Play To Win

You're going to want to play philosophy’s new “gingerbread man instant win game.”  The online game starts tomorrow (November 3rd) and can be played daily.  Every week for the next six weeks, a different holiday prize will be given to 5 lucky winners every day.  Plus, at the end of the six weeks, one person will win the grand prize, which is kind of awesome.  One lucky person will receive a $2,500 philosophy shopping spree.  (Told you it was awesome).  You can only play the game once per day, but you'll be entered to win the grand prize every time you play, so the more you do it, the better your chances are.

You can see the list of weekly prizes by clicking on the image above.  Starting tomorrow, you can play the game at philosophy.com/gingerbreadman (it will also be featured on the philosophy.com home page).  Good luck!

Pout-à-Porter Returns

This is exciting news.  Lancôme is bringing back the Pout-à-Porter Lipstick series!  The last four lipsticks that they released in that collection were gorgeous (they included collaborations with uber-designers Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, Peter Som and Thakoon). All four of the shades sold out (one Proenza Pink lipstick even sold for $122.50 on eBay!) 
 
For Spring 2010, Lancôme is collaborating with up and coming designer Chris Benz and in honor of that, they're doing a lipstick naming contest that was announced on Chris Benz’s Facebook fan page today.  The new shade will be inspired by Chris’ Spring 2010 collection and will be worn by the models at his show in September. The contest winner gets a fantastic five tubes of the lipsticks PLUS a $500 Lancôme gift certificate.  All you have to do is post your shade name suggestion on Chris’ Facebook fan page based on what you know about Chris and his fashion personality.   (You can find his page here).  The deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 12th, at 5 p.m. EST, so put your thinking caps on!  (I just went to the page myself and someone suggested calling it "Boobular."  Heeeee!)

Win A Trip to Los Angeles!

Physicians Formula is one of my favorite drugstore brands (their new Smoky Eye Shimmer Strip shadows are gorgeous!)  And now they've teamed up with Brickfish to give away a ton of great prizes.  Here's what you can win:

Grand Prize: One winner from the top 200 highest scoring entries will be whisked away to Los Angeles for a makeover with celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip, whose clients include Christina Applegate, Eva Longoria and Molly Simms. The grand prize winner will also receive a year’s supply of all of the Physicians Formula products Joanna recommends.

Runner-up: One winner from the top 200 highest scoring entries will receive the ultimate swag bag full of Physicians Formula goodies. 

Most Viral: Ten winners from the top 200 Most Viral entries will receive a swag bag from Physicians Formula including all of the new product launches matched to their skin tone for a year.

Sign-Up Sweepstakes: On a weekly basis, one winner (six total) who fills out the form in the Campaign Highlights section will be randomly selected to receive amazing Physicians Formula products.

Here's how it works:

Entrants submit photos or videos describing what they are passionate about.  Consumers then share their entries with each other via social media to get votes and reviews.  Entries are also ranked according to how “viral” they are (meaning how much they’ve been circulated throughout the Internet, be it via social networks, email, IM, or other sites). 

The campaign is going on now through March 19th.  To enter, go to  http://www.physiciansformula.com/brickfish.
