We had a phenomenal response to the Pink Limited Edition Clarisonic Giveaway and so many compelling reasons from people. Boy was it hard to pick a winner (all random, we swear). It’s hard because we want to give each and every one of you a unit, but alas, supplies are limited.

So with that said, CONGRATULATIONS to: LisaRN.

Remember this Clarisonic comes with a Body Brush as well, so you’ll be buffed and ready for the beach even if Wintry winds do blast our way.

Thank you to ALL who participated. Remember to stay tuned for more great giveaways.

Not SWAK, SWAC. AKA “Sealed with a Cure.” Aack!

We love the new partnership between Purple Lab and the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation. The result of this pink union is a feel good lip gloss that boosts beauty, health and confidence. It has health- boosting and immune system-enhancing ingredients of Mangosteen and Echinacea. Genius!

It’s also scented with uplifting vanilla (I’m a sucker for anything vanilla…it’s my elixir). It also has REAL GOLD flecks and enriched with anti-aging peptides. We’re beside ourselves like someone who just got hitched. Ding, dong, we’re married!

It costs only $18.50 at www.b-glowing.com

A portion of the proceeds goes to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.

Purple Lab has geniuses in their R&D, we’re sure. No doubt the swine flu cure is a launch they’ll unveil shortly.

A cologne, lotion and bath oil that have seven types of roses from around the world bottled in them cannot be anything less than fit for the Queen. Or Helen Mirren.

The scent is not overpowering; it’s like a whisper but before you know it you’re smelling like a garden. It has a heart of crushed violet leaves and hints of lemon and spearmint.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jo Malone will give $15,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in connection with the North American sales of Red Roses Cologne and Bath Oil.

Jo Malone‘s Red Roses Bath Oil is actually a favorite of Evelyn Lauder’s. It costs $60 for 250 ml.

The lotion is $65, and the cologne is priced at $55 for 30ml and $100 for 100ml.

Kudos to Shiseido makeup director Dick Page for his Fall 2009 Color Collection. We’re especially fixated on several great new eye products, starting with the Luminizing Satin Eye Color range. The eye colors were previewed on the FW Fall 2009 runways for leading designers including Michael Kors and Narciso Rodriguez.

The dazzling mono-eyeshadow palettes come in 15 shades of neutrals, pastels and brights. Cavern and Alchemy are two color options that flatter all skin tones. At $25, the formulation contains dual-optimizing powder and satin smooth pearl to deliver a luminous, silky finish, and “super hydro-wrap vitalizing DE” to provide continuous moisture.

We never had any luck with eyeliners until we drew a perfect line on our first try with Shiseido’s Smoothing Eyeliner Pencil ($20). It comes in black and brown and has a smudge applicator on the other end for blending or creating a smoky eye.

The Natural Eyebrow Pencil ($20) is our absolute favorite. The pencil, which comes in four shades, doesn’t deposit any detectable color but rather melds into the natural color of our brows. Without looking like we’ve applied any product, we can quickly make our eyebrows appear full and symmetrical. A smoothing brush is attached to finish the look.

From now through the end of October, Shiseido will donate $5 from every sale of Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Peony to Cancer and Careers, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting working women living with cancer. So we can do some good while looking great.

The complete collection is available at Shiseido counters everywhere and on sca.shiseido.com

Every three minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. This staggering statistic resonated deeply with the members of the Total Beauty blog community, many of whom have been personally touched by the disease.

So in the spirit of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Total Beauty blog community is hosting a month-long initiative that integrates breast cancer awareness, fundraising to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Fund (BCRF) and beauty giveaways to engage women in the quest for the cure.

“Total Beauty – Total Cure” is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection, and arming women with the knowledge they need to take control of their health, bringing us one step closer to a world without breast cancer. Breast cancer information, screening guidelines, and links to available resources will be integrated throughout the campaign. And each participating blogger has pledged to raise funds for BCRF.

Each day, all month long, you can enter here for the day’s new giveaway, hosted on one of TB’s blog community sites.

Giveaway sponsors include Anastasia Beverly Hills, Benefit, Cargo, Clarisonic, Jurlique, L’Oreal Paris, NARS, Stila and Tarte. This unique collaboration of beauty bloggers, beauty brands and Total Beauty is one to show a united voice of strength and hope that, someday soon, we will close in on a cure to breast cancer.

If you are interested in making a monetary contribution, we ask that you visit www.bcrf.org
