Temporary color is a big trend this spring/summer! Think you have what it takes to enter a contest with your favorite temporary hair look and win? Well now is your chance! I was browsing Kevin.Murphy's Facebook page today and saw they just launched a new contest—using the Color.Bug! Available in pink, purple and orange, Color.Bug adds body and temporary color to the hair. Simply add some hairspray on top of your finished look and it will stay in place until you wash it out.
The contest started April 1, 2012 and runs through April 30, 2012. Final submissions need to be turned in no later than 11:59 p.m. PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Visit LoveKevinMurphy.com, upload your Color.Bug inspired look and have a chance to win either an iPad, iPod Touch or a NANO Watch.
