In addition to resolutions and getting reacquainted with the gym, the new year heralds the start of Awards Season, when the Red Carpet rules. For the ladies nominated for Best Actress in the categories of Drama and Comedy, L'Oreal commissioned Carelle - known for their colored gemstone bling - to create a compact featuring lemon citrines and pale green quartz set in 18k gold with diamond details. A total of 9 were gifted to the likes of Angelina and Meryl, while the 10th will be auctioned off on eBay during the Golden Globes show on January 11, 2009 to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
