What: The Quasar Power Pack (valued at $799), which includes two skin-improving light therapy devices, the wrinkle-reducing Baby Quasar and the bacteria-killing Baby Blue.

Between the two of them, these devices can be used to address basically the whole gamut of skin concerns, from acne to aging to reducing inflammation and oil.

Why: The Quasar line is a safe and relatively affordable (especially if you win) way to make your skin look better. It can decrease all kinds of skin imperfections – blemishes, rosacea, fine lines, age spots, enlarged pores – and is side-effect free and completely painless.

Each treatment takes about 30 minutes – kind of like a skin treatment at the spa, without the commute time or the claustrophobic little room.

How: Scan the site and see what the Baby Quasar can do, then leave a comment about what you’d want to use it for. Of course, we think you look great just the way you are…but a little skin refining never hurts.

This week we’re giving away a big box of beauty stuff from our closet, and all you have to do to enter is go here and leave a comment about your favorite summer beauty find.

We’re impressed with your dedication to SPF, bronzers, and other generally good-for-you beauty habits that prevent skin from taking in too much sun.

If you haven’t entered yet, tell us your favorite summer beauty product for a chance to win a box full of new ones.

Right now (and into next week) you can enter to win the two fabulous prizes we’re currently giving away: a $250 gift card to AVELLE, and a copy of Mandi Norwood’s new book, Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion.

We all kind of want the book because we adore the First Lady’s style (Bryn’s so enthusiastic that she even left a comment, even though she’s not eligible to enter). And who wouldn’t want $250 worth of handbags and accessories?

You know you want to enter.

What: Five copies of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home: No-Nonsense Advice That Will Inspire You to Clean Like the Dickens , Thelma Meyer’s practical, tip-filled guide to keeping your house in order. She’s the namesake behind Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Home Products, so she knows a thing or two about a spotless countertop.

Why: Because really, we (and we figure, probably you too) should know how to clean things better.

How: Leave a comment below with your no-fail cleaning tip – for clothes, dishes, furniture, whatever – and we’ll enter you for a chance to win.

And just in case you’re desperate, Mrs. Meyer has shared five of her most helpful tips with us below. Read ‘em, and tell us your own for a chance to win.

1. Washing a burned pot:
Fill the pot with equal parts water and vinegar, add some salt, heat the mixture over a medium flame until the vinegar boils, and then remove the pot from the heat and let it soak overnight.

2. Getting hairspray and toothpaste off a mirror:
Pour rubbing alcohol on a cloth and clean in small circles. You can also use a baby wipe, if you have one of those handy. Then grab your club-soda spray bottle and give the mirror a spritz, wiping it clean with some bunched-up newspaper.

3. Cleaning up broken glass:
If a mirror falls on a tile floor, you may get seven years of bad luck – and you’ll definitely get little shards all over the place. To make sure you remove all those pieces, dab a piece of bread on top of them. (Yes, white bread will grab some of those small, sharp pieces.) Vacuum, then wipe down the floor with a water-dampened cloth. Be very careful when you wring it out.

4. Taking pet hair off upholstery:
Put on a pair of rubber gloves, pass your hands quickly under the faucet, and wipe down the upholstery in long strokes. And don’t forget to tackle the source: Brush Fido and Fluffy regularly to remove any excess hair before it makes its way onto your favorite love seat.

5. Loosening a stuck drawer:
Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to open a dresser drawer that just won’t budge. So rub a candle – or a bar of soap – on the top, bottom, and sides of the drawer. That will loosen it up in no time.

After you enter, don’t forget to stop by MomFinds for a chance at this week’s Win it Wedneday prize.
