Project Runway Twitter party Week 11 Sponsored by Josie Maran Cosmetics

Dear Clever Friends,

RSVP HERE FOR THE PARTY!

Please join the Clever Girls Collective  for our weekly Project Runway Twitter party, 60 minutes of Project Runway talk, prizes, and fun!

When: Thursday, March 25, at 10PM EST *AND* PST (2 parties, two chances to win!)

Where: Twitter follow the #cgc (Clever Girls Collective) hashtag

Tonight's sponsor is JOSIE MARAN COSMETICS!

The philosophy of Josie Maran Cosmetics comes from Josie herself. It's a balance of her low maintenance, go-with-the-flow attitude and her refined, worldly taste. "I know exactly what I like. My tastes are very specific," Josie says. "I crave quality, whether it's the best fabric, the best food, or the best makeup. I try to surround myself with the best of everything." Josie's passion for everything she does is evident in the line. Every element, from the packaging to the makeup shades, is a reflection of her unique sensibility.

The Josie Maran Cosmetics look is healthy, natural and vibrant. It's about enhancing, not covering. It's about youthful, glowing skin. "What most women don't realize is that when models and actresses look fresh-faced and makeup-free, it's because they know how to apply their makeup to make it look that way," Josie explains. "I want to open the vault on all the tips and tricks I've learned in the makeup chair. I've seen how makeup can make a person feel great. I want to share that with women everywhere." Josie Maran Cosmetics... luxury with a conscience.

Clever Girls Collective are proud supporters and evangelists of mom-owned businesses and for our Twitter parties we are delighted to partner with the mompreneurs of Mom Made That!

Cheers,

Sheila, Cat, and Stefania

ABOUT CLEVER GIRLS COLLECTIVE

Clever Girls Collective believes that the right guide makes social media for business as simple as having a conversation. It works like this:

• Someone finds a great product, website or social cause
• She tells all of her friends about it
• They try it, love it and tell all their friends
• Who all go try it, too

Finding the right people to start that chain reaction — that’s our specialty. We know how to find the influencers who:

• Like to try new things
• Have loads of friends
• Are social media power users
• Excel at communicating in person and online

Through them we help you reach a staggering number of customers, in a way that continues to expand over time, with solutions that are targeted, customizable and measurable.

We are Clever Girls Collective, a social media agency founded by three women who decided to use their deep marketing experience, and broad social network relationships, for good.

We understand product launches, viral campaigns, promotional giveaways and how to build a following, all on tight deadlines and shoestring — or huge — budgets.

ABOUT CLEVER GIRLS COLLECTIVE

Clever Girls Collective believes that the right guide makes social media for business as simple as having a conversation. It works like this:

• Someone finds a great product, website or social cause
• She tells all of her friends about it
• They try it, love it and tell all their friends
• Who all go try it, too

Finding the right people to start that chain reaction — that’s our specialty. We know how to find the influencers who:

• Like to try new things
• Have loads of friends
• Are social media power users
• Excel at communicating in person and online

Through them we help you reach a staggering number of customers, in a way that continues to expand over time, with solutions that are targeted, customizable and measurable.

We are Clever Girls Collective, a social media agency founded by three women who decided to use their deep marketing experience, and broad social network relationships, for good.

We understand product launches, viral campaigns, promotional giveaways and how to build a following, all on tight deadlines and shoestring — or huge — budgets.

As new media consultants and professional bloggers, we three co-founders —Stefania Pomponi Butler, Sheila Bernus Dowd and Cat Lincoln — all know first hand what makes someone want to write a review post, R/T your coupon code, and become your Facebook Fan.
