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.

    I’m usually doing outfit checks…and since I just recently did some tile work and installed a new vanity in the bathroom, I keep staring at all the nit-picky things that still need to be done. One of which is to do something about that mirror! This would be perfect :)

    I’m usually checking to see how much I need to suck in my gut in whatever I’m wearing. :( But I’d love to do it in a prettier mirror.

    LOOK AT ME! Probably most often, it’s a quick hair fix. Though these days, with a 6-month-old, I’m lookin’ in the mirror a lot less than I used to!

    I check the mirror to make sure I’m in acceptable condition to be seen out of the house: no baby spit up on my clothes, food in my teeth, missing earrings or misbuttoned shirts!

    I stare at my eyebrows every time I am by a mirror. And if I have tweezers by me, I pluck them too. I have light skin and dark eyebrows, so those hairs show up before they even pop out of the skin.

    Oh my gosh, NEVER have I NEEDED a giveaway as much as this! We have the ugly plastic clips you mentioned, but there is also apparently super-strong adhesive behind the mirror. When we went to take it down, it wanted to take the whole plaster wall with it! So it stayed and I hate it. A frame like this would SAVE THE DAY!!

    That said, I tend to spend my mirror time checking my contact lenses, or checking for “stray eyebrows” (random hairs sprouting in inconvenient places as I get older, like on the chin!)!! Hey, just being honest! :)
