    I want to use Perricone's No Foundation Foundation because it contains SPF 30, gives natural coverage and doesn't contain parabens.

    Those bustiers look HOT!

    Another fab theme - I love the fendi one ( the one with the grey trousers and cream chiffon underneath)

    The Perricone sounds wonderful particularly with no parabens!

    I would love to find a bustier that doesn't look like it should stay in the bedroom. I think if I found the right one, I'd wear it under a boyfriend blazer and jeans paired with a chunky necklace :)

  11. MadeleineSeptember 6, 2009 at 10:45 AM

    I like the Jenni Kayne bustier the best, very pretty with pants or skirt.


    I need Perricone's No Foundation Foundation, it is just what i am looking for, I can't stand foundation, maybe it is my freckles, but it always looks as if I am wearing something to cover my face.
    I'd love to win it and try it.

    Thank-you for this giveaway Carrie

  12. BBSeptember 6, 2009 at 11:09 AM

    Not only do I want the Marc Jacobs item, but may I also please have the Rachel Roy? Thanks, Carrie ... my little "fashion fairy!" :)

    As for the No Foundation ... I need it simply because I am not fond of foundation since I am so pale, I'm almost clear. Ha. No shade EVER matches my skin and it's super costly to try and buy more than one to blend, blend, blend.

    I would love to be able to buy this product and even rave about it and its amazing-ness through my own personal review. A win-win, no?

    Thanks again for the INCREDIBLE bustiers ...

    I love the look of bustier over a white button down.

    I need no foundation foundation to even out my skin tone. Why, cause I'm a bad girl and am always in the sun. :(

  15. MSeptember 6, 2009 at 11:33 AM

    I want that Jenni Kayne bustier so badly!

    I would love to try the Perricone foundation too... my skin is very translucent and pale, so I need lots of SPF and a very natural coverage, otherwise I just end up looking cakey!

    I'm all over the Fendi molded leather bustier. Yum!

    I need No Foundation Foundation because I'm getting older and those teeny tiny little lines are just starting to appear. I want to nip those bad boys in the bud! ;)

    amazing give-a-way! Because I always either use too much or too little foundation and either way it never looks the way that I want it too-as if my skin is just fantastic without any makeup. Plus, I love that it was created by a doctor without the use of parabens with SPF 30!

My favorites are probably the Ann D and Nina Ricci ones, because there's a slight edginess to them, but I'll take all of these, thank you...

    hmmm..but i don't think it will look good on me.

    oh, i want that perricone! i've seen their ad in one of the fashion magazines. the first time i saw it on ad, i'm dreaming and wishing to own it soon. i hope my wish will be granted. cc, i badly needed that perricone, i believe it's an effective product and i'm sure it will make me beautiful.
