About Me

My love and passion for the beauty industry have led me to my dream job! I am the Cosmetic Buyer for London Drugs, Canada. I work for a great company, travelling the world, following trends and buying the great products that you see in our Cosmetics departments.

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.


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....

Want to learn more?

This product will have an
Exclusive Premiere at London Drugs!

The original shipment is in limited quantities
due to arrive in all our locations Sept 1.

If you want would like us to reserve one for you,
please contact your LD Cosmetic Department
where they will happily take your information
and put one on hold for you.

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!!
