“Oscar Glow” 2013: Hollywood Swag Bags filled with Skincare suprises

Oscars 2013  skincare swag bags

HOLLYWOOD(Perfect Skin Today)1/30/13/–Even if the celebrities walking the red carpet don’t take home any Oscar hardware tonight, most won’t be leaving empty-handed.

Between the plentiful freebies given out in sponsored luxury gift suites and the loot in official ‘swag bags,’ A-listers have been known to score up to $100,000 in free gifts at awards shows like the Oscars (think lavish vacations, high-end beauty products, electronics and jewelry). Not bad, eh?

But what many people don’t know is that in the eyes of the IRS, these freebies aren’t so free at all: the trips, the jewelry and the $500 face cream is all considered taxable income. Seriously.
