Fab Freebie: Here’s Looking At You, Mate

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Good news: everyone can get 10% off their MirrorMate order with code VIRAL. And if they get 1000 new Facebook followers or new email subscribers, that code doubles to 20% for everyone. But here’s the better news (at least for one of you): random.org has chosen our winner as… Jessica (who says she’s usually checking the mirror to “make sure nothing is obviously out of place or gross”). Congrats!

So maybe I fudged that line from Casablanca a little. Thanks for letting it slide. It’s turning out to be a mirror-tastic day today, so if you’re stuck with a basic builder mirror that’s held up unceremoniously by dinky plastic clips, this is your shot to score an easy and elegant upgrade thanks to MirrorMate. You can customize a frame that sticks right over your existing clips, for a nice little mirror makeover. Check out more before & afters (and shop their collection of frame styles) here on their site (and on their Facebook page).

Mirror Mate Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $200 gift certificate to MirrorMate, which will cover most frames.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LOOK AT ME! and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … confess what you spend the most time looking at when you’re in front of a mirror. Are you always fixing your hair? Doing outfit checks? Making sure nothing’s in your teeth. Or – be honest – are you constantly leaning in to examine every last pore on your face?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 8th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The US and Canada
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from MirrorMate.

    “LOOK AT ME!” I’m always checking out my hair – does not have to be a mirror either! Any reflection will do – I just hope no one notices! Haha!

    “LOOK AT ME!” Lately I am spending time looking at the reflection of our renovated bathroom. I’m so grateful we got to finally give it a makeover and have only a couple more details to finish including… framing the mirrors! I think this is destiny… ;)

    My pores, definitely, I probably cause more damage with the constant picking and inspecting, but I can’t help myself.

    Since my six month old was born I spend much less time in the mirror obsessing over pores and hair placement and now just check to make sure I don’t have spit up dripping down my back. :)

    My friends make fun of me because I will find and stare at my reflection in anything. Microwave, Window, etc. It isn’t a “I think I am so pretty and must stare all the time. I just like to make sure I look put together.”

    Seriously, after having a baby, I just haven’t had any time to look in the mirror, which may explain how messy I look when I get into work LOL.

    But luckily I do carry a compact mirror, and I use it to see if I have anything on my face that shouldn’t be there (i.e. ketchup or chocolate).

    I’m not gonna lie…I usually look at my shirt

    1) Is it hitting the middle of my butt?…
    too high=butt too big…
    too low=…well butt too big!

    2) Is it clinging to anything… backfat? muffin-top? that chubby spot above my bellybutton?

    PS I have that SAME horrible, plain, clear plastic tab mirror
