Project Runway All Stars Kicks off January 5 on Lifetime

Second shot at stardom, contestants vie for winning collection to be sold in five Neiman Marcus locations and online at NeimanMarcus.com

Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing as guest judge | Lifetime, Thursday January 5th at 8pm. Check local listings

Project Runway and the highly anticipated All Stars season is about to begin!  What do you think about these 13 designers battling out for a second round?  None of the All Stars include any season winners, so it will be a chance to let new talent shine.  The spotlight certainly is on the entertaining Scarlett, no?  Will we see as many ball gowns as we did Season 1?

Project Runway has upped the ante for this “fan favorite” based season and partnered with Neiman Marcus on several counts:

  • Second, the famous Project Runway wall?  Neiman Marcus is known for fabulous accessories, and the wall will be adorned with selections for the designers .  When the designers get the call to style-out their looks, they’ll be selecting pieces from NM to complete the look.
  • Last but not least: The All Stars victor will see his or her collection in five Neiman Marcus locations as well as online at NeimanMarcus.com (Can you imagine seeing your own line in a shopping destination like Neiman Marcus? Dream come true!)

The show will provide tension, angst and textile eye candy for 12 weeks and is hosted by Angela Lindvall.  Judges include Joanna Coles (Editor of Marie Claire), Georgina Chapman and Isaac Mizrahi.

2012 Kickoff – Beauty Giveaway from Julep Maven

A new year is 365 days of new opportunities, and I have something that can help you through that time. The beauty mavens over at Julep are offering an exclusive discount and giveaway for you!

Julep is a boutique nail salon that carries their own line of polishes and products.  There are four locations in the Pacific Northwest – Seattle area, to be specific.  While each location offers unique membership pampering packages in addition to appointment/walk-in services, living in the area is only a plus.  Through the Julep Maven program, you can experience Julep by getting a sneak peek to the sets sent out to top beauty editors across the US every month. You’ll be sent first looks at color, plus sample top products.

Quick Review:

Julep sent me a Maven bag to test drive and of the items I received in my Maven bag is the Julep Glycolic Hand Scrub – a full 3 ounce bottle. I love this product because it does double duty as a cleanser and left a silky, exfoliated feel to my hands.  It is a great size for travel, and you can even use this for your face.  Shake this puppy up very well so that the ingredients are mixed before you try to squeeze any out. Proper exfoliation leads to better absorption of your beauty products that benefit your skin, so it is an important step.

Julep’s nail polishes come in a very unique bottle reminiscent of  Tom Ford’s Black Orchid .  Pretty and tapered, there are loads of colors to choose from in this collection.  Would you like to try a few of them?  The Maven program ensures you’ll get 12 months of Julep nail products for only $19.99 a month.

Julep is offering Solessence readers two additional ways to experience the brand!

1. Get Your Own Maven Box: Go to Julep.com, order your own Maven Box and type in Solessence at checkout. You’ll get your first box for only $5!  The Maven boxes are valued at $40 and available for a subscription price of $19.99 a month.  As a Solessence reader you’re saving almost $15 off the the already discounted subscription price.  Go for it!

2. Win Your Own 3 month Maven Subscription: Julep is generously offering Solessence readers a chance to win and 3 months of Maven Boxes (product value $120, subscription value ~ $60)!  Here is how you can kickoff 2012 as a Julep Maven –

  1. Go to Julep.com and take the style quiz.  This is the same quiz beauty editors across the US have taken to find out what Julep colors and hues they will most likely swoon over.  You need to know, you know?
  2. Come back here to this post on Solessence.com and in the comments, post your style.  It will be fun to see the trends!
  3. I’m on a little hiatus, so in two weeks I’ll be back to pull a winner at random and announce it.  Don’t worry, I’ll be checking in check out your styles.  You must include your real name and a working email.
