Ungenita Goes Natural With Benecos

ungenitabeautyblog — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 21:01:29 +0000

I truly enjoyed prancing around The Natural Product Expo but it didn’t take me long to stumble upon Benecos Cosmetics. Okay, I have to be honest, they lured me with cupcakes. Can you believe they had cupcakes (at the Natural Product Expo) displayed with makeup? Sounds like something I would do (pink cupcakes/pink champagne at The Ultimate Makeover).

Moving on…now that I’ve moved into Business Development with Sindulge I’m always looking for new & innovative brands to showcase.

It’s perfect for the client who wants an all natural/organic makeup that also wants a fun line with vibrant pigments.

Back to the cupcakes…after I gobbled it up (not very lady like, I know but it was good). LA Pro Makeup Artist Kristina Cardwell asked if I would like a touch up. She obviously didn’t know what she was getting herself into. Yes, I was in full makeup but I never turn down an opportunity to take glam to the next level.

I closed my eyes and she went to town on my face, like I did the cupcake (LOL) but let me tell you. When she handed me the mirror…I looked good! Glam meets organic! Sounds pretty fabulous to me…

“The most highly natural pigmented all natural line I’ve worked with.” ~ LA Pro Makeup Artist Kristina Cardwell

If you’re in the market, this line might be down your alley. I’ll definitely have to share it with my girl Stacy Malkan with Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org. She’s always looking for lines that meet their guidelines. You know how I feel, it’s your choice.

Here’s what Makeup Artist Kristina Cardwell used on yours truly:

Benecos Quad from the spring 2012 line
Navy Eyeliner
Rose Garden Lipstick/Gloss

I forgot to mention Kristina gifted me a sample of Benecos Natural Creamy 2 in 1 Eye shadow Pencil in Purple Passion.

If you’d like to order Benecos visit: www.truenatural.com

If you’d like to see more looks by Kristina Cardwell visit: www.kristinamakeup.com

That’s it for now…until next time…

You can make up YOUR face BUT when you makeover YOUR mind YOU will transform your life!!!!

Love & Beauty,

“Beauty Maker’s: The #1 Way To Promote Your Biz…”

ungenitabeautyblog — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:34:18 +0000

If you are in the business of helping other people look and feel beautiful, there are people everywhere that want and need what you have to offer. Would you agree?

You must remember that you are in a people business. You have to connect with people in order to grow yourBeauty Maker’s Biz. So, why are you hanging out at home glued to the computer?

You see, the #1 way to promote your business is to get in front of people. “Connectivity Is The New Currency” so if you want to have a lot of business, you have to connect with a lot of people.

Do people in your community know what you do?

Have you taken the time to get to know your neighbors?

If you’re frustrated right now with your business, I have a fabulous assignment for you. I’d like you to get dolled up and find a networking event to attend in your local community.

If you’re saying…

I want more clients.

I want to make more money in my business.

I want to be known in my industry.

You have to get out of the house. You are a walking billboard for your business. Yes, attending an event is along term marketing strategy! In order to stay in business you have to market your business.

How do you get the biggest bang for your buck? Go to events with your preferred Joint Venture Partners.

But here’s the deal, the connection starts before you leave the house. That’s right you market before the event…

Go to the event site and see who’s going to be at the event and pick 5 key people that you’d like to connect with. Reach out to them via social media or emails, letting them know that you’re looking forward to connecting.

How beautiful does that sound?

When you go to the event you’ll already have a strategy. This will do wonders for your confidence. You did your homework and probably will have a lot more information and I’m certain it will increase your visibility and productivity at the event.

You can stop by their table and let them know you went to their site, liked their Facebook page, sent an email or followed them on Twitter. First steps in Sales Know-Like-Trust! You’ll already have a rapport.

If you haven’t made a connection and you’re meeting them for the first time, show interest and see how you can be of value to them. Pull versus Push marketing… I emphasize collecting cards so you can follow up. What you do after the event can change the destiny of your business!

I believe in Joint Venture Partnerships. It’s the reason my business has quadrupled. 3 Solid Joint Ventures can lead to consistent work and consistent deposits in your bank account!

Quick Clue:

Find those that share your target audience, are consistently marketing their business, and you like. It’s a partnership and you want to make sure it aligns with your brand image as well!

Quality versus quantity!

You can “Be You For A Living” when you make the right connections!

Classic Lines

ungenitabeautyblog — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:29:55 +0000

By: Ungenita Katrina Prevost

Ladies, if I were to ask you, do you know what a ”Pick Up Line“ is? You’d probably roll your eyes and say yes. BUT, what if I asked you, what is a “Classic Line“? You’d probably think about the designer suit in your closet or simple tailored lines in fashion that never go out of season, a classic suit!

I love a classic suit just as much as the next Fashionista but my job doesn’t necessarily require me to wear a suit. Where am I going with this? You see, in business it may not be mandatory to wear ”Classic Lines“ but you have to use “Classic Lines” to ask for what you want. You heard the famous phrase: Ask and it is given! There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. You have to ask the right questions to get what you want! As a fierce and fabulous female entrepreneur, it’s imperative to the growth of your business, to use “Classic Lines”.

