Introducing BeautyFix.

Who doesn't want to get their beauty fix on? I mean, I am pretty much obsessed with beauty products, and I bet a good many of you are too.

I certainly know how hard it is to find really great beauty products. There are so many goodies out there to choose from, and I feel that the best way to find out about new products is to try them. Agreed? But who has the money to buy $50 and $100 products all the time without knowing how they work? I know I don't. That is where BeautyFix comes in.

By signing up with BeautyFix, for just $50 every quarter, you will get to try out 7 - 10 full sizes or deluxe sample-sized products. Every quarter. For just $50! And once you see the products inside, you will not hesitate to sign up and start sampling. By signing up, you will be privileged to be involved in the great community, along with some extra additional perks - like gift cards, special prices, and even a chance at a FREE BeautyFix too. Woo Hoo!

I am not going to add up how much the products inside are worth, but suffice it to say that I know that if you were to buy just one of these products, you would be getting more than your money's worth! (One of the products retails for $105 alone). And once you take a look at what is inside, you will see the value.

Look at what is inside the first BeautyFix:

• Amarté Aqua Veil Pure Hydration Serum - Full Size
• Amarté Natural Wonder Cream - Full Size
• Jane Iredale Shimmer Powder in Rose Gold - Full Size

So, why I am so excited about BeautyFix? Well, I am part of the panel that selects the products (which I have tested and tried) that go into this great BeautyFix kit. And I bet you will notice a few more of your favorite beauty bloggers on the panel too. ;) We would not steer you wrong.

Secret Sport Challenge.

Last weekend I told you about the webinar announcing the Secret Sport Challenge, where women 13 and older have a chance at an athletic scholarship. I am back now with all of the details.

Secret is giving away $100,000 in athletic scholarships (there will be 20 winners who will each win $5,000). To sign up for the challenge, you go to SecretSport.com and click on the link to the Secret page on Facebook to become a fan and add the Secret Sport Challenge Application. The Challenge is based on a point system, which is described below.

HOW IT WORKS:
To participate as an Athlete in this Challenge, visit secretsport.com or the Secret page over on Facebook, and create your Secret Sport Challenge Application age to feature your personal fitness goal. By entering this Challenge, you will earn points for various activities such as updating the status f your goal, receiving support messages from your friends, and sending support messages to friends who are also participating as Athletes in this Challenge.

At the end of each monthly period defined Athletes that have the highest point values will receive a Grand Prize consisting of a $5,000 sport scholarship. In the event of a tie (which is likely), a random drawing will be conducted from among tied entrants to determine the winners for that monthly period. You must be a Facebook member in order to become an Athlete or support an Athlete. If you are not a Facebook member, follow the instructions at www.facebook.com to sign up for membership (there is no fee to become a member)

HOW TO ACCRUE POINTS:
*Earn 1 point when creating your SSCA page. Limit 1 point per Athlete.
*Earn 1 point when you update the status of your personal goal. Limit 1 point per day regardless of the number of times you update yourstatus on a given day.
* Earn 1 point for each different friend that sends you a support message. Limit 1 point per friend per day regardless if a friend sends multiple support messages on a given day.
*Earn 1 point for each support message you send to friends who are participating as Athletes in this Challenge. Limit 1 point per support message sent per friend per day. Even if you send a friend multiple messages within a given day, you will only receive 1 point for messages sent to that friend per day.

So not only is it a great opportunity, setting goals and having fun at the same time is a great plus. Let us know if you sign up so your Beautiful Makeup Search friends can send you some support.

A Visit with The Lauder Family of Estee Lauder.

Imagine the honor to meet the Executives of the Estee Lauder companies last week. I met so many wonderfully brilliant people amongst Mr. Leonard Lauder - Chairman of the Board, Mr. William Lauder - CEO,  as well as makeup artist icon, Bobbi Brown.

The evening was exciting and I could have not been more thrilled to be there to kick of an awareness campaign for breast cancer that coincides with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. As October is breast cancer awareness month, we will be going pink and highlighting all of the wonderful products that are being sold to benefit both campaigns.

Here are a few of the pictures I snapped from Estee Lauder's office on the 44th floor on Fifth Avenue, which has been kept exactly as it was when Ms. Lauder left us.

The last picture is a treasured item that is a "crystal ball" that was given to Estee Lauder from Saks Fifth Avenue in 1997. You see, Ms. Lauder could see her future. In 1947, Estee Lauder brought a bottle of her treasured perfume Youth Dew to the executives at Saks Fifth Avenue. She wanted her creation to be sold in the famous store. She was turned away saying that her company was too small and unrecognized. Thinking only as Ms. Lauder did, as she was about to leave the Saks Fifth Avenue building, a large bottle of Youth Dew was "accidentally" dropped by the main doors. After numerous inquiries from shoppers as to what the wonderful smell in the air was, Saks promptly called Estee Lauder back to the store and took on the Youth Dew fragrance the next day. Since that day in 1947, every new perfume in the Estee Lauder brand has launched exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.

The evening was a dream and I cannot thank the Estee Lauder executives enough for their warm hospitality where they really wanted to get into the brains of the beauty blogging community.

Stay tuned for the BCA campaign.
