Issue #41 - Greta Becomes a Cover Girl

"Yes, we want you to be our new cover girl for GreatSkin," announced Toby Wentworth, the president of the famous Wentworth Modeling Agency. Greta couldn't believe her ears. Guy Thompson, the publisher of Face Magazine had sent her to the agency to write a story about the glamorous lives of top models, but suddenly Greta found herself being offered a new job!

"I don't know if I'm really qualified," Greta protested, looking at the photos of the office wall of beautiful women posing in Bob Mackie glittery gowns, edgy Comme des Garcons ensembles and classic dresses from Stella McCartney.

Toby stood up. "Darling," she said in an accent that bespoke years of experience in the modeling business. "I have an eye. Trust me. You'll be fabulous. You're just what GreatSkin is looking for." Toby then lowered her voice to a whisper. "And Greta, your skin is luminous."

Greta knew it was true. Just that morning, she had begun her day by cleansing her skin with GreatSkin Vibran-C Cleanser. It smelled bright and sunny, like fresh oranges and it was full of vitamin C.  Next, Greta spritzed a little GreatSkin Vibran-C Mist on her face and neck and let the refreshing mist tone and hydrats her skin. Greta knew she'd be out and about at meetings that day, so she made sure to protect her skin with GreatSkin Vibran-C Day Lotion. With an SPF 15, this delicious lotion not only moisturized her skin from the sun's damaging rays, but the antioxidants helped to keep her skin young and vibrant.

Next Greta opened the jar of GreatSkin Vibran-C Cream with Ceramides. This was a new purchase and a little gift to herself. She loved the beautiful packaging. The crème felt so rich and luscious on her skin. After this, Greta applied just a dab of GreatSkin Vibran-C Firming Eye Gelee, using her ring finger to delicately apply to her under eye area. As a finishing touch, Greta applied a little GreatSkin Vibran-C Lip Treatment, a super rich, healing vitamin C balm that smoothed her lips and protected them. 

The modeling agency president, Toby suddenly looked up at the door.  "Oh Greta," she said. "I'd like you to meet someone."

Greta turned around to see the most handsome man she had ever seen in her entire life standing in the doorway. He had black hair and dark brown chocolate-colored eyes and a smile that just made Greta feel a little weak in the knees. "Hello,"Greta somehow managed to say.

"Nice to meet you," he said, offering her his hand. "I'm Mark James," he said. "And you must be Greta."

"Well, yes, I am." Greta said.

"You're perfect," he said.

Toby stood up. "Mark is from GreatSkin. I told him about you." Mark James sat down next to Greta and looked deeply into her eyes.  Greta felt mesmerized. "Say, yes," he said. "Say you'll be the new GreatSkin cover girl."
And without a moment's hesitation, Greta said yes and in that moment she knew her world would never be the same!

Valentine's Day is here and we must have kissable lips for our Valentine! You can have beautiful, kissable lips by following a few simple suggestions.

• Keep yourself hydrated and drink plenty of water.
• When exfoliating the skin, don't forget to exfoliate the lips, as well. If you're lucky enough to have a Clarisonic Exfoliating Unit, use it all over including the lips. If you don't have one, use a clean, soft bristle toothbrush to apply an exfoliant (try GreatSkin Cucumber Refining Scrub) on the lip area.
• Before bed, apply a rich lip balm for overnight. Try GreatSkin Vitamin E Stick or Joey New York CinnaMen Lip Balm or Joey New York Super Duper Lips.
• Sleep with a humidifier to keep skin (including the lips) hydrated.
• Avoid licking lips as this will dehydrate and chap the delicate lip area.
• Apply your facial moisturizer and foundation over your lips, as well. Try GreatSkin Mineral Sheer Tint Moisturizer with SPF 20, which is moisturizer, foundation and SPF all in one!
• Apply a lip liner that is the same color as your lipstick to outline the lip area. This will keep your lipstick from running outside the line. Try GreatSkin Indelible Lip Liner.
• Apply a non-matte lipstick with an SPF. Matte lipsticks have a tendency to dry out the lips, so choose a hydrating one instead. Try GreatSkin Lipshine Lipstick with SPF.
• Last, but not least, choose a luscious lip gloss to apply on the pout of the lower lip to give a sexy, pouty look! Try our Glo Minerals Glo Gloss.

Now, you're ready for a kissable Valentine's Day!
