The Pink Package & Borrow My Bag!

I am SO excited about these two programs that I am now running with my skin care business.  Check them out!

You can be the first to try out our NEWEST and COOLEST products, before others can have them in hand.  Email me here, to sign up for this awesome program!

And....  Here's the second one:

If you can't read the words, you will get a bag, with your word that you will return it to me, full of some of my favorite products.  You get to try it for a week and then share your opinions with me!  Email me here to sign up for this program or ask more info.

We are settling in!

The one thing about moving, especially every few years, is that we settle in very quickly.  So we've been here for a week and are settling in nicely.  I have my new driver's license, got my car registered, and have all the appropriate items to get into and out of our gates at the neighborhood we live in (we live in a gated community).  I have even started to book makeovers, so if you are in the Ft Myers/Naples/SW FL area, send me an email and schedule your own Beauty Bar, or makeover, or pampering session!

Anyway, one of the promotions I am running right now, for my Beachbody business is a 12-day Shakeology Group!  Here's what it includes.




Shakeology is my FAVORITE meal of the day.  I do replace one of my 4-5 meals a day with Shakeology.  I have a TON more energy, feel better and it truly fills me up.  To learn more about Shakeology, click here.

I will be updating everyone.  One of my good friends has challenged me to run the Disney Princess 10K & half marathon.  This scares me.  I have never done a half.  But I promise I will keep you updated on my training progress.

I also have a new 21 Day Fix Challenge Group starting soon.  Click here to learn more about the 21 Day Challenge, or to purchase!

Hope everyone is having a great summer, so far!  And I am thinking about all my military friends who are PCS'ing right now.  I hope it goes smoothly and that everyone and everything arrives to their new duty stations safely.

Moving sucks!

So we are in day 2 of our pack up.  They should be done packing us all up today.  And tomorrow, they load up the trucks.  I hate this part...  It makes it even more real that we are leaving.  It is completely bitter sweet.  I know we are on for more adventures, and new places to live, but I also really like it here.

Anyway, so now for a bit of business...  I am currently inviting you to join my next challenge group!  June 9 we will be starting a 14 Day Clean Eating challenge group (click here to join this group).  It is totally free and will give you a GREAT idea of what I am trying to accomplish with my nutritional goals.

Looking for more with an accountability group?  Want a specific exercise program to go with it?  Check out my next 21 Day Fix Challenge group, which starts also June 9.  Click here to learn more about this program.  It involves a portion controlled eating plan, an intense, but short, daily workout and if you are a part of the challenge group, you will get daily accountability, tips, tricks, and recipes and so much more!  I'd love to have you join me!  Click here to join me and get healthy, strong and leaner!

On my other business, I am offering something I've never done before.  I am offering a "Pink Package".  This is a sneak peek box, similar to those other boxes you see people posting about all the time, that will have the latest Mary Kay products.  This is a quarterly box, so you will get one 4 times a year or every 3 months.  It does include FULL sized products!  Which are always backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee!  Plus, you will get special samples and offers.  All this for only $25!  Click here to sign up for this special deal.  Sign ups end June 5, and boxes will ship June 12.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 9

Today's product:

*A personal favorite* Microdermabrasion Set!  This set is so wonderful.  It has completely changed my skin, for the better, of course.

This set has been a top seller since it launched.  It is a two-part system.  It goes to work immediately to fight fine lines, make pores look smaller and revitalize skin so it looks noticeably softer and smoother.  The first step is the same crystals that are used by a dermotologist.  It feeds and nourishes the skin from below, which brings oxygen to the surface of the skin and stimulates circulation.  This is where you'll get your glow, ladies!

Step two feeds and nourishes the skin from above, and feels like silk.  It is comprised of the exclusive Mary Kay triple-tea complex. 

How it works: use about a quarter size amount for your face and neck, of Step 1 - Refine.  Massage it in with a lot of water.  Rinse thoroughly with warm water.  Dry your skin, and apply 2 pumps of Step 2 - Replenish.  It is safe to use about 2 times a week, but make sure to NOT use any acne products on the same day.  And it is best to wait a day, at least, inbetween uses.

Retail price: $55
-Is about 30 applications
-Clinically tested for skin irritancy and allergy
-Fragrance-free
-Oil-free
-Hypoallergnic

12 Days of Christmas - Day 8

Today's product:
TimeWise Moisture Renewing Gel Mask  Now, this is a product I don't use, because I am an oily person... well I have oily skin.  It is best for Normal to Dry skin types.  So all the claims that I have on this one, are from the company.

This mask was formulated with scientifically studied ingredients that help qunch your skin's thirst in addition to other skin-loving benefits.  Signs of stress disappear, as skin feels calmed, purified and nourished.

This mask instantly hydrates, while also locking in moisture.  It helps skin feel firmer, healthier, smoother and softer.  It also helps reduce the appearance of pores as well as fine lines and wrinkles. 

How to use: apply a thick, even layer to cleansed skin.  Leave on for 5-10 minutes, and remove with a warm, wet washcloth.  Gentle enough to use 2-3 times per week.

Retail price: $20
-Suitable for sensitive skin
-Oil-Free
-Fragrance-free
-Non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores)
-Dermatologist tested

*I don't know many oily skin types that want to add moisture to their skin.  But if you are willing to try, let me know, and I'd love to get your honest opinion of this product. 

12 Days of Christmas - Day 7

Today's product:

Mint Bliss Energizing Leg & Foot Cream.  Oh what can I say about this AWESOME product?  It is amazing and will make your feet and legs feel devine!

