Are you a #StarbucksAtHome Night Owl? (tell us & win ANR)
When I first joined Twitter six years ago, I was amazed at how many of my new beauty Twitter friends were night owls. I’d be tweeting out beauty giveaways and all these people throughout Europe were entering and commenting on the products. And it was 2 am their time!! Many of them told me they work shift work or suffer from insomnia. Still others were university students who preferred to write essays in the middle of the night when there was complete silence. (I remember starting projects about 1 am after pub night in university) And let’s not forget new moms who are up throughout the night nursing their newborns. 3 am is actually much busier than you’d imagine.
Unfortunately, this schedule can stress your skin. That’s because the body does the majority of its repair work on skin between 11 pm and 4 am when we are usually fast asleep. Estee Lauder scientists have done a lot of research into this nighttime repair process and have identified a series of cycles that happen each night. This ChronoluxCB technology was the basis for the Advanced Night Repair serum which helps support the body’s synchronization and purification systems to fight the signs of aging. With our stressful lives and changing schedules, the body’s repair cycles can become erratic. This serum helps bring them back into optimum balance. I’m a big fan of ANR. It feels beautiful on skin.
So in honour of all my social media friends who burn the candle at both ends, I’m giving away a special #StarbucksAtHome Night Owl set containing Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair and some very good quality coffee from Starbucks (available in select grocery stores) I’ve even included a special Starbucks anniversary cup.
Caffe Verona
This dark roast coffee boasts a blend of beans from Latin America & Indonesia with a gentle touch of Italian roast. It was named after Romeo & Juliet’s hometown and pairs beautifully with chocolate.
Pike Place
This medium-roast coffee is said to be the very first coffee blend created by Starbucks and was named after the Seattle neighbourhood where the first store is located. It is smooth and balanced with a rich flavour. It featured predominantly Latin American coffee beans.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear Concealer in 2c Light Medium
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipstick in Nude Cult
If you have to hide dark circles and look fresh after a night of little sleep, I’ve included an Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer and a fresh nude lipstick. Hopefully, this set will help you feel and look more rested.
Starbucks Anniversary cup
The Giveaway: I gave away this #StarbucksAtHome + ANR set to one lucky reader. To enter, I asked readers to tell me in a blog post comment below if they are a Night Owl? Janice M told us and we drew her name from all entries. Congrats Janice!
Estee Lauder is available in Canada at Hudson’s Bay stores and thebay.com

November 15, 2017 at 10:43 amI am up all hours of the night due to just me and one child at home. I can’t turn my brain off at night. Yes being 38 I have the skin of a tired 50 year old!

November 15, 2017 at 7:41 amUnfortunately a night owl – not by choice. I have a chronic illness and pain often keeps up at night – which completely messes up any semblance of normalcy during the day. I’m actually bot surprised that a lack of restful night sleep can affect our skin, that makes total sense! I just didn’t know there were products out there to address this!

November 15, 2017 at 6:43 amI like to think I’m still a night owl but my idea of what is ‘late’ is getting earlier!

November 15, 2017 at 1:17 amHi Dave, I am a night owl and love every minute of the quietness. Sitting out on the deck sipping my coffee & watching the planes fly across and staring at the stars in the sky is so peaceful.

November 14, 2017 at 11:24 pmThat I am writing this at 4:30am is rather telling. I am so bad at sleeping at night, its when I am at my best and I want some ‘me’ time. A lovely giveaway as always, thank you 🙂 x @lastkiss5 x

November 14, 2017 at 11:13 pmI am and always have been a a night owl I remember being a young kid and being tucked into bed and waiting till I heard them go in there room and close the door and i would be up and ready with a flash light and a game or book to mess around with till the dawn broke through my curtains many nights. Since then I have never been able to brake the habit. I sleep during the day when ever possible and get up preferably 11 to 12pm. And if I have to work during the day lots and lots of coffee energy drinks and 5 hour energys and some high quality make up and I will be out the door.
Great giveaway 😉

November 14, 2017 at 10:35 pmI am a night owl. I like to stay up late. It’s when I get the most done! The only way I can get up early for work is lots and lots of starbucks coffee and yes, lots and lots of concealer for the dark circles under the eyes! You know it’s bad when you have to buy concealer that says it is industrial strength!

November 14, 2017 at 9:06 pmI live in AZ and daytime is miserable. I prefer to be up with the party people (I’m a bartender/mixologist so I prefer to be behind the bar…) but even working nights, Starbucks tends to be my savior!!
