Giveaway Day 7: The Cream of Augustinus Bader

The jury's out. Augustinus Bader is the best skincare of all time, according to WWD Beauty Inc, who put together the definitive list of top skincare products by harnessing the voices of authority in the beauty world – experts such as founders, retailers, influencers, editors, analysts and artists in the field.

If the word of the "industry bible" of beauty is anything to go by, you're now looking at the Number 1 product – Augustins Bader's heroes The Cream and The Rich Cream occupy the top spot on the list. According to the beauty panel, it's "the combination of the right product launched at the right time in the right way. It does what it says it's going to do."

And what it says it'll do is this: The Cream, inspired by 30 years of research and innovation, is an ultra-lightweight and instantly hydrating cream that promises even out the skin's tone and texture, restoring vibrancy, health and radiance back to tired-looking skin.

The Outcome from the 30-year Research

Developed by Professor Augustinus Bader, a leading scientist in the stem cell biology field, The Cream is the outcome of his 30-year exploration of perfecting the skin healing and reawakening process.

Bader used natural ingredients to create an optimal environment for the body's repair and renewal. The brand's proprietary Trigger Factor Complex (TCF8), combines natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules in a unique formula that helps transform the complexion and replenish moisture. It's the key to transformative properties in Augustinus Bader's skincare.

Winter weather tends to dry and dull out our skin. The Cream can ensure your skin maintains its glossy glow for the holiday season.

Christmas Giveaway Day 6: Aveda x 3.1 Phillip Lim 2021 Holiday Collection

"Nature is the best beauty artist of all," said Aveda, one of the first beauty and haircare companies that endorses greater environmental responsibility. For decades, they have been innovating high-quality products like shampoo, bath, and body care, with a vegan and eco-friendly formula that has never changed.

This year, Aveda has partnered with 3.1 Phillip Lim, a global fashion brand, to bring the botanical world of beauty to life together. Their 2021 Holiday Collection items include stylish hair accessories and gift packaging that is created with sustainability at heart.

Paint with Affections

The Aveda x 3.1 Phillip Lim Holiday Collection showcases handpainted accessories in a blatantly beautiful style. With brushes featuring the curve and shape of leaves, the power and awe of nature are in full bloom. Vivid greens and flamboyant corals are woven peacefully together to form gorgeous wildflowers and plants.

Only someone with profound feelings for nature could have painted this way. The designs are by Sophie Parker, a botanical artist who uses fresh-cut botanicals as a natural canvas to create the magnificent prints in the holiday collection. In her past works, she has a fondness for letting the plant itself guide her brushstrokes and colour choices.

Aveda: Create with Respect

The covetable, limited-edition hair accessories are created with respect for the Earth. They include a hair towel wrap and a carrying bag that are made of 100 percent organic cotton. The plush wrap secures snugly on the head with a convenient button and loop closure to gently remove moisture from the hair after washing and help decrease dry time.

The scrunchie trio, made of recycled PET (from things like plastic water bottles), is easy on hair and make for a fashionable wrist accessory when not in use. Another surprising design is the wide-tooth detangling comb, made from an extremely high percentage of post-consumer recycled polypropylene and fibre carton, embracing the holistic approach to haircare that Aveda's founder championed.

Plant more Beauty

There's more to come next year for Aveda's beautiful and luxurious products, with the aim of giving back to the earth in a beautiful cycle of regenerative gifts. In January, Aveda will be introducing a Nutriplenish Treatment Masques which gives four times more hydration to hair instantly. Another special styling solution is the Nutriplenish Curl Gelée is designed to create shiny and defined waves. Stay tuned for the new launch in 2022!

How to Enter

At Prestige, we're giving away a set of Aveda x 3.1 Phillip Lim 2021 Holiday Collection to five lucky winners. Five winners will get the chance to take home one limited-edition Aveda x 3.1 Phillip Lim Hair Tower with Carrying Bag, one limited edition Aveda x 3.1 Phillip Lim Detangling Comb, one Nutriplenish Leave-in Conditioner (200ml) and one Nutriplenish Curl Gelée (200ml).