Here are 3 of my all time favorite “Classic Lines”!

Are you open to hear how I can help you?

When would you like to get started?

How would you like to pay?

Why are women so afraid to ask for what they want?

Why are women so afraid to ask people to buy their product or service?

You see men have been using lines for years. They use lines to ask us out and they use lines to ask for money. Men aren’t afraid to ask for what they want. Would you go out on a date with me? Are you interested in looking at my business proposal? They are so comfortable and they’re not worried about what other people think. They are focused on the end result…going out on a date [OR] getting paid.

Some women have closed multi-million dollar deals for other companies but fail to bring that same level of tenacity to their own business. Asking for $100.00 can seem like a monumental task for some. I experienced this a little in the beginning of my service based business. I had to remind myself that I’d been selling for others my whole life. I sold Girl Scout cookies, chocolate, raffle tickets, jewelry, clothes, makeup, skin care products, vitamins and supplements.

If you’re not sold, how can you expect anyone else to buy? Think about everything you sold for someone else. Now, practice using “Classic Lines” to sell yourself!

What stops most women in my opinion are Value And Self Worth! The more you value your product and services, the easier it will be to sell and align with the customers/clients who will gladly pay you. When you increase your Self Worth; you’ll realize you deserve to get paid. You’ll know you’re worth it!

Here’s a quick exercise…

Write out 5 “Classic Lines” that fit nicely with your business model. Commit to using your “Classic Lines” everyday. Practice makes permanent!

Fashion This…

Your confidence will soar

You will attract more clients

You will make more money

You will get to do what you love

You will be independent

Remember “Classic Lines” never go out of season! It’s your life, wear it well!

What does L’Oreal Paris have to do with YOUR Bank Account?

ungenitabeautyblog — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:00:01 +0000

“Secrets from a Former L’Oreal Marketing Expert on How to Become a Powerful Money Magnet in Your Beauty Biz”

Money, Money, Money….

Why am I talking about it????????

It touches everything you do. In fact, it’s the #1 factor in nearly every decision YOU make. What you eat for breakfast. Where you live. What kind of car you drive. What you do with your free time. Even the clothes you wear.

Which is why, as female entrepreneurs, we have to deal with our money issues.

That’s right, it’s time to deal with the ugly stuff YOU have around money!

Wouldn’t it be incredible to:

Ask for money without your voice trembling (or apologizing!)?
Raise your prices—no matter the economy?
Make wise money decisions with total confidence?
Get out of debt, pay off your bills & massively grow your savings?
Keep more of every single dollar you make?
Live an incredibly rich life where you chose how to live and what you’d like to do (without money deciding for you)?

Then, would you agree YOU want help finding out how to make all those things actually happen for YOU and YOUR business?

All those outcomes have their roots in money. What you think about it. Whether you believe there’s a shortage of it– or there’s plenty of it to go around. How you treat, care for, and respect the cash you’ve got (or how to start).

It’s a lot to navigate. Which is why I’m thrilled to turn you on to a woman who knows
a thing or two about making it big in the beauty industry and building a massive
bank account, Monica Shah.

Monica has her MBA, worked for one of the largest cosmetics companies in the world and coaches other women business owners on business foundations. She’s put together a f.ree class this month that will make it easy for you to get a handle on YOUR money stuff:

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

This f.ree call gives you practical, straightforward ways to make money decisions, raise your rates, find clients who will gladly pay you top dollar, and a whole lot more.

I want YOU to deal with the ugly stuff surrounding money.

F.ree YOUR Mind!

Please be on the call. YOU will be glad you did and your bank account will be too!

Here’s to being Pretty & Paid Too!!!!!!!!

Sleeping Beauty

ungenitabeautyblog — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:18:21 +0000

You probably think I’m going to talk about how many hours of sleep you need to get every night. Not the case, because I know if you’re a female entrepreneur, you probably stayed up far more hours than you’d like to admit to. I know I have, but for the love of my business, I’m okay with that. I think there are nights, you’ll have to stay up late and modeling sleeping beauty is not an option. But, sleeping patterns are important when it comes to your business.

Why?

You have to know what keeps your clients up at night. When I entered the world of marketing, I was asked to answer the following question.

Do you know what keeps your clients up all night?

Put yourself in your clients/customers shoes…
What are they agonizing over?
What are they pulling their hair out about?
What is bringing tears to their eyes?
What is robbing them of their joy?

They have problems that are keeping them from a good night’s sleep and you’re the person that can actually help them solve their problem. Sounds simple right? Well, I think by seeing yourself as a problem solver versus a Hair Stylist, Life Coach, Fashion Designer, Makeup Artist, Image Consultant, Esthetician, Beauty Expert etc. you will start to make core connections with prospects and your closing ratios will increase.

Your ultimate goal is to help your client become a sleeping beauty! I won’t get into the benefits of sleep but you can help her (or him for that matter) because you have the solution to the thing that’s wrecking their sleep!

