What is Beauty?

Being apart of the Face of Pink in Contest for me was more than your typcial 'beauty contest' where 'beauty' is defined by how you look in an evening gown and bathing suit while doing some 'talent' in front of judges ~ it was about helping to redefine how we see beauty in our culture beyond the typical unattainable 'Photoshopped' images we see in the media!

The Face of Pink Ink contest  for me was about empowering women to see the beauty within themselves and it was about supporting other women to take risks and put themselves out there a chance to be pampered and spoiled and treated like a Queen for the Day ~ to experience the life of a 'model' or 'superstar' for just a moment with a personal shopper choosing clothes and jewellery and having your hair and make up done by professionals!  So while there may only be 3 women chosen to represent Pink Ink as the next Face of Pink Ink this year ~ in my opinion we are ALL winners for having had the experience!

For me entering something like this was about pushing myself outside my comfort zone, finding my inner courage and self confidence to take a risk with putting myself 'out there' to be on display as a potential centre of attention when for so long i have been content to blend into the background the quiet 'support' that lifts others up into the spotlight! This experience  was about being empowered to show the world that YES I am BEAUTIFUL on the inside and out and to step outisde my normal 'suit of armor' I present myself to the world ~ to have fun with hair and make up and be daring in trying a new look that shows the personality from within!

As part of the contest particpants had to share in 150 works or less what 'beauty' means to them. This is my entry ....

"Beauty is the emotion that radiates out from within – beauty can be breath taking or it can be subtle sense of warmth that just surrounds you! The beauty in things overflows into the hearts of others making them better for the experience. Everyday it is the piece of art a person creates upon waking to share with the world.

One’s style is not about vanity but about self-expression. Sometimes we dress so the world will see us in all our glory and sometimes we dress in a virtual suit of armor to protect our self from the world. Our sense of style says so much about what is going on with a person. Our outer self is the canvas and how we choose to paint it represents the feelings or sense of self from inside that we want to express! Beauty is from within!"

The contest is coming to a close this week ~ so if you have not already done so can you take a minute and click 'like' on the following albums below and help me out with my dream to push myself even more this year and into 2015 and to give me a chance work closely with Jen and Rita who are truly remarkably empowering women ~ it would be truly appreciated!

Than if you have another moment take a peek at all the other lovely entrants and ‘like’ the definitions of beauty and photos that speak to you too because there are some amazing ladies alongside me in this empowerment program!

Live your Dream!

If you'd asked me a year ago where I envisioned myself being this time next year ~ the last thing I would have expected to say was 'earning my first raise as an Aloette Beauty Consultant' but yet here I am! Aloette has allowed me to live a dream I did not even know I had!

In addition to the flexible hours, the amazing compensation plan that allows me to work as little or as much as I want with no 'quotas' and life time discount, the chance  to EARN all expense paid trips each year for myself and my spouse I also get to earn all that while doing what I love ~ spending time with amazing women being pampered and engaging in self care, laughing and re-connecting. Finding that balance in our often stressful active lives is empowering ~ getting PAID to do all that is a blessing!

As if that were not enough ~ I have also gained self confidence, courage to step outside my comfort zone and try new things and a strong desire to LIVE MY DREAM in so many ways!  I have gone from being a shy introvert, who when in a large group of unknown people would hide at the back and be looking for the first excuse to exit without being noticed, to standing on a stage full of women to share my story and actually enjoying the powerful energy it created, to entering a 'Beauty / Empowerment Contest' as part of the Face of Pink Ink  Plus next I am going to be an 'extra fluffy model' in the upcoming Ladies Night Out ~ Red Carpet Gala being sponsored by the London Mompreneurs ~ all thanks to the confidence that Aloette has given me to look at 'beauty' in a new way!



If you are craving change in your life, looking for a way to increase your household income working part time around your own schedule I highly recommend trying Aloette ... a NO RISK opportunity that offers great return on your investment whether you are looking for a short term solution or a long term solution it is an amazing company to be a part of!

To learn more ~ see our opportunity video! Give me a shout and I would love to discuss your options with you!

Pink Ink Skicare Comparison Chart ~ great resource!

A few months back the lovely ladies at Pink Ink started a skincare love blog series where they talked about what 'good skincare' entails. You can view the start of the blog series here.

Cole's Notes version is based on Pink Ink experience and research a good skincare regime recommends you cleanse daily morning and evening, that you exfoliate regularly depending on skintype, freshen or tone your skin daily morning and evening, moisturize daily morning and evening and finally protect your skin from the damage of the sun.

