Every Girl Loves an American Crew Man

American Crew Booth

Of course when you think American Crew you think of that well dressed, totally handsome man. Well, if that’s what you think then you are right. American Crew (celebrating it’s 20th birthday) has become known as the “Official Supplier to Men”. With the “disappearance” of the classic barbering techniques in the 80s and 90s, American Crew I on top of the game knowing “that men are back”. What that means is that men want to be “pampered” too and would rather go back to the barber instead of in a salon. It has really become the landmark in men’s grooming supplying stylist with products that every man will love.

While at Premiere Orlando, It’s a Glam Thing was asked to stop and talk to the American Crew booth. Their booth was amazing, their stylist just blew me away with their work with the clippers. Also while at the booth I got to see for my very first time a straight edge close shave performed by another one of their awesome stylists. You will find American Crew not only here in the U.S.A, but in many other countries around the globe.

Models for American Crew

While seeing their models on stage, I kind of felt like I was going back in time. Has anyone else noticed how styles that were popular by men in the 40s and 50s seem to be making their way into 2014? Now I have to admit, that “pompadour” look on a man is my absolute favorite. I think it makes them look very distinguished and just down right handsome. Now of course all the looks were modernized to fit the 21st century lol. With American Crew products such as their Hair and Body Care line and their Shaving Line, ladies you will not want to let go of your man. He will smell and look way to good.

American Crew Close Shave

I wish I had time to talk about all of the products but before I left their booth, I was given two products to try out and give a woman’s point of view on. Now your thinking, “What would a woman with a man’s hair product”? Well actually a lot of things. My hair is so thick and course that sometimes a regular hairspray will not do the trick for me. I was given two products, one is called The Alternator and the other was Nine a Fragrance. I will be posting videos about them from a woman’s point of view so stay tuned. In the mean time if you are interested in learning more and how you can find an American Crew salon near you simply visit www.americancrew.com

Love Your Eyes With Skinn Cosmetics

“The Enchanted” Eye Color Palette by Skinn Cosmetics

We all love makeup but sometimes it is hard to coordinate colors together. Over time I have learned to coordinate colors but sometimes I still have trouble and if your a makeup junkie like me you have no idea where to start sometimes. Also, it is hard to determine what colors would look best with your eye color, and shape. With all these things at “work” in makeup, I have turned to eye shadow palettes because the companies will put colors that go well together in the palette. I have had many palettes that I have loved in the past but none compare to the “The Enchanted” 6 eye color palette from Skinn Cosmetics by Dimitri James.

With “The Enchanted” eye palette you can customize your own look from natural to bold. The colors are extremely pigmented giving off awesome pops of color. My favorite pigment is the dark plum color. I love putting that on the focal point of my eye (the outer edge) and making it my eyeliner. With my blue eyes I feel that this color really accentuates the color of my eye and makes it look bigger. Now I just like bold but if your not into that the other colors in “The Enchanted” palette such as the matte colors are great for those that want a fresh natural look.

I knew I forgot to mention something. The palette also comes complete with 2 matte shades and 4 shimmer shades. Like I said one for ech person. What I like to do is use the matte skin tone color as my base and build from there. To me makeup is all about building. You can always add more but it is difficult to take away. So whether you are a beginner or a makeup whiz I highly suggest giving this palette a try and just play. It’s makeup so just have fun! For more info visit www.skinn.com

Experience Arbonne With Me

Arbonne International is a health and wellness company which has formulated many skin care lines. It was originally developed by Petter Morck who intended to provide skin care products unparalleled in quality and effectiveness. Petter, together with a group of leading bio-chemists, biologists and herbalists, fulfilled his vision and founded Arbonne in 1975 in Switzerland and then launched in the United Stated in 1982. The company continues to foster relationships with top MD’s and recently the Integrative medicine division of the Mayo Clinic. Arbonne formulas are based on botanical skin care principles and are formulated without animal products/by-products, parabens, gluten, formaldehyde donating preservatives, PABA or petrolatum based ingredients such as phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, benzene, toluene.

Arbonne 30+ sunscreen is unique because it contains plant botanicals that create a nurturing, jam-packed with antioxidants sunscreen. Not only do these antioxidants and anti aging ingredients help your skin remain youthful, these botanicals help offset the sun’s oxidating properties. Unlike many of its competitors, this sunscreen just melts into your skin and does not give even a glimmer of a grayish white film to the skin. Arbonne uses a combination of Natural and chemical sunscreens. Zinc is primarily the natural sunscreen ingredient because it works as a physical barrier on the skin. Chemical sunscreens, Oxybenzone and Avobenzone have also been added to enhance sun protection and are needed to give a sunscreen both UVA/UVB protection. All companies must follow this FDA Mandate. After many tests and research Oxybenzone and Avobenzone have been found to be the only true UVA blocker against Melanoma.

