Lipstick Naming Contest!

Like Jackson Pollack, professional namers-of-cosmetics have to contend with a great deal of “I could do that!” attitude from the outside world. If you yourself hold such attitudes, Lancome and Chris Benz are giving you the chance to show your stuff: there’s a contest to name a new lipstick shade inspired by the designer’s Spring 2010 collection. The winner gets five of said lipsticks, plus a $500 Lancome gift certificate. To enter post suggestions on Chris’ Facebook fan page. Deadline: Sunday, July 12th, at 5 p.m. EST.

Extra credit non-beauty question: How do we feel about fan pages in general? I myself resent when I am urged to join one—I feel like the very definition of “fan” means you shouldn’t need encouragement to sign up. But perhaps I’m splitting hairs? Please weigh in!
