Filed under: Celebrity Shopping

Details on yet another Oscar swag bag have been released. This one was put together by stylist Lash Fary as the consolation prize for the non-winning nominees. The $27,000 Mirage Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas Gift Package includes a stay at the Mirage and a variety of items that range from a pair of $1,000 Black Diamond Havianas flip flops and a $5,800 certificate for free LASIK eye surgery to items available in your local drug store like those new Shower Soother pellets from Sucadare and a Tide Stain Remover Pen. And for those who need to stay up late to party there is Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Energy Drink. The Star Style Salon has the complete list. It's a good move for the Mirage which could use a bit of celebrity buzz as of late.

[Thanks, Alberto]

Another stop on the endless pre-Oscar swagfest is the Diamond Lounge 2006 which will be held at the Peterson Automotive museum on March 3 and 4. The lounge features jewelry from Giorgio Visconti and Boucheron Paris, Energetix rhinestone-studded magnet therapy bracelets, Fileena handmade jewelry (shown here), Pink Moon New York handbags and Ting Bling gadget bedazzling service.There will be a spa area that features 24K gold nail polish from Varnish, DermaNew, an at home micro-dermabrasion kit, a lip gloss bar from Lucy B Cosmetics, airbrush tanning from SunFx, and Xtreme Lashes semi-permanent eyelash extensions. The clothing available will include Von Dutch (is this stuff still popular?) and a new clothing line created by singer Macy Gray. Gray will show up to dress the celebs. Not quite as luxe as the Lauder swagfest but free stuff is still free stuff.

Nathalie Dubois and DPA, the hosts of the events, have chosen to spread out the swag love choosing two non-celebs, Pedro Garcia, a soldier wounded by an enemy grenade in November 2005 and Kelly Bolor, a widow whose husband was killed in a downed Black Hawk Helicopter in 2003 to enjoy the gift suites as well.

And the Oscar swagfest begins... Estee Lauder has announced their 2006 Estee Lauder Luxury Beauty Spa Experience for nominees to indulge, relax and prepare for their big night with a spa experience. The Estee Lauder "Dream Team" will travel to each nominee and let them choose a customized spa day. Those in need of a little boost can check out the Perfectionist Power Facial by Dr. Jay Calvert which includes a light laser procedure and then a Power Patch placed on the area around the eye for 20 minutes. And for sunless tan addicts (like Charlize Theron) there is new Winning Glow Tanning Treatment which provides a full face and body exfoliation and bronzing with Estee Lauder's sunless tanners. A Bentley Continental Flying Spur will transport nominees to and from their Spa appointments and chauffeur the Estee Lauder Dream Team to the nominees on location. And of course there is a swag bag which includes Estee Lauder products, Manolo Blahnik sandals, Michael Kors sunglasses, a tiger's eye necklace, a set of Harcourt black crystal wine goblets and La Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot champagne (very similar to last year's offering).
