The Clinique Lash Power Challenge.

Are you a bride to be? Or perhaps you have a sister, friend, aunt, cousin, or colleague that will be making that infamous walk down the aisle this wedding season? You need to tell them about this great promotion from Clinique and Brides.com. It is called the Clinique Lash Power Challenge.

Clinique and Brides.com have teamed up together to invite brides-to-be across the country to put Clinique's NEW Lash Power Mascara to the test.

From April 1 - June 30, Clinique will provide a FREE sample of Clinique Lash Power Mascara for every submission on Clinique.Brides.com. 

Whether they are crying tears of joy or swimming on her honeymoon, this mascara will stay on all day and remain smudge-free.

Tell all the future brides you know to check it out, because there is  also a chance to win a beautiful pair of platinum and diamond earrings valued at almost $5,000. AND - runners up will score a FREE Clinique makeup artist on their wedding day.  Now, that is something to cry about, right?

Lash Power Mascara  is a 24 hour mascara that applies with a precision brush and special formula. Similar to the tube your lash concept( but not nearly as harsh), this formula naturally lengthens and separates lashes (without flaking or clumping, of course) leaving lashes thicker and fuller, with a somewhat natural and feathered look.  Lash Power needs warm water and very gentle pressure to be removed.

The full size tube is available now at your favorite Clinique counter or online at the Clinique website for $14. But you do want to score a sample, don't you? Log onto the special site and take the Clinque Lash Power Challenge to try it on them.

MAX Factor ColorGenius Blush.

What a fabulous concept. Not just one blush color or two, but three complimentary shades of mineral blush powder in one single compact.

MAX Factor ColorGenius Blush comes in three color palettes, perfect for Spring. There is the Roses Palette, Peaches Palette, or Spices Palette. I am loving the Peaches palette right now, but will up the color quotient to the Spices Palette as I start my self-tanning (which should be happening any day now!).

 

You know how well this blush worked because the super-star makeup artist Pat McGrath developed this product for the models during Spring/Summer 2008 New York Fashion Week. And you know those girls looked great.

The mineral formula is made up of ultra-fine pigments and colorants that it is so very easy to blend. The formula even contains emollients for a more natural look, as it makes for a soft and even application.

Of course, ColorGenius Blush, along with all the other great MAX Factor products can easily be picked up at your favorite drugstore or mass merchandiser like Target or Walmart for $8.49. 

Makeup Searcher Asks - What is your favorite lipgloss shade?

I have so many lipgloss favorites, but they really tend to vary from season to season. I tend to apply more darker berry and mocha shades in the colder months; bronzes, pinks, peaches, and golds in the warmer months.

Currently I am obsessed with my Chantecaille gloss in Mimoso (the one I just bought over the weekend) and the new Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Guavagold (from the upcoming Long-Last Bronze Summer Collection). It is no surprise that they are almost the same color. Just one goes on with a finger or brush and the other with a lipgloss wand.

What is your current favorite lipgloss shade? Let me know in the comments. I am always looking for more great shades to add to my never-ending collection.
