Contest Break - Bond No. 9 Mother's Day Contest

During the week preceding Mother’s Day (May 10^th), Bond No. 9 aficionados are invited to sign up their favorite mother for a unique Mother’s Day raffle gift: a year’s supply of Bond No. 9. This means one bottle per month of the eau de parfum of her choice.

Any Bond No. 9 customer is welcome to enter the purchase necessary. All you need to do is stop at any Bond No. 9 counter, or at Saks Fifth Avenue, Sunday, May 3rd - Saturday, May 9^th. There you supply your name and contact information on a raffle to be left in a hatbox. At the close of business on the 9^th, the winning raffle at each store will be drawn at random and the winner informed that evening—just in time for Mother’s Day.

Who qualifies as an eligible mother? The regular, old-fashioned, all-forgiving, chicken-soup mother, to be sure. But also the career mother, the vamp mother, the shopaholic mother … any female on whom we’d ordinarily bestow a Mother’s Day gift. And hey, self-satisfying types are welcome to enter their own name. (We do not judge.)

This eau de parfum prize is no ordinary Mother’s Day present. It’s a sense-delighting gift that keeps on giving—like a magazine subscription (but without the annoying renewal notices). Bond No. 9 is offering a limited-time special offer for the non-winners: The same monthly supply of gift-boxed Bond No. 9 sent to the recipient of their choice at a discount of twelve bottles for the price of ten.

Lipgloss Break - Huge Lips, Skinny Hips

If only thin hips were a lick away. The innovative new cosmetics company Purple Lab has conjured up Huge Lips, Skinny Hips, a ground-breaking lip gloss offering non-invasive access to the lips and hips women have always dreamed about. Chic color, luscious volume and a slimmer figure for those skinny jeans are all just a wave of the lip gloss wand away with an exclusive formulation—including plump-prompting Vitamin B3 and the natural appetite suppressant Hoodia—in six universally-flattering, high-gloss hues.

“Huge Lips, Skinny Hips is the answer to every girl's beauty dreams—sophisticated lip color, plumping performance and a natural way to curb those carb cravings,” says Purple Lab Creatrix, fashion/beauty insider, author and media personality Karen Robinovitz. “It’s the perfect secret weapon for surviving cocktail parties without succumbing to all the hors d’oeuvres.”

Extending beyond the boundaries of traditional lip gloss, Huge Lips, Skinny Hips’ revolutionary formulation features Hoodia Gordoni Extract, which is derived from the cactus-like plant indigenous to South Africa and Namibia and has been used safely for centuries for its appetite-suppressing benefits. The formulation also includes Vitamin B3 to stimulate blood flow to the lip surface, diminish the appearance of unsightly wrinkles around the lip area and comfortably create a plumping effect without stinging or burning. Other lip-conditioning ingredients include natural lipids that bind water to the skin, as well as Meadow Foam to moisturize to perfection and Lemon Peel Oil to offer instant cooling. Committed to a healthy pout, the formulation is paraben-free.

Designed to inspire with every application, the collection’s six hues pay homage to Robinovitz’s favorite icons and philosophies. Red Sole (a sultry red inspired by the bottom of seductive Louboutin heels), Love Your Thighs (a flirty coral and Robinovitz’s personal mantra), Worship Kate (a rich pink glitter tribute to Kate Moss), Lychee Martini (a frothy peach inspired by her favorite fruit), No Panty Lines (a shiny clear) and Kitty Poledancer (the perfect nude and a nickname given to Robinovitz for her love of dancing) are each packaged with colorful anecdotes about the meaning behind the name of the shade. And the packaging is sleek, eye-popping fun—an hourglass-shaped box in glossy ombre dyed purple with metallic hot pink accents.

Purple Lab’s Huge Lips, Skinny Hips will debut in Spring 2009 for $20.00 at Scoop and Space.N.K. Co-Founder of Scoop, Stefani Greenfield, says “Everything that Karen does has a fresh and innovative marketing twist—this is truly ‘sexy yummy’.”

What's In My Beach Bag? - Volume 1

What's in my Beach Bag? Wouldn't you like to know! Every week I'm going to highlight a few items that I don't leave behind while I'm in the sun and on the water. I'll also include the hottest beach bags this summer, the first one being this adorable Juicy Couture bag. It comes with a matching towel that reads "Juicy says Relax!"

One of my 'vows' to myself this summer is to always use sunscreen. On my face, body, makeup, everything has to contain it. But, when you can't part with your favorite facial moisturizer that doesn't have sunscreen, what should a girl do??? Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster is a great solution for this. Instead of changing your staple facial product, you can mix equal amounts of Solar Defense Booster in with your moisturizer for full-spectrum protection. You can also use this alone for an SPF 30.

I used this product this past weekend when house boating in sunny, 90 degree weather, and no pink cheeks! I mixed it in equal parts with my moisturizer (this weekend was Oil of Olay, only brand they had at the QMart in Hyderabad) and it didn't alter the effectiveness of my moisturizer. The price point is more than I'm use to paying for sunscreen, but since I can use half the amount mixed in with my favorite moisturizer, and still get sun protection without worrying about sunscreen induced breakouts, I would say that it's a great investment and addition to any beach bag.

You can purchase the Solar Defence Booster at www. Dermalogica.com SRP: $43
