Meredith attended a book launch this week for makeup guru Bobbi Brown's new book, "Pretty Powerful". In the video, she shares some of her favorite new products from the fall line and talks about how the book empowers women.

As a special bonus for Chicago Parent readers, we're giving away a copy of the book, valued at $30. Watch the video to learn how to win! Contest closes on Tuesday, Oct. 9. We'll announce the winner in Meredith's Trending vlog next week!

Update: Congratulations to Diana DiVito!
