Rent The Runway Giveaway!

How many times has this happened to you?

There's a special occasion on the horizon and you've got nothing to wear. So you search and search (and search some more) for the perfect dress. Except you never find it, and you end up settling on a dress that's event appropriate and looks halfway decent because you've run out of time and going naked isn't an option. So once you've donned the so-so dress, it gets banished to the back of your closet - never to be worn again because, frankly, you were never truly in love with it to begin with.

Story of my life. Maybe my problem is that I'm a celebrity - in my own head - who hates to wear the same special outfit twice. Or perhaps it's that getting all dolled up in a fresh frock is so damn fun.

So a few weeks ago as I planned a blog business trip to NYC, I was literally trippin' about my lack of wardrobe options. After an exhaustive search for the perfect ensemble, I was almost ready to settle on this sad sundress hanging in my closet...until I remembered Rent The Runway, a website were you can rent designer dresses and accessories.


Here's how it works: Search the dresses and accessories you love from over 100 of the top designers in the world. Schedule a delivery date. Select a FREE backup dress size for the perfect fit. The dresses and accessories are yours for 4 or 8 days! When you’re done looking cute, put your order in the pre-paid package and drop it in the nearest USPS mailbox. They take care of the dry cleaning.

Since I'm petite with an hourglass figure, finding a dress that fits is the proverbial needle in a haystack. So as I perused Rent The Runway's selection, I opted for the India Paisley Dress from Tibi (left)- thanks to the short length and adjustable straps. The dress also has hidden boy shorts underneath, which was an added bonus. And if you rent a second dress, it's only $25. So I also chose this By The Lily Pond Dress by Yumi Kim (right) - just in case the Tibi dress was a bust. If you're particularly concerned about fit, there are great user reviews - or you can chat with a "fit specialist."

To complete my outfit, I rented these gorge Kendra Scott Danielle earrings in Turquoise. It pained me so much to return them that, this weekend, I broke down and bought them at the designer's website (and scored 20% off with promo code PSW20 - expires 7/5).
Oh...and I forgot to mention that Rent The Runway just announced that they have Lancôme products available for purchase!

The Tibi dress (in the smaller size) ended up fitting great - and, as you can see, I paired it (and my Kendra Scott earrings) with a Talbots cardigan, Aldo sandals and Banana Republic fedora.

I had such a great rental experience that I want to give Spoiled Pretty readers the opportunity to try it too. So I'm partnering with Rent The Runway on a fash-tastic giveaway, and one lucky lady will win a $100 gift card!!!

To enter, visit Rent The Runway and sign up for membership (it's free!). Browse the dress selection, pick your favorite and tell me (in the comments) what you picked and where/how you'd rock it. Be sure to post your email, Twitter handle (make sure you're following @spoiledpretty so I can DM you) or some other way for me to get in touch if you win. To be eligible, you must reside in the Continental U.S.

Contest ends on Friday at 5pm ET. I'll announce the winner then. Good luck!

*A gift card was provided for review and this giveaway is sponsored by Rent The Runway.

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Red Carpet Glow


Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty, Makeup Mondays with Mario.


Hey Mario!

I think you're so sweet to be giving advice to people! But one thing I have to ask is about the celebrity glow that most celebrities have when they're on the red carpet. I visited a few makeup stores and they all keep telling me to use Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs. I did, but it was just so messy and it smudged everywhere, especially on my clothes and it made me look more oily rather than giving me a glow. I'm already tanned so I don't need to get something with color/tint in it – what I want is the shine and the glow.

What do actual celebrities use to get that awesome Brazilian glow (face & body)? I really hope you have the answers!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks in advance,
Mona

Hi Mona,

Achieving that red carpet glow that you and so many others love may require some trial and error. Celebrities and their makeup artists use many different products and techniques to get the skin glowing. There is no specific product that we all use. Personally, I tend to mix and blend a few different things together because this allows me to create a custom blend that perfectly fits each individual client.

There are a few things you should always take into consideration before you get your glow on. For example, skin tone - darker or olive tones look great with a golden glow. Pale, lighter skin looks best with a pearl-ish glow. Do you want any coverage with the glow or just some shine? The Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs provides superior coverage and a beautiful, even glow when applied and blended correctly.