The cream has a cool mint formula that helps feet and legs feel revived.  It makes your feet feel great, if you are on them all day long and it is moistruizing, as well.

Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover

Enjoy!

12 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Today's product:

MASCARA!  I don't know a single woman that doesn't love mascara and we have the BEST!  (Yes, I am biased!)

Today's product is our mascara, either the Ultimate or Lash Love mascara.

Ultimate Mascara:
Retail price: $15

This formula is extremely volumizing and super-thickening!  It is smudge, flake, and clump reisitant.   It creates big, bold lashes that stay seperated all day long!

It comes in Black and Black/Brown.

Lash Love Mascara:
Retail price: $15

This comes in two formulas, water resistent and water proof!  Lashes appear fuller, lifted and multiplied.  The special brush is flexible, and seperates and coats all lashes, even fine and hard to reach lashes!  Looks natural and soft, flawless finish.  It also has an exclusive Panthenol Pro Complex and vitamin E to help moisturize, strengthen and condition lashes.  This formula defines, defends and delivers four times the volume without looking overdone!

Visit my website to learn more about either of these formulas or to place an order: www.marykay.com/lizherman

12 Days of Christmas - Day 4

Today's product: Lash Primer

Okay, so I use this product, but not regularly.  So we both are going to learn something today! 

This product gives your mascara a little boost to deliver the look of longer, more voluminous lashes.  It instantly intensifies lash volume and creates longer-looking lashes.  It also strengthens and helps condition lashes and lifts your lashes and helps them stay curled longer.

It is a clear formula, and the company has promoted this as a clear mascara for that "natural" look. 

Retails: $15
-Ophthalmologist tested
-Suitable for contact lens wearers
-Suitable for sensitive eyes

12 Days of Christmas - Day 3

Today's product is one of our newer products, and a personal favorite of mine, the Lash & Brow Building Serum.  This product is AMAZING.  It rebuilds and thickens your lashes, and brows.  (I haven't tried it on my brows, but my lashes look amazing now, because of this product.)

Okay, company material on this product:
This product helps lashes look fuller, and thicker and have more volume.  Just use it once a day for 30 days & you'll see the results that women everywhere are talking about!

So, an independent study done with this product said that 7 out of 10 women said their lashes look fuller.  80% also said that it helped reduce lash loss during makeup removal (don't forget about our Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover).  77% said it reduced las hbrittleness and breakage.  76% said the look of thin, sparse lashes was improved and 65% said the look of thin, sparse brows was improved.

I have used this product and LOVE it.  What you do is make sure to use your Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover and remove all your eye makeup, at night.  If you wear contacts, you need to take them out before using this product.  Then unscrew the top, and brush the gel on your lash line (where your lashes meet the skin).  Leave it there all night to do it's magic and in 30 days, viola!  Gorgeous lashes!  For brows, just brush on the gel on sparse or bare areas in the direction of hair growth. 

Retails: $38-Ophthalmologist-tested
-Suitable for contact lens wearers
-Suitable for sensitive eyes

12 Days of Christmas - Day 2

*Please excuse me, I forgot to post this yesterday.  So you will get 2 in one day!


Day 2:
Satin Lips Set - this 2 step set gently exfoliates and moisturizes your lips.  It helps with dry, chapped lips, and gives you those kissable lips.

Retail price: $18

Visit my website to learn more about it, or to purchase (www.marykay.com/LizHerman)

12 Days of Christmas - Day 1

Okay, so I have decided to share with you what we call our "12 Days of Christmas" set... you'll get to see one product per day!

So Day 1:
The Beauty that Counts.  Every year, Mary Kay helps to change the lives of women worldwide, through the Mary Kay Foundation.  For the past several years, we have had lipsticks or lip glosses that are limited edition colors and $1 from the sale of each, goes to help change the lives of women.

Retail price: $14 each, with $1 from each sale going to the Mary Kay Foundation

Check out my website (www.marykay.com/LizHerman) for more information or to purchase these lip glosses.

ALSO, my personal goal is to sell 100 of these by December 15.  When I do, I'll be donating $100 to the Mary Kay Foundation.  So we will be doubling our donation to help women worldwide!

One of my favorite products!

Okay, so I haven't really mentioned my business much in this blog, yet... because I wasn't sure which way I wanted to take my blog.  BUT it is about time. 

So, I wanted to tell you all about one of my all time FAVORITE products!  In fact, it is one that my customers love and I have a hard time keeping it on my shelf.  It is our Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover.  It cleans all your eye make up, waterproof and regular mascara, easily and gently.  It doesn't leave your eyes feeling greasy either.  It is hypoallergenic and safe for contact wearers, I know I am one.  It has been tested by opthamologists.

How you use it is to shake the bottle until the two formulas mix and become a milky color, squirt some on a cotton ball or round, and gently wipe away your eye makeup.  I like to place the cotton ball on my eye for a minute to let the solution absorb the makeup and then wipe.  I feel like it comes cleaner when I do that. 

It is not oily, at all, even though it looks like it.  In fact, it is made up of (and here's where I'm going to get all scientific on y'all! hehehehe) poloxamer 184 and cyclohexasiloxane, and other things.  The first is the cleansing agent, and the later is the solvent and emollient. 

It is also great to take lipstick off your lips without making your lips become red or irritated.  It helps when you are trying lipstick colors, so that you can get a good idea of the true color of the lipstick and how it reacts with your lips. 

Retail cost: $15

Too cool, when I googled the product, we were mention in Allure magazine in 2011.  Here's the link: http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2011/mary-kay-makeup-remover
