Red Carpet Ready Giveaway
Why should the celebs have all the pampering fun? In honor of the Oscars, we want to give you a chance to live out your own red carpet fantasy. Here's your chance to feel like Hollywood royalty. While we don't have a glam squad to send to your door (what we wouldn't give to have that on an everyday basis), we do have an amazing gift basket of glam-you-up goodies to give away. There's over $650 worth of pampering essentials from the following brands:
- Borba
- Sue Devitt Beauty
- Per-fekt
- Anokha Skin Care
- Brocato Hair Care
- Twist & Pout
- Perfect Formula
- Sea Breeze
- E.L.F.
- King of Shaves
- Mystic Tan
- Infusium 23
- VMV Hypoallergenics
I'm specifically obsessing over the Sue Devitt Microquatic Oxygen Infusion Masque--it uses active oxygen molecules that create this delicious foaming sensation on your skin. Five minutes with this makes your skin look like you just woke up from the world's most restorative beauty sleep cycle.
The King of Shaves Pamper & Moisturize Shaving Gel is also a fab red carpet pick because it not only gets your legs rid of unsightly stubble (essential if you're rocking that unconventional short dress or up-to-there slit) it also leaves your legs looking soft, smooth and sexy. Hint, hint Mo'Nique.

My favorite Oscar look ever was when Sharon Stone did the combo of the Gap t-shirt and the beautiful long skirt. The mix of casual and luxe, everyone's fashion and super haute-- that's total style and very much our first lady is mixing it up now. I love that. Makes fashion both accessible and inspiring.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE YEAR JULIA ROBERTS WON THE OSCAR , THE 73RD ACADEMY AWARDS, SHE WORE A DARK GOWN WITH A GORGEOUS TRAIN AND HER HAIR AND MAKEUP WERE WONDERFUL. SHE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.

I have two favourite Oscar looks....Julia Roberts in her black and white full length gown and Halle Berry when she won her Oscar for best actress. Both classy looks and classy ladies. What I wouldn't give to look like one of them. :-)

A few years ago Renee Zellwillger wore a gorgeous red gown that I still remember. She looked like a real moviestar with her hair done up 50s style, red lipstick and that dress!

Jennifer Aniston -- I think she was just presenting, but she was wearing a simple black dress, nothing super glamorous. I liked her for the fact that Brad and Angelina were sitting in the front row, and I think it took a lot of guts to be up there. She handled it with dignity and looked natural and beautiful.

Penelope Cruz in 2007 - Atelier Versace. She looked beautiful and totally the right look for the night.

I'm going to go against the grain and saw Cher's 1986 Bob Mackie Oscar look is my favorite. I know, I know, it's universally regarded as one of the worst Oscar looks ever, but hear me out. It was a bold statement to the academy saying "I'M HERE! Take me as I am because I'm not changing for you"
Bold and one of a kind, just like Cher.

As much as Jessica Simpsons weight is an issue throughout Hollywood, i love how she always looks fabulous no matter what size she is. She has a no care attitude about it. I really loved her daisy duke days but now that weight is an issue, she shows us all that sometimes size doesn't matter.
Was this comment helpful?
It's down to two choices for me- either I agree with Jess, and have to go for Sharon Stone's 1998 pairing of a Vera Wang lilac skirt with a Gap button down (so casual chic!) or Charlize Theron's orange Vera Wang from 2000. She received mixed reviews that year- but anyone else would have flowndered completely- and she managed to pull it off with glamour to spare! Vera Wang almost always delivers the perfect Oscar gown!

I loved Michelle William's curry-hued '30s-inspired chiffon gown by Vera Wang, which she wore with bright red lipstick at the 2006 Oscars. The lines of the dress were just beautiful and the color was a real standout on the red carpet. Not to mention that Ms Williams herself looked both comfortable and happy.

There are always so many beautiful looks, and of course some hideous ones, that are magnificently fun to look at. Hallie Berry always looks classy as well as Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman. Kate Hudson's white dress from a few years ago was to die for!

I would have to say that Helen Mirren looked absolutely fabulous on the red carpet the year she won for "The Queen". She shows that there IS a graceful way to age and still look beautiful!

My favorite Oscar look was Gwyneth Paltrow when she won for "Shakespeare in Love" in 1999. She was gorgeous in her feminine pink Ralph Lauren gown, her hair in a classic, sophisticated up-do and simple, glowing makeup. She looked like the the definition of a beautiful Hollywood movie star. I think her look was glamorous and flawless.

Halle Berry in 2002 if I HAVE to pick one favorite. She stunning anyway but her dress was icing on a gorgeous cake.
However, Julia Roberts usually looks amazing as I expect her to this year and I always expect Jennifer Aniston to look beautiful and classy and yet somehow very natural at the same time.

Sharon Stone sticks out in my mind with a simple white tee shirt. Her simple dress left you awe inspired to see her for her natural beauty. She wore a natural look with her make-up which further made you see just her for her natural beauty. Her face in pure form with it's classic Hollywood features made all the other women there look over done and plastic. She was beauty in classic form.

Julianne Moore in emerald green Yves Saint Laurent designed by Tom Ford at the '03 Academy Awards. Gorgeous!
Was this comment helpful?
I cannot pick just one that stands out in my memory. Over the years there have been many that I think were just stunning, and too numerous to list. What I really enjoy is watching the redcarpet as they all enter and see the beautiful dresses and accessories that the normal person could never afford but items you can dream about owning in your next life when you too are famous. Of course if we had the professionals working on getting us ready for work or a date we would also be impeccable in our looks from make-up to hair, to wardrobe and accessories, it takes a lot of work, but if you find what you are comfy in and can do on your own, thats what its all aout. Would love to win this basket so I can try a lot of the products.

My all-time favorite (so far) is Reese Witherspoon - 2007 - Nina Ricci floor-length gown in a deep purple - she looked terrific (always does). Other faves - 1999 Gweneth Paltrow in her pink Ralph Lauren Gown (I copied that look in a ball skirt for a New Year's Eve party later that year because I loved the color so much) and last, but definitely not least, Sharon Stone in 1999 in her Gap shirt and Valentino skirt - with the white flower - looked Terrific! Who knows, maybe we'll all have new favorites this year? : )

I honestly was blown away by the sexiness and polished look that Sandra Bullock pulled off at the Academy Awards this year. Her dress was like her personality, outgoing but classy. Her bright red lipstick gave her polished look a dramatic touch, and her straight simple hair wrapped everything together. Sandra pulled off this look with class and she was herself up there on that stage accepting her award. The bells and whistles are nothing to this actress. She was simply a vision in her Oscar ensemble.
