beautyheaven’s Biggest Ever Beauty Giveaway Trial Team

It’s been an exciting year at beautyheaven, but nothing has ever been as big as our Biggest Ever Beauty Giveaway – hence the name!

Not only are there $10,000 worth of beauty products up for grabs (P.S. the competition is still open!) but some lucky members had the chance to trial a box full of new and much-loved beauty goodies. 

Here’s what they thought…

DU’IT Tough Shield Sanitising Hand Cream

We say: It’s the 2-in-1 product we never knew we needed but makes complete sense. Both a hand sanitiser and a moisturising hand cream, this double-whammy formulation from DU’IT will kill 99.9 per cent of harmful germs and nourish dry, irritated skin in the process.

You say: “DU’IT Tough Shield Sanitising Hand Cream is a great hand cream. Perfect for those with super dry hands. It comes in a plastic tube and has 75g of product. A good little size to keep at your desk, or handbag so you can reapply as needed throughout the day.” – Jessica712

Star rating: 4*

Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum

We say: Whether you’re new to the world of retinol or just prefer a serum that is on the gentler side, this is the product for you. The unique combination of peptides, ceramides and a trio of pure retinol works to firm, refine and plump without the discomfort or irritation that often comes with stronger, more potent vitamin A-based serums. 

You say: “My skin overall appeared to be more smooth and have a more even skin tone and clarity. Out of many many many retinol products or similar that I have tried over the past 15 years I can confidently say that this would be my favourite from first impressions, comfort and the way it has improved my skin in only two weeks of use.” – Saffy86

Plunkett’s SuperLift Face Lift Serum

We say: If the name of the serum wasn’t explanatory enough, allow us to elaborate on the anti-ageing benefits of the Plunkett’s SuperLift Face Lift Serum. Acting as a cosmetic procedure in a bottle, this potent nighttime serum contains 1 per cent pure retinol, peptides and hydrating hyaluronic acid to plump and fill out fine lines.

You say: “I noticed that my skin has become more radiant, softer, smoother, defined and generally happy and healthy. My skin didn’t suffer any irritation in this time frame and hopefully with time this will stay the same, as I really adore this product and look forward to using it more to see more awesome results.” – NikkiM

TONI&GUY Leave-in Conditioner

We say: If your hair needs a little assistance in the frizz-department or perhaps could use a hit of hydration, we recommend treating yourself to TONI&GUY’s Leave-In Conditioner. Both affordable and efficient, spread this formula throughout damp hair before styling and see your hair behave like you want it to.

You say: “I love how it leaves my hair soft and shiny, it will be interesting to see if it stops the frizz in the summer. It also smells lovely!” – Phillipa945

Bio-Oil Skincare Oil Natural

We say: Whether treating scars, fading stretch marks or quenching the thirst of dry, scaly skin, we’ve all called upon Bio-Oil at some point. However, one thing you likely didn’t know about this household favourite? It’s also available in an easily-absorbed, lightweight and 100 per cent natural variation.

You say: ” I was super keen to try this skin oil on my stretch marks which developed during my pregnancy. This skin oil is so easy to use and apply. It is a lightweight formula that is quickly and easily absorbed. It has a pleasant mild natural scent. My skin just loves this oil. It delivers instant hydration and nourishment.” – Chickybabe1

Ardell Light As Air

We say: Delivering all the volume with half the weight, the Light As Air lashes will ensure you stay looking wide-eyed and bright from the moment they’re applied. The difference between this variation and your regular strip lashes? Ardell’s breakthrough in fibre technology has made it possible to create a product that is 50 per cent lighter than anything else within the range. Trust us, this isn’t one to miss.

You say: “These are exactly as promised to be and great high quality. They really are light and beautifully made. Looking quite natural too as they are cut like normal lashes actually look but of course, much longer. They are extra long and they are made that way I expect for making sure that they fit any size eye.” – Clearcrystalwater

Manicare Exfoliating Back Scrubber  

We say: How often are you exfoliating your back? If the answer is never, you’re definitely not alone. However, just like the rest of the skin on our body, our backs do start to collect a build-up of dead skin and dirt, which is why they require the TLC that we give our face, chest, legs and arms. Keep those hard-to-reach areas clean and glowing thanks to the Manicare Exfoliating Back Scrubber. Formulated using environmentally conscious materials like organic cotton, this is a product that’s kept all skin types in mind, including those on the sensitive side.

You say: “The Manicare Exfoliating Back Scrubber is a heaven send for me. Quick and easy to use, I’m able to exfoliate all those hard to reach places on my back. The handles make it easy to hold and you can control how soft or hard the pressure is when using it to scrub your back. The material is stretchy and gentle on the skin while still exfoliating.” – Jessica 712

Manicare Contour Roller Set 

We say: Though it might look intimidating at first glance, we assure you it’s not. The Manicare Contour Roller Set is the perfect addition for those looking to elevate their at-home skin care routine. Powered by sonic vibrations, this fast-working beauty device will help to reduce puffiness, while visibly sculpting, toning and tightening your face and neck. Consider it a workout for your under eyes, cheeks and jawline. 

You say: “It is very gentle on my skin. It helps reduce puffiness, and tones and tightens the face and neck. The best way to use it is to apply facial oil generously on the face and neck, to allow the device to glide without dragging the skin. Upward and outward movements work best to lift, tone, and tighten the skin.” – Omyara
