Jaime Richards — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:24:00 PST

Lancôme's gifts with purchase offers are always a best bet, and this time around is no exception. From now until Jan. 28 at Saks Fifth Avenue, a $65 Lancôme purchase will get you a Sophie Theallet-designed cosmetics case - apparently she got the memo on the whole put-a-bird-on-it movement - full of beauty loot. The fashionably playful bag comes brimming with the following seven products: Visionnaire, Bi-Facil, La Base Pro, Hypnôse Doll Lashes mascara, and your choice of a moisturizer, lip color, and four-pan eye shadow compact. And as if that's not enough, you can stop by any of the beauty brand's Saks counters during the promotion and enter to win a fashion- and beauty-packed trip to NYC. A cute bag with even cooler products: it's a win-win with this deal.

Across the pond, these Lancôme Beauty Christmas Crackers are a grand way to usher in the holiday season. Crackers, which generally consist of a small gift and a message of some sort, are a much more common lagniappe in the UK, but if you want these and won't settle for anything less, you can always make your own cracker by putting your Juicy Tube or L'Absolu Rouge inside a piece of thin cardboard tubing, wrapping it in tissue paper, and tying the ends with ribbon.

All this month, Dillard's and Lancôme have been raising funds to support St. Jude, and this Friday the 21st (aka "Genes Day"), it's your chance to help out even more. The beauty brand will donate $7 from each purchase of Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate ($58 to $125), pledging $300,000 from the day's sales to benefit the children's hospital. Watch the video above to see Lancôme's Michelle Phan and Arlenis Sosa talk more about the event. And to learn some truly touching statistics that I learned after visiting the hospital firsthand, just keep reading.

You Can Help Lancôme Raise Funds For St. Jude

Jaime Richards — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:05:08 PDT

Did you know that it takes $1.7 million dollars a day to operate St. Jude Children's Research Hospital? Even more astounding is the fact that no child is ever denied treatment regardless of his or her family's financial situation. Recently, Lancôme flew a group of online beauty editors (including myself) down to Memphis to visit St. Jude where we not only experienced a truly inspiring look behind the daily goings-on at the hospital, but interacted with the kids firsthand. What I found to be most touching, however, was the unbreakable spirit of the patients; children who are being treated for the unimaginable: pediatric cancer or other catastrophic illnesses.

Emma Watson Is the Ultimate Gamine in New Trésor Ad

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:26:00 PDT

We've already seen a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Emma Watson's new ad for Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose, and now the short film has just been released. In it, Emma looks like a sylph who has just stepped right out of a Jean-Luc Godard film in 1960 - and, on her way, stopped by a John Hughes movie in the 1980s to borrow clothes, a soundtrack, and mood lighting. It's a fun commercial, but are you charmed by its French New Wave film aesthetic?

How to Get Kim Kardashian's Wedding Day Makeup Look

Susan Yara — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:27:20 PDT

There's no doubt that Kim Kardashian looked like a princess on her wedding day. After all, she did wear three different couture gowns and a sparkling diamond headpiece. But while most of her look (as well as the event) was over the top and glamorous, her makeup was surprisingly a little more subdued and romantic. Find out which Lancôme products her longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic used after the jump.

Go Behind the Scenes of Emma Watson's Lancome Campaign

Annie Tomlin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:12:48 PDT

If I could go back to my 21-year-old self, I'd say, "Self, you might want to have a little more poise like that Watson girl." For as you can see, Emma Watson is articulate, graceful, and altogether lovely in this making-of video for her forthcoming campaign for Lancôme's Trésor Midnight Rose fragrance. Filmed by Mario Testino in the luxurious Hotel Crillon in Paris, the spot shows Emma appearing elegant as ever. The fragrance goes on sale in September, just two months before the release of her next film, My Week With Marilyn.

The UK Won't Allow "Excessive" Airbrushing in Makeup Ads

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:10:00 PDT

The large amounts of Photoshop used in makeup advertisements has long been a hot-button issue in the UK, and this week the nation's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) handed down a strict judgment against two L'Oréal foundation ads. "If advertisers go too far in using airbrushing and other post-production techniques to alter the appearance of models and it's likely to mislead people, then that's wrong and we'll stop the ads," said Guy Parker, the ASA's chief executive.

The ASA ruled that both ads depicted the models (Julia Roberts for Lancôme and Christy Turlington for Maybelline) with skin altered in a way that the products could never actually achieve. But do you think airbrushing like this is really harmful? Refer to Julia Roberts's ad up top, and keep reading to see the banned Christy Turlington ad.

Kate Winslet Picks a Dramatic Gown For Her Latest Lancôme Layover

Katie Henry — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:48:57 PDT

Kate Winslet dazzled in a dramatic Ralph Lauren gown yesterday at a Lancôme press conference in Beijing. China was Kate's latest international destination following her trip to Spain, where she was honored for her humanitarian work at Madrid's Yo Dona International Awards last month. Kate's trips around the globe are possible during a break from filming and promotional work, though work is about to get busy again. New images from Roman Polanski's Carnage are out ahead of the movie's Fall release. The drama, based on the popular play God of Carnage, hits theaters in November, and Kate will next star with Josh Brolin in the unconventional love story Labor Day.
