JolieMD Metamorphosis

So my good friend Nadine Jolie recently joined forces with Dr. Peyman Solieman and Dr. Jason Litner, Beverly Hills plastic surgeons, to create an amazing product line – JolieMD Metamorphosis.  Obviously, I was given samples of the product to test out and I had no doubt that I would absolutely love this set.  Everything Nadine Jolie does is guaranteed to be 120% amazing, as she’s one of the smartest, most hard-working girls that I’ve ever met!  But I digress, back to the product line.  JolieMD Metamorphosis works to even pigmentation, reduce redness and diminish fine lines and wrinkles, all while helping to prevent new discoloration that car arise as a result of acne, inflammation and sun damage.  This unique, 2-step system uses the following products to maximize results:

Step 1: Metamorphosis Softening Serum – an innovative, slow-release alpha-beta-poly hydroxyl acid formulation that gently exfoliates and brightens skin while softening wrinkles and reducing acne for a radiant, healthy complexion.

Step 2: Metamorphosis Enlightening Lotion – a unique, soothing blend of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and melanin-inhibitors that calms the triggers of acne and discoloration to create vibrant, glowing skin.

The Serum and Lotion are sold together, and retail for $96.  The product is available at JolieMD.com and make sure to follow them on Twitter!

Purple Lab on HSN!

I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in Purple Lab’s “Girls Night In” in honor of Purple Lab’s debut on HSN!  BIG news- HUGE for the amazing brand and I was thrilled to be involved.  After receiving my “party in a box,” I was super excited to have my friend’s over for the 11pm show this past Friday and then, after trying out the products, I was even more excited for Karen and her fabulous brand.  If you’re not familiar, Karen is a well-known New York writer and an all around inspiring person.  You can read the full story on Purple Lab here but in the mean time, you NEED to start shopping.  My favorite?  Well besides the original product, Huge Lips Skinny Hips, my new favorite is Cheek Implants.  I’m not really a regular blush girl since my face is usually just a little bit rosey naturally BUT this blush ROCKS.  It’s inspired by runway looks and glides across the skin while plumping, lifting and enhancing cheek bones.  Sign me up.
