Hats Off to Lancôme for The Golden Hat Foundation Holiday 2011 Collection

November 4th, 2011 by Karen 22 Comments

Lancome Golden Hat Holiday 2011

I think it’s super cool when celebs use their influence to do positive things, especially when those things help children. 🙂

Kate Winslet and Lancome Holiday 2011 CollectionThis year for the holidays, Lancôme and longtime face of the line, actress Kate Winslet, teamed up to create a limited edition 11-piece color collection for lips, nails and cheeks, with part of the proceeds going to support The Golden Hat foundation, a non-profit Kate founded to help better the lives of children living with Autism.

Kate started The Golden Hat after narrating a documentary for HBO called A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism, which follows a mother’s journey to understanding her son’s challenges with severe Autism. The foundation exists to raise awareness and funds to provide education, skills training and therapeutic activities to help autistic children communicate more effectively. Keli, the boy in the film, writes a poem he calls The Golden Hat, from where the foundation gets its name.

Available now on counters and also online, The Golden Hat Foundation Holiday 2011 collection features pieces for faces, lips and nails in gold, pink and red, all dressed to thrill in elegant black and gold packaging. On the face and lip products, Kate’s signature (nice handwriting, K!) appears below the logo for The Golden Hat.

Stay tuned for reviews and more details soon, but while you wait, here’s a peek at three of the pieces from the launch…

The Golden Hat Foundation collection from Lancôme for Holiday 2011 includes…

  • Poudre Lumiere in Golden Hat ($40)
  • L’Absolu Rouge Lipcolors in Caprice, Rosette, Misty Rose, Spice Pink and a primer called La Base ($29 each)
  • Mini Le Vernis in Shade 102, Shade 26, Shade 27, Shade 28 and Shade 003 ($15 each)

It’s baaaaack!

I didn’t know until my buddy Jen mentioned it last weekend, but one of my favorite guilty TV pleasures is back on VH1 (thanks, Jen!).

I love Pop Up Video. It’s just so silly and great for trivia. I pick up all kinds of random facts, like today I learned that the orange hospital in Dr. Dre’s I Need a Doctor video is located right down the street! It’s actually the Marin County Civic Center, where the courthouse is, maybe five miles away. I recognized it because it’s where I went for jury duty a couple of years ago.

Pop Up Video! *Boing*

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      I was listening to him on the treadmill today. Hypnotize is a surprisingly good sprint song!

        Ha! Love it. I would be afraid it would make me want to move from side-to-side instead of running forward… I hear a groove, I got to MOVE! Lol!

          I know what you mean. When I hear Biggie while I’m on the treadmill I do this weird hybrid run/dance thing, LOL! If I’m not going too fast sometimes I’ll sing along, too! Good thing I’m at home and not at the gym. 😉

          Happy Friday, btw. What are your plans for the weekend?

    This is a pretty collection and I love where it’s going. I have high-functioning Autism as opposed to severe Autism, but all autistics share a few things in common.

    Autism, like all disorders, is spelled with a capital ‘a,’ by the way. It’s only when you say, “She is autistic,” that the ‘a’ is lower case!

    I’m excited to see what you think of the poudre lumiere! It’s beautiful, for such a good cause AND I’ve been searching for a fabulous illuminating powder that’s at this price point or lower (originally, didn’t want to spend more than $30 but since some of the proceeds go to charity…)

    I’d love to know if you have other suggestions as well =)

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
