I love the Song of the Week feature Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have on their website. It’s fun knowing what the girls listen to. However, they now want to get their fans involved so they can share their favorite music by letting you choose the Song of the Week.

It’s easy. All you have to do is leave a comment here with your song pick. If your song is chosen, your name and song will be posted on the site for all to see!

There’s a few rules about what kinds of songs are eligible, so be sure to read them before making your selection!

Congratulations to Cheri, Mary, Amanda, Ashley and Tiffany! They each won a mary-kateandashley beauty gift pak, courtesy of DualStar!

Their names were drawn using a random number generator.

Stay tuned for more contests here at MkAshley! I’m hoping to have a lot more in the future!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are looking to feature you on mary-kateandashley.com! The girls want to see their contemporary sportswear line as it’s worn by real girls.

If you have an Elizabeth & James look you love, email them a photo of yourself wearing it and you could be picked to be featured on their site! They are profiling one look per week!

I’m really excited by this and think it’s going to be lots of fun seeing how people wear MK and Ashley’s clothes. The Elizabeth & James collections have so many great looks.

My friend Naomi is writing her PhD on teen and tween pop culture. She has an entire chapter dedicated to the mary-kateandashley franchise–their books, DVDs, music and more!

However, she’s a bit stuck and needs your help. Naomi is looking for girls in their late teens and early twenties who grew up reading the mary-kateandashley books and remembers watching their DVDs, Two of a Kind and So Little Time. All she needs is for you to fill out a questionairre about your memories of Mary-Kate and Ashley. It shouldn’t take too long, and she can even change your name for her thesis if you are worried about privacy.

If you’re interested in helping Naomi out, email her at hamer.naomi@googlemail.com.

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.

To check out everything MK’s carries, click here.

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.
