Congratulations to Laura, author of You Are What You Eat - the winner of the Deceptively Delicious Blog Blast! She’ll receive a $250 gift card for Williams Sonoma.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Blast!
——————————
Beauty products can make you look like a goddess, or they can make you look like a goofball. Not only do you need to understand how to use them, you’ve got to choose carefully. With some products, the drugstore version will do nicely. But with other products, the high-end options really are worth the money.
Beauty Confidential, written by former magazine beauty editor Nadine Haobsh, is a no-nonsense guide to what really works - from haircare to skincare to makeup. What makes the book so appealing (apart from the confidence it imparts, even to us novices) is Nadine’s self-effacing, down-to-earth style. Nadine is so easy to relate to that as you read, it feels almost as if your best friend is sharing stories of her adolescent angst and fried hair. She’s a confidante, not an icon.
In that spirit of “all girls together”, this week’s Blog Blast, sponsored by Harper Collins and Beauty Confidential, is all about beauty blunders. Whether you’ve crimped your self-highlighted hair, worn teal mascara on a day other than Halloween, or doused your skin in rubbing alcohol, we’ve all been a beauty “don’t” at one time or another. Tell us about your beauty blunders!
What can you win? The entire list of beauty editor must haves on pages 12-14 of Beauty Confidential:
- NARS blush in Orgasm
- Terax Original Crema intensive conditioner
- Essie Mademoiselle and OPI I’m Not Really a Waitress nail polish
- Mario Badescu Drying Potion
- Shu Uemura eyelash curler
- Bumble and bumble Does It All styling spray
- Cetaphil face wash
- Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1
- Lancome Definicils mascara
- Phytodefrisant balm
- Lancome Flash Bronzer Instant Colour Self-Tanning Leg Gel
- Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch
In addition, if you post a picture of your beauty blunder, you’ll be entered to win another random drawing: Five lucky winners can ask Nadine their most burning beauty question, and they’ll receive a personal answer!
