Beauty Byte: Cover Girl is Looking for a New Queen

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 13:53:22 -0800

Last week, Queen Latifah and Cover Girl held an open casting call to try and find a new woman to take over the throne. Instead of hiring another star or model, Cover Girl would like The Queen's replacement to be someone real.

Over 2,000 women showed up to the event held at B.B. King's in NYC's Times Square. Whoever is chosen will appear in the new ad campaign due out in June.

The contestants had 30 seconds to describe why they should be the makeup line's new face and to share how they have achieved both inner and outer beauty through overcoming an obstacle, an accomplishment, their involvement in the community, or standing up for something they were passionate about.

To read what Queen Latifah, had to say, read more

“The brand itself was made for real women. When the advertising agency wanted to include regular women in the campaign, I thought it really celebrated who we were targeting - an average, everyday woman of color with a story to tell.

36 women advanced to the second round of auditions and the new face will not be revealed for another two weeks. Which lucky lady will have her inner Queen revealed? Stay tuned for the results - having more than one winner is still being considered.

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 10 "The Last Days of Disco Stick"

Yay Gaga! Otherwise, though, this episode was sad on so many levels. No one is loved, and everyone except Chuck and Rufus has apparently lost the ability to be funny. Good thing they look so pretty, no? You were probably bored to tears by the episode (except for the end, of course), so I'm thinking you'll do well this week. Can beauty redeem a sucky plot line? Take the quiz and see.

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 1, "Reversals of Fortune"

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:00:00 -0700

In case you didn't hear, Gossip Girl is back, and boy, is it on. If you were eagerly awaiting the show's return hopefully you, like me, weren't disappointed. I'm liking Bree Buckley quite a bit thus far, and I'm really hoping Nate keeps that Ferrari. As for Carter, well . . . you can never have too much Sebastian Stan on your TV set, that's for sure. The question is, though, were you so caught up in the excitement of the season premiere that you missed out on you favorite Upper East Siders' beauty moments? Take my quiz and see whether you're as perceptive as Gossip Girl.

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 25, "The Goodbye Gossip Girl"

BellaSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:00:11 -0700

Well, high school's over and, much like Dan, I'm already feeling nostalgic about the exploits and adventures of our favorite Upper East Side seniors this year. With the mystery of Gossip Girl still up in the air and hints at even more drama to come (Georgina! Serena's dad?), I must say I nearly teared up at the reunion of Chuck and Blair (4 EVA). Of course, the season wouldn't be over without quite a bit of headband talk and beauty notes, so see how much you noticed.

Yes, Vanessa, you did just do that. And it was gross, doll. Everyone was dumb this episode, especially when it comes to relationships. And what was that whole lost weekend thing? Anyway, even I had a hard time seeing past all the mushy breaking up and heating up that was going on, but did you? Take my quiz and see just how impervious you are to melodrama.

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 22, "Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"

Hello again, drama. How I missed you last week. Thankfully, Gossip Girl seems to be laying a foundation for tons of action, though I'm not sure who was less convincing - Gabriel as an honest boyfriend or Georgina as a saved soul. Either way, I can't wait to see the aftermath of their actions on the UES in upcoming episodes. This week's witty award goes to Blair for her beauty one-liners . Do you remember other hair and makeup details from the show?

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 8, "The Grandfather: Part II"

Say it ain't so, S and B! I doubt that Serena and Blair's friendship is actually over, but it'll probably take at least another 10 episodes before they reconcile. Everyone's on the outs these days, but at least they all look fabulous (Nate is at his cutest when he's brooding, no?). There were also a couple of big "mysteries" this episode, but the most mystifying thing to me was Serena's braid, though at least she did something different with her hair. So how are you doing? Was this episode mostly about extremely silly political stunts, or did you see it for the beauty gold mine it was?