Arbonne Sunscreen

Arbonne also offers a 30+ sunscreen in their ABC baby line. This is not only great for kids, but also for adults who tend to burn more easily. Babies, men and women with even the most sensitive skin have been able apply this product without any reaction to the skin. The sunscreen glides on effortless and does not create a white paste on the skin.

Arbonne Baby Sunscreen

Lip Saver offers high 30+ sunscreen protection for your lips. It also includes anti aging ingredients to help moisturize your lips. Unlike many protective lip care chap sticks on the market, Arbonne does not use petroleum or mineral oil. These oils only dry out your lips and are highly toxic. It is like eating gasoline!

Garage Party Hosted by Harley Davidson

Garage Party Harley Davidson

Harley Davidson have created the Garage Party™ events are designed with women in mind and offer a fun, no-pressure introduction for non-riders who have little or no prior knowledge of motorcycles. Attendees will learn the basics, including motorcycle controls, bike fitment and what gear and apparel they need to get started and feel comfortable and confident on two wheels. Participating dealers also offer the JUMPSTART™ demo, a stationary test ride experience where women can swing a leg over a real Harley-Davidson® motorcycle, start its engine and learn how to shift through the gears. No riding experience necessary.

Garage Party By Harley Davidson

On Wednesday I was invited to participate in a Garage Party event and all I can say is that I spent the whole day gleaming! It was an exhilarating experience. Personally, I have never considered buying a Harley Davidson. I can say however, that after this experience I could easily envision a future with my own Harley Davidson parked in the garage. The Garage Party will take place in dealerships throughout the USA and each one will reflect the individual dealerships personality and style. Get ready ladies, this experience it is must!

Garage Party Harley Davidson

Harley-Davidson is the top-selling motorcycle brand among women in the U.S. Perhaps because more women are realizing the benefits of riding can extend to their daily lives, off the road. According to a study conducted by Kelton and commissioned by Harley-Davidson, women who ride a Harley Davidson tend to be happier, confident, less stressed and sexier. As explained by Claudia Garber; director of market outreach for Harley-Davidson,” What Harley Davidson thinks is really sexy is the strong, confident and happy woman. That is when sexy just starts to shine through!”

More Ways Life is Better on Two Wheels

According to the Harley-Davidson Women Riders Survey, the benefits of riding continue:

In work: More riders than non-riders (40% vs. 18%) feel extremely satisfied with their careers.
In the mirror: More than twice as many riders as non-riders (32% vs. 15%) agree that they feel beautiful daily.
In relationships: Women who ride are more content with communication with their significant other (60 percent of riders vs. 38 percent of non-riders) and physical intimacy (51 percent of riders vs. 35 percent of non-riders).
In spirit: More riders than non-riders (75% vs. 64%) usually feel content instead of worried, and almost a quarter (23%) of riders report that they rarely or never feel anxious.

Bumpy Arms Be Gone With Soap & Glory

With summer coming tank tops and short sleeve shirts will be in your wardrobe and sometimes the worst problem areas are on our arms. It seems no matter how many times we work out that part of our arms we still have those nice little bumps and no tone in our upper arms. Wouldn’t it be great if there was some miracle in a bottle that we could use to help smooth and tone those areas to get us summer ready?

Soap & Glory’s The Firminator

Fear not, for there is Soap & Glory’s Firminator Targeted Arm Toning & Smoothing Formula will get rid of those nasty bumpy arms. Now I have never been one to “follow the instructions” on a product like this. Meaning when it said to use it on my arms, I decided to try it on my upper legs as well. After one week I could see a difference in the bumps on my legs and the bumps on my upper arms.

The Firminator is infused with Soft Focus Spheres that help disguise the bumps. It also has caffeine that helps improve your skins elasticity and Smoothbump spheres that exfoliate as well. While the product is on and absorbing into your skin you may feel a heating and/or tingling. When you feel this it will let you know that the product is working. Only thing I want to point out and, this is coming from experience, is you may not want to put this on after you shave your under arms and your legs because if your legs are anything like mine they will burn like there is no tomorrow. What I have done is I have used regular lotion and let the pores on my legs absorb the moisture for a few hours then right before bed I put on The Firminator.

Soget summer ready without th hassle of an arm workout that does not work and just spread on the miracle. You can get The Firminator at: http://www.soapandglory.com/bath-body-care/body-products/firming-serums/the-firminatortm-targeted-arm-firming-toning-formula
