Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System

LoveOrHateDebate — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:41:49 +0000

Daisy told you all about the devise, now let me put my two cents in. Clarisonic recently launched their miniature-sized version of their original Clarisonic: Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System. It’s cheaper than the original model, it’s available in pink and it’s just perfect for the traveling woman or your college daughter.

Why choose this one compared to the other three models by Clarisonic? Check out their chart featuringthe Mia, Classic, PLUS and PRO and see their differences for yourself.

Why do I like the Clarisonic Mia?
I’ll start with the fact that it’s small but more importantly, I feel that it is works just as well as the Clarisonic Classic. The Mia head brush is the same size as the Classic, but it is about two inches smaller than the origina;. It still covers the same surface area as the Classic would—it is just not as bulky! It comes with a pLink charger opposed to a cradle charger like the Classic, making it easier for travel and storage.

I know what you’re thinking: “What’s the downside?“

Unlike the Classic which has two speed settings, Mia only has one. However, you probably will not even notice the lack of speed options. The battery life is also different. With a full charge, Mia will last twenty minutes while the Classic lasts thirty. Once again, you probably will not even notice the difference. I use my Mia at least five times a week, sometimes for more than two minutes at a time, and I only have to charge it once every two weeks…so I’m not sure if the twenty minute battery is accurate but I feel that I am getting more out of it than that.

Overall, I feel the Clarosonic Mia is a great investment. It is an easy and an efficient way to cleanse your skin. It cleans your skin up to six times as deep as washing your face with your hands would and I feel that it leaves me with a smoother and clearer overall look. I really enjoy having Mia handy, she comes with me everywhere and although I still wash my face with my hands, I am sure to wash it over again with Mia. The cleaner the better, and Mia can help you get there!

Mia™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System What it is:

A travel-friendly, professional-quality skincare brush.

iPad, Kindle, The World Now in Your Hands

LoveOrHateDebate — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:14:40 +0000

Apple has made magic again with its latest product, the iPad. It looks like an iPhone on steroids and works like an iPhone on the juice, too. If this is the first you’ve heard of the iPad’s release, don’t be surprised; Steve Jobs and everyone at Apple know they don’t need to advertise, not even so much as putting up a billboard.

So here’s the low-down on the new gadget to compensate Apple’s lack of in-your-face marketing. Apple Apps dominate its function, not a point of criticism but this does add to the feeling that you’re working with a giant iPhone. The consistency in products is nice though, especially with software that is famously user-friendly and straightforward.

The specs breakdown:

• Approximately ten hours of battery life when the settings are kept at energy-efficient levels; battery is also rechargeable as would be expected.
• 9.7” LED screen that promises a great picture no matter what angle you hold it at (practically).
• Similar usage as the iPhone and iPod touch surface, but Apple promises a much smoother, more precise touch than either of its touchscreen predecessors.
• AT&T 3G internet coverage
• Also like the iPod touch, the iPad comes with three GB options: 16, 32, 64—the standards.

A few criticisms of the iPad: The name irks me, just saying it makes me think of old Aunt Flow and I think I’m going to rename it the iTop for my personal vocabulary. No camera, surprising and a big points loss. Awkward size between computer and book, but if you don’t mind carrying things or love the oversized purse look, you’ll have no problem. The lack of Flash capability was a good move on Apple’s part to keep iTunes’ revenue flowing, and blocking live streaming video sources such as Hulu from outsourcing the program.

Let’s take a second to compare the iPad to the competition. One of the first similar products on the market that comes to mind is the Kindle, Amazon.com’s portable, electronic library. The main and noteworthy difference between the Kindle and iPad, is the utility of each. While the iPad can surf the net, email and play videos, the Kindle was created to store thousands of books on an easy to read screen that you could take with you wherever you go, also giving you the ability to buy books anywhere, anytime.

There are two sizes to the Kindle Wireless Reading Device , the larger of which matches the iPad and the smaller of which measures 6” diagonally. The battery life is also much longer, lasting up to about a week.

