Don’t miss out on this week’s contests…enter to win a “Love Enamel Bangle” bracelet from Cynthia H Designs and a jar of KENZO’s new face cream, Belle de Jour!
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
The Beatles speak the truth. But while love may be all you need, who wouldn’t want this chic Love Enamel Bracelet by Cynthia Holvey?
Southern California designer Cynthia Holvey (and cousin of George Clooney) created a line of trend-setting, inspirational bracelets inscribed with empowering affirmations. The collection – including enamel bangles, leather and metal bracelets, and an eco-friendly organic cotton bracelet – have become popular with celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Garner, Kourtney Kardashian, Olivia Wilde, and Michelle Trachtenberg.
“I designed the line to have an edge but be classic enough to go with any outfit. More importantly, the jewelry is meant to inspire, motivate and empower people. I never leave the house without a bracelet and when I look down at my wrist I have a better day,” says Holvey.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Spoiled Pretty has teamed up with Cynthia H Designs for a giveaway. Three readers will win a Love Enamel Bangle. The metal and enamel bracelet offers a repeating artistic display of scripted inspirational sayings (Love Who You Are, Follow Your Passion, Live In The Moment, Love & Laugh). The dual-colored bracelet is available in color combinations light blue/gold, pink/silver, fuchsia/gold, black/silver, and white/gold. The Love Bangles retail for $65 each.
To enter, send an email to spoiledprettycontests@gmail.com. Be sure to include your full name and mailing address. The subject line should read “Love Enamel Bangle Giveaway.” The contest ends at midnight (EST) on Sunday, February 8th. Three winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Monday, February 9th, I’ll announce the winners’ names. Please, only one entry per person; duplicate entries will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. residents only.
Remember Drew Barrymore’s mane misstep at the 2009 Golden Globes, and the subsequent bouffant backlash? Well, Drew’s not tryin’ to hear that, see?
This morning, she appeared on the Early Show looking like she lost a battle with rat tail comb and a bottle of Aquanet.
Don’t get me wrong…I love Drew. I’m just perplexed by the do. Thoughts?
On her blog, Kim Kardashian shares a few tips on making your makeup last and keeping it looking fresh all day:
I keep a translucent powder with me in my purse and put it on with a blush brush to get rid of the foundation getting oily.
In order to keep your eyeshadow on all day, apply a MAC paint to the lid then apply shadow on top!
The key to fresh makeup is just bringing the essentials with you to touch up throughout the day!

Keira Knightley loves herself some Chanel. Today, the spokeswoman attended the Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 wearing a Chanel ensemble – and products from Chanel Beauté.
Makeup artist Kay Montano dishes on the inspiration behind Keira’s classic look:
“Keira is such a classic beauty and was wearing a very chic simple Chanel black high neck top and a classic tweed skirt so I decided her make-up look should be very ingénue in contrast to her traditional attire. Keira also has a cool fringe a la Jane Birkin which frames her beautiful eyes so I decided to use her eyes as the focus.”
Kay kept Keira’s skin very translucent looking with sheer foundation Vitalumiere in Clair followed by a very light dusting of Poudre Universelle Compacte in Beige to give her skin a soft matte texture. Kay then suggested a chocolate plum eye courtesy of Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes over a liberal smudging of Intense Eye Pencil in Ambre. The eyes were completed with Automatic Liquid Eyeliner next to the top lashes, edging to a ‘rock’ version of the classic tick plus lashings of Exceptionnel de Chanel Mascara in Smoky Noir. Powder Blush in Fandango was brushed on the cheeks to give a natural flush. Lips were given a modern retro look with a light slick of Levres Signées Chanel Satin Lip Cream Palette.
