DuWop – Venom Gloss

ummm…yea. I am definitely not the ideal target market demographic for this product. Although…I do kind of like the fact that the colors from the DuWop Venom Gloss line has named it’s colors after various naturally poisonous plants/flowers lol. Here is how it works: Cinnamon, wintergreen, and ginger cause blood to rush to the surface of the lips, making them flush and swell – but be prepared for the sting-factor!!

Personally, I find it to be annoyingly unpleasant…but if I had thin lips then I might actually attempt to suffer with the discomfort. I dunno. Staci was wearing it the last time I saw her and it actually looked really nice on her – glossy plasticy looking lips, but she did mention that she was burning on the way out the door LOL!!! For you lip-plumper addicts, and I know you are out there – here is a free gwp for the VenomGloss at ELuxury from me to you…minus any sting!

DermaDoctor – OMG!

I swapped for a tube of the DermaDoctor Wrinkle Revenge cleanser which does have some glycolic acid in it but has super minimal sting (unlike the hardcore stingy-ness of previous reviews on facials w/ GA and Murad’s Vit.C facial – Ouch!!!) on MAU and I am SOLD on it’s non -stingy get your face uber clean qualities! After being super curious of the DermaDoctor stuff, I also purchased the microfiber hair towel which is way lighter for your head than a regular bath towel, better for your hair, easy to travel with AND will actually take out alot of the moisture so that you can go straight to blow drying – or slick it into a pony – as I tend to do most of the summer.

Anywhoo – here is a quicklink to some of my hand-picked future purchases from DermaDoc – hook it up!!

Spa Sanctuary ~ Granada Hills

I finally had a saturday free of mom-duty…so off I went to Spa Sanctuary in Granada Hills I had meaning to visit this particular place for over a year, or rather, ever since I was getting their snail-mail spam. And I am SO glad I went! It sits on the corner of a grocery store market with super easy parking and a nice little get away right in the valley. There’s a salon which takes up half of the space, and the spa area is actually behind closed doors so it truly is quiet.

Although getting a facial is probably my least favorite spa experience, I DO realize that it probably is one of the more important ones, especially as I get (just a little bit) older. My esthetician was cute and bubbly and did a fabulous job …and without any product pushing or pressure buying like the chick at Burke Williams put me through…so yea. Spa Sanctuary kicks ass.

Oh yea, and did I mention that they have a small boutique adjacent to the reception area selling “Designer Inspired” handbags…? Funny!

Check them out in the Valley woot woot!

MesoTherapy Results from session 2

ok so last week I went in for my measurements & my third session of 8 with Dr. Marks and omg I recorded an 8.25 inch loss in my mid-section. I have lost almost a whole pants size and am feeling so good & curvy – almost like I was 25 again…almost. Session 3 wasn’t even as painful as the 2nd session, however I did scale my appointments back from every 2 weeks to every 3 weeks so that I could have an extra week of recovery in there. The bruising was worse on session 3, but the swelling was the most minimal too – as it was the least painful of the 3 thusfar.

No one has really said anything so far, but I totally don’t care – my pants are falling off and I feel fabulous! Session 4 is next week and I will post the results from this past 3rd session next week too. By the way – Dr. Marks is now online!!! Tell him Sylvia sent you from Spa-view.com!
