For Spring 2010, Lancôme is collaborating with emerging designer Chris Benz and they need your help! They’re doing a lipstick naming contest that was announced on Chris Benz’s Facebook fan page today. The new shade will be inspired by Chris’ Spring 2010 collection and will be worn by the models at his show in September. The contest winner will receive five of the lipsticks plus a $500 Lancôme gift certificate. All you have to do is post your suggestion on Chris’ Facebook fan page based on what you know about Chris and his fashion personality.

Nail Break - KISS Everlasting French Neon Nails
These are a little bit to loud for the corporate workplace, but as soon as I rolled out of bed on Saturday I glued them on to start off my weekend. As with all KISS Nails, they are super easy to put on. I received a size medium and normally I wear short. I surprising did a really good job at filing them down and looked like my natural nails.
There's nothing better than a Saturday morning pontoon rides with a cup of hot coffee to start off my day.
