Suave Professionals Everlasting Sunshine Body Care Giveaway Contest

Congratulations to Charlotte M and Amyovrin!

Suave Beauty has introduced new body-care products in a new fragrance, Everlasting Sunshine. The Suave Naturals Body Wash, enriched with skin conditioning vitamin E to leave your skin fresh and delightfully fragrant, will shower you with the uplifting scent of passion flower and vanilla in the new Everlasting Sunshine. The Suave Naturals Body Lotion, which delivers clinically proven hydration, is scented with the same scrumptious blend of passion flower and vanilla.

This is the first time Suave has launched one fragrance across all of its product categories. In addition to the Body Lotion and Body Wash, there's shampoo, conditioner, and antiperspirant. You can layer Everlasting Sunshine throughout your beauty routine and have a refreshing scent that will stay with you all day.

To introduce you to the new Everlasting Sunshine products, the nice folks at Suave has offered a set of Everlasting Sunshine Body Wash and Body Lotion (valued at approximately $7) to two Best Things in Beauty contest winners. Once we select the winners next weekend, Suave will mail out the prizes.

How can you enter to win this contest (technically a sweepstakes)? Just leave a comment on this feature (not in another BTiB post). After you comment here, feel free to send me an e-mail at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com (the contest address, not my "personal" e-mail) and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment). Please make sure I have your e-mail. If I can't notify you, you can't win - even if your number is drawn. I can't believe the number of entrants I haven't been able to find in the past.

You can earn extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail subscription, GFC, or though one of the many Google readers - see sidebar at right) to earn a second entry. If you are a follower, it would help me tally entries if you tell me in your comment how you follow. You don't have to follow to enter. I want everyone to have a chance, but I also want to reward my followers. I must be able to track this entry.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. You must include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) and the contest title in your tweet. Remember, tweet the contest title - if you don't, that entry won't count. I will tweet the contest this evening, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry - if that's easier.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, June 16, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner on Sunday morning. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam folder - when the contest ends.

This contest is open only to entrants in the United States. We'll have another international giveaway contest in a few days. For the rest of the legalese related to this contest, please see the Contests/Sweepstakes page at the top of the blog. Good luck!

La Prairie Cellular Energizing Body Collection for Summer 2011

First there was Cellular Treatment Body Spray ($115). Just in time for summer, we'll have a three new Cellular Energizing products in La Prairie's new Cellular Energizing Body Collection.

• Cellular Energizing Body Spray ($70 for 50 ml)
• Cellular Energizing Body Lotion (65 for 150 ml)
• Cellular Energizing Bath and Shower Gelee ($60 for 150 ml)

All three products contain La Prairie’s Cellular Complex, which combines glycoproteins, ginseng root, and horse tail extracts to nourish and energize the skin. The Cellular Energizing Body Spray contains heather extract that helps soothe and pamper the skin. Sea acids provide an excellent source of AHAs for gentle and effective exfoliation. The Cellular Energizing Body Lotion moisturizes the skin with extracts of grape seed oil, rice bran oil, and shea butter. Also, white willow bark extract enhances and brightens skin tone.

The Body Fragrance blends La Prairie's Swiss skin care with an uplifting fragrance to lavish the body and energize the soul. It's one part skin care, one part fragrance. With new products, anyone who has lived in and loved the Body Spray can treat herself (or himself) to the equivalent of surround sound. Those who haven't tried the Body Spray may be tempted to try one of the new products, such as the body lotion, with its moisturizing effects to enhance the fragrance.

The scent of these products is an aromatherapy treat. It has an element of crisp, citrus freshness and another element that I think is floral. I don't know how to describe it beyond that. It's named well because the fragrance is energizing - it gets you going in the morning. Some people have written that the fragrance is unisex. I can understand that characterization, but I think it's more feminine than masculine.

The new products will be available at your La Prairie counter in late May. Make sure to stop by for a whiff!
