For those of you doing some romancing this week for Valentine's Day, we're rolling out everything from lovey-dovey gift guides to V-Day nail art and all the best sexy products to get you in the mood for love. First up is gifts for the boy, which, to be honest, is always a tough one. When it comes to buying male beauty and grooming products, we generally find ourselves trying to instil better hygiene, so you might see a bit of that in here... let's go, lover.
In our continued celebration of the London 2012 Olympics, we've teamed up with official sponsor Oral-B to give away two very exciting prize packs. Valued at over $300, each prize pack contains a Oral-B Triumph electric toothbrush with Smart Guide, and a Panasonic Lumix S2 digital camera — just what you'll need to show off those pearly whites and capture your proudest moments. Plus, the Oral-B Triumph with Smart Guide removes up to twice as much plaque as a manual toothbrush, so you know what that means — less trips to the dentist. Hooray! All you have to do is Like us on Facebook and then tell us in the comments section below: Which female Australian athlete has made you the proudest in this year's Olympic games and why?
This giveaway has ended.
Eamon Sullivan is just one of three Australian athletes to land a beauty and grooming contract out of the 2012 London Olympics. As a major global partner of the Games, P&G — the company behind big-name brands such as Gillette and Pantene — is sponsoring the entire Australian Olympic team but has chosen Eamon Sullivan, Emily Seebohm and Sophie Edington to be ambassadors for Gillette, Pantene and Oral-B respectively. Explaining its involvement with the Olympics, Maile Carnegie, Managing Director of P&G Australia and New Zealand says: "While we are not in the business of sports, P&G is in the business of helping mums . . . Every Olympic athlete has a mum and mums are with their children every step of the way, nurturing and encouraging them." P&G even went so far as to survey the athletes about mum's support, finding that, between them, the mums have had over 5,000 early morning starts, travelled 6.5 times around the world and done 11,000 extra loads of washing to support their children's Olympic dreams. Wowsers! All the athletes said they're extremely honoured to be picked as P&G ambassadors, with Sullivan joking that the task of shaving his legs ahead of the Games will be easier, not to mention cheaper, now that he's part of the Gillette family!
With her picture-perfect smile and luminous skin, it's easy to see why we wanted gorgeous Australian television presenter Sophie Falkiner to share her favourite beauty buys. As well as her presenting duties she's also a mum to two young kids, which means she loves products that can cut her beauty prep time in half! To get the lowdown on the hair product she calls a "Godsend" and the lip balm she carries everywhere, walk right this way and take a look through her makeup bag!