They than reviewed Mary Kay, Seacret, Luminesce, Arbonne, Aloette, Enjo and Skincerity  to see the results of these products on their skin during the trial period and gave readers feedback on the pros and cons. In the final installment they compared how the various lines met that criteria as well as their effectivenss at doing so, the value for ones budget and the ease of finding the ingredients on the packaging and so forth and created the cool little infographic based on their experience in their final blog entry "who sells the best skincare products" which can be read in its entirty here.

This is what they had to say about Aloette on their blog:

What everyone should know about Aloette - Well, as the name indicates it is made with Aloe!!!  Aloe is actually the number 1, 2, or 3 ingredient in the products in the skin care line (if you look on the ingredients list of any product, the first listed product is the primary ingredient, the second listed is the secondary product etc...)  We spoke with a representative from Aloette and did some research.  We found out that Aloette's aloe based delivery system allows it to be categorized  as a medical grade skin care line as opposed to a cosmetic skin care line.  The aloe in combination with other natural ingredients has properties to replenish, renew and repair damaged skin!
The other interesting fact that you should know is that Aloette features a "farm to jar" philosophy, meaning that they grow their own Aloe Vera specifically for their products.  It is certified organic, paraben free and clinically shown to be three to ten times more potent than any other traditionally grown Aloe on the market - NICE!!
So if you read our last blog you know our feelings about companies saying that they are organic or natural.  Although there are quite a few ingredients in th eAloette product line, the first, second or third ingredient IS ALOE.  This is a really good thing.  Why?  Aloe has been cited as an amazing healing agent for the skin.  Many use pure aloe to help heal topical burns.  Aloe Vera also speeds the recovery of skin wounds and stimulates cellular rejuvenation.  Again - NICE.
Let's look at the products in the Aloette Aloepure skin care line.

Aloe Pure 8pc Skincare Line

 

Gentle Foaming Cleanser - This cleanser gently removes oils and impurities while restoring the skin's natural moisture balance.  It has chamomile and green tea extracts for a clean feeling and aloe vera (of course) to soothe irritation. 

  We tried this cleanser and loved it!!!  After using it, our skin did not feel tight but more refreshed and clean.  We both used the cleanser with a cloth for optimal cleansing.  We also noticed a citrus smell to this cleanser.  Retails:  $22
Essential Cleansing Oil -  So although this product has various oils in it's ingredient list (safflower, evening primrose, sunflower seed and avacado) it is not oily!  It cleanses and removes makeup amazingly well while plumping lashes and leaving skin refreshed.  The product is water soluble, does not leave a residue and moisturizes the skin as it cleanses!!  You use this product in the evening while using the gentle foaming cleanser in the morning.  LUV this product.  Truly loved it, truly works, truly love.  Did we say we love this product yet?  Retails $23.50 

Skin Refining Toner - After cleansing, the skin refining toner is used to remove any remaining traces of makeup, dead surface cells and any pore clogging impurities.  It does this without drying the skin.  It has ingredients to nourish the skin.

We honestly felt that this toner definitely helps to refine pores and leaves the skin feeling that much cleaner after cleansing.
Retail:  $21.00

Time Repair anti-wrinkle serum - Serums absorb past the first layer of skin and when fortified with vitamins and healing properties, will repair damage and protect new skin.  This particular serum reportedly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  How?  Let's explain the real cause of wrinkles.  Lack of moisture can cause skin to wrinkle like a prune.  A build up of dead skin cells on the skin's surface can cause shadows on the skin making it appear like you have deep wrinkles.  So when you add moisture, vitamins, aloe vera and certain types of acids (alpha and beta hydroxy acids) together on your skin you are accomplishing the goal of diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloette's Time Repair Serum is formulated for all skin types, non irritating, and is lightweight which absorbs quickly into the skin.
After using this product, I can not say I've seen diminishment in the appearance of any fine lines and wrinkles BUT I have seen a difference in the texture of my skin and my skin feels so smooth!
Retails:  $50

Nutri C Moisture Creme - I love when I use a moisturizer and my skin feels like it's taking a tall drink of water.  This moisturizer hydrated and did not feel greasy at all.  It soaked into my skin within seconds of application.  Love it.
Retails:  $25      

Nutri Hydrating Mist - It is truly a mist that you spray on when you complete the above steps.  Leaves skin hydrated and fresh.  It has vitamins A, E, C and B5 complex that work to increase cell regeneration and reduce visible signs of aging.  The aloe vera and silk amino acids increase the skin's moisture levels and is good for all skin types!  Very nice product - very nice!!
Retails:  $24

Pink Ink's thoughts:  The Aloette product is wonderful.  It is nourishing, hydrating and definitely has improved the texture of our skin.  The one downfall is that there are so many steps!  The nice thing is that after a few days of using the products, you get accustomed to the steps and it does not take long.  Loving the Aloette - Pink Ink approved!

