I’m sure many of you are fans of Lancome products.  I know I am!  It’s funny how I used Lancome for years when I was in my 20’s and then it faded into my beauty background for no particular reason.  About two years ago I had a facial and the facialist used several Lancome skin care products and started raving about them to me.   I purchased a few products and fell back in love with Lancome in my mid to late 40’s.   

After reacquainting myself with the skin care I decided to check into the makeup line, more than just the oh so popular mascaras.   I think I now wear at least one if not more, makeup product from Lancome on my face daily.  

I’ve been fortunate enough to have met a few of the women that work at Lancome PR, like Patricia, Kerry and Erin – all lovely women and so happy to have met them.   One year ago (where does time fly!) Kerry started writing a blog for Lancome, so they’re celebrating their birthday by doing a giveaway.   One lucky winner will get a chance to win 5 Lancome beauty products of their choice!   The Lancome Blog is one of my favorite “Daily Must Reads” and Kerry keeps us up to date not only on the Lancome beauty scene, but with fashion, what’s hot, who’s cool and of course, cupcakes!

Be sure to head on over to the Lancome Blog and enter for your chance to win!   And tell Kerry Happy Birthday from Fab Over 40!

Congratulations to winner LISA S. #27 chosen by Random.org

I know many of you have told me what fans you are of Dr. Perricone’s products, so you’ll be thrilled to know that Perricone MD is teaming up with Fabulous Over 40 for a giveaway of their award winning new product, Cold Plasma.

I recall a few months back seeing Cold Plasma being sold and talked about on QVC and it piqued my interest and now Cold Plasma has won the 2009 WWD Beauty Biz Award, which also seems impressive. I have personally not tried Cold Plasma, but I am more interested than ever! What is Cold Plasma? It sounds like a wonderful cream that could solve a lot of issues! After 5 years of research by Dr. Perricone and his team, its patented delivery system addresses the 10 most prominent signs of aging:

1. Wrinkles
2. Enlarged Pores
3. Dryness
4. Redness
5. Discoloration
6. Uneven Skin Tone
7. Loss of Firmness
8. Impurities
9. Loss of Radiance
10. Loss of Smoothness

This sounds like a cream that would solve a lot of skin care issues for those of us over 40! I like that this $150 jar of cream also comes with a 100% money back guarantee. See their site for details.

Here’s how you can enter your chance to win your own Cold Plasma. Just tell me in the comments why you need or would like to try Cold Plasma, along with your name. You can enter daily if you’d like. The giveaway ends Sunday, March 7th at 11:59 PM CST. Open to US & Canada only.  Winner will be drawn by a random numbering machine. Good luck!
