September 2009

Meg here! Hmmm, maybe Chris Brown and Roman Polanski were busy. Are we really so desperate for role models and celebrity that it has come to this Nike?

Good thing this wasn't Jimmy Choo. I'm never in anything less then 3 inches so it's not a huge sacrifice for me to not buy those ugly ass shoes.

Nike has hired Michael Vick to an endorsement deal. No I'm not kidding.

Hey everybody! You know what time it is? That's right! It's time to read another segment of Body Beautiful with Jeanasina!

So, I'm sure most of you have heard of the Murad brand – it's been around since 1989! The fact that it's still in existence tells me that their products must be working and they must continue to have advances in their skin care lines which keep up with the times and needs of women in 2009! Three of Murad's newer advanced skincare line products consists of their Vitalic Energizing Pomegranate Cleanser, Moisturizer and Exfoliating Mask!

I'm here to talk about the mask! Well first of all, right now, everywhere you look as well as in every ad you see and hear, there seems to be a constant message telling us that pomegranates are the way to go. I thought of Meg immediately as I was writing, because I bet she would love to sip on a pomegranate martini while reading my review right now! In case any of you want to sip on a pomegranate martini while I talk (it would be very appropriate)...here's a fun little video that tells you exactly how to make it!http://video.about.com/cocktails/Pomegranate-Martini.htm

While you are enjoying your drink, I'll fill you in on some facts about the Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask!

Meg here! We had quite a few contests going on and here are the lucky Meg Heads that have won! If your name is below please get in touch with me so I can get your fabulous gifts off to you!

The Winner Of the MD Confidential line is Savvysherri. She said in her post "savvysherri says-My skin issues are major dark circles from working at night (I am at work right now) and dark blotches on the sides of my cheeks which are possibly from driving even though I use sunscreen everyday.  I also have rosacea which adds redness around my nose and on my cheeks and on my nose.

I use Dr. Perricone's Cleanser everyday and his firming moisturizer (Face firming activator) on day's when my boyfriend is not there to tell me that my face smells like a fish.  I use Dr. Brandt's microdermabrasion every few days to exfoliate, I really do feel that it works the best for me.  I used Murad's Perfecting Day Cream for brigthening before they changed the formula (it no longer contains the brightness it once had).  I used this on brides when I did makeovers it really brightened the face.

"It's raining,it's pouring..." Goddess Granny just put on her flip-flops and went out to splash around in a puddle! Some new beauty treatment aka a mud-pedi or something you ask? Naw...it's just that it's literally been MONTHS since I have seen the wet stuff and it did me good to just go wallow in the mud for a few minutes.

Sometimes those "simple pleasures" really ARE the best!

I also love when a company keeps thing real and simple: an edited menu of fabulous products containing elegantly pure and refined ingredients can be more satisfying than an entire buffet of less than exciting fare! I for one am a believer that quality=longevity as well.

A company that has been in biz since 1969? Obviously they are doing a LOT right! With an incredible, creative, and thoughtful line of specialty bath and body products, "Naturally Upper Canada" has achieved this amazing degree of success and continues to set the bar in the bath and body industry. Exceptional quality-standards in a product will win out over trendy packaging every time with me and although I do love a good glitter-infused tub o' lovely here and there, I adore their sparse but beautifully-shaped and simple presentation in a rich brown jar.
Their commitment to quality and purity combined with exceptional value in products that are divine simply cannot be beat!
