This is a contest I’m super excited about. MKAshley has teamed up with Dualstar (yup, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s own company!) to give away five (count ‘em five!) beauty gift paks in honor of their awesome new product Paper Me Pretty.

Each gift pak will include:

That’s 13 products in total!

To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment answering the following question:

What’s in your make-up bag?

Please leave a valid email address so I can contact the winners. The winners will be drawn randomly at 11:59pm EST on September 14th. For customs reasons, only those who live in the USA and Canada are eligible to enter.

Good luck!

mary-kateandashley has a brand new beauty product on the market. These make-up sheets are called Paper Me Pretty and are designed for the girl on the go. They let you quickly swab on some makeup and dispose of the sheets. I got some last week and I must say, it’s a pretty great product!

There’s blush, shimmer, bronze, and handy oil sheets to keep your skin glowing!

The packages are $3.94 each and can be found at Wal-Mart.

Also, I’m really excited to announce that MKAshley has paired up with DualStar and there will be an exciting Paper Me Pretty beauty giveaway next week, so stay tuned!

After getting a chance to peek inside Ashley’s make-up bag, now we’re given the chance to see inside Mary-Kate Olsen’s.

Mary-Kate’s bag seems to have a lot less product in it. She carries a bit of everything, ranging from $27.50 YSL mascara to $4 mary-kateandashley Bare Effect blush and carries it all in a studded Stuart Weitzman clutch.

If you’ve ever wondered what Ashley Olsen carries around in her make-up bag, well wonder no more! She opens it up and reveals all at mary-kateandashley.com.

What’s in the bag is an interesting mix of low-end (mary-kateandashley $3 eye shadow) and high-end ($55 Terry Baume de Rose Lip Balm) products. And she carries it all around in a hip vintage Gucci clutch.

Find out what’s in Ashley’s bag here. I hope Mary-Kate opens her bag up next!

Thanks to a bit of research by Perez Hilton (I know, I know), I have learned that the Environmental Working Group has determined that most mary-kateandashley brand make-up is highly hazardous to the user’s health and their perfumes are laced with carcinogens.

Perez points to this database as proof and suggests everyone checks out their favorite brands.

I’m not a fan of Perez, but this is actually a good suggestion. Consumers need to be informed about the consequences the products they are using have on their health and the environment.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have revamped their entire cosmetics line. It looks much more sophisticated and sleek and it no longer has that four-year old photo shoot on every product!