Since you're not looking for something with color, you may want to try using a highlighting product in a powder form like Eye M Glam from giella.com, applied with a big brush. This will feel the lightest on your skin and you can easily mix it with your favorite body lotion and apply with your hands.

Also keep in mind that the glow you see on the red carpets is heightened by all of the amazing lighting/cameras, etc. Try having someone photograph you in a similar lighting to the occasion so you can see how the glow looks on you before you go out. I almost always do this because what we see with the naked eye differs from how the camera captures it. You will, most likely, need to add some more glow after looking at the photo or blend some of it out if you went overboard.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

xo,
Mario

180 movie review

Story: 
The history of the film 180 is all rounded Siddharth. Mano is the name of the character Siddharth and performs the last rites of his family on the banks of the Ganges River in Varanasi. Generally is a serious man, but after he met with a young boy, who is also performing his father, AO last rites happily playing with his toy car that will change their attitude to death and the fear of death. I realize the philosophy of life and decides to not worry about death, but enjoying every day fully.
Mano comes to Chennai and leads a happy life. He moves close to all. On the other hand Vidhya (Nithya Menon), photo journalist meets Siddharth. Siddharth Nitya sponsors with the help of street children for their education. One day, he proposes to Vidya Mano denies it but because of its dark past. But Siddharth is moving to Chennai without informing Nitya and is present in the house owned by a few Murthy (Mouli) and Jayam (Gita). He gets close to them.
In the meantime, Vidya meets with an accident that forces Mano take her to the U.S. for further processing. Meanwhile memoir reveals that AOS Siddharth Vijay is the original name in the past, and he is a doctor in San Francisco, USA, and attracted to the fun-loving girl of the Rhine (Priya Anand). They get married. What is Mano AOS dark past? What made Ajay away from his wife's love of the Rhine? How is 180 connected with the history, is to watch on the big screen.
Performances: 
Siddharth made outstanding achievements. Performances by lead actors of the assets for this movie and that is perfect for the role.Priya Anand, AO performance is no. Siddharth is energetic in his best as usual and champagne too Nitya Menen gave energy efficiency. Mauli performance, Tanikella Bharani and others fit in a supporting role. MS Narayana acted in small roles. Mauli Siddarth AOS as the owner's house brings some comedy to the movie.
He once again proved that he is a versatile actor and idol for urban youth and the public class. Gave the best performance as the Mano and Ajay and excelled in romantic scenes. Priya Anand looked beautiful and made the picture perfectly. She had more screen space and is doing extremely well compared to her earlier films. Nithya Menon once again appear in the right role at Al Modalaindi. She did a good job as Jomo and admirer Siddhath.Sri Charan as Siddharth, a friend of AO is apt.

Technical details: 
Director Jayendra managed to present these three points in the lead characters. It appears AOS Jayendra ad 25 years of experience has helped him a lot of film in a movie marquee. Subha and Jayendra scenario is a new and narratives of class. Photos: Subramaniya is at the top level and international standards. I'm sure no one has won Sprinklings water as Subramaniya not. Music and music by Sherreth is fresh and keeps the mood.
Ad filmmaker turned director Jayendra leaves a mark on its rich visual effects right from the word Go. Although the story moves to expect ups and spin and hit Nag Prabhas Chakram and AOS Geethanjali. Jayendra tried to move his style of narration. The scenario should be innovative, and progress the story is predictable. Editing could be better in the second half by trimming off some of the scenes drag.

Analysis: 
180 is a rich, sophisticated and stylish movie. The first half of the film keeps involved in some interesting moments while the other half is dragging. The emotional sequences go well. Plus points of film casting (Siddharth, Priya Anand Menon and Nithya), Siddharth, analog output, photos and music. Negative effects are predictable story and dragging the second half. On the whole, 180 is partly good, partly predictable rich visual effects. 180 failed to meet expectations, if in the second half of the film is racy.
The final verdict: 180 is a good film and definitely worth seeing
