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 definitely spend the most of my time in front of the mirror inspecting my pores…it’s become part of my nightly ritual.

    LOOK AT ME! I’m usually just doing the required check to ensure nothing is in my teeth and my hair looks halfway decent. In fact, I should probably spend more time looking in mirrors…

    I spend my time looking at the counter-top reflection, in all it’s plastic, 1970’s blue-swirl beauty. Framing the mirror would be a welcome distraction!

    Look at me!! Oh my goodness, I am so excited to know about this project! I was going to buy some crown molding to make a frame for our guest bathroom mirror, but have been worried about the project because I know cutting crown molding is hard. I will definitely be looking into this product. And, what do I do most when looking in the mirror…close my eyes! Ha! Just kidding. Usually it is fiddling with my hair in some way.

    I always look in the mirror to make sure my love handles aren’t bulging out when I get dresses if so, then I find a looser shirt or most of the time I end up wearing a t-shirt. I hate bulging love handles! lol

    LOOK AT ME! I do like to look in the mirror a lot, but this is for science of course. I’ll crawl up on the counter with my feet in the sink and examine every pore and stray eyebrow hair. I was a professional pimple popper in high school, so yes, I like to look in the mirrow.

    I usually look in the mirror before I leave the house to make sure I don’t look too ridiculous. :)

    Also? This giveaway is perfect for my husband and I, who just bought a new home with builder grade mirrors in all three bathrooms – we’d love to be able to update them!
