Memories With Mom & Almay Trip Opportunity!

by Jennifer Dunn on May 9, 2013

Almay's Mother's Day Contest

A fashion lover at heart, I’m always excited about new products on the market to try or experience and brands to discover.  But, that’s not to say that those tried and true brands we’ve always loved aren’t just as exciting to rediscover, sometimes those are the overlooked jewels that are even better, when rediscovered!  Almay is one of those industry staples, a household name for any woman who has an inkling for makeup and beauty products.  I have used Almay since I was a teenager and first began my love with makeup.  I have always preferred a more natural makeup appearance.  Almay’s Clear Complexion Makeup in Naked, was the first foundation that worked on my acne prone skin as a teenager yet still let me achieve that natural appearance I was looking for.  It didn’t give me a red or yellow tinged base when it dried, felt great, and helped prevent and treat my acne to boot!  I was in love!  That love story has continued through the years, so you can imagine my delight when Dino Dogan, from Triberr, collaborated with Almay and approached me to take on a spokesperson role for them this month! I am delighted to partner with Triberr & Almay and hope that you all will all enjoy the journey with me as well!

I think everyone loves Goldie Hawn.  From her endearing roles in Private Benjamin to her blockbuster hit in Overboard, she has wooed audiences with her girl-next-door look for years.  I first saw Kate Hudson in the 2002 movie, The Four Feathers, and wondered who the new stunning beauty was.  Initially, I had no idea the two were related, but as she emerged as an actress and we saw more of her, it became readily evident that Kate was Goldie Hawn’s daughter – the on screen talent, natural beauty, and girl-next-door similiarities that they both share is uncanny.  Perhaps that’s why I’m drawn to the natural authenticity in their relationship together.  Take a look at what I mean as they talk about their Mother/Daughter relationship together:

I love their love for life & vitality!  Despite all of their fame, they still have remained grounded and real.  To me, that’s relatable beauty we don’t see often in Hollywood these days.

Kate Hudson is Almay’s Global Brand Ambassador.  In celebration of Mother’s Day, Almay has partnered with Kate & her Mom Goldie and announced a Makeup Moments with Mom, Mother’s Day Contest this year!  They are inviting women to enter their nationwide Facebook contest and upload a picture of you and your Mom along with your favorite makeup memory you share together.  One lucky winner will win a trip and makeover for herself and her Mom to NYC! How awesome is that?

Any resident, 18 years of age or older, living in the contiguous 48 US states or District of Columbia, can enter the contest by visiting Almay’s Facebook Page and submitting a photo and favorite makeup moment together. Entries will be accepted until June 2, 2013. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of Almay judges, and the top ten finalists will be announced on June 10, 2013. America will then vote on the finalist they believe shared the best makeup moment by visiting Almay’s Facebook Page. The finalist with the most votes will be unveiled as the lucky prize winner on July 10, 2013.

If you’re like me, you’ll have fun thinking back to those many special moments you’ve shared with Mom throughout the years.  So, will you be packing your bags for a lucky getaway and makeover for YOU & YOUR Mom?  You’ll never know what new special memories you can build together during that time unless you do!  I know I will be entering!

Until next time,

Jennifer Dunn Your Trendy Stylist
