Jurlique Launches Give & Gift

Jurlique launches Give & Gift

In honour of Earth Month this April, Jurlique is launching a ‘recycle and reward’ scheme with a trade-back offer in stores nationwide.

Customers are invited to return Jurlique packaging such as bottles or tubes in exchange for a 10% discount off replacement purchases. Give & Gift will be a permanent addition to the service in every Jurlique store and aims to raise awareness for responsible recycling.

Every day Jurlique celebrates the beauty of nature at the biodynamic* farm in the Adelaide Hills where each product formula begins with a purely potent living energy blend extracted from biodynamic* herbs and botanicals. The unpolluted and pure environment of the farm provides an ideally suited setting that is evident in every bottle and further enhances Jurlique’s passion for sustainable practices that reach beyond the farm.

Jurlique continues to identify the best possible options for the packaging of products using sustainable materials and processes in the manufacturing process. For example, all cartons contain post consumer recycled fibre and non-toxic renewable vegetable based ink is used in the print process.

At Jurlique, beauty is defined by sustainable connections – to oneself, to the community and to the earth. Responsible recycling is one of the simplest things everyone can do to reduce their impact on the environment. So go and give back to the earth and receive Jurlique’s gift to you.

Jurlique Give & Gift

Return primary packaging (bottle and tubes) and receive a 10% discount off replacement purchase.

Available from 22nd March 2010 in Jurlique stores nationwide.

Max Factor’s Foundation Matchmaker for Beautiful Flawless Skin

Discover Max Factor’s Foundation Matchmaker for Beautiful Flawless Skin… in 30 Seconds!

Max Factor knows that selecting the right type of foundation – in terms of coverage, texture and finish – is just as important as picking the right shade. Not to mention it will save you a great deal of money – consider how much money you may have potentially wasted by purchasing the wrong foundation type for your skin.

With the help of Max Factor’s panel of internationally renowned makeup artists, Max Factor has created the Foundation Matchmaker – the in-store consultation that helps you select the right type of foundation quickly and easily to suit your skin. With Max Factor’s Foundation Matchmaker, selecting the right type of Max Factor foundation is now significantly easier than before and almost like a mini consultation with a makeup artist… it takes just 30 seconds!

“When I am about to makeup a client’s skin, I am not thinking shade first. Foundation type, level of coverage, texture and desired finish are the 3 questions I ask myself. What women don’t realise is that picking the right type of foundation to suit their skin is just as important as shade to achieve a naturally beautiful, flawless complexion,” says national Max Factor makeup artist, Katherine Conyers.

In addition, follow these simple tips to ensure you select the right type of foundation to suit your skin – it’s never been quicker, easier or more cost effective!

Coverage
If you’re not keen on wearing a lot of make up, then choose a sheer or natural foundation. Medium-to-full coverage foundations are ideal to even out skin tone and concealing blemishes. Remember to apply dots of foundation to your cheeks, forehead, chin and the tip of your nose and blend towards your ears – this will ensure a natural look.

Texture
Remember to always test before you buy! Whether ultra creamy with a moisture-rich formula, a sheer formulation or a more powdery texture – it’s about what you’re most comfortable applying on your skin. Perhaps a lighter texture which is cool to touch might be more suitable than a thicker formulation, which can age the appearance your skin? There’s plenty of choice to suit and please each and every need.

Finish
The key is to be aware of how your makeup evolves throughout the day. You can then choose whether you need a matte or semi-matte finish, or perhaps a subtle glow or dewy end result is what you’re after.

NAPOLEON PERDIS SUPPORTS OVARIAN CANCER AUSTRALIA

NAPOLEON PERDIS PASSIONATELY SUPPORTS OVARIAN CANCER AUSTRALIA

Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics is teaming again with Ovarian Cancer Australia in an effort to
raise funds and awareness of this deadly disease. In 2008, the beauty stalwart donated the
net proceeds from the sale of DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Hera to the charity.
As of February 1, 2010, Napoleon Perdis is now contributing the net proceeds of every Auto Pilot Lip Service sold at a Napoleon Perdis concept store. So each time a customer purchases the lip balm in Original, Hush or Cherry, they’re contributing to an extremely worthy cause.

Every year in Australia around 1500 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and more
than 850 will die of the disease. Ovarian Cancer has always been considered a silent killer:
About 75% of women diagnosed will be at an advanced stage, where the cancer has spread
and is very difficult to treat successfully. When ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the outlook is exceedingly good, with as many as 90% of patients being cured. Unfortunately, only about 25% of diagnosis is at an early stage.

The Auto Pilot collection at Napoleon Perdis is emblazoned with the image of Amelia Earhart, the pioneering aviatrix who conquered the skies and inspired generations of women. Ovarian Cancer Australia takes Earhart’s empowering message a step further, by supporting ovarian cancer patients through their journey and raising the profile, education and community awareness of ovarian cancer.

On February 12, 2010, Napoleon Perdis stores nationally will host a special in-store event
“Make Me Over Day” to raise awareness and funds for Ovarian Cancer Australia. For one day only, customers can book in for a full makeover and pay only half the price ($40) with $20 donated towards the charity.

AUTO PILOT LIP SERVICE – RRP: $28
Auto Pilot Lip Service to benefit Ovarian Cancer Australia is available in Napoleon Perdis Concept Stores only.

The Body Shop Launches ‘Miracle Treatment’

The Body Shop launches ‘Miracle Treatment’ with the World Society for the Protection of Animals to help orangutans.

The Body Shop has launched a new ‘Miracle Treatment’ to support the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) in its work to save the orangutans of Borneo. Available in stores from Monday 12 October, the ‘Miracle Treatment’ offers customers the chance to achieve amazing results – by taking action for orangutans.

