NEW! RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum

April 9, 2009 By sherri 1 Comment

Do you dream about longer eyelashes?

The media has been a buzz for the past few months about the FDA approval of a new prescription medicine whose sole purpose is to make your eyelashes grow longer. This prescription drug, Latisse, was discovered when patients who were taking glaucoma medicine noticed that it made their eyelashes grow.

RapidLash Eyelash Renewal Serum is currently the only “over the counter” product that yields results comparable to the prescription forumla. RapidLash is not only as equally effective as Latisse, but it is about $100 less than any of its competitors! Using the product is easy – simply apply a small amount at bedtime to the very base of the upper lash line. Your eyelashes will appear longer and healthier within 30 days!

How does RapidLash work?

RapidLash serum contains proteins called Polypeptides, in addition to other vitamins, minerals, and moisturizing agents which join together to strengthen the hair follicles and hydrate the eyelashes all at the same time. Click here for a complete list of active ingredients.

Some Reassuring Health Facts about RapidLash

Received approval for safety/regulatory status from both the United States and the European Union
Passed both Dermatologist and Opthamologist skin irritation studies
The product is cruelty-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free

What are other people saying?

One of our favorite reviews of RapidLash is from the webzine, Glimmer. Gloss. Glow. Keri takes us on a five part series of her RapidLash trial and gives weekly recaps on how her eyelashes are doing. Even by “part two” of the series, she was already noticing improvements in the health of her lashes. By “part four” she noticed an even more dramatic improvement in the length and quality of her lashes (and eyebrows)! Her before and after pics are outstanding! Click here to see more before and afters, plus real consumer testimonials. Or you click on the video below.

For more information

For more product information, visit the official website for RapidLash. RapidLash is now available at Discount Beauty Center! The tube is about the size of a regular tube of mascara. If used nightly, the product will last anywhere from one to two months.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Part 1: Perfume

April 8, 2009 By sherri 2 Comments

We know that it’s only April, but Mother’s Day (May 10th) is just around the corner! (Think about how fast March flew by…) Want to get your Mom the perfect Mother’s Day gift this year? Discount Beauty Center is here to help! For the next few weeks, we are going to introduce you to everything MOM. You can decide for yourself how much you want to spoil her this year!

To start things off, we thought we’d introduce you to a very practical Mother’s Day gift - Perfume! These easy gift ideas are right on the nose!

Perfume – The ‘Mother’ of all Mother’s Day Gifts

Mostly all scents nowadays smell good, it’s just a matter of how they make a person feel. Every mom has a personality and so does every scent! Decide what type of “mom personality” she has, and from there, choose her a fragrance.

For the trendy mom: the new Vera Wang Look

Vera Wang Look, the new fragrance from the wedding gown designer turned fashion megastar was introduced to the public only back in November of 2008. The perfume has been receiving great reviews. It was already nominated for a 2009 FiFi Award, despite it being brand new to the market. To see a video of Vera Wang herself talking about the vibe of the fragrance, click here.

What to say on the card: Mom, this perfume will be just the thing to add to your new LOOK.

For the sporty mom: Ralph Lauren Polo Sport

Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Ladies’ Eau de Parfum Spray has been a best seller since its debut in 1996. Ralph Lauren is always a safe choice, and this fragrance is perfect for the active mom who spends her free time on the tennis court or taking an aerobics class!

What to write on the card: Happy Mother’s Day, mom! Let’s spend the day together. I’ll bring the balls, you bring the racquets.

For the mom who’s always classic: Prada Ladies Classic Perfume

This perfume is the original woman’s fragrance from the Italian couture fashion label. If your mom’s into high fashion and glamour, but sticks to the brands that are tried and true, then Prada’s Ladies’ Eau de Parfum is the way to go. Also available is the Prada Ladies 3 Piece Gift Set (a $95 value for only $69!). The set includes a 1.7oz bottle of Prada Eau de Parfum Spray, a travel sized .2 oz bottle of the spray, and the Prada scented hydrating body lotion.

What to write on the card: Mom, Happy Mother’s Day. This will go great with your new bag. (Make sure your Dad or sibling got her that new Prada bag!)

For the nostalgic, “hippie-chic” mom: the new Tom Ford White Patchouli

(We wrote about this one when it first came in stock a few weeks ago). White Patchouli, the new eau de parfum by Tom Ford has a mere hint of patchouli, which is often associated with incense. However, it’s much more of an updated, floral and elegant version of the incense.

What to write on the card: Mom, I know you miss going to Woodstock . This perfume will remind you of then and of how far you’ve come.

For your wife (your second favorite mother): The new Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours

Ralph Lauren’s newest fragrance, Always Yours was created amidst the ten year anniversary of the 1998 original and top selling Ralph Lauren Romance. It was formulated by the same creator as the original, with a more sensual feel. Always Yours is also available as a body lotion and shower gel.

What to write on the card: Thank you for being the perfect mother for our child(ren) [or insert children's names]. I love you .

For your grandmother. The new Ageless Fantasy Anti-Age Perfume Spray

This one could be tricky…If she’s comfortable with her age, then this perfume is the perfect gift for Grandmom. The new Ageless Fantasy spray actually claims to help “smell younger and more youthful to an astonishing degree.”

What to write on the card: Grandmom, you don’t look or act a day over forty. Now you’ll smell younger too!

Discount Beauty Center also has hundreds of other great fragrances to choose from! You are sure to find the perfect scent for Mom this year.
