The Bronzer 411 & Golden Giveaway

After a conversation with some of my girlfriends I discovered that bronzer was one of the top beauty products they couldn't live without and observed that some of them weren't even wearing the right shade for their skin tone.  That being said, I decided to help them out by investigating the techniques on how to choose and apply the magic dust.  Physician's Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip gave me the scoop. The Top 2 Golden Rules of Being A Golden Goddess:

1. Obviously our skin gets darker in the summer and lighter in the winter, which means you need to change your bronzer with the seasons.  Always use a bronzer that's two shades darker than your skin tone.

2. Use...a kabuki brush to apply bronzer (this is the one that's "cut") – it won't show any lines of demarcation – and apply to all areas the sun will hit such as your forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin. Don't forget the small parts.  Your ears and neck should be bronzed too.  Blend well.

Schlip loves Physician's Formula's new Shimmer and Pearl Bronzer (great for face) and Bronze Booster Pressed Powder (awesome for face & body). I have one of each to give away!  Here's how to win:

New Proactiv Campaign & Giveaway

I've always been fortunate enough to never had have to use Proactiv for acne, but began using some parts of the line a few weeks ago because my roommate (who has a gorgeous complexion) raves about it.  Now, I can honestly say I like the Refining Mask and Oil Free Moisturizer with SPF 15.  I recently learned that the line goes way beyond the three step system. I'm so used to seeing the commercials with Diddy, Jessica Simpson, Avril Lavigne, and now Katy Perry telling everyone to purchase the products that I never really payed attention.  One celebrity endorsement after another I began to get jaded.  Do I really think Diddy had acne and used a three-step-system?  Come on.

Their new campaign caught my eye – Be proactiv.  It showcases their A-list spokespeople in a new way.  Instead of just endorsing the product, they encourage people to "Be Proactiv," which I feel is a much stronger, positive idea.

Now for an Exclusive BeautySweetSpot Giveaway!

Check out the new campaign below and let me know what you think.  How are you Proactiv everyday?

One winner will be chosen at random on Friday, July 16th to win a full set of Proactiv products!

Vaseline's #1 Draft Pick: Michael Strahan

I'm excited to be able to write about one of my favorite football players of all time, Michael Strahan. Even though I'm a hard core Dallas Cowboys fan (by birth), I met him once at a party and he was very nice, down to earth and fun to be around.  And yes, I might have been able to fit my whole finger in between his two front teeth, but I still think he's cute.  Everyone has their flaws right? Vaseline Men recently signed the Superbowl star as their latest spokesperson and I had to share the video below with you.  I think he's just as charming in this video as he is in real life (try not to get distracted by his gleaming arm muscles that must be coated in Vaseline!).

Do you know someone who's a Strahan fan?  I'm giving away two autographed footballs! Father's Day is right around the corner and it might make some one a very happy dad.

Here's how to win:

Comment below and tell me why Michael Strahan's your #1 draft pick to win.  The two winners will be chosen at random on Friday, May 21st.  Check back on the comments at the end of the day to see if it's you!

Mark Garrison Cut & Color Giveaway

This week my best friend and I were treated to blow outs at the Mark Garrison Salon on East 60th St. in NYC.  (I know, rough job).  Known for being a master artist with a pair of sheers, I was a little upset with myself that I wouldn't let him put his scissors anywhere near my new extensions, but I was lucky enough to have him give me a blowout (that's now on it's 3rd day). My best friend Adrienne and I couldn't help but notice how attractive he was, but of course assumed he was gay.  Big mistake on my part!  After talking with Amber Katz of BeautyBloggingJunkie last night who had her hair cut by him the same day, I found out I was dead wrong.  Turns out, she had a crush too.  With all of the beauty events I attend, it would be just fantastic to get scooped up by an adorable, straight hair dresser!  I don't know what I'd be more excited about, a new boy or a live in hair dresser.

Want your hair cut and colored by Mark.  Yea, you do!  But make sure you go in dressed to the nines! I'm giving one lucky BeautySweetSpot reader the opportunity to have his hands in your hair (and a great flirting session).  Here's how to win:

Comment below letting me know why you need the makeover.  The winner will be announced at the end of the day so make sure you check back on the comments!  Good luck!

Oscar Party & Dove Giveaway

Last night to celebrate the Oscars I hosted a Red Carpet inspired party sponsored by Dove. Starting at the beginning of E!'s red carpet coverage promptly at 6pm, ten of my good friends piled into my tiny NYC apartment and we had our own version of Fashion Police in my living room. Overheard at the party:

"Obsessed with Rachel McAdams!  Dress, hair, everything!"

"Zoe Saldana looks like a purple monster!  The bottom of her dress looks like hair scrunchies!  Tragedy!"

"Julianna's boobs have to be fake and Ryan Seacrest looks like a frat boy."

"Dove is the only thing that touches my face and my body."

"Richard Gere should go for the buzz cut."

Thank you Dove for supplying me with everything needed to make this party a success! My friend Crystal who owns Tasty Morsels Bakery even made branded Dove cookies that had a gold foil dove in the center.

RapidLash Giveaway

I'm sure you've already heard the buzz about RapidLash.  You might have seen lash and brow enhancement product on The Today Show, Tyra or The View, but if you're not already familiar, let me acquaint you.  You can thank me later.  Tonight, ten lucky BeautySweetSpot readers will win a tube of RapidLash valued at $50 each! RapidLash is serum that enhances the appearance of your lashes and brows in 30 days.  I started seeing results in two weeks. Only $50, a fraction of the cost of Latisse ($120), you can pick it up at your local drugstore.  I was first introduced to the brand a little over a year ago and was intrigued by the claims.  Can a serum really give me the lashes and brows create every day through illusions with pencil and mascara?

I began using it on both my lashes and brows and sure enough I began to notice a difference.  The real selling point was my eyebrows.  Treaded a little too thin, the hairs in the inner corners were sprouting up and gaps were filling in.  When I pointed out the growth to people, they were amazed.  Yes, my lashes were growing too, but to others, the growth was really visible in my brow area.

One of my friends, Kerri of GlimmerGlossGlow, documented her lash and brow growth while using RapidLash. Check out her before and after pics throughout a four week time span.

Win a tube of RapidLash!  I have 10 to giveaway!  Here's how to win:

• Follow @BeautySweetSpot and @RapidLash on Twitter (you must be a follower of both for a chance of winning)
• Tonight between the hours of 8 and 9pm EST I will be Tweeting instructions for the give away
• The more you participate, the better your chances are of winning
• The winners will be announced immediately following
