Giveaway Break - Coolil Adi Bakshi Scarf

If you've been reading Lipgloss Break for awhile now, you'll know that I have an obsession with scarves. It started when I was India, and when the scarf trend started here, I was already ahead of the game.

A new type of scarf I have my eye on are the Coolil Adi Bakshi fashion scarves. These scarves can make a whole outfit, or act as an accessory. They come in a variety of colors, including olive green, bright pink, yellow, purple and grey. They are currently on sale for $30.99.
