More Beauty Products



Thanks for stopping by!  First, I want to know if you're taking my advice and have starting walking!?  I hope so!  The next step will be to get to a gym!

Speaking of the gym, my first product is self tanner.  My advice:  don't use it when it's raining, or you're going to be working out!  I forgot I had applied the self tanner that morning, went to the gym, and of course, I did sweat!  I didn't know, until I got home, that I had these lovely streaks of brown all over my arms!  Funny, huh!!?

My second product is from Philosophy, a shower gel, called "Happy Birthday Beautiful!".  If you sign up for the awards thing at http://www.sephora.com/ or just at the store, on your birthday you get a gift!  This was my gift (in May).  It's so nice to have the smell of cake in the morning!  The cake smell does not stay on your skin, but the fragrance is there while you're showering!  I also have a yummy chocolate version!

My 3rd product is Kerastase Mouse Substantive.  There's a quick story behind this.  My haircolorist used this on  my hair and I loved it, so I was going to buy it while I was there, but they were out of it.  Shortly after I arrived home, the receptionist called me, she had found a bottle of this wonderul mouse.  So I dashed up there, bought it, and to my horror, this bottle cost of $30.00.  I'm embarrassed to even say that!  I should have just said "no thanks", but I didn't.  The other part (that's kind of funny), is the bottle says "for mature hair", oh geez, thanks!

So there ya go!  Good luck with your walking, running, or whatever you're doing to stay active!

If you have a product you'd like to review, I'd love for you to share!

I'm talking to you

Yes, I'm talking to you!

You're the one that knows you need to loose weight.  You know you need to have a healthier diet.  You know you should start working out.

But your negative side gives you all kinds of reasons not to start.  You're too tired, you don't want to go to a gym, you don't have time to make healthy meals.  Maybe you even have bad knees, but did you know swimming is easy on the joints!?

I'm your positive side, telling you that you CAN do it! 

You're going to start tomorrow.  You're going to take at least a 15 minute walk.  I don't care where.  You can just walk around your house.

The next day you'll take at least a 20 minute walk.  I guarantee, after a week, you will have more energy!

I'm going to add some easy, healthy recipes to this blog soon, so keep watching. 

I will be here for you, and I'll be pushing you more in the future! 

You can do it!

Two products to tell you about!

Bumble & Bumble Hair Powder and L'Oreal Revitalift Cream Cleanser

I'll start with L'Oreal Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Cream Cleanser (with revitalizing vitamin C and gentle exfoliating action).  I've gotten into the habit of using an exfoliating cleanser every morning.  This one is my lastest to try, what I don't like is that it's too smooth feeling.  My last exfoliating cleansers had a light "grit" feel, which made me at least think it was exfoliating!  So I'll use this one up and try another one!

Do you have that week or so before your next haircolor when you wish your appointment was sooner!?  I LOVE this product:  Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder (I have brown).  It was produced as a dry shampoo, but a small spray of this on your roots, and "poof!" those little hints of gray are gone!  I bought this months ago, and there's still plenty in, since I only use it a few times a month!  It seemed quite pricey, at about $30, but it's been well worth it!

Smile!  That's the best beauty product!

Save your Money

Save your money! Do not buy Garnier Ultra Lift Pro Gravity Defying Cream!  I've been using it since June 7th, and have not seen any difference in my skin.  I really didn't expect to, but I thought it was worth a try!

Shame on you Garnier!!

Resculpts cheeks, jawline & neck

Is it right for me?

Over time, collagen breaks down, causing the skin on the face and neck to become thin and less firm, leading to loss of definition.

Ultra-Lift Pro Gravity Defying Cream is right for you if you want a daily moisturizer that actually lifts and resculpts to help restore youthful shape to cheeks, jawline and neck.

• Dermatologist tested for safety

• Non-comedogenic—won’t clog pores

• Gentle to skin

• Allergy tested

• Non-greasy

How do I use it?

Gently apply to face and neck daily.

How do I use Ultra-Lift Pro products together?

Use full Ultra-Lift Pro regimen for optimal deep wrinkle and loss of definition treatment. Apply products in the following order:

TREAT: Deep Wrinkle Roller

MOISTURIZE: Gravity Defying Cream

EYE CARE: Deep Wrinkle Dual Eye

NIGHT: Deep Wrinkle Night Cream. Scroll upScroll down
 
Happy 4th-don't forget your sunscreen!!

Update-Week One

Me before using my new beauty product

I wanted to update you on how my new beauty product is working out!  The above picture was me before using my magic potion.

After only one week I am happy to say my new product has worked miracles!  Check it out for yourself!

It's a miracle!

I can't wait to see what happens by next week!

I'll keep ya posted!

Marking my calendar!

So I bought this magic potion yesterday!  Just imagine me at the drug store, in my basket I have 1 large Fosters beer, a bottle of Riesling, a measuring tape, and my magic potion "Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Gravity Defying Cream".  The beer was an anniversary gift for my husband, our anniversary is today, 20 years, and all he gets is a can of beer (I'm not kidding, he loves that)! The wine's for me, I suddenly love Riesling, so I've been trying it different brands! 

Back to the magic potion.  The product claims that in 4 weeks, my neck and jowl will be tighter.  I can't wait!  All I see when I look in the mirror these days is loose skin and it's driving me nuts!  The darn neck and jowl thing!  I can't imagine that this is going to help, but I'm taking the chance!  Cheaper than a face lift!

My other product, actually, my 18 year old daughter, Katherine purchased (okay, so it was with my money!).  Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock Lotion SPF 70.  I'm so happy that she's protecting her skin now!  When I was younger, there was no such thing as sunscreen!  I did hear that even though we may already have sun damage, it's never to late to protect your skin, so I'm using this too!

I'll let you know what miracles happen with the Garnier product!!

Be beautiful on the inside as well as the outside!

Great Customer Service

My pretty pink nailpolish

I've been getting my nails done every 2-3 weeks with a fantastic manicurist named Juliette.  I've actually been getting the shellac nails, which were working out great, until the last few times, not sure why.

But, Juliette has consistently gone out of her way to make this perfect for me!  I had already emailed the salon about how wonderful she is, and they actually recognized her for my shout out to her!

Anyways, back to the nails.  Juliette decided we should just go back to a regular manicure for awhile, and even lowered the price from their normal charge for a manicure!  Not only that, she gave me the nail polish she used, so I would have it for touch-ups, and I can just bring it back when I come in in 2 weeks!

I could have put this blog on my regular blog, http://www.jensvintage.blogspot.com/ since I'm talking about fantastic customer service, which every business should have!

I expect it, and when I get it, I make sure I give a shout out!  If I don't get good customer service, I will contact the company.

Since I expect it from others, I make sure I also give the very best customer service possible!  In case you don't know about my Etsy shops, here's the links http://www.jenscloset.etsy.com/ http://www.mymilkglassshop.etsy.com/ and http://www.thechinagirl.etsy.com/ be sure to check it out!

If you have a business, go the extra mile.  If you know someone that's gone the extra mile, give them a little recognition!
