Along with the soufflé, Lipgloss Break will be giving away a $50.00 gift certificate to the ultra luxurious Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club in Manhattan. Your readers can apply some luxe soufflé body lotion pre-dinner and then have a delectable chocolate soufflé at Bruno Jamais.

Perfect to wear anywhere! 0% Guilt. 100% Pleasure. Be Delicious.


Having dinner at Bruno Jamais Restaurant Club is truly a luxury experience. The restaurant club named for its very charming French owner Bruno Jamais, is a little gem, a lovely little secret, where you feel like you have left the streets of New York far behind as you walk up the steps of the brownstone. Once inside, Jacques LeMagueresse welcomes you with his sexy French accent, and leads you to the restaurant through the automatic door of the well-stocked wine cellar with the door closing with a whoosh behind you, capturing the essence of a James Bond movie as you enter the bar.
