The Renèe Rouleau Glow

January 30, 2010 4:02 pm · Posted by oldergirlbeauty

Have you guys heard of Renèe Rouleau - celebrity esthetician, award winning product creator, award winning Dallas Spa owner & Harley riding chick? If not, you should go out of your way to make sure you do. She's got magic hands, and smarts, to boot.

I had a chance to get a facial from Renèe herself, after interacting with her on twitter. (*You might remember I rec'd her "Anti-Cyst Treatment" on More.com last October.) Anyway, I made the drive down to Dallas to visit her at her exclusive salon, where the celebrities go, for my facial. Wanna see what it looks like? Because I have a behind the door look for you:

Once I was settled in one of the comfy treatment chairs, Renèe went to work giving me their most requested facial, the "Cranberry-Brasion Facial". This included three types of exfoliation, including a cranberry enzyme peel, ultrasonic exfoliation, and micro crystals, vitamin application and a seaweed mask to help the skin absorb the moisture and vitamins. Because *nothing* is typical with me, my skin proved to be a bit of a challenge in that with my freckles, you would think that I would have a warmer complexion, but my underlying tones are def more sallow. So, that gave her some fun to work on, but I think she liked the challenge, as the end result shows:

(*Yep, I said the wrong facial name in the vid - I blame it on the relaxation haze I was in. My apologies.)

I'm telling ya, my skin felt so good, I didn't even want to put any makeup on it for quite a while - I was glowing on my own. Much thanks to Renèe for taking the time to treat me, explain her background, philosophies and about her 9 different Skin Types. (*I'm a 6, btw). I can't recommend my experience enough. If you get a chance to get down to Dallas, you should def make yourself an appointment to go to either this location, or her larger salon in Plano. You will get great results from either location.

MAC "Warm and Cozy" video review

January 18, 2010 3:55 pm · Posted by oldergirlbeauty

MAC has come out with a collection called "Warm and Cozy", which is just what its name implies - warm toned products. This is a larger collection with items from color cosmetics, that are primarily neutral nudes that fall on the warm end of the spectrum, to body products.

I had a chance to try out several products from this line, but my favorite of it had to be the Care Blends Essential Oils, Grapefruit & Chamomile, if only for the aromatherapy qualities alone. (*The fact that it soaked in and applied like a dry oil immeditately didn't hurt anything, either.)

As with most MAC collections, this one is Limited Edition. It's on counters now thru February, with the International release in February. Let me know if you pick any of this up & what you liked the most.
