Ladies, I have found a miracle product: the Mario Badescu skin care line. I am not joking. Let me give you a quick background story about how I found these products. So it was about 2 weeks ago and I noticed that my skin was way broken out. Ugh, I’m 23 years old, shouldn’t I be passed this already? Apparently my skin was reacting to my new environment, (NC = humid climate and good for skin, NYC = dryer climate with pollutants and not good for skin), and decided to make a pepperoni pizza out of my face. Yuck. So, needless to say I was distraught. It bummed me out! So, I decided to pay a little visit to a Clinique consultant because their products usually work well with my skin. Off I go to Sephora because that’s the closest store with Clinique products to me. I explain to them my situation: 1) I have skin that breaks out, 2) I need a good skin care regimen that will take care of my skin while I live in the city, 3) I have VERY sensitive skin. Key word being SENSITIVE. So, they give me the Clinique Acne Solutions Skin Care Kit to use, saying that it will be perfect for my face. Well, 2 days later, I wake up with a chemical burn on the lower half of my face and my skin was peeling away! Disgusting right? Ugh! I was furious and crying and poor Jeff got the majority of the wrath, (“But honey, your skin looks beautiful.” …”Jeff, my face is falling off, I don’t consider that beautiful in the slightest.”)
So, after yelling at the Sephora people to give me refund since their “skin specialist” sold me a product that ruined my sensitive skin, I found myself sitting at my computer googling to find an answer to my skin problems. And low and behold, I found a gem, MARIO BADESCU. I spent the rest of the day reading all about it and finally decided it was worth a shot. It’s a very popular skin care line that lots of celebrities use, along with thousands of other clients. Lucky for me, their only salon nationwide is located in the city, so the next day I walked across the city to 52nd and 2nd and paid the salon a little visit. They were the nicest people!! They immediately took me into one of their consultation rooms, (without an appointment!), and talked with me about what was going on with my skin. They recommended some products to help calm my skin down and said that I had 30 days to try them out and if they didn’t work, that I could bring them back for a full refund. Well, to keep an extremely long story short, I AM NOT RETURNING THESE PRODUCTS NOW OR EVER! They have saved my skin, in as little as 2 weeks! I am amazed! The products are surprisingly not insanely expensive, but they’re well worth the price and they last for months. And the salon gives wonderful and affordable, ($65!), European facials. I’m thinking about giving a gift certificate for a facial to my sister for an early Christmas present when she comes to visit over Thanksgiving, and I’ll get one too! And their celebrity clientele is ridiculous. Jennifer Aniston comes into the salon every week, maybe I’ll get to meet her!
You guys have to check out Mario Badescu, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
