Have You Heard of Tavi? (Plus, an Age-Appropriate Juicy Tubes Holiday Set Giveaway!)

If you haven't, you will soon. Tavi's the 13-year-old sensation behind the Style Rookie blog. We just read on Fashionista that Tavi has penned a column for January's Harper's Bazaar. I didn't write for Harper's Bazaar until I turned 30 years old, so well done, Tavi!

(Speaking of Harper's Bazaar, the January subscriber cover with Kate Hudson is terrific. Bazaar always does two covers: one for the newsstand and one for subscribers. Personally, I prefer the subscriber ones. The photos are more interesting and there are no pesky cover lines. Good reason to subscribe, my friends!)

And back to Tavi, she did the above Style.com video about the upcoming Rodarte collection for Target, which hits stores Dec. 20th. Did we mention that we love Rodarte and we're insanely excited for this?

Let's do a Tavi-inspired giveaway. Tell us what you were doing when you were 13 and you'll be entered to win the holiday Juicy Tubes set. I don't think I was doing much at 13. Reading Seventeen Magazine? Collecting Bonne Bell Lipsmackers? Begging my mom to let me wear makeup? Please post your answer by Sunday night and we'll pick one post at random. Good luck!

This Weekend's Lancôme List!

Some things to do, see and read:

—Patricia, of the Lancôme PR team, is profiled on the Beauty Logic blog. Thanks to our friend Mildred for that and congrats on your 400th post. Phew!
—Our new pal Kae, who's behind the very popular Hungry Asian blog, reviews the Lollipop lip/nail charity collection we just launched. She gave herself a manicure with all the shades, and even added a hand-drawn silver Lancôme rose to the Bon Bon Strawberry mani! (See above.)
—There are a few days left to enter our Polyvore.com Hypnôse Senses contest. The winner gets a $250 gift certificate to lancome-usa.com and a bottle of Hypnôse Senses signed by Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy. (Daria is picking the winning entry!) Five runners-up each get $100 gift certificates.
—Need to amp up your eyeshadow? Get some inspiration from the charming XtellmeaboutmakeupX on YouTube as she discovers Lancôme for the first time. (The first time! Miss X, how is this possible?) She's pretty fearless with the eyeshadow application.
—If you're near a department store, stop by the Lancôme counter and check out our new Oscillation Powerfoundation. Did you see it in O Magazine? It's a fun product and it's unlike anything you've ever tried before. If you're a mineral fan, you will love this. No mess, no fuss, none of that twirling, etc., etc. The puff does all the work. Tell the beauty advisers that The Lancôme Blog sent you!
—I'll be washing my makeup brushes this weekend. Dirty brushes=dirty skin. Yuck. Good brushes will last a long time--but only if you take care of them. Wash yours if you haven't done so in a while.
—Cheer on the Yankees! (Unless you live in Philadelphia, of course.) The World Series is very glamorous this year, with the likes of Kate Hudson and Demi Moore in attendance. (Demi, btw, has a new Helena Rubinstein fragrance coming soon. Can't wait to smell that!)
—Lastly, have a Happy Halloween. Hope it's all treats. xoxo