Here’s a list of some of the top sleep wreckers in the world:

I need more money
I need a new job.
I need to get more organized.
I need to find more time.
I need to reduce stress, stop worrying
I need to lose weight. I need to improve my health
I need to find a relationship.
I need a new wardrobe.
I need style.
I need to learn how to cook
I need to clear my skin.
I need to cut my hair.
I need to take better care of my hair.
I need a new hair do.
I need to look more youthful.
I need to look good.
I need to dress better.
I need to look good in my photos.
I need to find makeup that works on my skin

What I’d like you to do, pick 3-5 sleep wreckers and begin to design your “pretty pitch” and your marketing messages around them. When you identify, what they need, what’s keeping them up at night; you can openly communicate online-offline more effectively. When you convey the result and the benefits of working with you, you will have more clients/customers coming to YOU. Chances are they want to be a sleeping beauty inside/out!

Peaceful Sleep…Peaceful Life!!!!!!!

More business means you will become a Sleeping Beauty Too!

In Loving Memory of Whitney Houston

ungenitabeautyblog — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:00:32 +0000

An Amazing Body of Work…415 Awards, 2 Emmys, 6 Grammys, 22 AMAs, 30 Billboard Awards & sold 300,000,000. R.I.P Whitney Houston

She will always be my favorite. I remember watching her on MTV in my teens…She was so beautiful, so talented and her life appeared so perfect. I know I wasn’t the only little girl that dreamt of standing on stage in front of 10,000 people, dressed in couture from head to toe and belting out a tune worthy of a standing ovation. When I heard she died…I immediately thought… Why? What’s the lesson? What can we all learn from this?

Use your gifts & step out onto the world stage!
Conquer your mind & do the inner work!
You can inspire others but also inspire yourself!
Surround yourself with people that will tell you the truth!
Live everyday as if it were your last!
Follow your heart AND profit from your passion!
Be good to YOU!
When you fall…pick yourself up FAST and get back on track!
Commit to being a better person EVERYDAY!
Smile, laugh and strive for inner peace!

On Sunday VH1 showcased Whitney Houston’s videos. While listening to “Greatest Love Of All” the lyrics stopped me in my tracks. I’ve heard the song a million times but this time those words had a whole new meaning.

Inner Beauty
Independence
Belief
Self Love
Strength

Read them again and tell me what you think!

“Greatest Love Of All” Song By: Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Ungenita Reviews Bioken Enfanti Hair Care Products

ungenitabeautyblog — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:16:30 +0000

Hair It Is!!!!!!!!

I normally don’t talk about my hair or should I say what’s going on underneath the weave but after washing my hair on Wednesday morning with one of my favorite Shampoo and Conditioners, I thought it was time to share this product with you.

Several months ago I received Bioken Enfanti Hair Care for review. I’m sure you have seen Bioken in your local salon, or beauty supply. The advertisements always caught my eye, but this was my first actual experience using any. And I am sold on the line! It’s officially part of my hair regimen.

You have to take extra care of your hair when wearing weaves or extensions. Say good-bye to kinky hair! Bioken Enfanti Hydrating Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment are wonderful for my natural hair. My hair is healthier, shinier and more manageable. I am partial to products that smell amazing. You’ll love the fresh scent. If you want your beauty “Green”. This product gives professional salon results without harmful chemicals. Enfanti is paraben free and sulfate free.

They offer a series of products to solve every “bad hair day” dilemma. I see “Head To Toe Beauty” in your future!

For more information about the full Bioken line visit http://www.thebioken.com/

*** Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

Failing Is Fabulous

ungenitabeautyblog — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:13:35 +0000

So what if something you worked on flopped.
So what if you’ve fallen down.
So what if you failed.

If you have never failed before then you probably have not tried very hard to succeed. Do you yearn to experience victory? Fear of failure is what keeps so many entrepreneurs from taking the bigger risks needed to succeed.

I applaud you if you’ve failed. Yes, I said it, because it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve failed. If you failed a hundred times or a thousand times- get ready to fail forward.

You see successful people fail more than unsuccessful people. Look around at some of the most successful entrepreneurs and you’ll see they experienced their share of business bloopers and blunders before they conquered their chosen venture. They succeeded because they developed courage and tenacity to face their fears with undying resilience. They knew how to fall hard and get up fast. Do you?

On your mark, get set, go! I think people for the most part run from failure. They are so afraid to fail. It stifles them and they allow the failure to hold them hostage. They won’t try anything new, they refuse to step outside their comfort zone and they continue to talk themselves out of doing things and my all time favorite-they can always tell you why something won’t work. Remember, if something doesn’t work out the way you want it to, it’s a lesson that’s worth its weight in platinum. Your failures guide you and propel you to success. Pretty fabulous!

You’ve heard the saying, if at first you don’t succeed, try again. When I don’t get the results I want. I immediately look for the lesson and ask myself, What can I learn from this experience? But, I continue to expect something great to happen no matter what. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve “Failed” and I see a direct correlationbetween something that didn’t work in the past, is now the reason something is working in the future.

Failing is fabulous!

Be one of the successful people that fail more than unsuccessful people.

Your failures will teach you what not to do and should be used as ammunition to find the path that will undoubtedly lead to your success. All you have to do is pay attention and learn to course correct for a smooth landing.

The next time you fail, know that it can’t stop YOU from being fabulous!
