Welcome KC Live Viewers!
Thanks for watching me yesterday.
We discussed several amazing and unique products that allow you to have a salon services from the comfort of your home. (And don’t break the bank.)
Sally Hansen Salon Insta-Gel Strips System
If you love gel manicures, Sally Hansen has come up with a way to get a salon experience at home with the Sally Hansen Salon Insta-Gel Strips System (there is also a Sally Hansen Gel Polish System). With the Insta-Gel Strip System, you take pre-populated color strips and adhere them to your fingernails. File off the excess and coat with UV polish. Place under UV light and you have an instant manicure that should last for up to two weeks. CVS currently has the Sally Hansen Salon Insta-Gel Strip System for $29.99 and there is also a $5/1 Sally Hansen Salon Gel System Printable Coupon available to lower your cost even more. (Plus remember that these nail products are part of CVS’s Beauty Club where you buy $50 in product, you’ll receive $5 back in ExtraBucks Rewards.) Compared to a $25 gel manicure…this is a great bargain.
Tria Beauty Hair Removal
If you have followed KCM for any length of time, you know I had laser hair removal on two parts of my body. (Under arms and bikini line.) It worked wonderfully during my sessions. And I was excited to be hair free…
Until a few months later and little hairs came back and I realized I needed to have “upkeep sessions”. Upkeep sessions are expensive and they take time out of my calendar that I frankly do not have.
Luckily, TRIA Beauty has an FDA-approved home-laser hair removal system that rivals a salon experience except you can do it from HOME. While the machine is not cheap (around $395) it is a great way to have a salon experience without the travel and the ongoing cost. When you compare that most laser hair removal sessions are any where between $300 – $400 per body part, the Tria Beauty Laser Hair Removal becomes an effective and cost-saving way of removing unwanted hair.
High Quality Facial and Body Products
Thank the LORD that we are able to get high quality (like dermatology level) products at mass retailers.
Seriously, our skin and its health is so important and being able to give our face “facials” on a weekly or bi-weekly basis is key to have younger looking skin. For example the starter kit from Hydroxatone includes an amazing and high quality serum and microderm abrasion for only $49.00. That is the cost of one facial and you are able to give yourself multiple facials for the same cost.
And I am in love with these Apotheke Products from Target. I was an AVEDA devotee and while I loved the way they smelled, I hated shelling out the money. Apotheke is the best of both worlds. Great products with great ingredients and amazing smells for about 1/3rd the price. Mama can be pampered and still stay on budget.
