Chris Benz x Lancome Limited Edition GWP for Saks

It's another stellar collab effort between prestige beauty company Lancôme and American fashion designer Chriz Benz. This time he's partnered with the brand for a sweet little limited edition gift with purchase, which will be sold exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue from June 14 - June 25.

Beauty fanatics will remember Benz's wildly popular Chris & Tell lippie from Lancôme's Pout-a-Porter designer lip collection last Spring.  We all raced to get our hands on one. The celebrated designer and frequent Lancôme collaborator is loved by celebrities like Jessica Szohr, Susan Sarandon, Elettra Wiedemann and Eva Amurri and now he’s created a tote solely for Lancôme customers.

Customers will receive the complimentary Chris Benz-designed tote with any $60 purchase, up to a $119 value. Printed with a chic, stylized silhouette, the exclusive design makes the perfect summer accessory. And although receiving the tote would certainly be gift enough, Lancôme has packed the tote with must have products (Définicils Precious Cells Mascara and Absolue Hand), you have the option to select your moisturizer (Absolue Premium BX or Absolue Precious Cells) and your pink (L’Absolu Rouge in Pink Sapphire, Juicy Tubes in Moulin Rose & Blush Subtil in Rose Fresque) or coral (L’Absolu Rouge in Fleur Impressioniste , Juicy Tubes in Coral Rush & Blush Subtil in Shimmer Coral Sunset) makeup trio to tote inside the Benz bag.

To celebrate the collaboration, Chris Benz will make a personal appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City on June 23rd from 5 -7 p.m. (ET), toasting the fashion-forward partnership.

Ummmm ... can you say, "Run! Don't walk for this particular GWP event!" ?  Yes, well, do so.  Fair warning, I'm posting this for you, then quickly clicking over the Saks to take advantage of this myself.  It's only while supplies last. Enjoy! xo

Chris Benz x Lancôme: Pout-à-Porter Lipstick Collection Continues

shade: Chris & Tell - a peachy, pastel carrot

Lancôme is thrilled to announce they're bringing back the Pout-à-Porter Lipstick series!

The previous four lipsticks in this collection were collaborations with celebrated designers Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, Peter Som and Thakoon. Thakoon's Pixel Pink and Peter Som's P.S. Kiss were my two personal favorites, though all four of them received lots of love from the beauty blogging community and from editorial print. All four of the lipsticks sold out in their heyday, and one Proenza Pink lipstick even sold for $122.50 on eBay.

For Spring 2010 Lancôme is collaborating with emerging designer Chris Benz and they want your help! They're doing a lipstick naming contest that was announced on Chris Benz’s Facebook fan page today and they're spreading the word to all the beauty blogging readers. 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 name suggestion on Chris’ Facebook fan page based on what you know about Chris and his fashion personality.

Waste no time as the deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 12th, at 5 p.m. EST.
