Win a Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil - Gems of Gorgeousness

Expired

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil started a trend back when it launched back in 2002.
It’s the hero of the Trilogy skincare range and still wins accolades and new fans around the world.
Why? Well, let’s see. There’s loads of reasons.
It’s superfine, it’s easily absorbed, and it improves the look of scars, stretch marks and wrinkles, loves dry and dehydrated skin and is great for everyone – young and old, male and female.
Essential Fatty Acids (omega’s 6 and 9) and fatty acid (omega 9) along with vitamins moisten, soften, smooth, repair and restore the skin.
Men love it too!
Plus it’s brilliant for the nappy rash and cradle cap babies can suffer.
And….cuticles enjoy a regular dose.
Anna Friel
Actress Anna Friel uses it on the ends of her hair it’s dry. “I was handed rosehip oil by a makeup artist on set once and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. I love the Trilogy serums, especially the Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. I even use it on the ends of my hair if it’ dry and slather it on my face when I fly,” she says.
Susannah Constantine
Susannah Constantine, the Susannah half of Trinny & Susannah and What Not To Wear is also a fan. “Unlike Trinny, I don’t have cupboards and shelves fill with beauty products. I just have a little place by my toothbrush for one, and it is Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. I find it incredible. I used to have quite a few little red lines and a few scars…and it’s got rid of them.”

THE ELIXIR EVERY WOMAN SHOULD OWN
March 23, 2015Beauty Spot, Fragrance, Vitality, Win!2 Comment
Meet my new love Confiance ❤…
…and guess what? I’m totally confident you’ll love Confiance too, and I don’t often say that about a fragrance as the world of scent is so subjective.
Confiance is the latest wellbeing elixir to join the Valeur Absolue lineup – designed to bring self-confidence and poise to women. To make them not only irresistible, but also naturally beautiful, open-hearted, warm and generous. That’s a direct quote by the way.
See, you haven’t even smelled it yet and you can see why I think you’ll love it right?Valeur Absolue recently conducted a study that showed just how much a lack of confidence can be an obstacle for women. This lack of assurance, even if it’s temporary, makes them act out of character. (That’s also a direct quote because I think they say it so well!)
That was enough to encourage the birth of Confiance.
The warmth of vanilla is at the heart of the scent. Vanilla is not just warm and nurturing, it also has wellbeing properties. Studies have shown that breathing its scent stimulates the growth of premature babies and it can also be used to calm patients who feel claustrophobic or afraid.
So what do you get? Well, on first spritz you’ll get a whiff of clove and cinnamon. Then it’ll move onto the vanilla, which is joined by peach and amber and it ‘dries down’ to the warm and spicy notes of cedarwood and Siam benzoin. It’s not flowery, I’d describe it as warm and enticing.
Plus there’s the addition of oligo elements and extract of Immortelle which releases beta-endorphines – the happiness molecules! So spray and smile :-).
Spray and smile :-).CLICK TO TWEET
The gem stones within the bottle – which are a signature of Valeur Absolue – are orange carnelian. They’re considered an anchoring stone, in fact the Egyptians believed they had protective powers. Plus, and I love this, orange carnelian is also believed to keep negative thoughts at bay, restore concentration and love of life.
How do you like them apples?This would just have to be my favourite in the line so far…
If you’ve never read about Valeur Absolue before you can get to know the rest of the fragrances here (this will also tell you all about the founder Benedicte Foucart too, she’s divine!) here.
Simply spray and smile!
Valeur Absolue Confiance Parfum Elixir 45ml, $115, 90ml, $159 @ Farmers, pharmacies and department stores
And hey, you can smile even more as you have the chance to win one of two bottles. (I have no idea why the comp is so big, I can’t seem to make it smaller.)
Win, Win, Win

