If you're a local fashion designer with an eye on world domination, this could be your ticket to big time success. The 2013 DHL Express Fashion Export Scholarship is looking for an emerging Australian label who has been exporting its designs no longer than four years. The recipient of the scholarship will receive $10,000 worth of international freight services, as well as a coveted one-on-one appointment with the buying team from My-Wardrobe — both invaluable stepping stones to turning a local label into an internationally recognised brand. 

The winner will also join the illustrious ranks of previous winners Hary Setiadi, Bec & Bridge and We Are Handsome. The 2012 winner, Hary Setiadi (backstage at his MBFWA show is pictured above), said the scholarship has “given me an understanding of the process of international shipping, how to be strategic in my approach to sending collections overseas as well as how to build great cost efficiencies into my business through shipping solutions... I strongly urge all designers with dreams of expanding their brand internationally to enter the DHL Express Fashion Export Scholarship.” Entries close at 5pm, this Friday 31st of May. You know what they say. . .  you gotta be in it to win it!

The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons and Diane Kruger.

It truly is a crime not to prime, because there's no better way to stop makeup seeping into your pores and clogging them up than using a primer. The texture also helps smooth any lumps and bumps, giving you a clean palette to get to work on with your favourite products. Speaking of favourites, we're long-time fans of Dermalogica's Skin Perfect Primer SPF30 ($65). The silica helps to fill in those fine lines (shudder), and the added pearl powder and soy protein will assist in evening out skin tone. We're giving away 15 of the gems and to enter, all you have to do is Like us on Facebook and then tell us in the comments section below: After applying primer for all-day staying power, what's your favourite foundation to put on top?

It was the Oscars earlier this week, an event that gets us very excited about one thing — amazing skin. We're often left in awe of how flawless, plump and glowy celebrity skin can be, especially at an awards show. Now we know those lucky ducks have umpteen facials leading up to the big day, but stars including Kate Bosworth and Cate Blanchett also have another secret weapon — SK-II. The skincare's miracle ingredient is Pitera, and the best-selling Facial Treatment Essence contains over 90 percent of the stuff. We're giving away five of SK-II's new Pitera Essence Sets, each worth $99 and the perfect introduction to the brand's cult product. The set also contains the Facial Treatment Mask, another trusted celebrity favourite.

Victoria's Secret fashion show aside, the basis of our gymspiration involves shopping for stylin' new workout threads. Which is why we were excited to team up with ladies from local e-tailer STYLERUNNER. The Sydney-based twin sisters behind the activewear emporium have a keen eye — so there's not an OTT logo, daggy sweatpant or sloppy tee in sight.

If one of your New Year's resolutions (or shall we call them intentions?) is to fix your skin, then this competition has your name all over it! Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream ($50) is an anti-ageing cream, but that's not to say it wouldn't be beneficial for young skin, too. When it comes to preventing fine lines, wrinkles and general ageing of the skin, it's best to start using purpose creams in your mid-to-late twenties. And for those who are late to the anti-ageing party, this rich, creamy offering is the perfect entry product. Its (not so) secret ingredient is an amino-peptide complex, which quickly promotes lifted and firmer-looking skin.
