FREE Marcelle BB Cream!! + winner to Konad giveaway

Posted by Sheila on February 7, 2012

Marcelle is undoubtedly one of my favourite Canadian beauty brands. They recently came out with a BB cream that I absolutely love. I’ve been wearing it every day for the past 2 weeks and I found that it made my skin very smooth, bright (as in even skin tone) and hydrated. The coverage is just enough to look like I have amazing skin, but not heavy or cakey at all. I will do a thorough review of this fantastic product at a later date, complete with photos.

You can now get your own FREE Marcelle BB cream HERE. If you decide not to get the free one, you can also buy them in store for $22.95.

Also, sorry for being MIA. Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that I have been extremely busy with work for the past week. I haven’t had any time or energy to blog, which I am very sorry about. I hope to be back soon as I have a couple of exciting things I would like to blog about. Thank you for understanding!

Lastly, congratulations to Tiffyama for winning the Konad giveaway!! You will receive the starter Konad set. Nail Polish Canada will be contacting you soon for your details.

Sponsored Giveaway: $25 Gift Card to Apothica & SkinCareRx

Posted by Sheila on August 3, 2011

One giveaway just ended, but here is another chance for those of you who didn’t win my previous one!

I first learned about Apothica and SkinCareRx through one of my blogger friends who raved about the availability of products from that site. Apothica and SkinCareRx are a part of a family of three online retailers that sell beauty products, shipping them to most countries in the world. Some of the brands include Stila, Paul & Joe Beaute (!!!), Aveda, Chanel, Givenchy, DHC, Japonesque, NARS, Vichy and MORE.

Not only do they have tons of brands available, you can also chat live with a licensed esthetician right on the computer, or call them through their hotline. They provide free shipping over $49 to the USA ($5.95 flat rate under $49). Shipping to Canada and to the rest of the world depends on the weight and size of your order, but the one I placed before that contained 2 items (valued at approximately $70) cost around $15.

The best thing about them? You can combine your orders from all three websites into one cart and just pay shipping once. This is very convenient, especially for us who aren’t eligible for free shipping to take advantage of the shipping cost.

Now Apothica and SkinCareRx has generously provided readers of Maddy Loves a chance to win a $25 gift card to spend at any one of their three stores. You have THREE chances to enter and you must do at least one.

  1. Visit Apothica, then follow Apothica and Maddy Loves on Twitter and retweet: Follow @MaddyLovesBlog and @apothica for your chance to win $25 gift card! http://www.tinyurl.com/MaddyGCgiveaway
  2. Visit Apothica, then “like” Apothica and Maddy Loves on Facebook, and write on Apothica’s wall Sent here by Maddy Loves! I want to try ___ [fill in the blank with a product you want to try] from Apothica!
  3. Visit Apothica, then blog about Apothica or SkinCareRX, choosing a brand that they sell and write about it.

After you have done one, two or all of these things, fill out this form to be entered into the contest.

Contest is open to all readers. Deadline to enter is Friday, August 26, 2011 at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time.

Please let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment. Comments left for the purpose of entering the contest will NOT be accepted. Please use the form instead if you want to enter the contest!
