Love it! I think I would give it to my daughter, or maybe not. :) tracy tsollami (at) yahoo.com
What an awesome, positive idea! I love this! And on the selfish side... I hope I win. I never win anything! :)
I LoVe lip gloss
What a great concept! Crossing my fingers that I win :-)
I love this idea. We are constantly trying to make sure we compliment our daughther on her "inside" beauty, because that's what really counts. Plus, I adore cosmetics...so this is great!
love the idea and the product! i hope i win so i can share with my sisters, my mom and my daughter!
Oh man, I am a lip gloss nut!! How awesome that they combined such gorgeous colors with such a positive message. I'd love to win these and share them with my 15 year old sister and her friends. With all the magazines depicting their version of beauty (skinny girls with skimpy outfits), teen girls forget what real beauty is (smart girls who respect themselves).
I am a lip gloss aholic lol. As the mom of a 19 and 21 year old daughter I have to say that I love the women of this line. Girls today are bombarded with ads to destroy their self image and I have to give a big high five to these women!
Lip gloss = LOVE! Hopefully more companies will start promoting these same virtues and values. This is awesome!
I love these products!! I'm going to have to show these to my 11 yr old daughter! She's in middle school now which means her life is full of drama!
Lip gloss is so much fun--half lipstick, half chapstick so you don't need a mirror to apply it. And you can do it at the restaurant table after you eat without feeling cheesy.
what a great idea for a postive endorsement for girls and women... I love this idea and it seems like a long time coming!! congrats to the three ingenious ladies!!
Congratulations on being a coupon code...that is so cool! LOL
Thanks for the giveaway, love your blog!
livelaughscrap88 at gmail dot com
Oh man! I'd love to win! My girls and I would come unglued if we got all of those lovely lip glosses!
Love it! Great idea and great colors. Who doesn't need a little lip virtue in this snowy winter?
blessings,

Love gloss...great giveaway.
I love this:)
ensor.jennifer@gmail.com
This is a great giveaway! I love lipgloss!
I think I could maybe look over the fact that you hate New Kids on the Block if I won : )
I love this...and I agree with so many other comments that seeing these virtues rather than "sexy" or "flirty" is fantastic. Especially since my 4 year old is already starting to get in to lip glosses, I would much rather her get this message than the others!
What a great idea! I love the positive messages. Thanks for a great giveaway. princesspat22(at)gmail(dot)com
Lip gloss and a great message ... what a fantastic idea! Good luck to these ladies.
LOVE this!!......and since I can't physically leave the house without lip gloss.......well, this would be just perfect!!
~TidyMom
I love lipgloss. Thanks for a great giveaway. Love & blessings from NC!
Great giveaway and idea! I know the perfect little girl to give these to.
Great idea! And such a change from what we are bombarded with everyday.
sylviarj at yahoo dot com
Great giveaway! I would love to win.
i love your pictures, thanks for the giveaway!
Great idea, and great colors. Thanks!
What a sweet idea. Love any company that promotes a positive message to women. And who doesn't love lip gloss!
My 2-year old has seized my lip gloss collection! Help Momma get her gloss back!
Fun giveaway! My girls and I would love those!♥
I have read about this stuff on several blogs I follow. My not so girly girl is beginning to look at make up...this would be a fun way to get her started.
Good for you to feature a group of women like this!
and oh! oh! PICK ME!
There is nothing better than a lipgloss giveaway!! Hook me up!
I love it!
here's to hoping I win...
Love these, so refreshing!!
This is a great idea. I love it when the rare company out there opts for a positive message!
I've seen these lip glosses in blogland before. What a great concept!! I'd love to win them too :)
This is AWESOME! I have 3 nieces that are in age between 17-19 and this would be prefect for them. I love when companies want to send a possitive message.
alain0207@msn.com
What a great idea! I love it.
I love lip gloss! I never wear lipstick, its gloss all the way!! I love that these lips gloss have something other than "sexy" or whatever it is the other ones say! This is a great product!
I love seeing this kind of thing. I consider myself an "old school" mom even though I'm not that old. I think more moms should promote this kind of thing. I'd be happy to wear this lip gloss!!!
Ooh! A whole SET of lip gloss!? Fabulous, I hope I win!
necklacebliss(at)gmail(dot)com
What a wonderful product concept! As a mom to a middle school aged daughter, I am constantly fighting the battle of tasteful and appropriate while still fulfilling her desire for cute. This product definitely fits the bill. Thanks for the introduction!
I just went to the website for these products and I really love the idea behind their creations. I have 2 daughters, 5 & 3, but I'm already realizing that they pick up on certain words and moods. It's great to know that products like this exist and what a nice treat for that sweet young lady in your life (or ahem, 30 something too).
173 comments!!! and I thought it wouldn't be difficult to win a giveaway :( especially because we don't have this product where I live.
No problem. I like your take on product messages though. its so important to play that power right.
What a lovely notion, to remind us that Kindness should be 'on our lips', rather than "Look at me, look at me". Well done, ladies!
What a great idea!!! the message on the lip gloss are great...and I loooove lip gloss, and love your blog too!!!!
what a perfect gift for all the teen girls in my life! I hope I win!
What a neat idea! I hope I win! :)
Oh that is so cute! Hope I win! :)
-Bekah
Love the concept... Your blog is great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love these. My daughter would love them.
I've been strictly a lipstick wearer and been wanting to venture out and try lip gloss, so I think you've convinced me to try it! Would love to win these!
i'd love to win these, I am in the need for a new brand of lipgloss to love and cherish. My old brand is too expensive and I'm having a hard time finding something new I like. Lipgloss is HARD.
Sounds fabulous! And who doesn't love a good lipgloss.
I grew up with four sisters, and now I have a daughter of my own... so I am loving the idea of building up women from within and letting their virtue shine through! Love the lip gloss, love the message!
Sweet - I too am addicted to lip glosses and would love to win!
- Danielle
What a great product...I love the message! Having 2 girls, these "say" so much.
I love lip gloss, and a chance to try a new one? Oh heck ya! :) Thanks for great giveaway.
I have two girls...and appreciate the message. Pick me, pick me! Thanks, Heather R. heather_richter@hotmail.com
What a great giveaway! I love the idea & meaning behind the lip gloss...hope I win :)
Those lip glosses are such a wonderful idea!!! Pick me!! I'll share them all my friends!
I LOVE the idea behind those! I think we, as a society, have got to do a better job with our tween/teen girls. This is a great way to encourage them!
what a wonderful giveaway!
Great giveaway. I'd love to share them with my granddaughters!
OH yay! I am also a lip gloss lover- and so are my two girls. Which is why I am in desperate need of MORE!
I like this idea and the colors are nice! Thanks for the chance!
