Congratulations to Heather H., winner of the Shu Uemura giveway!

Heather, you’ll be getting 3 Shu Uemura products: Silk Oil Camellia Smoothing Fluid, Sheer Lacquer Finishing Spray and Kaze Wave Sensual Curl Texturizing Foam.

So excited for you – I think you’ll love!

Check back soon for more contests, my peaches, or enter the Caress contest currently going on.

A few days ago, Caress sponsored a Girls’ Night Out for me and some friends in honor of their new Whipped Souffle body washes in White Peach Cream and Blackberry Cream.

5 of my gals came over for drinks (VeeV and lemonade cocktails, yum!), and then we took a limo Caress had provided for us to Drai’s, which is one of the hottest clubs in Hollywood.  (Well, one of the hottest clubs in Hollywood for the time being, perhaps…the shelf life of cool going-out spots in Los Angeles is ridiculously short!)

We got a little silly during the pre-party chez moi, using the Caress bottles as props while singing and dancing to Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Weezer, Jay-Z and (in one of the night’s many strange turn of events) Reba McEntire.

Then, at Drai’s, we danced our little bums off for hours, ending the night on a roof overlooking West Hollywood with some friends, including the star of one of your favorite TV shows and mine. (Facebook friends, this one shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.)

The whole evening was a blast, and I’m really grateful to Caress for providing us with the limo and the Whipped Souffles, and for setting up our evening at Drai’s.

But you don’t think I’d leave you hanging like that, do you?  (Hey, I had a great time, wish you could have been there–bye!)

Caress is hooking a sister up (well, several sisters, actually), and is offering a mega-giveaway for Jolie readers.  5 people will win a Caress goodie bag stuffed with their bestselling body products, which is pretty sweet.  Plus, 1 reader will win the grand-prize: a year’s worth of Caress body washes!

Enter the giveaway by commenting on my Facebook fan page telling me why you want to win.  6 North American winners will be chosen at random Monday August 2nd, so those are bueno odds!  And if you want to win your own Girls’ Night Out, visit DanceWithCaress.com for details and to enter.  Good luck!

Congratulations to Deanna6, Balewick3, and JennMSU, the winners of the YouTube Thierry Mugler Womanity giveaway!  You’ve each won an 80 ml bottle of Thierry Mugler’s new fragrance Womanity.

I choose all giveaway winners completely randomly (no nepotism for friends and family here!), so rest assured that all entrants have an equal chance of winning!  We have some cool giveaways from HUGE brands coming up next week, so stay tuned…

Also, as a completely random FYI, Thierry Mugler is pronounced THEE-rry MOO-glair, not the way I butchered it in my video.  The morrre you knoooow!

Cologne posted her review of Thierry Mugler’s new perfume Womanity earlier this week, then I also had the chance to try it out.  Naturally, since I’m having a renewed love affair with YouTube (but, for some reason, only find myself really inspired to do videos when I am late and running out the door), I decided to film a short spot talking about the juice, the bottle and my thoughts.

(What do you think, by the way, of my new video background?  I’m digging it.)

So you can get in on the Thierry Mugler action, 3 readers will each win your own 80ml bottle of Womanity! Enter by visiting my YouTube channel (click on the video above twice to be redirected) and subscribing, then leaving a comment on the video itself.

We’ll choose 3 North American winners at random next Friday, July 16th.  Bonne chance!

I’ve been a bit behind on announcing the winners of the Erno Laszlo giveaway, but better late than never!  Congratulations to Beth (whose favorite classic movie is To Catch a Thief), Ashley (Niagra), Leah (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), Robin (Casablanca) and Ben (Rebel Without a Cause).

You should have all received an email from me, so please respond with your mailing address and you’ll receive your Erno Laszlo prizes soon!

Thanks to everybody who entered!

Marilyn Monroe would have been 84 years old this week, though it’s hard to imagine her (like the equally iconic Princess Diana and Grace Kelly) as being anything but eternally young.

To celebrate Marilyn’s birthday, legendary skincare brand Erno Laszlo is honoring her memory by throwing a public birthday party–today, Friday, 6pm–in New York City’s Madison Square Park.  Erno Laszlo invites all fans, look-alikes, and beauty insiders to attend!

Back in the day, Erno Laszlo was the skincare brand for celebrities, and Marilyn was its biggest, most devoted fan (not to mention personal friends with Dr. Laszlo himself.)  I’ve loved the line it was introduced to me at Lucky magazine, when I became aware that it was the first brand to revolve around the concept of working with your skin’s pH and the first brand to debut water-based products for oily skin.

Want to try Erno Laszlo for yourself?  5 lucky North American winners will get a deep cleansing Sea Mud Soap facial bar of your own!  Simply comment below with the name of your favorite classic, old-time Hollywood film.  We’ll pick 5 winners at random next Wednesday, June 9th. Good luck–and happy birthday, Marilyn!
