Get Your Own Look!


It’s not often that I have a bellyache about my beloved beauty business, but I think today I must. This post is tantamount to a virtual scream into the pillow of profound frustration. Why must we always “Get The Look or Get The Hair of Missy Moo” or any one of the many millions of beautiful people in our beautiFULL world? What’s the matter with getting our own gorgeous look? And your look is gorgeous too.

I am crazed today about this often bantered about slogan of “get this and get that”, because I feel it quite cavalierly bypasses our own innate beauty. Why not get your own look and…Work It Baby!? This is a far better slogan that shows an appreciation for our own infinite beauty and doesn’t prey on insecurities. The great thing about our beautiFULL world is that you are what make it so beautiful. Like it or not Lovely OnesYou Are Beautiful and it’s about time you realized it, got your own look and worked it!

Remington Professional Short Hair Cut Clipper Talk about an ergonomic brush-shaped hair clipper designed to curve to the contours of the head and makes achieving a shortly shorn hair cut just about child’s play.

The DLC coated trimmer blade is washable and comes with a 40 minute cordless operation for convenience.
  4. KEVIN.MURPHY EASY.RIDER a sensationally scented styling product that controls frizz, activates curl, and achieves a soft, messy, dewy look. It contains vitamins and botanicals to deliver a moist, conditioned, and medium to light yet natural-looking hold. Can be used on both wet or dry hair.

  7. Remington Diamond 360 Series Shaver With its world first Teflon® coated blades for a smoother skin glide, 360 degrees Flex & Pivot Technology with three independent flexing heads that follow the contours of the face, Diamond Like Carbon coated blades and 21 cutters per head with two close cut tracks you are in for a fabulously close shave.

  9. Esprit Connect for Us A fresh unisex fragrance with a fruity-woody accord. The fruity aspect of this fragrance is due to the fig notes and that of the surrounding tangerine, black currant, and lychee. The core comprises of tuberose, orange blossom, violet and notes of a sea breeze. Its decisive base notes of cedar, apricot, peach, amber, vanilla, and musk ensure that this memorable partnering endures.
  10. Gillette Fusion Power PHANTOM Five bladed shaving that delivers soothing micro-pulses that help reduce drag and improve razor glide. It’s touted to possess power so advanced, “you’ll barely feel the blades.” It comes with a Precision Trimmer and one Duracell AAA battery, so an immaculately clean shave is only ever a few strokes away.
