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

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Brian & Edie Himmel started Crazy Rumors in their bright, sunny yellow kitchen back in 2003. It's where the idea of fusing fun themes & delicious flavoring into high quality, natural personal care products was born. Seeing how so many product lines leaned one way or the other: simple and ordinary with the same basic aromas or wild and over the top but made of purely synthetic ingredients, Crazy Rumors set out to be the best of both worlds.

With the support of family and friends, they put their senses and lips to work. After many months of late night experiments and testing, they decided they had created the world's best lip balm of its kind. Not only were everyone’s lips super soft and hydrated but their kitchen smelled amazing! Much has changed over the years including a new location, new lines and a new look and design for the products. They've also caught the attention of beauty editors having been featured in magazines like Vogue, Elle and Seventeen to name a few. Most importantly, what remains the same are their ingredients, values and beliefs.

Do what you love and love what you do, and of course do it well!

Enjoy these fun, fruity, deliciously moisturizing balms on your own pucker, or buy a bunch to keep on hand as extra little somethings to include with gifts ... and check back with Crazy Rumors regularly as they add more to their product lines. New for the summer is Fresh Squeezed gourmet citrus-inspired juicy flavored balms for the hot months ahead.