Borneo’s orangutans are facing injury, disease and death as their habitat is destroyed by logging for the growing palm oil industry. WSPA works with the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation to fund the work of the world’s largest orangutan sanctuary, Nyaru Menteng, currently home to more than 650 rescued orangutans.

Michel Zwecker, Development Manager at WSPA, says: “The majority of orangutans at the sanctuary are orphaned babies like Inka. She was just a baby when her mother was viciously killed in front of her. Traumatised and terrified she was carted off for sale on the black market. But she was one of the lucky ones. Rescued by the sanctuary, she is now nurtured and cared for.”

Orphaned babies like Inka require up to six years of rehabilitation, learning the skills they should have learnt from their mothers, before their re-release into the wild can be considered.

Mark Kindness, Chief Executive of The Body Shop, says: “Orangutans are facing enormous animal welfare issues as a direct result of human activity. With a little support from enough caring people, we can work together with WSPA towards a miracle for orangutans! We’re asking all The Body Shop customers to get involved and become a part of the ‘Miracle Treatment’ to help more orangutans like Inka,” Mr Kindness comments.

There are a number of ways The Body Shop customers can achieve amazing results with their ‘Miracle Treatment’, including:
• Giving a miracle – Donating to the Borneo Orangutan Sanctuary
• Creating a miracle – Holding an event to raise funds
• Buying a miracle – Wearing cute orangutan merchandise
• Spreading the miracle – Involving friends
For further information visit your The Body Shop store or log on to www.wspa.org.au/miracles.

The ‘Miracle Treatment’ campaign will run from 12 October 2009 until 1 November 2009.

M.A.C. - BECOME A COLLECTOR: WIN AN ORIGINAL MARILYN MINTER

This spring M.A.C Cosmetics is launching the new colourful collection MAKEUP ART which features three different lines all inspired by the beautiful bold colours of spring. What makes this new collection most exciting are the pieces of art that have been created by three prominent international artists in collaboration with M.A.C. Inspired from the array of colours and textures of the new collection, the artists developed three very unique works of art that reflect the playful and dramatic palettes of spring.

As part of the launch in Australia, M.A.C Cosmetics is giving away one of these original pieces of art created exclusively for M.A.C by renown photographer Marilyn Minter.
The runner –up will win the complete Marilyn Minter Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection, including four sensational shades of pigments, four glamorous glitters, and a signature, special edition gloss.

Marilyn Minter
Marilyn Minter brings a certain dishevelled glamour to art that is almost too sexy for words. Her extreme close-up photographs of lips, eyelashes, fingernails, freckles, tongues and high heels blur the line between gorgeous and grotesque. Often they become the subjects of her monumental, enamel on aluminium paintings where even a model’s beads of perspiration are indistinguishable from her jewels. That gift for sparkle is one reason Minter was a natural for the high-key glitter pigments in Make-Up Art Cosmetics’ fall collection. She is an artist who shifts easily between art and fashion, billboards and gallery walls, or from the prestigious Whitney Biennial to photo shoots with such outsize personalities as Pamela Anderson. “I never know what I’m going to shoot before I look through the lens,” Minter says. “I’m looking for the accident to happen.”

BECOME A COLLECTOR: WIN AN ORIGINAL MARILYN MINTER.

This is your chance to win an original work of art created exclusively for M.A.C by renowned photographer Marilyn Minter.

·       Grand Prize: An original work of art created exclusively for M.A.C by renowned Whitney Biennial Photographer, Marilyn Minter.

·       Runner Up: The complete Marilyn Minter Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection, a collaboration between M∙A∙C and the Artist, including four sensational shades of Pigments, four  glamorous Glitters, and a signature, special edition Gloss.

Healthy Parenting & Natural Living Seminar

Healthy Parenting & Natural Living Seminar

Do your children have eczema, behavioral changes, ADD or ADHD?
Do you have headaches, feel lethargic, suffer from PMS or infertility?

From the moment our children are born, they are exposed to a wide variety of hazardous toxins: one-third of all personal care products, including baby washes and shampoos, contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens; more than half of the 100,000 synthetic chemicals on the market have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body.
For most of us, the consequences of exposing our bodies to harmful chemicals can take many years to have a visible effect. “Our children will ask . . .what were our parents thinking?” says Author and Public Health University Lecturer Dr Sarah Lantz.
“Why did they produce toxic chemicals and then put them in and on our bodies?
Were they so arrogant to think that our bodies would not be affected?”
Knowledge is power, according to Narelle Chenery, Founder of certified organic product range miessence. “If we know what to look for, we can easily limit our children’s exposure to toxic chemicals, additives and preservatives and raise a happy, healthy new generation.”

Aveda Affinity Black Tote-Bag

Aveda Affinity black tote-bag

Aveda provides a better solution to the paper versus plastic bag dilemma – choose neither, choose to re-use! Aveda’s new Affinity Tote-bag is larger and more durable than its predecessor and made from a lightweight material consisting of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled PET to help reduce the number of disposable bags entering waste.

Five hundred billion to one trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year and billions end up as litter. According to the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, more than a million birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die every year from eating or getting entangled in plastic. There are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter floating in every square mile of ocean, according to the United Nations Environment Program.

In the Northern Pacific Gyre, a great vortex of ocean currents, there’s now a swirling mass of plastic trash about 1,000 miles off the coast of California, which spans an area that’s twice the size of Texas, including fragments of plastic bags.

In order to further support Aveda’s bag-less strategy, the new Aveda Affinity black tote-bag has been created to encourage people to use a re-usable bag rather than plastic or paper shopping bags for purchases – which will collectively reduce the number of paper and plastic bags entering the waste stream.

Aveda is available in salons, spas and stores. Please visit call 1300 300 054 for locations or for more information visit www.aveda.com.

RECCOMMENDED RETAIL $9.95
