Win This Zac Posen/Target Dress Before it Hits Stores! We'll Throw in a Pretty Lipstick Too!

Wow! So many blush comments and so much good advice. I'll work on some future blush posts so we can answer the questions many of you posted. And Angelina. yes, we read all the comments! Thank you for sharing that story about your grandmother. That's really beautiful that you have her compact.

If you read the blog regularly, you might remember that the Lancome team bumped into designer Zac Posen at the Night Before Party in L.A. right before the Oscars. He was very nice and very charming, and trust me, not all designers are. Target was one of the sponsors (along with Lancome) and they had a booth featuring the upcoming Zac Posen for Target line. Each guest was given the Zac outfit of their choice, a Zac tote bag and a Zac scarf. (Lancome gave all the guests Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, Genifique eye cream, BiFacil eyemakeup remover, Oscillation vibrating mascara and Creme de Brilliance liquid lipstick. Not bad, right?)

I picked the dress above (in a size 5--there weren't many sizes left!) because I thought it would be fun for a blog giveaway. To enter, just leave a comment telling us a good deed you've done recently. We'll pick one post at random and that person will get the Zac dress, bag and scarf, plus a L'Absolu Rouge lipstick in Exotic Orchid (my new fave), a gorgeous deep pink that will look pretty with the dress. Please post by Sunday night.

Check out Fashionista.com for the Zac Target lookbook. The collection goes on sale April 25th.

Have a nice weekend and good luck!

More From Paris! And a French Skincare Giveaway!

Faubourg-St. Honoré
Originally uploaded by Adam Chin

Hi, everyone. Day Three in Paris. I went to the Lancome boutique this afternoon on Faubourg St. Honore for the Genifique facial, which was really amazing. I never walk around without makeup if I can avoid it (insecure quirk of mine), but my skin looked and felt so glowy, I couldn't bear to put makeup on afterwards. The esthetician used Galatee Confort cleanser, Secret de Vie cleanser, Tonique Douceur cleanser, Exfoliance Clarte scrub, Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, Genifique Eye Cream and Genifique Day Cream (which isn't available in the U.S., so I bought one to try at home!). The facial included some ultrasound, lots of massage and some steam. It took an hour and a half total. I haven't had a facial in years, so this was a nice treat. Not to mention insanely relaxing. I think I might have fallen asleep for a little while. Speaking of sleep, it's way past my bedtime. More Paris talk tomorrow.

Let's give away all the products I mentioned above (except the Genifique day cream-sorry!). Just post your must-have skincare product and we'll pick one post at random. Please post by Wednesday night. Talk to you soon!

Tell Us What Truly Works (And Win Our Amazing New Eye Cream, Which Really Works Too!)

Here is a list of things that truly work, according to an unscientific survey of the Lancôme P.R. department:

1. Spanx
2. Band-Aid Blister Block
3. Static Guard
4. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
5. Tide to Go pens
6. Swiffer cloths

You can add our new Génifique eye cream to that list. Erin and I decided to road test the new potion--but just under one eye. The results were pretty impressive. In just one week, you could tell which eyes we were using it under. It's a fantastic gel-like formula that actually works on dark circles and brightens your under-eye area. You might even need less concealer. And it's good for a variety of ages. I'm using it, but so is our intern Madeline, who at 22 years of age is slightly more fresh faced than I am.

It's also great for guys, especially those with dark circles who wouldn't use concealer in a million years. Plus, the packaging is really unisex for those sensitive about such things.

We're giving away a jar of Génifique eye cream. Just tell us one thing that you think really really works and we'll pick one post at random. Please post by Sunday night. Good luck!
