All you have to do to win is visit her blog, become a follower and fill in a form to let her know what your favourite eye makeup product is.
I’m using this lotion too at the moment (proper review to follow soon) and so far I’m loving it! It can be used all over your body, absorbs quickly and leaves skin smooth and hydrated. In addition, the lotion is loaded with Aloe Vera which has moisturizing, soothing and healing properties.
