win this: lush dream cream

Yes, it's contest time again! This week we're giving away 8 Lush Dream Creams, one of my new favorite hand and body balms. Here's a bit more about this heavenly cream:

We take every natural ingredient aimed at transforming dry, bumpy and unhappy skin and combine them all into an epidermal elixir of excellence. This moisturizer helps you banish alligator elbows and impress that special someone with your baby-soft skin. Use a small dollop every night before bed and find your skin silky and comforted within days. This may look humble among LUSH's other products but it's truly the most gratifying.

win this: bumble & bumble creme de coco masque

It's a dark and gloomy day here in Toronto and I'm in the mood for a contest. This week, I'm giving away 10 Creme de Coco Masques courtesy of uber-cool NYC haircare brand Bumble & Bumble.

A bit about this amazing new addition to the Bb. line:

Creme de Coco Shampoo and Conditioner have been a best-selling hair care pair since Bumble and bumble launched them in 2005, thanks to their strand-pampering qualities and sumptuous scent. Now a new treat joins this dynamic duo: Creme de Coco Masque. Words can’t describe how soft, silky and glossy this weekly treatment leaves hair; it simply must be felt to be believed.
Coconut oil has long been known as a beauty powerhouse, and Creme de Coco Masque takes this natural wonder one step further with a new, breakthrough Japanese technology – a coconut and vegetable derived base that Bumble and bumble is the first to use. We added a trio of potent tropical butters: mango, shea and murumuru; tropical oils (coconut and avocado) and botanical extracts (olive leaf, nettle, horsetail and mallow), to create a luxurious moisturizer for all hair types (that rinses out crystal-clear).
Bb.Stylists recommend applying a generous amount of Creme de Coco Masque through clean, wet hair. For added treatment benefits, use with heat – wrap in a warm towel or sit in the sunshine. Rinse after seven minutes or more and be amazed by the slip-through-your-fingers silkiness. Creme de Coco Masque is great for all hair types, including the color-treated, but ideal for even the dullest or driest of manes.

Suggested retail price: $24 US for 5 oz.

To enter the contest, simply tell me which other Bumble & Bumble products I've mentioned/reviewed on SugarShock (hint: use the handy "Search" option on the right-hand of your screen). Then send me an email with your answer, full name and mailing address to sugarshockbeauty@yahoo.com and include "Bumble & Bumble" in the subject line.
Update: Since my "search" function is on the fritz right now, you can also enter the contest by emailing me at sugarshockbeauty@yahoo.com and telling me what is your must-have haircare product.

You have until 12am EST on Tuesday, June 24 to enter. Winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants and I'll announce the winners on Wednesday, June 25.
Good luck!

win this: liz earle cleanse & polish hot cloth cleanser

Yesterday, I told you that a surprise was in store for my lovely readers, and today all will be revealed. To celebrate SugarShock turning one, I'm feeling generous, so thanks to Liz Earle, we're giving away 50 Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleansers.

Adored by supermodels and mere mortals alike, this pure, creamy hot cloth cleanser for all skin types contains soothing almond milk and skin-brightening eucalyptus, for the softest, cleanest, most radiant skin. The innovative Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser contains no mineral oils or lanolin unlike many other cleansers, and has a gentle yet extremely effective two-phase action: firstly, cleansing and then ‘polishing’ the skin, using one of the two pure muslin cloths provided. Rich in naturally active plant extracts, the cream-based Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser has a concentrated cleansing power to swiftly remove everyday grime and make-up (even stubborn waterproof mascara), leaving skin fresh, vital and glowing. Naturally active ingredients include rosemary with antioxidant and invigorating properties, chamomile to soothe, and enriching hops and cocoa butter to soften skin. The aromatic herbs and essential oils are superlative in calming and refreshing the skin, but also in uplifting the spirits, making something as simple as cleansing your skin, a very relaxing, pampering experience. Simply massage the cream over a dry face and neck, before removing with the hot, damp, pure muslin cloth to ‘polish’ the skin, gently dislodging dead skin cells. Finish with a final rinse of cold water to help tighten pores. Use morning and evening.

To enter the contest, simply tell me which other Liz Earle products (aside from the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser) I've mentioned/reviewed on SugarShock (hint: use the handy "Search" option on the right-hand of your screen. There are three possible answers). Then send me an email with your answer and full name to sugarshockbeauty@yahoo.com and include "Liz Earle Giveaway" in the subject line.

You have until 12am EST on Thursday, March 13th to enter. Winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants and I'll announce the winners on Friday March 14.
Best of luck!