View the blog post in it's entirety here!

I just love the honest and unbiased review they have done on the lines they experienced ... in my experience it is so true that there are many amazing products on the market and everyone's skincare experience is unique. As a result what one person may find works well another person can get even better results with another line. I myself tried many different lines before finding the amazing results I have with Aloette for my sensitive and challenging skin to truly get not just clean skin but skin that is replenished, renewed and REPAIRED which was my goal.

I did want to point out that while you can buy the pieces reviewed 'individually', for the cost quoted above for the 5 preferred pieces they enjoyed, there are several skincare lines available in Aloette depending on your budget and the results you want to see. When you bundle into one of our Value Packages you can see even more significant savings to get you the best results for the best price! 

 

Plus I promise that while yes there are 8 amazing products in the total skincare line to ensure you get those amazing healing results it honestly takes only 3 minutes in the morning and in the evening to complete all the steps they are quick and easy AND if you are concerned you might be overwhelmed you have your consultant available to answer questions and give you tips and tools on how to remember ~ I personally loved that Jennifer my consultant suggested when I starting out to buy pretty basket for on my vanity and take a sharpie and write on products 1, 2, 3 and so forth to help me remember the best order for the best results ... AND she made a pact with me to use them daily for 28 days faithfully so I had a little calendar I would 'check off' that I had done it to create my new habit of investing in myself and my skin ~ easy peasy and now i cannot imagine 'forgetting' to wash my face.

Also the products lasting 3-4 months is a VERY conservative time line depending on the product and how much you use ... with Aloette a little can go a very long way and still get you amazing results. So for example I go through more of my morning cleanser and Hydrating mist because I use it on more of my body than just my 'face' so am more likely to relace those every 3-4 months however my other products in my line I have been able to see more of a 6 -9 months use from such as my anti-aging serums I am currently heading into month 10 and still have a few more applications in there. Aloette really does give a lot of VALUE for the amazing healing results that you can see from our product line.

If you are in the London Ontario area and would like a personal skincare consultation to see how you Aloette can get you amazing results for your skin too please give me a shout via email or phone and I would love to let you try before you buy.

Some of our recommended products for those nights where you missed your beauty rest cause you pulled an all nighter getting that  report done for the morning OR may the baby kept you up OR manybe your spouse was snoring and you just did not get the 8 hours you need to minimize those puffy eyes on their own:

Line Control Eye Gel: Fight stubborn eye lines, wrinkles and sagging, puffy under eye skin with this hydrating, anti-aging eye gel. Enriched with vitamins A and E, chitin and passionflower extract, Line Control Eye Gel delivers on-point plumping hydration to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles and firm up the delicate skin around the eyes. And with the addition of actiphytes and bioactives, dark circles and under eye puffiness are immediately diminished.

 Look Alive: Brighten away unsightly under eye dark circles with Look Alive Eye Base. Combining light-reflective mica with sun-shielding zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and antioxidants green tea and glutathione, this eye shadow base and brightening powder highlights the delicate skin around the eyes to diminish the look of dark circles and under eye shadows. Give a boost of radiance to tired looking eyes “in less than five” with Look Alive Eye Base!   

Conceal Away Duo: Using a unique, light-diffusing, silicone-based formula, Aloette’s Conceal-Away Duo is the perfect quick fix for unsightly dark circles, wrinkles and skin imperfections. Enriched with vitamins E and A to help protect and hydrate the skin, the two shades of this lightweight concealer can be blended for appropriate color and coverage. Use the lighter shade to offset dark circles and the darker color to conceal blemishes, fine lines and facial imperfections.

Or my absolute favorite for improving signs of lines and wrinkles around the eyes ... our Line Relief Concentrate!

Line Relief Concentrate is Aloette's natural alternative to cosmetic injections. The result of years of clinical testing, this unique anti-aging serum utilizes an incredibly lightweight bio-active peptide capable of penetrating deep within the skin to reduce the look of wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Clinical tests showed a remarkable increase in hydration and moisturization, a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles and increased firmness and elasticity. 0.5 oz/15 ml Independent clinical tests demonstrated dramatic results in less than one month: 28% reduction in lines and wrinkles. 20% increase in skin firmness and elasticity. 138% increase in skin hydration.
