LASH REHAB WITH JESSICA JOHNSON CONDITIONING SERUM

July 7, 2017

Thank you to my soul sister Charolette of Charolette’s Book for enlightening me to so many exciting brands and stories. She’s my major girl crush.

I had been searching for a lash serum to launch a major lash rehab campaign. After ten years of solid lash extension abuse – my lashes looked like I had been in a fire. One by one, my extensions fell out, and every time I made an appointment for a fill with my lash queen, Amanda, I kept cancelling because of schedule conflicts.

Finally, all my lashes were gone and I was left with stubs. For ten years, I have been so freaked out to look at myself sans lashes that I made it a point to get in to Amanda asap. But something told me, I needed to give what was left of my lashes a major break.

First up, I would need a hard-core lash growth and conditioning system. Lucky for me, my weekly email from Charolette was fresh in my in-box and what do you know…there before my very eyes was her high-rated pick, JESSICA JOHNSON Conditioning Serum ($110).

And, if you are still hooked on your extensions, it also helps keep lashes with extensions hydrated and strong and restores lashes after removing lashes.

I am only on week one but so far so good. I can’t wait to fill you in soon on my growth!

KEY INGREDIENTS

Known as the “beauty vitamin” a vital nutrient that promotes the growth of healthy, beautiful hair.

About Jessica:

Philosophy

We all know that clearing clutter in your life does wonders for your emotional well-being. The same is true when it comes to your beauty routine.

Our mission is to bring a sense of calm and serenity to women’s lives by creating fewer, better products that are multifunctional.

Using fewer products doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing quality and effectiveness. In fact, we’re confident your skin will never look or feel better.

25 Years in the Making

My love for the beauty industry started in 1986. While earning my degree from Sacramento State University, I worked as a makeup artist in print, television and for major cosmetic brands. After graduating I switched gears and went to work for the Governor of California. However, my passion for beauty drew me back to the industry. I went on to open two salons in San Francisco and launch my first product company, Bombshell Wax.

Seeking a simpler life, my husband and I moved to Maine to raise our family. Eventually, I began feeling overwhelmed by my responsibilities as a busy, working mother. Searching for a sense of calm and peace, I decided to clear the clutter out of my life. As I cleaned out my home, I gained clarity and felt more confident, focused and energetic. I decided to apply this philosophy to my beauty regimen. I realized how good it felt to be free of a time consuming beauty routine that contributed to my cluttered, emotional space.

I wanted fewer products but I didn’t want to skimp on quality or effectiveness.This led me to create a brand that infuses the principles of a pared down, simplified lifestyle with effective, high quality, luxurious products.

The Velvet Rabbit – By Bronzed Bunny

June 15, 2017

 

What is the vajacial? Just what you’re thinking – a facial for your lady parts weather it’s a weekend getaway, surprise tinder date or a mellow night with bae, let Bronzed Bunny rejuvenate and brighten your bunny with their signature vajacial treatment called, The Velvet Rabbit.

Shaving is bad.

Ingrown hairs can be caused by a buildup of dead and dry skin. The vajacial is a revitalizing treatment done post Brazilian, sugaring (7 -10 days after for optimal results) where they use luxury product line {Epicuren} to cleanse the skin, exfoliate and a apply our hydrating mineral collagen mask under steam. The results brighten and rejuvenate the bikini area while treating and preventing future ingrown hairs, hyper-pigmentation and dryness.

Prepare for your vajacial with Bronzed Bunny’s other signature treatment, Sugaring is the safest and most gentle form of hair removal; that is even safe for certain skin conditions. They use organic sugar paste made of just water, sugar and lemon. The sugar ball is applied in the opposite direction of hair growth, while the sugar seeps into the hair follicle and wraps around the root, the paste is flicked off in the natural hair growth direction eliminating hair breakage and irritation. The sugar itself is a natural humectant which draws moisture into the skin, while naturally exfoliating dead and dry skin.

Over time, sugaring does lead to faster permeant hair reduction and noticeable growth depletion can be seen after just your first two sugaring services.
