Giella Custom Blend Cosmetic ~ Countdown to Christmas *closed*


I have discovered a line of makeup that I wanted to share with you. I am sure you will become as big a fan as I have. Introducing Giella! The Giella philosophy is to “guide our clients through the process of selecting and applying the perfect combination of products to achieve” the image a person desires. I certainly could use someone to help me figure out colors and products and Giella does that for us!

I was sent a soft white shimmer lip gloss and wand that had a yummy vanilla scent. (Giella also offers aromatherapy flavors such as lavender, peppermint, orange, apple or cinnamon.) I have tried some glosses that made my lips sticky and I was pleased that Giella lip gloss did not. I also received concealer with soy butter to help hide the circles under my eyes as well as Giella's New Firming Eye Cream. The black nail enamel with a slight hint of white shimmer scared me at first but once I put it on, I liked the results! It was very trendy, not gaudy, which was great.

Giella does no animal testing and all of their products are non-comedo genic (non-pore clogging), fragrance free, and allergy free!

Another cool thing Giella can do is that they can color match any of your discontinued lipstick, lip gloss and nail enamel. All you have to do is send in your old lipstick tube, lip gloss container or nail enamel bottle and after they match your color, you will get your original tube back. Seriously, what more can you ask for from a makeup company?

Get ready for this! Giella wants to help you refresh your make-up selection by offering one lucky reader a $75 gift certificate. To enter visit Giella then come back here and tell me how you would customize your favorite product.

You can earn extra entries by:

2. Subscribe to my blog via email
3. Let me know one of your favorite make-up items that is now discontinued that you'd like to have again.
4. Blog about this giveaway with a link back to my site (be sure to post your link here so I know where to find it)

I'm not a huge makeup person, but I've always only had the store bought stuff. I could use a "basic" setup so I can ditch my old stuff!

I would choose the bronzer to customize. With this weather, I can use all the help I can get. I would add the oil control and soft yellow gold shimmer!

I chose to customize a loose face powder by adding oil control, the wonder brush and topping it off with a white shimmer powder.

I can't remember the exact name of the group of shades, but I had a favourite eyeshadow from cover girl that came with 3 complimenting shades (they were a taupe'y' and purple) and they were so perfect for my skin tone! I used my last one until every spec was gone...so sad :(

I had a favorite foundation discontinued two years ago...finally found another i liked maybe a tiny bit more, and when I went to buy a new thing--you guessed it, discontinued! so frustrating...

I don't want to stock up on something i'm not sure will work, but by the time it runs out, half the time it's been discontinued!

LadyBug-Kellie said...

I'm big into nail polish. I like different colors and change things up a lot. There are so many to choose from here I'd have a hayday with $75! I especially like the nail enamel NPB70. What a unique blue! Thanks for the great contest!

I would customize a bronzer that works for the winter season. I can never find one that is perfect for my skin tone. Most are too dark or too orange for winter.

I have a favorite discontinued nail polish color called "Foppish Librarian." I got it for the name, which still makes me giggle, but I've come to really love the color, which is the deep, honey-brown of dusty bookshelves. I'd love to have the color matched.

I had the coolest lip color, not pink but not read. It shimmered a bit, but not too much. I don't know what it is, because the label fell off, but I do know I've searched for it and can't find it. Boo hoo!
