A few months ago we asked our 15 year old daughter, Bree, to contribute to Makeup Bag with a weekly Teen Corner feature.

Bree with her 5 year old sister, Janey.

She’s been a trooper and has managed to post nearly every week despite her busy schedule.

It’s fun to see Bree express herself through makeup, as she has an “anything goes” approach. She’s far more sophisticated with application techniques than we were at her age. (Also, if we do say so ourself, she has the most amazing skin!)

We asked Bree to select a few items for her Teen Corner readers, and she, of course, selected MAC products.

Here are the winners:

• Ashley Samantha

• GK

• Kia

• A-Mused

• Genevieve

These lovely girls will receive the MAC products of Bree’s choice. Thank you for supporting Bree and Congratulations!

Keri is the first one at our party— Welcome, Keri!

We’re giving you the Trio Lèvres de Chanel Shiny Satin Lipgloss from the CHANEL Fall 2007 Collection.

Congratulations!

There’s a party going on at Makeup Bag today and we’re so glad you joined us!

Since this website launched in August 2006, we’ve worked hard to bring you the latest in beauty news and reviews. We’ve attended trade shows and conferences, interviewed some of our favorite beauty bloggers (David Ray of Makeup Beat, Kristen Kelly of Beauty Addict, and Annie of Blogdorf Goodman), and attended San Francisco Fashion Week.

We’ve been named by About.com as one of the Best Beauty Blogs on the Internet and one of Beauty Addicts Top Picks in Toptensources.com.

In honor of our first anniversary we’re giving away random prizes to our readers. Of the 1,500 readers that left comments in the last year (only a handful of which were mean and nasty, thank you) we’ve randomly selected five to win a $25.00 Sephora gift card.

Here’s our winners:

• Brittany
• Heidi
• Marisol
• Gretchen
• Megan M.

(Winners will also be notified via email.)

For all our readers that don’t usually leave comments, please say Hi! in the comment section below to let us know you stopped by and you’ll be entered to win some fab goodies. We’ll be doing drawings throughout the day today, so stay tuned.

Comments will close at 7 p.m. (pacific standard time).

Guess what we’re wearing on our lips?

Give up?

It’s only THE MOST INCREDIBLE RED we have ever had the pleasure of wearing: Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in P.S. Kiss.

The third must-have hue in Lancôme’s Pout-à-Porter series created exclusively for the runway, this deep burgundy-red was created by Lancôme artistic director Gucci Westman and designer Peter Som for his Fall 2007 Runway Show.

P.S. Kiss will be available in limited quantities beginning October 1st at Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Lancôme’s five U.S. boutiques, and lancome-usa.com. To secure your own tube, the waiting list opens September 1st.
