Long time popular product line JOEY NEW YORK® introduces a brand new Quick Results™ collection of “beauty must-have” products that feature the hydrating, healthy, and youth inspiring Coconut Water !

JOEY NEW YORK has had a following for some time, and I must admit that I used many of Joey’s innovative products in the past, and have always been a JOEY NEW YORK admirer! When I received information that there was an opportunity for me to try some of the new, “Joey”, state-of-the-art Quick Results™ products being introduced and created around the healthful and vitamin/mineral rich Coconut Water, I was “on-board” in a “New York Second”!

Being aware of some of the health benefits from coconut since I’ve incorporated Coconut Milk into my daily diet routine, I was curious about the use of Coconut Water in beauty products. Information I read about Coconut Water said,”the replenishing youth elixir, young tender Coconut Water, was rich in essential vitamins, balancing minerals, age thwarting antioxidants, firming protein, and it’s pure essence deeply cleansed skin and restored a healthy, youthful glow.” After reading that I couldn’t wait till my products arrived!

Here are the two products I received:
#1-JOEY NEW YORK, Quick Results™ – Bye Bye Blackheads – Gentle Peel Cleanser & Shredded Coconut Scrub!

Bye Bye Blackheads –
Gentle Peel Cleanser & Coconut Scrub ($22)

Bye Bye Blackheads, is packaged in a nice sized 6 ounce tube! The scent is clean and fresh, and it applies very easily. True to the packaging information it is a very gentle peel, and did not irritate my skin at all. I followed the instructions and put a “splash of water on my face before I applied the mask. I could feel the “encapsulated anti-aging” beads very softly disperse as I gently massaged the mask over my face (avoiding my eye area) and then rinsed as directed. The product removed very easily, and there was absolutely no feel of any residue left on my face.

My skin looked and felt great! It had a healthy glow and felt very clean without any dryness! Since I really don’t have black heads anymore, but I do have larger pores, this was the perfect application technique for me, and my pores did look less visible after using the product! Using this method of application, the directions say, “it can be used daily as a gentle cleansing exfoliant.” What a refreshing way to wake up your “face” each morning!

If you do have blackheads, or are looking for a deeper exfoliation, all you have to do ,according to the directions, is massage the “Gentle Peel Cleanser on dry skin” then rinse with water. If you are going to use this method of application, it’s suggested that you do so one, to two times’s weekly.

Bye Bye Blackheads”contains Green Coconut Water to nourish your skin, Lemon Peel Extract to even your color, Coconut Shreds to gently exfoliate, and those wonderful encapsulated anti-aging beads that dissolve on your skin and give a nice glow to your complexion.”
Whatever needs your skin may have, you have lots of versatility with this cleanser/peel, and your benefits will be consistent thoroughly clean skin, and smaller appearing pores!

#2- JOEY NEW YORK, Quick Results™ – Bye Bye Dry – Chill Mist for Face, Body and Hair!

Bye Bye Dry ~ Chill Mist for Face, Body & Hair ($18)

Bye Bye Dry – Chill Mist for Face, Body & Hair ($18)

Bye Bye Dry-Chill Mist, also comes in a very generous sized 7-ounce spray container. It tucks nicely into your a hand bag, or tote, and I’m never without it! You’d be surprised what a wonderful “Pick me up” that Chill Mist will provide throughout the day, and the hydration that the “Young Green Tender Coconut Water filled with Potent Antioxidants and Essential Minerals will impart “! It keeps your skin hydrated, and looking amazingly alive and moist! Use it on your body and hair as well, and enjoy the same wonderful benefits! I actually have wavy hair and often, just to “perk up” my style, I’ll “spritz” a small amount of Chill Mist over my hair to refresh the look!

By the way, you can put your Chill Mist in the refrigerator, and literally experience an invigorating “CHILL MIST”, especially during the “soon to arrive” hot summer weather.

Finally, I don’t want to forget the great aroma. I received my Chill Mist in the “Natural Paradise Scent”, and believe me, while you’re hydrating your skin it’s always nice to be able to savor a few moments enjoying the relaxing aromatherapy effects of your Chill Mist Spray !

Unknown-56

When shopping for your  evo products at evohair.com, consider a gift from their unique hair care line. Evo has a vast array of products to offer and their wesite is fun and easy to navigate. Once you pick you product, for example “hair”, you then choose your “need”, I chose “curly hair” and I had a few options to choose from. I chose liquid rollers curl balm.

liquid rollers curl balm was the perfect choice for me. Recommended for those with curly or frizzy hair, the balm is applied to damp hair and will hold your curls while protecting against frizz. end doctor smoothing sealant was also recommended in the curly hair line. end doctor, a smoothing sealant, can be applied to damp or dry hair and I especially like that it is a leave trearment. end doctor helps to mend broken strands and protects the hair from heat and uv damage. end doctor was just what evo ordered for my hair type and they couldn’t be more RIGHT!

Evo has a hair care produt for every hair type. If you have dry, frizzy or color treated hair, take it from me, the therapist calming shampoo and conditioner is what you need. Your hair will be cleansed, moisturized and looking fantastic! easy tiger smoothing fluid with help smooth, straighten and calm those flyaways that often have your hair looking untidy.

You will be amazed at the product line and what evo has to offer. You will find products for your hair, face, body, tools, travel and fabuloso. If you want to know what fabuloso is you will have to go to http://evohair.com/au/products/fabuloso

Celine Dion’s new Fragrance is SENSATIONAL

images-11

Singing the lyrics of Titanic, “My Heart Will Go On”, I decided to try Sensational. Sensational Eau de Toilette Spray is a dynamic floral fragrance by the famous Las Vegas ballad, Celine Dion, created by the famous perfumer Maurice Roucel. This perfume evokes the power and magnetic charisma of Celine Dion herself. Top notes consist of icy pear, crisp apple and plum with a heart of are orris, mimosa (Dion’s favorite flower) jasmine and freesia, with base notes of elegant amber, musk and sandalwood which makes a very fresh, bright combination.  It has a very light, floral scent that is not overpowering but lasts all day. With such a diverse collection of ingredients, Celine Dion Sensational is a special “everyday” scent, sweet, subtle, and feminine, perfect  for a casual day, to wear at school, work or any occasion.  The 2008  perfume launch coincided with Celine Dion’s tour called Taking Chances.  A wonderful Mother’s Day present because this icon touches the soul of many women, not only with her captivating voice but now with her fragrances!
