Yesterday's 12 Days of Giving Day 4 Winner
Current mood:

excited
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

Jacqueline S. from Arroyo High School is the winner of yesterday's prize, a bottle of the new YSL scent Parisienne (valued at $85).

Here's her winning essay:

After the exhaustion and stress of designing the collection I've been so dedicated to all this season, it's finally done and exceeded my expectations. The structured blazers, the embellished pencil skirts, the chiffon blouses and the towering heels made the collection a story. After everything this season, I want to donate to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Although animals may not be able to speak, they don't deserve to be beaten and abused day after day. Any donation helps animals in need and I would be honored to.

Today's prize is a Tarina Tarantino Lucite Heart Necklace ($70 value).

FashionClub.com's Beauty Tips for the Holidays
Current mood:

Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

HOLIDAY ALLURE

It's the holiday season and you know what that means—family, friends, and endless fetês! Make sure you show up looking amazing with these quick and simple holiday beauty tips.

Sugar and Spice

Add a dash of sweet sparkle and a touch of luxe loveliness to your holiday look with shimmery golds and warm tawnys. Here's how:

Eyes - Sweep a golden-bronze shadow, such as Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in Copper 54 ($19), then follow up with a volumizing mascara, like Stila MAJOR major Lash Mascara ($22).

Cheeks - For a healthy flush, blend a golden rose hue on the apples of your cheeks. Try e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip in Persimmon ($1).

Lips - A coat of shiny gloss is all you need to complete the look. Cargo blu_ray™ High Definition Lip Gloss in Vermont ($24) has a shimmery golden caramel color and delivers tons of shine and hydration to nourish lips.

Red Time Story

Celebrate the season with a gorgeous red pout to rival even the prettiest holiday decorations. Here's how:

Eyes - Brush a pale silver eyeshadow across your eyelids, then finish with a coat of black mascara. Sephora Brand Iridescent Cream Eyeshadow in Silver ($6) looks fabulous with Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara in Very Black ($8).

Cheeks - Sweep a barely-there peachy brown color onto your cheeks. We like Lola Cosmetics Creme Blush Stick($20) because it gives you a natural looking glow in a convenient stick form.

Lips - Choose a matte red lipstick, such as Lorac Breakthrough Performance Lipstick in Leading Lady ($22).

Find out which shade of red is perfect for you here!

The career of your dreams is just a click away! Head to FIDM.edu to learn about the exciting Beauty Industry Merchandising & Marketing Degree.

Day 3 Winner: 12 Days of Giving
Current mood:

energetic
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

Patricia N. of Bolsa Grande High School in Garden Grove won yesterday's prize, a $75 Urban Outfitters Gift Certificate.

Here's her winning essay:

My hands are shaking, at the same time I’m going crossed-eyed--seems like I’m already developing arthritis at the age twenty five. Pulling all nighters, skipping meals, not satisfied until every stitch that I put love into has met my expectations. Bold colors with a hint of neon radiating a person’s skin tone. By capturing the fluorescent of a woman’s curve, I decided to design uniquely shaped clothes for people who love to be the center of interest. Stylish monsters began to dazzle on into the boutique as they were astonished by the clothes. The fall collection was such an ultra hit that I donated one hundred dollars to Stanford University Charity Fashion Show. Students can embark their minds and continue to grow their passion for fashion, become more creative by experimenting in every possible way! I will now be collaborating with them, to share with them my creative eye.

Congrats, Patricia!

Today's prize is the chic new YSL Scent, Parisienne 32. oz ($85 value). You have until 8 am tomorrow to enter!

Efren A. of Eastlake High School in Chula Vista wins a pair of Mens' Cats 5000 Ray Bans ($130 value).

Here's the winning essay:

Countless hours of designing the perfect winter collection paid of well, with help from the design team, who quickly stitched, pinned, and cut the fabrics. The new winter collection was inspired by bold colors, textures, and the simplicity of line. Nothing too elaborate, wearable garments that had my signature touches. Women flocked into the boutique, purchasing garments that easily fused with their wardrobes, and bought gifts for the holiday season. The Autumn/ Winter collection was entirely sold out! The boutique’s income was more than expected, and we thought we should help a good cause. We donated one hundred dollars to the Designers Against Aids (DAA) to help with Aids awareness in the media. Our boutique is now designing a collection for this cause.

Today's prize is a $75 Urban Outfitters Card. You have until 8 am tomorrow to enter!

Current mood:

accomplished
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

Seventeen year old Olivia F. from South Pasadena will be able to sketch to her heart's content with her Hokey Croquis Sketch Pad and 38 Luminance Colored Pencils($119 value).

Here's her winning essay:

If I had my own fashion boutique, and had an increase in my profits, to spread love to charities, I would donate to the Big Brothers Big Sisters. I believe that all children need somebody in their lives who can be an excellent role model, because mentors in life are hard to come by. I would want to donate my extra $100 dollars to give children the tools they need in life. Through Big Brothers Big Sisters, the children I’d be supporting will reap the rewards of having a mentor in their life, forever. By donating, I am preventing insecurities in children, with one dedicated mentor at a time.
