Not a Beauty Blogger. Just a Busy Mom Who Wants Pretty Skin.

Not a Beauty Blogger. Just a Busy Mom Who Wants Pretty Skin.

Okay guys! Today I am coming to you kind of in a weird space, but kind of not. I am going to talk to you about beauty products. One brand in particular. Why do I say it is a weird space? Well, because I am not a beauty blogger, but I am a mom, a girl, and aging…..So, I do like to find great products! I need easy, quick, fun, good smelling, anti aging products that make me beautiful, younger, and honestly protect me from the harmful rays of the sun. So when I was asked by three adorable sisters if I would try their new face line I said, “Heck ya! Send on the products and let’s do this!”

I want to start with full disclosure. I am not getting paid. I was simply asked if I would like to try their products and help them to promote them. Of course it is not something for nothing. They did send them to me completely free and I was asked to post pictures of the products and of me using them. Now how could I say no to that? Free products and all I have to do is post a picture or three? Sign me up! What I was not asked to do was write about them, but you guys, I have been using them now for over a month now and I LOVE them! Like really love them! I love them so bad!!!!!!!

Let me introduce you to them! Busy Beauties is a beauty line for busy ladies who want to look and feel beautiful! I mean who doesn’t want that? I know I do! But being a 48 year old mom of three AMAZING yet busy boys, I need it to be simple, quick, and easy! I have found it with this line! Now they , the three sisters, literally just spent one year developing and perfecting high quality products that meet my basic needs and I know from talking to them they are working on so much more. With that being said, if you like quick, simple, smell good, do the job, basics you need to check them out! I promise! And you would be supporting a woman owned business that is making products right here in the good ole USA!!!!! And they are sisters! Sisters who are moms, executives, educators, and doctors!!!!! So busy like you and I!

Now to really put these products to the test, I brought my products on a girls trip and had my friends try them out. I will tell you honestly what they both said and let you decide for yourself if you would like to check them out. I personally think you should especially if you are aging, and I really hope you are because the alternative is….well…you know what it is, if you are busy, and if you like simple and easy, and if you like paying it forward! Do you know why? Because that is what this company does! They donate a portion of their proceeds to the Kids Shouldn’t Have Cancer Foundation which if any of you know me holds a special place in my heart. So talk about win win! Women Owned, Family Owned, Beauty Products that work, that give back! What do you have to lose? Nothing!

I do understand that some of you will need to know my honest feedback of each product so here we go! I was asked to test the skin care so today I will discuss with you my thoughts as well as my friends.

Gentle Exfoliating Hydrating Cleanser with natural jojoba beads

You guys this stuff smells amazing! It smells like a citrus party! And the little beads are so cool and gentle. We all know that exfoliating is one of the BIG secrets to staying young. Get that dead skin off! But our faces can be sensitive. These little beads are perfect! “They are not too big and not too fine” is how Diane, my girlfriend, described them. I totally agree. What I really like is a little bit goes a long way and a little bit removes all the dirt, oils, sweat, and make up from my face which is amazing considering I teach dance in my make up everyday. Every morning and night I am exfoliating and it leaves my skin with this dewy glow. I just love it!

Daily Hydrating Cream

This stuff is amazing! It is light and goes on so smooth. What I personally have noticed is on days that I shave my face, yes I shave my face, I am a little redder and I swear once I put this lotion on it really soothes it and calms my skin. It has special ingredients to hydrate your skin as well as stimulate collagen production which will reduce fine line and wrinkles! Heck who doesn’t want that! My friend Paige really liked it and said, “It is silky going on.”

Rejuvenating Mint Mask

This mask smells soooooo good yall! It is a mix of cucumber and mint so very fresh, very pleasant, and very light. With the special ingredients this mask is used to exfoliate, smooth, soften, tone and tighten your skin. What I also use it for is a spot treatment. If I have an unwanted “visitor” on my face I will dab it on, go to bed, and wake up and that sucker may not be gone, but it’s sure on its way out. I love it. I need to try it on my teenagers, but I have feeling it will work on them just as well too! My friend Paige’s only comment to me about this stuff was, “Don’t get it in your eyes!” I just had to laugh at that!

Retinol Night Cream

Ok I am guilty of not using retinol, but I have been wanting to. I have listened to what the girls have suggested and I have used it about 3 times a week and what I am seeing for me is my skin tone appears to becoming more even. My face is stupid, silky smooth and I am not sure if that is because of a combination of all of the products or the retinol. Either way I am hooked! Retinol is used to stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration to decrease the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, age spots, and skin discoloration. I would say I am seeing the last part of this big time. I feel like my skin color is even without putting on any foundation which is so nice! I did not bring this to the lake, so my friends did not try this, but I promise you will not be disappointed.

Daily Protection 30

This is the sunscreen and we all need to be using sunscreen. What I like about Busy Beauties is it is light. It has vitamins in it as well as zinc oxide which shocked me, because when I was a kid that stuff was white and heavy and we would put it on our noses. I don’t thing of this as heavy. I do have SPF in my foundation so I only wear this when I am going naked (without makeup) which is rare for me. I dance in make up! But there are occasions and I do like it on the days I am free of make up.

To wrap it up I really love this product! The smell alone had me hooked, but I do really like what I am seeing, what I am feeling, and what I am smelling. I highly suggest you all trying it out. If you are like me and get busy and get behind on skincare this company offers a sweet subscription with no hidden fees or agendas. You can do one off’s but again if you are a busy mama like me the subscription might be the answer for you. You can easily skip a month, swap products which is super cool, or cancel at anytime. Little secret….if you do the subscription, put a reminder in your phone and then you never have to worry. Isn’t technology great!?

So here is to a new skincare line developed by three sisters! Here is to refreshed looking, younger looking, and smoother skin! And here is to simple and easy to use; especially for all the busy women in the world!!!!

Get yourself a kit today and let me know what you think!!!!

Until next time!

XO,

Amy
