Get Your Beauty Fix on the Go

BellaSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 08:00:11 -0700

I have phone envy. As a BlackBerry user, I've been debating the switch to an iPhone for a while. They're just so slick and glossy and gorgeous. Not to mention all of the amazing applications. Speaking of, now there's a new app close to our Sugar hearts, the ShopStyle app. That's right, our sister site has just launched a mobile version of its incredibly addicting shopping site. Gloss on the go? Makeup on the move? Consider me converted.

As if instantaneous beauty fixes weren't enough, ShopStyle is promoting the app with a fabulous giveaway. From now until June 11, you can win a DVF handbag and a $500 gift card to Barneys. That's a lot of beauty goodies! To enter, simply submit your email address via the contest page. Get shopping.

Once there, under the picture, you'll find a series of tags and several ways to play: you can comment, send an email, become a fan of the look ("love this"), or add a look of your own. Click either "add a look" link to get started.

On the next screen you'll be prompted to create a look. First, click on the "add image" button.

Now a new window will pop up. Leave the tab in "Search ShopStyle" and type in a product description for the item you're looking for (e.g. if you're looking for a black turtleneck, type in "black turtleneck.").

Once you've found the perfect item, click on the product and it will show up on your look page.

Repeat for every item that you'd like to include in your look.
When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "save look." Your look will now show up with the editor's look on the CelebStyle story (and you'll be entered into the contest!).
