What’s Your Virtue?

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.”  IMG_0105

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.all_products

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.

Tinell said...

Praise God that there is a new product that doesnt promote young women to be sexy and glamorous. Raising two young girls, I find that the media is 'selling sex' EVERYWHERE!! I pray that their business is incredibly successful and I'll be ordering some gloss for my girls Easter baskets. Keep up the great work!!

Love, love, love these.

Stacey@Glitter and Grass Stains said...

I agree. Girls of all ages need some positive reinforcement when it comes to self-esteem and realize that it doesn't need to come from having some stupid guy staring at a logo plastered across their backsides!

Mary Jane said...

Success is speaking words of praise
In cheering other peoples ways,
In doing just the best you can with
every task and every plan. Its silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbors curt.
Its deafness when the scandal flows
Its sympathy with others woes. Its Loyalty when duty calls, Its courage when disaster falls. Its patience when the hours are long. Its found in laughter and in song. Its in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair. In all of life and nothing less, We find the thing we call success! This is my favorite poem and i'm sure if you pick me- the lipgloss will be a new favorite!

Maggie said...

Those are adorable!

cindy said...
