Gratuitous Goodies

Hey darlings,
My, my, my, but the beauty gods are feeling mighty generous this week! My inbox has recently been bombarded with news of thrilling giveaways, contests and sweepstakes--and each one's designed to knock the false lashes off even the most jaded beauty bombshell. Clearly, I'd be The Worst if I didn't share the goodies with my girls, so here you go! I feel bullets coming on...


* For those SYB Babes obsessed with Project Runway's steel-jawed style guru, Tim Gunn, you must check out the Project Style Sweepstakes he's hosting with Liz Claiborne! Click here to enter. Fabulous fashiony prizes will be awarded DAILY, but there can only be one Grand Prize Winner, of course. And here's what the lucky b*&^h gets:

1.) New York City getaway with airfare and hotel for two (4 days/3 nights)
2.) $1,000 to spend in style--at a Broadway show, a 5-star restaurant, and Fifth Avenue shopping
3.) 1-hour style consultation with Tim Gunn
4.) $500 Liz Claiborne wardrobe


* Gonna be in NYC on Tuesday, October 23rd? Do you harbor a major girl-crush on Mariah? Then you must stop by Macy's Herald Square at 5pm sharp, since the buxom belter will be showcasing her flirty new perfume, M by Mariah Carey ($52.50)!! Some extra goodies available to only her most rabid fans: The first 200 ladies to purchase the fragrance will receive a special pass to meet Ms. Mariah and get her autograph. The first 50 customers to purchase the special VIP fragrance set ($305) get to enjoy a special Mariah photo opp, an exclusive M by Mariah Carey "crystal accented tee shirt " (I can only imagine), and a special pure parfum.


* In honor of Allure's annual "Best of Beauty" issue, the magazine is giving away a suitcase stuffed with more than $3,500 worth of BOB winners! The loot includes cult-favorites like Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, Nars The Multiple, Clarins Self-Tanning Instant Gel, a Shu Uemura eyelash curler, a CHI flatiron...and the list goes on and on. Click here to get lucky, sugar.


* Gotta love Saks.com, man. With a cosmetic or fragrance purchase of $100 or more, they're giving away a chic Stephanie Johnson tote chock full of oh-so-coveted samples from Annick Goutal, Bond No. 9 New York, Elizabeth Arden, Dolce & Gabbana and more. Just enter the promo code REELBEAUTY at checkout.

Big nepotistic (not a word) PS: Clearly, I'd be obsessed with Stereohyped even if its writer and I didn't share the same parents. But I can't help but be over-the-moon proud of Lauren for her fascinating new hair series!!