Other than the Kindle, a laptop or netbook, the iPad will be in a league of its own. If you’re a frequent flyer and would prefer the company of several movies over hundreds of books, the iPad is a clear winner. If your to-read book list is longer than your have-read list, the Kindle is the way to go.

Arbonne FC5 The Science of Beauty and f.y.i. Teen Speak Your Language

LoveOrHateDebate — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:59:45 +0000

We reviewed Arbonne’s FC5 The Science of Beauty and f.y.i. Teen Speak Your Language. Wow were we impressed!

Arbonne’s exclusive fresh science FC5 hydrates, cleanses, exfoliates, and moisturizes! Plus the added benefit of UVA and UVB protection.

We tested out the spf lotion and face wash while on vacation. Each morning after waking up sun kissed our skin was slightly dry and needed moisturizer.This SPF was refreshing, light, and smelled delicious! Plus, we didn’t burn once- phew!

FC5 Pro’s:

- Botanically based on herbal and botanical principles.
- Hypoallergenic: Voluntary human testing meets hypoallergenic substantiation claim criteria.
- Never tested on animals or by-products
- Formulated without mineral oil
- Formulated without dyes or chemical fragrances: Dyes and fragrances are known irritants and can cause allergic reactions.

We also reviewed the f.y.i. teen body care products which we absolutely LOVED. I think this is a great product for every woman -teens and adults. The body better was soothing and worked as an aloe vera substitute (When my poor boyfriend burned his shoulders), and was the perfect touch after shaving our legs. I kept the perfume in my purse throughout the trip (to the airport, out to dinners, dancing, etc.), and found it very useful. The shower gel was a perfect way to end the day at the spa and lets be honest -- I didn’t want to share!

My suggestion? Would make a perfect birthday or holiday gift, and even a stocking stuffer. Or you could treat yourself to relaxation at an affordable price!

Do You Bring Your Buddy To the Grocery Store?

LoveOrHateDebate — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:58:33 +0000

So after reviewing the Fabulous Blue Avocado Bags I became an amazing, help-the-environment, eco-friendly citizen…all by using those bags when going to the grocery store. Yet

get to the register I can’t get to them to pack it up! My Gosh! So… we found a solution.

Comfy, Convenient, and Cute! By using the Tote Buddy, you help
keep the ocean a little purer, the mountains a little fresher, the
earth a little more sustainable. Doing the right thing just feels
good. And our landfills will thank you. Now, who’s your buddy?

Blisoma

Would you apply Vegetarian Clay on your face? That’s what Blissoma is all about! While we receive many requests for beauty lines, this one stood out because of its natural approach. They call it “food for the skin!” Blissoma’s ingredients are derived from organic foods and herbs making this a healthy product! We tested out several of their products, and focused in on the “peace” and “refine.”

Lets face it -- we all have hectic and stressful days and at by the time it gets dark outside we really do need some peace in our lives! Peace is an evening facial creme that has an anti-inflammatroy calming treatment making it perfect for all skin types and gave me just the right amount of nutrients and moisture for my skin. I like that this solution is made for flakiness and acne (non-oil related).

Next from Blisoma:

Next from Blissoma: Any woman out there who has several face masks in her mirror closet and continues to convince themselves that you will do it “later?” I have the same problem….but when I actually used this creamy clay formula and saw results I actually went back for seconds later in the week. This formula is made from lava clay beds in Morocco -- jeez! That’s far away I feel honored to be using it! It has iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and others that are typically a part of our vitamin intake (or what we are supposed to take lol)! I also love that there is organic Licorice in this product to lighten sun damage. Awesome!

Pros:
Pros:
- Vegetarian3
- Certified cruelty-free
- 100% truly natural!

Mom loved this product as much as I did Youth Veil Airbrush FX

The Mineral Youth Veil really smoothed out my mom’s face, probably because its loaded with soothing and calming botanicals. If you have any redness or shadows on your face it’s time you do something about it! Youth Veil Airbrush FX will help erase the look of dullness as it lifts and re-plumps the appearance of facial contours. This powder
doubles as an anti-aging treatment to offset the look of aging. The talc-free powder is exceptionally micro-milled to re-create the soft, smooth, pore-free look of a professional airbrush machine.

