Halloween Psycho Dolly

This Halloween my beautiful daughter wanted to go as

Psycho Dolly,

Here is our version:

My fresh faced girl moisturized and ready to under go her tranformation.

First we had to apply foundation and concealor to her entire face

including her eyebrows

We used creamy white pencil under her eyes to extend her waterline

and carried the white shadow on to her upper lid.  Using black liquid liner

we drew in her lower lid.  We also white out her lower lashes

and lined her upper lash line.

Then we had to draw in her new crease and apply the shadow

carrying it up to her natural brow and shaping the eye.  Now draw in new eyebrows and add artificial lashes to the lower liner.

To finish we added mascara to her natural lashes, applied false lashes

added freckles and dolly lips and we were finished!

One of my favorite things about being in the cosmetic industry is the possibility to change and to create who we are and who we want to be.  Everyone one of us has a story to share and we have a right to be heard and to be accepted for who we are and what makes us unique.

It is the differences that make life interesting~

Although London Drugs does not carry the Proffesional version of Dermablend,

we do carry the consumer version at all our locations~

FreezeFrame Botox Alternative

FreezeFrame Botox Alternative

None of us want to look older,

we all want that magical solution to turn back the hands of time.

Does it really exist?

Can we get younger looking just by using a beauty product?

As a Buyer I am always skeptical of the magic potion in a bottle...

As a Skincare Buyer I am aware of the smoke and mirror presentations. 

The illusions of trick photography and time lapsed video.

This presentation was different.

Sitting in the presentation I was simply handed the product. 

No preamble, studies or marketing slides.

I was asked to put the product on my deepest line on the inside of my palm.

Once I had done that I watched this video clip.

Freezeframe TV Commercial

I was also given the opportunity to watch the entire 16 min video test,

unedited, no lighting or expression.  To watch the changes before my own eyes.

If you have the time I have posted it below...

check out the change in the deep wrinkles in the corner of her eye at

time mark 6:40 and 9:40 to compare to the before image

As I am sure you are too...this is impressive stuff

and as I sat trying to figure out

how they pulled it off...

I looked down and the deepest furrow

on the palm of my hand and it had dissappeared....

Derm Skincare for First Aid

2 weeks ago I fell and split my knee open.

7 hours in the hospital and it is confirmed that there will be no stitches

as there is not enough skin to stitch together.

The lecture about keeping the wound clean from infection,

how to properly change the dressing etc...meanwhile

I was already thinking about the massive scar that I am sure I will be left with.

I have worked with skin conditions for 20+ years but I am no doctor!

I followed my medical direction to a T, but there came a time when relief was not to be found.  I turned to my Avene Thermal water.

I have used this product to soothe angry and irratated skin.

It's pureness and soothing properties are amazing on

Babies Diaper Rash, Cuts, Scrapes, Sunburns.

No stinging, just cooling refreshing relief.

Once again this product did not dissappoint~

But I needed more...that is where Avene's Cicalfate comes in

The product is to be used on:

• Cuts, scrapes, scratches, Burns
• Cracked skin, Stitches
• Hair removal, Diaper rash
• Post-treatment

and benefits:

Helps speed the skin recovery process

Provides a healthy skin environment to minimize a potential infection

Prevents signs of scarring

Fragrance-free, preservative-free, colorant-free

Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe and soften the skin

Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic

What an amazing difference the use of this product has made! 

(in conjunction with the medical direction provided by my Doctor)

The swelling has drastically reduced,

the itching has completely dissappeared. 

The skin is soft and the angry lines that were forming scars have softened.

I realize I have a long way to go before my knee has completely healed,

but the use of the Avene products have made a significant difference!

...and my husband thought all skincreams are the same...pfffttt!!
