   We have tallied the votes from you, our Advice Sisters Readers.   Based on YOUR votes, The Devil (and You) Wear Prada" Contest Winners Are: 

 

 

1st Prize: Julie Ann R., Maryland:

"I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have won this contest. I have 5 sisters and they are all so excited for me.  I want to thank you again for the thrill of winning your contest and the chance to use some fabulous products." Julie Ann

"My boss is so unprofessional, that she will speak to you while she is "snackin'". And by speaking to you, I mean complaining about the job you are doing while micro-managing every aspect. The Devil then proceeds to launch her snack into your face trying to get her point across. She is known as "Spitting Spice." Her two wicked step-sisters, which she has recruited and brought to our office, are known as "Bi-Polar Spice" and "Scary Spice." I have never seen anything like this. Until this job, my bosses and co-workers had always become my friends. Something wicked has definitely come my way.

Julie Ann Won: A bag of full-size skin care products from the luxe,  Z. Bigatti Re-Storation skin care line including: Champagne Gel Cleanser, Silk Toner Skin Treatment and Eye Return (approx. retail value $562.00) For more information on Z.

2nd Prize: Heather C., Virginia:  

"Thanks so much Alison!!!" Heather

"One of my ex-bosses liked me to sit on his lap and feed him. Maybe he fancied himself a hungry Santa Claus! Needless to say, I didn’t stay in that job for long! I deserve a great beauty prize because I am a grown woman, not a little kid who likes to sit on a fat man’s knee!"

Heather Won: A selection of cosmetics from Christian Dior Cosmetics, including full-sizes of some of the actual Dior products used by makeup artists on the actresses in the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada!"  DiorSkin Sheer Skin Lightening Makeup SPF 15, DiorBlush Soft Powder Blush, Dior Addict Light Feel Vibrant Lipcolor, DiorKiss Lip Plumping Gloss, 5-Colour Eyeshadow compact,  DiorShow Waterproof Mascara, Crayon Eye Liner, and  Brow  Gel,   (approx. retail value $253.00)   For more information on Cosmetics by Christian Dior visit the  Advice Sisters "What Works" Beauty, Cosmetics & Fashion Review Archives and the Christian Dior Web Site

3rd Prize (#1):   Rio L., California: 

"Thanks for the BeneFit products, my wife thinks I'm a hero for winning!  And, by the way,  although I don't wear makeup, I do care about skincare, so keep providing those great reviews of products just for us guys!" Rio

 

"I had a boss who ate only raisins and black coffee all day. She literally, shook, and she said practically every sentence in threes, like "hi, hi, hi" and "where, where, where?" She used to tell us all about her periods (in depth)! She made me look old before my time, so great skincare would help erase some of the damage she caused!"

Rio Won:  A selection of cosmetics from BeneFit Cosmetics including some of the actual BeneFit products used by makeup artists on the actresses in the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada!" BeneTint, Lipstick, Show Off, Moon Beam,  and Bad Gal Eye Pencil,  (estimated retail value $100.00).  For more information on BeneFit Cosmetics products visit the  Advice Sisters "What Works" Beauty, Cosmetics & Fashion Review Archives and the BeneFit Cosmetics Web Site  

 

3rd Prize (#2): Alyson B., New Jersey:

"When I first met my boss she had a cigarette hanging out from her mouth, a raspy voice, and I could have sworn I saw horns coming out from the top of her head. She didn't look at me once during our first encounter (still hasn't, and refers to me as the one that needs a makeover! You have no clue how much this beauty prize would save me from hearing my boss's wicked comments, nd her finally referring to me as the girl with the really great make-up! To end this on a sweet note at least she remembered me for my birthday..even if it was a smoke-tasting cupcake. PS She hides her pitchfork in her Gucci Bag!"

Alyson Won: A selection of cosmetics from ultra-luxe Christian Dior Cosmetics, including full-sizes of "Devil Wears Prada-inspired" products including:  Limited Edition Dior Logo Palette for Lips, 2-color Wet & Dry Eye shadow Compact, Brow Gel, and an Extra-Shine Lip Plumper.   (estimated retail value $100.00).  For more information on Cosmetics by Christian Dior visit the  Advice Sisters "What Works" Beauty, Cosmetics & Fashion Review Archives and the Christian Dior Web Site

 4th prize, Rose Heim, Pennsylvania:

"I work in an open office where the boss sits with us. He eats all day but we don't get a lunch hour. He seems to have a lot of fights on the phone, and uses bad language you shouldn't use in public. Everyone in the office can hear every single word. He worked really hard, but he is such an anxious man that he makes me anxious, too. At night I eat anti-acid medication instead of dinner because my stomach hurts so much! Some nice makeup would definitely perk me up a great deal!"

Rose won: A limited edition, "Angels Wear Dior" Makeup Set from Christian Dior, featuring "Devil Wears Prada-inspired" cosmetics including a  full-sized 5-Colour Eyeshadow, and travel sizes of DiorShow Mascara and DiorKiss ($68.50 value)  For more information on Cosmetics by Christian Dior visit the  Advice Sisters "What Works" Beauty, Cosmetics & Fashion Review Archives and the Christian Dior Web Site
