December 30, 2009/

If you haven't seen the latest Macy's catalog insert with it's special Beauty Scene edition, I am here with the highlights.

Each page contains a great beauty tip and some of the latest and greatest skin care beauty wonders.

I am anxious to try a few of the new products they highlight, and promise to bring you reviews or information on these soon.

There is also a special code for receiving free shipping at Macys.com with a $65.00 beauty purchase (code: SPECIAL), and all Macy's beauty counters will be staffed with extra skin care specialists over the weekend. If you spend $65 in store, you will get a free tote bag with some mesh cosmetic bags and skin care tools. So, if you are wondering about that product you read about or have a specific skin care concern, then head over to Macy's this weekend to chat with one of them for some great advice and recommendations.

Last Chance to Enter the 4th Annual Softlips® Picture Perfect Lips Model Search; ends December 31, 2009!

Here are the details!

Instead, enter the Softlips® Picture Perfect Lips Search, sponsored for the fourth year by the popular Softlips® lip conditioning line of products. The 2009 winner will receive a cash prize of $2,500, a year’s supply of Softlips® lip care products, the possibility of becoming a professional lip model, and the prestige of having the prettiest pucker in America, which will be posted online for all to see at www.softlips.com.

In addition to the grand-prize winner, there are also ten runners-up chosen by the judges who will take home a year supply of Softlips® lip care products, including a variety of flavors of the original Softlips® lip balm line (with SPF 20) and the new 100% natural, USDA-certified-organic Softlips® PURE line.

For the 2009 contest, there is the addition of a special “Fan Favorite” feature, as well, allowing Web site visitors to vote on their top choices from all the entries. The “Fan Favorite” will have received the most votes online, winning a year-supply of Softlips® lip products, as well.

The Softlips® Picture Perfect Lips Search is open to legal female U.S. residents, age 13 or older, and entrants will be judged by a panel of expert judges, including Danielle Korwin, president of the Parts Models modeling agency in New York City, the only modeling firm in the U.S. that specializes in parts models only – lips, eyes, hands, feet, etc.