Win A Box of Listerine - Gems of Gorgeousness

Expired

One of the things I love about my job is all the learning that goes on. When it comes to questions I’m lucky enough to be able to have access to expert answers and then pass them on to you. (That’s why I’m always encouraging you to ask!)
So when Listerine launched their 21 day Jumpstart To A Healthier Mouth challenge and it landed at GoG HQ I added it to my regime. Woooooh. Definitely fresher. It gives you that really clean feeling. Listerine say brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth. Wowser. Scary.
I had some questions. A couple of years ago when I was getting a tooth implant (yes, very exy!) my specialist told me tooth decay and gum disease can lead to things like heart disease. Really? I also wanted some info on alcohol in mouthwash. I’m sure you’ve heard the stories too? The ones about it contributing to oral cancer?Jonathan Leichter
Listerine put me onto Dr. Jonathan Leichter, Associate Professor in the Department of Oral Sciences at the University of Otago (that’s him to the left) who answered these queries :-)
Q. Lack of good oral hygiene can lead to much more than tooth decay and gum disease – is it also linked to some diseases?A. A lack of good oral hygiene is the primary cause of gum disease. There is a great deal of high quality research in scientific literature that shows a strong link between gum disease, heart disease and diabetes.
It has been proposed that the chronic inflammation from gum disease may trigger a body wide response that can contribute to heart disease and diabetes.
In addition, the scientific literature has shown a link between gum disease and complications during pregnancy, including pre-mature births.
Q. We’ve all heard the stories – is alcohol in mouthwash in dangerous? Do the benefits outweigh the concerns?A. The myth that alcohol in mouthwash is dangerous and is a risk for oral cancer has been soundly refuted in the scientific literature.
A 2012 review of scholarly articles showed that there was no association between the use of alcohol containing mouthwashes and oral cancer.
While alcohol may increase the efficacy of some of the active agents in mouthwashes, alcohol-free mouthwashes are available to those who prefer this formulation. Alcohol-free mouthwashes with essential oils, such as LISTERINE® Zero™ Mouthwash, have been shown to be highly effective in helping to reduce plaque and in helping you to have healthy teeth, gums and a healthy smile.
Q. As in most things in life, has knowledge increased about the importance of oral hygiene?People everywhere are becoming more aware of the importance of oral hygiene, not only for keeping a healthy smile, but also as part of their overall health. There is now a realisation and expectation that we can keep our teeth for a lifetime.
We have come a long way from the days of our grandparents, who expected to have dentures by the time they reached middle age.
Thank you Dr Leichter!
The Basics
Listerine 21 day challenge
Listerine tell us that to maintain a healthier mouth, a 3-step routine of brushing, flossing and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash twice daily is recommended to help kill bad breath germs and reduce plaque which can lead to oral diseases.
It is believed that it takes just 21 days to form a new habit and with this in mind, the 21 Day Challenge aims to encourage you to form a healthy habit and jumpstart to a healthier mouth in just 3 weeks.
I’m so in! Are you?Want to try Listerine?Enter below to win one of three BOXES containing six bottles and get your smile on.

Win Certified Organic Chia Seed Oil - Gems of Gorgeousness

Expired

It’s the very latest natural skincare oil to hit our shores, and you could be one of the lucky ones who gets to try it.
Certified-Organic-Chia-Seed-OilCertified Organic Chia Seed Oil from Goodness Natural Beauty Lab makes use of the super powers of chia seeds so you can not only eat them (delicious) for great skin from an internal perspective, you can also take a two-pronged approach by applying them topically.
You see – and I love this quote – Goodness Natural Beauty Lab found that by squeezing the bejesus out of those little chia seeds they could produce a lightweight super-oil that is a mega-omega boost for your skin.
And because that was so good they went on to create an entire skincare range, which they dubbed Goodness!
It’s based on certified organic chia seed oil as the oil has the perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 essential fatty acids, which can be pretty tricky to find. The team at Goodness got busy working in the lab to mix just the right dose of omega 3 with omega 6 for great skin health with nutrients, hydration and anti-inflammatory effects.
A couple of drops a day will deliver just the right dose of essential fatty acids, minerals, B-vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to your skin.
Sound good?We thought you’d like that :-)
You can see the rest of the range here.
