L’Oréal Paris Names Dianna Hampton the Winner of the "Be the Next Beauty Guru" Contest



NEW YORK, NY (April 6, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — L’Oréal Paris is pleased to announce Dianna Hampton as the winner of the brand’s search for the next rising Internet beauty vlogger. Hampton’s winning video, titled, "From a Bare Face to Glamour and Grace," shows women how to create a dramatic, red carpet beauty look at-home. Her submission was chosen from nearly 1,000 entries for its clear step-by-step instructions, production quality and gorgeous end beauty look. Her winning prize includes having her video shown on Destination Beauty, (youtube.com/user/destinationbeauty), a trip for two to New York City and a year’s supply of L’Oréal Paris’ cosmetics, hair care, hair color and skincare products.

"I really hoped I would be the winner, but knew there was steep competition as there are so many talented gurus out there in the online beauty video community," said Hampton of her recent win. "I have been using L’Oréal Paris products since I was a teenager, so I could not be happier about the news." She further explained, "I love creating videos filled with tips and tricks that help real women look and feel their best."

Hampton, based in Connecticut, has been making beauty tutorial videos since 2010. Her interest in beauty started at a young age and carried into adulthood. A former beauty pageant competitor, she was constantly testing out a variety of beauty products and perfecting application techniques. Hampton’s pageant past made her a go-to within her social circle for makeup for local photo shoots, weddings and special events. During transitioning from a busy corporate track to full-time motherhood, a position Hampton describes as "the best job she’s ever had," she started creating tutorial videos that utilized her beauty know-how and passion.

According to Hampton, she receives inspiration for her tutorial videos from the beauty looks on the red carpet and runways, as well as from other top beauty vloggers on Destination Beauty like KandeeJohnson and XSparkage. An avid fan of colorful beauty looks such as bright eye shadows, hot pink lips and bold nails, Hampton also reads fashion blogs to stay on top of color and pattern trends.

Some of the current product favorites in her beauty kit include L’Oréal Paris’ Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer, Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black, Extra-Intense™ Liquid Pencil Eyeliner and Infallible® 8 HR Le Gloss.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more.
