Gigi here! I'm not certain why I disclose major embarrassments of my life in this forum, but perhaps it is because I am so very comfortable with and trusting of you wonderful women.  Seriously--I never dreamed a group could be as supportive, brilliant, hysterical, and kind!

Let's rewind to my teen years.  I was a majorette and going to perform in one of the larges t parades in the area.  Everyone went--my boyfriend was going to be there with his friends (okay, I was in love with him but always believed in keeping my options open).  I was decked out in a black mini skirt in size "Malibu Barbie" and had a black top adorned with gold sequins.  My boots were polished and my tassels perfectly fluffed.  I had the dance routine perfected so that I didn't hit myself in the head yet again with the baton and cause a concussion.

I saw my sister immediately after a flawless performance.  She is a short woman, barely five feet tall, but she still wields a lot of power because of her being older.  I asked how I did, expecting her to fawn.  Her reaction?  "Gigi, what the heck did you do with your mascara?  There are tarantulas on your eyes and I don't know how you can hold head up without being a hunchback."  I wish she had told me what she really thought!  Actually, I was a spiked Goth before it was fashionable or Scarlett O'Hara with her lashes on steroids!  I realized what she meant--more is not necessarily good.  I had kept applying coats before the parade.

Sweetassgal here...laughing a little about Meg's description of the women who dress up on Halloween, and I have to say for the most part girlie nailed it!  I, however, am one of those rare creatures who lays in bed at night for weeks prior to All Hallows Eve planning every detail of my costume and salivating over my pending trip to the fabric store for beaded applique and sequined fringe!  Yes, I make my costumes and I LOVE dressing up (minus the tramp girl motif...I'll leave that to the Hollywood starlets trying to get on Extra's Fashion Police list) in the most elaborate costumes I can dream up.  I have not missed, nor have I duplicated a costume in 35 years and I don't intend to. I will be 80 years old, dressing up like Greta Garbo in a silk dressing gown with marabou trim handing out candy to neighbor kids vamping "I want to be left alone!".  But I don't...I want every little witch, goblin and three foot Spiderman within a twenty block radius to stop on by and raid my candy bowl!

For this years costume I went as a Flapper dressed all in black and white.  Not original...I know...but it suited my mood and I was dying to try my hand at a really killer headband.  I spent hours hot gluing satin roses, feathers, rhinestones and sequins to the coolest elastic I could find and I felt like the girliest girl in the world.  And I for one have to say GOD BLESS GOSSIP GIRL for bringing headbands and girlie frill back!  Now that my headpiece was complete I needed really my makeup to POP and turned to my latest offering from Meg to make it happen.  Tarte's Lifted Natural Eye Primer with Firmitol was calling my name and was just the ticket to give my all black and white makeup the kick it needed for some true depth.  

Meg here! I get all sorts of torture devices that we use daily to look good. I use them, if I'm feeling a bit bloated I'll shimmy and pull and hold my breath until I feel like I'm going to pass out to put this tummy slimmer I have on. Its even more serious then spanx. I get it from Trashy Hollywood and its the same one that they use on extreme makeover shows! You know those before and after shots? Where everyone "Oohs and Aahs?" Guess what? This may blow your mind but sometimes those makeover showers Cheat! I know, you're probably so so shocked right now. Anyhow I know more then a few shows that keep my industrial strength girdle as a "must have at all times" in wardrobe!

MissRo here! We can't seem to get enough of Dr. Dima's Cosminology! A couple of weeks ago I wrote about her Kharmic Khameleon - AstroKoncealer. I was saying how you didn't need to use any foundation, because you get amazing coverage from this product. Well, now you can win it!

Yup, this Vitamin E infused with healing botanicals and potent anti-inflammatory extracts can be yours. With natural sunscreen, talc-free, crease-proof and a long lasting mineral formulation, you will be amazed by how this concealer is like a second skin.

So the question is, how are you going to win this lovely, little concealer? Tell us what your frustration is with foundations and concealers. Do you have any skin issues where you need serious coverage? Tell us your story and you just might win!
