Win Gaultier's new summer scent!

Jack Sparrow was all the rage back in 2007 when Jean Paul Gaultier debuted his pirate inspired Spring/Summer 2008 collection on the Paris runway. And parrots, flamingos, birds of paradise, and tattoos are still dancing in his mind with the new summer edition of his famous "MA DAME" fragrance collection. While his "Les Pirates" ready-to-wear collection hinted at the lush Garden of Eden, this limited edition Ma Dame Eau FraƮche also invites us to an intoxicating, feminine aroma of floral, fauna and divine perfection.

Perfect for summer, this fragrance is a soft floral, reminiscent of the eau de toilette, but a bit lighter for warmer, sunnier days. With top notes of orange zest and middle notes of grenadine, raspberry, and pink grapefruit, this is the perfect fragrance for a hot LA night.

And did we mention that it could be yours? Yes, we have a bottle that we've saved just for you. All you need to do is send an email to comments@lapretty.com with your name and address in the body, and with Ma Dame in the subject line. We'll pick a name at random and announce the winner April 23! (US residents only please.)

Good luck!

As we mentioned before, Peacekeeper is the first cosmetics line to give all of its after-tax distributable profits to women's health advocacy and human rights issues.

For the love of lashes (Modlash giveaway!)

Last weekend, I caught a showing of The Watchmen in IMAX. (Yes, there were tons of heavyset men waiting before the show with wide-eyed expressions of children on Christmas morning.) The best part of the movie to this LA Pretty was the fabulous eyelashes sported by actresses Malin Ackerman and Carla Gugino, and man did I get a good look at them! While IMAX is great for action scenes, they probably hate it because I had the pleasure of seeing every wrinkle, every blackhead, and every mole in total close-up. Meanwhile, their lashes looked amazing.

You don't need to wait for a red-carpet event or wedding to sport some falsies. Just give it a go to add some extra glamour to a night out with the BF! If you're new to the falsies game a great way to start is with a kit like Andrea's ModLash Starter Kit.

Some quick tips? Put on the falsies after you're all done applying your makeup. Apply a thin line of black eyeliner to your upper lid, right over natural lashes (this will make sure that your skin doesn't show between the real lash line and the false one). Then apply mascara to your natural lashes before applying the falsies to help the lashes adhere better and mix in with your natural lashes.


And in honor of March Makeup Madness, Andrea has kindly offered to send one Pretty reader a free starter kit! All you need to do to apply is send us an email with your name and mailing address with ModLash in the subject line to comments@lapretty.com.

We'll pick a name at random on March 16 at 12pm PT and Andrea will send over a kit.

(US residents only please.)

Good luck!

Congratulations goes out to Deanna G. in Hillsboro, Oregon because you won the Wishful Blinking giveaway! Have fun Prettying yourself up with your new glittery Eye Shine from Xtreme Lashes.

Remember Pretties, one more day for the NYX giveaway!

And if you didn't win, now worries, we'll have many more chances to score some makeup during March Makeup Madness, so stay tuned!

Cover up with NYX (plus a giveaway!)

Got some blemishes you'd like to keep under wraps? NYX (hooray for LA-based cosmetic companies!) has just the tools:

Their concealer stick works like magic, covering up even the tiniest of flaws. Just dab a little on your blemishes, dark circles, scars, what-have-yous and you're done. They're available in 12 shades including lavender, yellow, and green.

Yes, that's right: lavender, yellow, and green are great concealer colors because they're neutralizing shades. Got a red acne blemish? Using green will lighten the shade more effectively than a beige color. Meanwhile, lavender and yellow works wonders on under eye circles.

NYX also has you covered with their Twin Cake Powder. It's a powder, concealer, and foundation all in one and will cover your imperfections like crazy. It controls shine all day with a lightweight, velvety finish that also reduces the appearance of pores without clogging your skin. I'm also a huge fan of the compact's design which separates the sponge from the powder to keep it dry.

And in honor of March Makeup Madness, we're giving away a great concealer combo from Nyx. We have a concealer stick in medium (CS05) and a Twin Cake Powder in natural (CP07) that we're giving away.

All you have to do is send an email with your name and mailing address with NYX in the subject line to comments@lapretty.com. We'll pick a name at random at 12 PM on March 10 and announce the winner. (US residents only, please.) Good luck!

NYX is available online and at Ulta (7100 Santa Monica Blvd #210, Los Angeles).

Wishful Blinking Eye Shine Giveaway!


There's no better way to make yourself feel Pretty than by adding a touch of glitter - that's why we love this new product from Xtreme Lashes called Wishful Blinking Eye Shine. The simple brush applicator is super easy to use and it's thin enough that you don't risk getting too much all over and making a glittery mess. Available in 5 shades, just apply it to your lashes for a little twinkle or use it on your lids for a more glittery pop. You can even use it on your cheeks to get some added glow for a sexy night out!

And the good news for our Pretty readers is that we happen to have an extra one in "Iridescent Mirage" (the pink shade pictured above) at Pretty Headquarters. Just send an email to comments@lapretty.com with your name, mailing adress and Eye Shine in the subject line. We'll pick a winner at random and send it along to you.

(Giveaway ends at 12 PM on March 9, 2009; US residents only please.)

If you don't win, get it at The Parlour on 3rd (8113 W. Third Street, Los Angeles); 323/651-4200.

Kiehls came up with a Simply Mahvelous idea


In honor of the relaunch of their shave cream, Simply Mahvelous Legs, Kiehls wants you to win a year's supply. How you ask? Well, it's not easy, but you'll have to guess how long it takes the world's tallest woman, Svetlana Pankratova to shave her legs. Easier said than done, her legs are a whopping 4 feet 4 inches. She obviously must use the finest in skin care, because if Svetlana cuts herself or gets razor burn then that wouldn't be Pretty.

The contest can be entered online or in-store through March 15. The customer in each of their free-standing stores and Kiehls.com who comes closest to the exact answer, above or below, will win a full year of Close Shaverettes” Simply Mahvelous Legs Shave Cream, and can nourish their legs with the unique combination of Allantoin, Chamomile and Sesame Seed Oil that soothes and calms skin, leaving them silky smooth.

Sounds Mahvelous!

Kiehl’s Since 1851, Robertson-100 N. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, 310-860-0028
