BeautyMint Review

BeautyMint is a skin care line that "combines the right products in the right way...specifically for your skin."

"The way we care for our skin requires an individualized approach, matching specific problems with targeted solutions. BeautyMint Skin Care starts with you. By getting to know you through Nerida's Skin Care Consultation - the same one she uses at her Beverly Hill's clinic - we will provide you with a customized skin care system.

The ingredients in BeautyMint's advanced formulas work
together to create skin care synergy, targeting the specific skin
issues that differ from person to person. But the
results don't just come from the products alone. It's the way we
combine them that helps you achieve beautiful, protected,
youthful-looking skin."

Jessica Simpson has teamed up with skin care expert Nerida Joy to bring us a great skin care line at a great price.

I was sent the following products:

Essential Cleanser

Ultra Replenishing Serum

 Resurfacing Treatment

Strengthening Hydrator

I have used the products for about 3 weeks now and I am pleased with the results.  I have a couple dark spots (from pregnancy) that are fading and my skin tone seems to be a little more even.  I also have had really clear skin for the past few weeks- not that normal for me.  I haven't used the Strengthening Hydrator much yet, since I haven't been outside in the sun hardly at all, but I have been using the Ultra Replenishing Serum and it seems to do well with my skin (which also isn't common for me and lotions.)

The only complaints I have about the skin care line is lack of directions (they keep it really simple and for someone like me who knows little about skin care, I need more in depth instructions.)  I also have to be careful about how often I use the Resurfacing Treatment, as it tends to dry my skin out a little.  Other than those two things, I love the line and would definitely recommend it to my friends!

Belli Products Review

I was 33 weeks, exhausted, feeling frumpy and still had 1 1/2 months to go with my pregnancy.  The Belli Skin Care line I had agreed to review came at JUST the right time for me.  They came packaged in pretty tubes and smelling wonderful and I was so excited to try them out.

The first thing I did was apply a little Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator to my overly dry face.  Not only did it smell so good, but instantly my skin felt smoother, not oily, and I even thought it felt a little tighter.

I also dabbed a little Eye Brightening Cream under my eyes after a day of being tired.  I also used more the next morning and I swear I looked more awake and rested...maybe it was in my head, but maybe not :)

I used the Cleanser that night as a mask (left on my face for 5 minutes.)  It smelled SO good and also felt really great.  The next morning I also used it and felt more fresh-faced than I had in a while.  Again, maybe it was all in my head, using new products with pretty packaging, but I still felt a difference.

The last product that I tried was the Belli Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen.  I love that it smells just as good as the lotion and face wash (even though it is a sunscreen) and it is tinted too.  So far it seems to be doing a great job, although I haven't been outside a lot, so it is hard to judge.  

Now that I have used the products for 2 weeks I can say that I love them!  My skin is usually SUPER sensitive to any kind of new product and especially to lotions- I never use lotion on my face because I break out so easily from it.  But,  My skin looks great after using them daily for the past 2 weeks.  I also have to mention that I use the M2 Skin Refinish 20% along with these products and it has made all the difference in my skin.

Bronzed Envy Spray Tan Giveaway

Some of you saw my bad sunburn the other day.  Not only was I in search of a good sunblock, but also a good spray tan. 

Behold:

Blakely tells us a little about the product:

My name is Blakeley and I live in Austin, TX. I am a stay at home mom of two boys. I always knew I wanted to start my own business, but I didn't quite know what. After doing some researching for a family member about safer, quicker ways to tan I came across Airbrush Tanning. I instantly fell in love with the idea and wanted to start my own Mobile Airbrush Tanning Service. I started Bronzed Envy in October 2008 and the rest is history. People were calling right away! I make my own hours, and am able to be home for my kids during the day. After 4 months I had to hire my fist "helper" and after 6 months, I was so busy I couldn't believe it! This service is so popular and women all over the place are attaching the word "addicting" to this service. All it takes is ONE tan and you are addicted! The results are a natural toasted almond bronze, with NO orange or red undertones in the solution! I know, because I've developed the color myself. I knew exactly what my clients were looking for, and what I couldn't find in a solution. I have clients coming to me after trying other places and stay with me mainly because they adore my color! I want to share this great opportunity with other women as well. I believe its the perfect business for stay-at-home moms wanting some extra income, or someone just like me, looking for something unique to start of their own. Its a fun, easy, low investment and high profit business! Make your own hours, be your own boss, and stay as busy as you would like! I can help you with everything you need to get started. Please feel free to check out my website or email me for more information!
