Ultra Lift Skin Care

For some women, money is no object when it comes to their skin and looking young. Even if you don’t quite fall into that extreme, you’ll still love these tips to find your perfect skin care regimen.

Okay ladies…who has a wee bit of crepey skin, or perhaps some “rubber bands” and this area could also be called a t urkey neck?
No need to raise your hand if this is you, but if you are concerned about your neck area, this is a product you may be interested in.

Portrait Collar Restorative Neck Crème- This neck crème is wrapped in supporting ingredients that combat sagging tissues, diminish lines and promote youthful looking skin.

I tried it for several days and enjoyed several facets of the product: such as I like the fragrance. If you are sensitive to smells, this luxurious creme does have a nice scent. It’s a rich texture and absorbs quickly. I tested it and enjoyed it but the real benefits of the product came on my very young grandma who is at 65 a very energetic, active and beauty conscious woman.

She experienced a fullness in her neck skin and less crepiness in the skin. Just a little bit goes along way and absorbed quickly into the skin. She wears her foundation over the product and had no reaction, slippage or breaking up of her makeup.

So if you are looking for a new creme to help erase some years, try Votre Vu Portrail Collar Restorative Neck Creme! And now…for a little information about the company from their website:

Can you help Rich?

10 Cities with the Most Cellulite

You can pinch more than an inch of dimpled flesh in these regions

Here’s what we know about cellulite: you can’t “cure” it, women are more likely to have it, and it ain’t pretty. What causes cellulite isn’t as clear. Hormones and genetics definitely play a role (thanks, mom), but Howard Murad, M.D., and CEO/founder of Murad, Inc., says lifestyle factors that damage the skin or cause poor circulation, think: smoking, excess weight, a diet high in bad fats, alcohol, lack of exercise and overall poor health — can also contribute. So we used these factors to find out what U.S. cities have the highest rates of cellulite risk factors. Find out if you live in one.

Hi! The Arizona Bridal Week event today in Tempe at the http://www.madcaptheaters.com/ was awesome!
Special thanks to http://www.jennyvidizon.com/ for orgainzing this week long event!

Now, while waiting for the brides to begin arriving, I sat down with Cliff Harrington of http://www.chipandachairsportpoker.com/ to learn how to play Texas Hold’em. As you can see in the photo, that’s my poker face and why I don’t play cards.
I played with DJ Greg Christofolo of http://www.bridalshowspecial.com/ and lost. Darn! Thank goodness it was play chips!

When it came time for my bridal makeup demo, up and coming model Nicole Harrington volunteered for some lashes,stain and Skindindavia. Which pretty much are the three things a bride needs for her bridal day beauty!
As with most of my photos, you can see the angel orbs floating around, which is always a good thing.
And I finished up her makeup with 2-3 light spritzes of the Skindinavia Wedding Bells spray that will help set the makeup so it doesn’t move,crease or fade after hours of wear. Really! Try some at http://www.skindinavia.com/

Woo hoo! I have found a goody for you! Just in time for Arizona Bridal week too!
I have sampled two of the Skindinavia line products under rigorous testing!
I tried the 10 Years Younger makeup finish spray and the No More Shine. Both products were called upon to hold up and perform under intense heat, lights, sweating, vigorous activity and toddler hands.
I’m happy to say t hat they both performed amazing! My makeup color pigments stayed true, after 12 hours, there was very little creasing or breaking up of my foundation.
As for shine, gone! I did retouch my makeup and add another spritz of the No More Shine spray to keep my skin looking matte, which is my preference.
So here’s the good news: if you are going to be at the Arizona Bridal Week on September 27th, I will be doing a makeup demo and will have both sprays on hand for you to try.
If you would like a free V.I.B. pass, email me! I’ve got the free $75 sitting right here ready to give away to a cost savvy bride! Visit www.arizonabridalweek.com for more information and see you at the show on September 27th!