Pros:

- Light
- Easy to Apply
- Leaves you Glowing

-Keep the lid closed tightly or it will get all over your purse or a make up case.

Another great product we reviewed in this video is Amon Maternity

Last, but certainly not least are the Amon Maternity products. This company catering to expecting mothers nailed it with their body-shaper bottoms and bands that works wonders!

for an expecting mother this is the perfect product that will support her belly & back, while making her clothes look smother on top!

Episode 21 – Stocking Stuffers Part 1

LoveOrHateDebate — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:58:35 +0000

In this webisode we reviewed The Go Girl “Tool” (as we like to call it) and Skin Authority Skincare products.

Bottom line -- the Go Girl tool is one of the most interesting and creative innovations we have seen. This colorful and petite product is the way to stand up to crowded, disgusting, distant or non-existent bathrooms. Its a female urination device (sometimes called a FUD) that allows you to pee while standing up. Its neat. Its discreet. Its
hygienic.

Although this sounds “cool,” actually using this device is an unforgettable experience. I was shocked to learn what it’s like [yes, to pee], from a male’s perspective. I recommend each woman try it at least once in their lifetime -- At the least you will get a few laughs out of it! For $6.99 it’s a fun stocking stuffer idea that will make your friends and family giggle.

All the best,

Stephanie

The next product we chose for Stocking Stuffers this holiday season is the Skin Authority GO! GORGEOUS KIT. With four personal-size products in one kit, this is perfect for travel or the gym! It includes their most powerful products in one, convenient, easy-to-use routine. We tested it out and found results! My skin was firmer, smoother,
and more hydrated.

The kit includes: Daily Cleanser, 0.7 fl oz; Resurfacing Accelerator, 0.7 fl oz; Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator, 0.7 fl oz; Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 UVA 4-Stars, 0.7 fl oz.

A big Love from us for both the Go Girl and Skin Authority -- especially for Stocking Stuffers this holiday season!

Happy Holidays,

Daisy

Episode 20 – Hem Tape

LoveOrHateDebate — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:16:45 +0000

I am pretty confident that every woman (and some men) have this problem. You purchase jeans or pants you love, and then struggle trying to decide if they are going to be your “night” pants or your “daytime” wear. Why? Because you have to get them shortened to fit the occasion. Guess What? Hem Tape is the solution! You no longer have to buy jeans for heals AND jeans for flats. You can just use Hem Tape to shorten your bottoms and remove them back to their original state with this double sided tape which was made specifically for this reason!

Pros
- Easy to apply and remove
- Allows you to wear heels/flats
- 18 in 1 pack
- Doesn’t stick to fabric
- Fairly inexpensive ($12), especially when you are saving big bucks on other pants!

Cons
- If you are doing a lot of walking it might come undone, so plan to take some with you if you need to patch things up.

Episode 19 – Keep Your Color In

LoveOrHateDebate — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:32:28 +0000

I do not have oily hair. However, the biggest problem I face with
Shampoos and Conditioners is that after I dry my hair it looks like
it’s still wet. Thats right -- it looks that oily.
Another problem that drives me nuts is that I pay big bucks to get my
hair done and sometimes colored, and the color washes out in a few
weeks. This really bugs me. When I found out that this is caused from
sulfates in Shampoos I had to find a product without this sulfate
component. That’s when I found Pureology.

Here’s what happened -- and I can assure you I tested this out on
camera…Yes, this is me coming out of the shower. I washed, I blow-
dried, and there was no oily hair!! Weeks later I noticed my color was
perfectly in tact. I am one happy camper.

PROS:

- Sulfate Free
- Made my hair soft
- Oil free hair
- Proteins
- Aromatherapy Blend

CONS:

- It’s pricey

If I am going to pay to have my hair died, I am definitely going to
pay a little more to maintain the color. Thumbs up for me! I love it.
