It’s official: Kate Hudson has reached ultimate Hollywood Golden Girl status. Just this morning, Revlon Inc. named the beautiful actress Almay’s new Global Brand Ambassador.

Kate will start appearing in ads worldwide with her first campaign for the brand scheduled to debut later this year.

“Almay is known for its fresh, effortless approach to beauty,” Kate says in the official release. “At the end of the day we all want to have fun and feel beautiful– that’s what Almay is all about.”

If you follow me on Twitter (beautyfitness) you know I mentioned CVS is having a huge beauty sale. Tons of stuff is 50% and 75% off. I picked up everything above for around $23.00!

Two Loreal Voluminous Mascara’s which ended up being around $1.80 or so each. Great drugstore mascara!

Loreal Volume Shocking Mascara never tried this one, but couldn’t pass it up for $3.50.

I picked up the Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer for $2.62. Anyone tried this? Is it any good?

Milani Sunset Bronzer / Blush Duo in Sunset City for $1.72.

The three Loreal Colour Riche Lipsticks were $2.25 each. I got Pink Tranquilo, Cashmere and Taffeta. Love these lippies.

I also picked up a Almay Pure Blends Gloss in Petal and two Rimmel glosses in Rhythm and Candy Floss. They were all around $1.50 – $2.00 each.

There was seriously so much stuff on sale it was crazy. I think I may go back tomorrow and pick up a few more things. If you haven’t checked it out yet head on over to your CVS before the deals over.
