Urban Cowgirl: 5 Minutes to Gorgeous

We love products that actually deliver on their promise, so we’re happy to tell you that the 5 Minutes to Gorgeous kit from Urban Cowgirl not only lives up to its name but may even give you some extra time to admire yourself in the mirror.

Tucked into a pretty-in-pink paisley bag – which is a much more effective way to keep your morning routine organized than, say, smushing it all into a drawer – are a handful of make-up must-haves plus the brushes to apply them perfectly. There’s a creamy concealer, protein-packed blush, eye-opening shadow and liner, mascara and lip-smacking gloss.

We’ve been wary of kits before because too often you end up paying for products that you don’t want or just aren’t flattering. What makes 5 Minutes to Gorgeous so different is that it lets you choose from a variety of shades or customize it completely to complement your skin tone. And each product works together to insure a smooth, finished look. There are even tutorials and how-to videos on their website.

With its “by girls, for girls” philosophy, Urban Cowgirl is our kind of company. In addition to making sure her products are filled with healthy ingredients and created using cutting-edge technology, founder Margeaux Mann has also launched the non-profit “Back in the Saddle.” This innovative and important program helps young women suffering from difficult illnesses and treatments by providing makeovers and much-needed support.

We’re so excited to give away a 5 Minutes to Gorgeous kit to one lucky StyleSubstanceSoul subscriber. This is an $88 value, and all you have to do to enter is fill out the form in our Giveaways section. For a second chance to win, just leave a comment below.

Yee haw!
