Blackmores Alive! Giveaway
Change of season. Summer’s over, no need to eat well since bikini time is gone, right? You start to feel run down. Sniffles, sneezing, falling asleep at your desk. What do you need?
A long nap? Probably.
A holiday? Don’t we all.
A metaphorical kick up the bum? I have one for you!

Giveaway – Jewellery from Atmos&Here
I haven’t done a giveaway on my blog in soooooooo long so I thought I’d reward my loyal readers!
Atmos&Here is just one of the brands in The Iconic’s stable and I have some of their fab jewellery to give away.
The Iconic is Australia’s biggest online store with super quick postage, competitive prices and about 500 million products on offer. They pride themselves on being able to have your item in your hands within a few hours and for their excellent online presence.
I’ve been trawling through Atmos&Here’s profile on The Iconic and they have lots of cool printed pants (my favourite – ha!) and relaxed tees as well as cute and very affordable bags, belts and jewellery, as you will see below.
This necklace is glam but not too OTT so it’s perfect for dressing up leather leggings, a loose knit and some chunky Alexander Wang flats. The earrings are moody and remind me of the ‘glam goth’ trend but they’re also a little boho.
All you have to do to win these two pieces is comment with your favourite brand that is sold on The Iconic – the hardest part is choosing just one!
Please make sure you include your email address in the correct field so I can contact you if you win.
- Entries close at midday (AEST) on 28 February 2013 and the winner will be notified shortly thereafter
- Total prize is worth approximately AU$50.00
- Sorry, entry is open to Australian residents only
- Extra entry if you tweet:
“I could win new jewellery thanks to @MarloPerry http://marloperry.com/2013/02/16/giveaway-jewellery-from-atmoshere“
I look forward to reading your answers and picking a winner!
Giveaway – Virgin Mobile’s Covers For A Cause
It seems like absolutely everyone has a smartphone these days. Whether it’s an iPhone, Galaxy or Arc you can’t sit at a bus stop or walk down the street without seeing someone glued to theirs. So when I heard that Virgin Mobile were playing on the influence smart phones have on our lives to raise awareness of and support the reduction of youth homelessness I knew I had to let you all know about it.
“Right now there are 32,000 between 12 and 25 years of age who do not have a place to call home“, says Virgin Mobile’s marketing director, David Scribner. These stats are shocking; I’m in that age bracket and I’m sure a lot of my readers are. I can’t imagine not having a place to come home to at this age let alone at the tiny age of 12 – it’s unfathomable.
Thankfully, with the help of Sir Richard Branson, Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia and one of my have Aussie labels, Ksubi you can spruce up your smart phone with specially designed cover with the proceeds supporting Oasis, The Salvation Army’s response to youth homelessness.
Oasis offers support, refuge and care for those affected by youth homelessness helping them to turn their lives around. One of the recipients of this support, Dean Good has also joined Sir Richard Branson, Natalie and Ksubi in designing a cover for this collection.
A huge 100% of the proceeds of the sale of these covers goes towards Oasis which are $35 each and can be purchased from Virgin Mobile stores nationally or the Virgin Mobile Facebook page.
I have one of each design to give away (in your choice of iPhone 4/4S, Samsung Galaxy 2 or Sony Ericsson Arc). To enter, simply comment below with your favourite design.
Entries close on Tuesday, June 12 at midday
Good luck and be sure to look at http://www.virginmobile.com.au/covers-for-a-cause/ for more information on this cause!

Hair and Skin Giveaway From Avène and Klorane
I love love love hosting giveaways on my blog, especially when they’re products I’ve had so much luck with personally.
You would have read about how much I love Avene in particular, being the only products I would allow near my skin when I broke out with terrible acne in 2010/2011. Their sensitive skin care ranges are perfect for providing the care your skin needs without any harsh over-exfoliating, shedding too many natural oils or over-moisturising – they’re just perfect!
Klorane, as we all know, are the OGs when it comes to dry shampoo. But what a lot of people don’t know is that they have great hair care products, too. I’m a huge fan of the camomile shampoo and conditioner, especially when I am just about due for a touch up on my colour; it really puts some sparkle back in your blonde locks.
To celebrate the launch of Klorane and Avène’s new Facebook pages, I have eight separate packs to give away. Four hair care packs and four skin care packs each suited to a particular ‘type’ of skin and hair. Here are all the prizes:
- Oily skin- Cleanance Soapless Cleanser, Cleanance Anti-Shine Regulating Lotion, Cleanance K, Thermal Spring Water.
- Normal skin- Gentle Gel Cleanser, Gentle Toner, Hydrance Optimale Light, Thermal Spring Water.
- Dry skin- Gentle Milk Cleanser, Gentle Toner, Soothing Moisture Mask, Thermal Spring Water.
- Ageing skin- Ystheal+ Emulsion, Ystheal+ Cream, Ystheal+ Eye Contour, Thermal Spring Water.
- Colour treated hair-Colour enhancing shampoo and conditioner (Pomegranate).
- Blonde/light hair- Brightening and highlighting shampoo and conditioner for blonde and light brown hair (Camomile).
- Dry and damaged hair- Smoothing and nourishing shampoo and conditioner for dry and damaged hair (Mango Butter).
- Weak and thinning hair- Fortifying and revitalizing shampoo and conditioner for weak and thinning hair (Quinine & Vitamin B)
To be in the draw to win one of these fabulous prizes, simply ‘like’ the Klorane and Avene pages on Facebook (don’t worry, they’re not annoying and spam-y like some pages) then tell me in the comments section which pack you need the most. You can enter with one from each (hair and skin) if you like, or just one or the other.
- Giveaway begins on February 16 2012 and will close on Midday (AEST) 25 February 2012
- Winners will be notified by email shortly thereafter. If a reply email containing the winner’s postal address is not received by 29 February 2012, the prize will be forfeited and awarded to another entrant
- Entry is open to residents of Australia only

The Ultimate Beauty, Home and Lifestyle Giveaway
One of my extremely lucky readers will be having an extra merry Christmas this year when they receive a hamper of goodies from some of my favourite beauty, home and lifestyle brands worth $450!
The whole prize is made up of the following:
The Aromatherapy Company Candle The Aromatherapy Company Body and Bath Oil The Aromatherapy Company Sleep and Energy Pulse Points The Aromatherapy Company Viva La Colour No.5 50ml Diffuser WYLD man and WYLD Woman JOICO K-PAK Revitaluxe Treatment JOICO K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo, Conditioner and Restorative Styling Oil Nad’s Facial Wand Eyebrow Shaper Nad’s Natural Hair Removal Gel Klorane Dry Shampoo Avène Thermal Spring Water Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser Avène Skin Recovery RICH cream Avène Hand Cream
Obviously this is my biggest ever giveaway so it will require a little more than my usual one-word answers to get yourself in the draw. To be in the running to win this amazing pack, tell me which one of the products listed above is your favourite and why.
Haven’t tried any of the products before? No worries! Visit one of the brands’ sites, get a little background info and tell me why you want to try out a product. Extra credit if you tell me it’s because you’ve got a low sex drive and you really need WYLD for a bit of Summer lovin’.
I want to do a whole post on this topic, but just quickly: Avene is the brand that I attribute to the diminished appearance of my acne scars. I was too scared to put anything except Avene on my skin because it’s so delicate and now, post-insane breakout period, I still use it to heal the scarring. If you have any skin issues you really, really need to try it out.
Good luck with the competition and Merry Christmas!
