Beauty Maverick

Exclusive Guerlain Giveaway!

Simply leave a comment on any BeautyMaverick post, between February 16th and March 3rd, for a chance to win the complete Guerlain Idylle body care collection (valued at over $290)— before its in-store debut this spring.

Included in the prize:

Idylle Shower Gel
Its fluid texture transforms into a lush, airy foam, leaving skin soft and delicately scented. For purity and refinement, the gel is transparent, with a subtle golden hue. 

Idylle Body Lotion
Swathes skin in the smoothness of satin and the floral chypre harmonies of Idylle. Ultra-fluid and easy to apply, it glides on and absorbs quickly, moisturizing all the way. Perfume becomes a precious beauty treatment, illuminating skin with a subtle dusting of gold micro-pearl.  

Idylle Body Cream
A rich yet fluid texture that feels at once wonderfully refreshing and supremely sensual. In its luxurious glass jar, whose opulently rounded form is emblematic of Guerlain perfumed body lines, the Body Cream leaves skin soft and deeply moisturized. Like the lotion, the cream leaves behind the subtle shimmer of gold micro-pearl – the ultimate detail, and a playful allusion to the drop of gold that is the Idylle bottle.

Idylle Eau de Parfum
A timeless message of love, celebrating the varying facets and feelings experienced in a love affair. A mist of flowers float lightly and blissfully on the skin, symbolizing the tenderness and fleeting nature of relationships. The chypre accord adds a daring and stirring undertone reflecting that special moment when it all begins, when the explosion of the sense mingle with a surge of feelings. Each stage and each step in love’s emotional journey are distinctively cherished in the special harmonizing notes of Idylle.  (50 ml.)

Best of luck! x

M Lab Body Treatment Cream (& Exclusive Gift)

I'm a big believer of investing in skin care, from head-to-toe. It's an expensive habit, I know, but one that shows its worth daily...

My latest obsession comes in the form of an ultra-rich Body Cream from M Lab, the brand whose products boast "a list of active ingredients as long as the Birkin bag’s waiting list", according to Tatler.

Its silky texture, protective properties, and ability to absorb in an instant make this potent concoction worth purchasing, but it's the 'lit from within' glow that I get from using M Lab's Body Treatment Cream which keeps me hooked. It's like no other.

Highly recommended.

Retailer: MLabOnline.com
Cost: $185.00

Givenchy Giveaway

Happy holidays!

In celebration, I'd like to offer a chance to win this wonderful assortment beauty products, courtesy of Givenchy.

Included in the prize:

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara
A revolutionary new mascara that combines a distinctive applicator with a unique, highly-pigmented formula. Givenchy's innovative spherical brush works to coat each and every lash, ensuring the fullest possible fringe, whilst their strengthening formula glides on to separate, curl and fortify lashes with every stroke.

Givenchy Rouge Interdit Shine
Providing more shine than a lipstick, and more color than gloss, this unique creation leaves lips soft and gleaming. Included are both Nude Shine (shimmering beige pink) and Rose Shine (shimmering raspberry).

Givenchy Pop Gloss Crystal in Plum by Night
A shimmering, blueberry-tinted gloss, heightened with mother-of-pearl particles in pink and white.

Givenchy Radically No Surgetics Night Cream
This plush cream covertly attacks dark spots while you sleep, eradicating them with a double-pronged attack— antioxidant boldine, to thwart the enzyme that riggers melanin production, and licorice root extract to inhibit this enzyme's active form. The result is a more evenly toned and glowing complexion.
