You guys, I’m so excited I can barely breathe.
I mentioned in my LuckyFABB post that I was one of 30 bloggers selected to audition for the New Voices of Beauty Contest while I was in New York for the conference. Well, I just heard from team Lucky that I have been selected as a finalist! Whaaaat!
The 8 finalists were chosen by Lucky Magazine and P&G Beauty based on our on-camera interviews we filmed in the Lucky casting office. (If you would like to see me stumble through my answers, the vid is up on the Lucky site!)
After my whirlwind experience with Allure this year, I thought it wasn’t possible for something like this to come along again. Guess I was wrong! It is seriously blowing my mind that I’m in another contest with another fabulous publication that I adore… and also the largest consumer beauty company, like, ever. (In case you aren’t familiar, P&G practically owns the world… including some of the best beauty brands like COVERGIRL, Olay, Pantene, and Secret.)
The 8 of us will be whittled down to 4 winners that will be selected on January 6th based on a combination of public votes and a Lucky and P&G Beauty Judging Panel.
The 4 winning bloggers will receive:
- Title of “New Voices of Beauty Honorary Blogger”
- Year’s supply of COVERGIRL, Olay, Pantene, and Secret product (If I win, you better believe I will be hosting giveaways for you guys with some of those goodies!)
- Feature in a Lucky-produced “A Day in the Life of the New Voices of Beauty” Video filmed in New York City
- Recognition on P&G Beauty Media Platforms like StyleUnited by PGEveryDay.com
Of course, this honor will also be paired with serious beauty cred and opportunities out the wazoo.
I seriously could not do any of this without my awesome readers, so thank you guys SO MUCH for all of your support. And thank you in advance for the continued support because I’m going to need your help again! Only 4 bloggers will earn the New Voices of Beauty title, so I need your votes to stay in the game! Voting continues through December 6th and I would love you forever if you would visit this link and vote. Sharing is also much appreciated!
Keeping with tradition, I just have to pair a cocktail with this news. I hope you will all join me in a drink today to celebrate! I present to you, The Lucky Rita. Cheers! 😉
