Love Love Love FROWNIES!


FROWNIES

I have been using Frownies for years, and I can always count on them to give my facial indentations a plump lift.  They can be used on the forehead and crows feet, but my main concern is to plump up the nasolabial folds (parenthesis) around my mouth that are getting deeper and more pronounced as the years go by.

Personally, I skip the Frownie box that says it's for the mouth area, and get the 144 count box for the forehead/eye area (see box at left).  Having used both products, I've found that the forehead/eye patches cover more area around my mouth folds for a better result.  But feel free to try their mouth area patches if you prefer.  You can also cut these patches to any size you would want to amend them to.

My tip for you:  the Frownies company will tell you to use the Rose Water Hydrator spray that they sell, and it's not bad stuff.  But to be cost effective, I have found that using spring or distilled water in a small spray bottle is just as effective (I add a little rose essential oil, but you don't have to).  I ususally wear them overnight, but you can get a nice result from just wearing them for 3 hours.  I like to put them on just before a special event for a little extra plumping.  The results are not permanent, but they definitely help with plumping lines when you use them.

You can read more about Frownies at their official website:  http://www.frownies.com/ , but you can get them for a better price at Amazon.com.  The box above will take you to the place on Amazon that I use to order.  I choose this one because you can get free shipping if you order $25 worth of Amazon products.

Everyone loves EGYPTIAN MAGIC, including Hollywood!

EGYPTIAN MAGIC

I'm starting off with the product Egyptian Magic, as everyone just loves it....both men and women.  I first heard about Egyptian Magic in an article years ago that said that Madonna won't go anywhere without it...which peaked my curiosity.  Since then, I've found that plastic surgeons, hair stylists, dermotologists, and dozens of beauty magazines recommend this product highly.

This cream can be used anywhere on your body - face, body, hair - for any kind of problem, with a successful result!  Many people use it to reduce scars or burns, to soften skin, as lip balm, or to condition their hair.  I use it mainly for anti-aging skin hydration.  I like that it is mild around my eyes, that it has all natural ingredients, and that it lasts a long time (which makes it cost effective).  It takes about 15 minutes to absorb, so I usually use it at night.  It looks salve-like at first, but when you rub it between your hands it melts into a luscious oil.  All of my friends have gotten on the Magic bandwagon and are now EM junkies.

The link to the Egyptian Magic website http://www.egyptianmagic.com/ will give you a lot more information and sales copy, but they won't offer the best price.  They best price I've found is on Amazon, and it's free shipping! 

Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
