We recently attended the IECSC show in Las Vegas, which is just an easier way to say the International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conference. We have been having a lot of success selling our “at-home” Sugar Me Smooth kits, but this was our first time selling our new “Professional” line to Salon owners. We were a little nervous as to how the show would go, but within the very first hour we new we were going to have a great weekend.
The Salon owners have always wanted to offer “Sugaring” in their salons, but until now it has been very difficult and expensive for them to get trained. They would have to spend thousands of dollars to get trained. We simplified the process by offering the first at home training system. We had a lot of people sign up to use our sugar too. It was a great success and we had so much fun meeting remarkable people from all over the world. There were several people from Europe who made the trip all the way to Vegas. I have a feeling they didn’t come to Vegas for just the Salon show, but that’s another story.
I think the highlight of the trip for me was to meet Jessica Kernochan, owner of LaLicious. I just love her products and have been using them for years. She was so much fun and even turned me on to a new scent I have never tried Sugar Kiss…I love it!
Overall we had a very good time in Vegas. The conference center is beautiful, our vacation rental was top notch, and of course the food is always a 5 star.
Friday I got brave and did something I NEVER thought I’d EVER do – I sugared my own eyebrows! “What is ’sugaring’?” you ask. Well – it’s the same basic idea as waxing – sticky stuff that rips your unwanted hair off (in laymen’s terms! Ha!), but it’s all-natural, and you don’t have to heat it up, so there’s no risk of burns. And, dare I say, it was EASY! But let me start from the beginning.
In my swag bag from the Social Luxe Lounge at BlogHer09, we got a sample jar of Sugar Me Smooth. The Sugar Me Smooth people were also there on site demonstrating, but since I’d just had a pre-BlogHer brow wax, I didn’t pay them too much attention. Then, this past Friday, the day before my birthday party, I was staring forlornly at my unsightly overgrown eyebrows. I just hadn’t made time for a wax and I HATE plucking. You see, I am apparently part monkey and my brows grow waaaay down onto my eyelid – yuck! Since eyelids are so sensitive, plucking always brings me to tears – especially when I wait this long and have to do so MUCH of it.
Exhibit A: my scary, hairy eyebrows in their natural state:
Then, I remembered the Sugar Me Smooth sample. I got it out, and saw that it said to go to their website for instructions. So, I did. I watched the instructional video – it was short, sweet, and easy to understand. Even though they demonstrated on someone’s arm, the basic idea is the same. So, I took a deep breath, headed to my bathroom mirror, and I DID IT!! It was so exciting. I do not know when I have been prouder of myself. I mean, I had every confidence that I could graduate from college but I had NO confidence that I could sugar my own eyebrows! But Sugar Me Smooth made it so easy! I still had to pluck maybe 5-10 hairs, but compared to the THIRTY I was going to have to pluck, that was nothing. Plus, the Sugar Me Smooth sugar rinsed off so easily, and left my eyebrow area nice and smooth.
Here’s photographic proof. Exhibit B: my eyebrows at my birthday party the next day:
(I know it’s not as good a quality of a picture but the brows are MUCH BETTER, eh?)
And here’s the Sugar Me Smooth instructional video I watched. The Sugar Me Smooth people don’t even know I’m writing this – I just happened to use the sample they gave out at BlogHer and I LOVE it so I wanted to share. I highly recommend this product and I’ll be using it again as soon as my brows start to get unruly! Enjoy!
