Biore Skincare Sweepstakes!

Biore is hosting a "2 week challenge" sweepstakes. The idea is to use their products for 2 weeks and see how clear your skin will get. Log in every day for an entry into the grand prize (a shopping spree in NYC!), but there's also a daily instant win, where you can get prizes like gift cards. They'll send you reminder emails (although you can opt-out) which will include beauty tips, and you also get a $2 off coupon just for signing up! The details are all on their Facebook page.
