The Fairest preps for the Oscars!

Hello beauties!

It’s Oscar weekend, and we at The Fairest HQ are all abuzz over the big show.  (Who do you think’s going to win? Our money’s on Kathryn Bigelow and The Hurt Locker.)  Of course, while the awards are fun, what we really salivate over is all the red carpet glamour: this is Hollywood at its finest!  While few of us might ever experience the Academy Awards inside the Kodak theater, we’re still determined to look just as glowy and gorgeous as any of the nominees.

To that end: congratulations to Caity88, winner of last week’s Sue Devitt giveaway! Caity’s bathroom just got a lot more chockablock (we hope you don’t have roommates), since she won all of the following!

• Sue Devitt Mini Lip Gloss
• Sue Devitt E-Z Eye Shadow Roller Ball
• Sue Devitt Eye Intesifier Pencil
• Sue Devitt Silky Eye Shadow
• Sue Devitt Silky Blush
• Sue Devitt Black Widow Mascara
• Sue Devitt Bermuda Triangle Undereye Corrector
• Sue Devitt Starbrights Lip and Cheek

Ready for this week’s giveaway? We’ve partnered with Paul Mitchell (Happy 30th Birthday, PM!) to bring one reader of The Fairest an entirely new hair care wardrobe worth over $100! One lucky North American winner (that’s right, ladies in Canada and Mexico—you’re eligible, too!) will receive a collection of Paul Mitchell’s latest and greatest, including:

• Paul Mitchell Shampoo One
• Paul Mitchell Hair Repair Treatment
• Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Daily Boost
• Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum
• Paul Mitchell Super Strong Liquid Treatment
• Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Energizing Body Wash
• Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lavender Mint Moisturizing Body Lotion
• Paul Mitchell Express Style Fast Form
• Paul Mitchell Hair Sculpting Lotion

To enter, simply comment below with the name of your favorite hair brand. Good luck!
