Body Beautiful

Jeanasina here ladies – it's Body Beautiful day and I'm sure all of you have had to deal with some type of stress today! Right now I want you to put your stressified faces close to your computer screen so you can read every particle of information I'm about to regale you with and you won't want to miss a thing, trust me! We are going to talk about facial stress!

Honey, look in that mirror of yours and see if you don't see a little leftover sign of a moment in your day today when you grit your teeth, lifted your eyebrows up toward your scalp, stretched out your neck muscles and said “I hate...my job, my mom, my life, my car...!” You know what I mean, a feeling inside that resulted in your outside looking monumentally angry or frustrated. This is where SkinVie comes into play.

I did a LOT of reading about this new slant on face cream and found it quite fascinating! See if you don't get hooked or at least majorly interested in this cream. I have to quote several parts of their product info because cutie pies out there, it's riveting stuff! Here we go...” SkinVie Stress Releasing & Soothing Elixir is perfect for all skin types. You can use our product when the signs of aging and tension are visible on your skin. If you want to remove stressed skin, stress induced skin problems, wrinkles on face, wrinkles on eyes, fine lines, skin irritation and skin rash, use our product!” HOLY FACE AILMENTS! Does that not pretty much cover all the women reading right now?

Sweet Polly Purebred probably tried "Pure & True" products just based on their company name alone. Jeanasina here! I got to try the Glow Intensive C Rejuvenating Serum product by Pure & True because Meg loves me and sent it to me! YAY!!!

I have to quote the company because I was totally revved up as I read about them, listen to this: “We believe that true beauty is a sense of peace and well-being – indulging oneself while giving back and treading lightly on the Earth. As a company, we truly care about the way that we conduct business, the choices we make, and how these choices impact our health and environment. We are dedicated to creating luxurious organic products that make a difference for everyone.” Their words are “love pure” which is their commitment to pure ingredients!

As I mentioned, my product to try from this lovely company is called GLOW Intensive C Rejuvenating Serum. Doesn't that name itself sound nice? Anything that has the word 'rejuvenating' as part of it's name says to me that there is a possibility of major changes happening in the dastardly skin department! The formula comes in an clean looking white decanter with a silver top which looks quite impressive on your vanity. It stands out as a 'high end' product. Under the cap is a push dispenser which doles out the magic, rose hip, infused with vitamins C & E and several other natural ingredients, product. This serum is structured to revitalize your skin and promote collagen synthesis and lighten hyper pigmentation. All those things are things I have my hand raised up in the air for daily while I shout “Pick me! Pick me! I need those things! I need collagen for droopy skin" and I have hyper pigmentation big time which is another way to say “horrible, unsightly, stupid-for-sun-bathing-like-a-maniac-skin-damage!" Bring it! Slather me up – make it transform! GLOW was easy to use as it's intent is to be a one step treatment that combines the power of a serum and the hydration of a moisturizer. It can be used as an eye treatment and all over the face and neck. For best results you should use it on clean skin morning and night! This means don't put it on immediately after you get home from your mud-wrestling gig.

Meg here! Life is funny, our wonderful Jeanasina sent me an email yesterday letting me know she was under the weather and to ask me if I could cover for her. Of course I could. The only problem was I have been in NYC for the past 10 days running from meeting to meeting learning about the new Holiday gift lines. I had no time to break out something new and really spend the time that I usually do to give a product justice.

Then I got an email, a girlfriend of mine asked me if I would want to cover The new Limited Pop Up Store in Soho. I would come down and blog in the store's window and learn about the line and then of course, fab cocktail party.

So now I am like a zoo animal typing this and ignoring the people that walk by and look confused "why is that lady working in the window?" If you happen to be near 134 Spring Street then come on by and stare at me like a circus freak. Unless you're that annoying guy I'm hiding from, in that case the store's in Brooklyn.

Feeling a bit witchy myself these days, Goddess Granny here to scent up this season of all this smokey and spooky in the BEST possible way! After the Summer from hell here in South Texas, I am feeling the cooler breezes signal a need to lay my precious floral "Black Gardenia" scent by Michele Bergman to rest for a few months and have been on a hunt for "something" that would envoke all that is Autumn and sexy in a bottle for this change of season!

I strolled, I sniffed, I searched. I am not one to buy the latest "designer in a bottle" scent simply because I want to send not only a message by my choice of how I smell but also NOT to smell like 10 other women in a room wearing exactly the same one. Yes, there ARE so many perfumes out there to choose from and literally if I could, I'd sample them all, I adore perfume that much.

Meg here! I'm not alone anymore it is so great! I have two of the most fabulous co-workers now that are real life day-to-day life colleagues. Eleni and MissRo work with me tirelessly. On top of putting in days that go from 9am until (so not kidding) some nights midnight and yeah, some weekends-they're also supposed to keep me on my toes. I'm about as effective as Michael Scott. They are so on their A-Game constantly. I try to sneak stuff by...

If you ever have the pleasure of meeting our product/inventory/content directory/operations manager Eleni-you'll see within the first 5 minutes that NOTHING gets by her-NOTHING.

I get sent a lot of beauty products to try and I hate to buy when I don't have to. I reviewed Diana B. Bath Gel in Peach Frangipani years back and I got hooked. It smells so incredible to me. The lather is divine, I don't know what happened but I started to get the "Oh boy, you smell yummy-what are you wearing?" When I had no perfume on, just the linger from my Peach Frangipani bath gel.
