Bare Escentuals Giveaway: Final Week Winner

Tricia Lewis, our Fashion Herald blogger, is out on maternity leave. Following is a post from her co-worker Catherine.

Over the past ten weeks, we've given away $1800 worth of Bare Escentuals products in our Bare Escentuals Giveaways. Our thanks go out to Bare Escentuals, especially Cynthia and the entire crew of the 34th Street store, and to all of our readers who entered the contents.

We're proud to announce that the final winner of the Get Started Kit and The Surprise is Anna. Send us your mailing address and shade preference and drop us a line on December 25th to let us know if you won anything with your Lucky Ticket.

You still have ten days to get your own Lucky Ticket. Find a Bare Escentuals retailer near you to purchase The Surprise. If you just can't spring for a kit right now, read the fine print to request a Lucky Ticket without purchase.

Kati, Katie and I really enjoyed stopping by the Bare Escentuals boutique and soliciting help from the experts. If you're interested in a complimentary demonstration for you and a few friends, give them a call. It's the perfect time to try out a new look for those holiday parties!

Post-Holiday Giveaway: Free Perricone

I was contacted by the Perricone people to give away some skin care products to my very worthy readers. As Sephora on 34th Street carries Perricone MD, including the featured giveaway product shown below, I couldn't resist. One of you lucky commenters will receive Perricone's Advanced Face Firming Activator that retails for $120. Here's the official Perricone word:

"Advanced Face Firming Activator transforms skin to appear firm, toned and absolutely glowing, while preventing further damage. Formulated with Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE that work synergistically to visibly resurface the skin's texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, and reveal a radiant and healthy complexion."

Is not beauty copy writing some of the most persuasive writing in the advertising world? I used to browse Sephora on 34th Street for ages reading skin care descriptions and wallowing in the ensuing agony of how, for years, I had been grossly denying my skin such essential TLC. Well, leave a comment below and stop letting your skin lay the big guilt trip on you. Here's the rules:

• Let's make it fun: Tell me what skin care product you spent oodles of $$ on that did nothing for your skin. Or...
• Perhaps you carry no skin care product baggage, bitterness, or anger? Tell me what you love, share the wealth!
•  Contest ends next Monday, July 13th, at noon. Winners will be chosen by a drawing. You'll be entered in the drawing if you give up a little skin care dirt, as listed above. US readers only.

Bon chance!

Sephora, 130 W. 34th St. between Broadway & 7th
