New Fall Catalog Just Released!

 

For me being a cosmetologist has always been full with emotion. It’s the art aspect of it all. The art, helping others, it’s all in my blood. Being an entrepreneur is a roller coaster ride in every way. Some days it’s like, “What am I’m doing, I can’t do this anymore, it’s too much!” Just when a slump has hit and I’m contemplating sitting in it something happens and the excitement of it overwhelms me.

I’m working today with the worst headache possible and just wishing I could take a nap, but the little guy is not having it. I have so many things to work on with my business it’s a bit overwhelming this week. I just got the digital catalog and it’s like a jolt of caffeine! All the colors, all the products, the yummy formulas, the new items! I hope I can pass on even a bit of my genuine excitement!

When it comes to skincare, LimeLife by Alcone really has a well deserved seat at the non-toxic, wellness products table! When in comes to makeup, you can’t get this combination of professional grade makeup that is still luxurious, anywhere! Here’s the new catalog! Grab a beverage and join the excitement!

Xoxo,

Cici

LimeLife's Fall Products Launch Featuring Aly Raisman!

So excited to be able to post the Look Book for the the Fall collection! Aly Raisman is the first collaborator that is not a makeup artist. The idea of Aly being the captain of The Fierce Five, American Olympic Gymnastic Team really spoke to Madison and Michele. Aly has a message of encouraging girls and women to be authentic, to go against the tendency to compare, and just really lead with who you truly are. Madison spoke on how when she first met with Aly she assumed Aly’s chosen theme of Fierce was going to mean strong, bold, colors. What was a pleasant surprise was Aly being interested in showing how Fierce can be in neutral tones or no makeup at all. A subdued, quiet, fierceness! That makes me think of how many times girls or women are discounted because they aren’t aggressive or yelling from the roof tops. Some of the most fierce moves are made quietly.

I hope you will fall in love with fresh colors and new products as much as I have and I look forward to sharing them with you in person and on line!

xoxo,

Cici

New Waiting List Created for AmazeBox Subscriptions!

bath-4.jpg

So the AmazeBox is still killing it! Debuting in May, it has sold out in minutes every single month since. After the first sell out, the decision was made that in order to keep up with demand they would only release 2000 subscription opportunities per month. Great if you have an extemely quick trigger finger but if not, you’ve been missing out like many. To rememedy the frustration still going on LimeLife has decided to create a waiting list. You can now sign up to be on the waiting list. Now on the day first Wednesday of the month at 3pm EST you will get an email telling you that it is your turn to subscribe and it will give you 48 to do so. It’s like grabing a number at the deli… you can browse the produce section until your number is called! By “produce section” I mean natural skincare! (wink) I love the idea and don’t think it’s been done anywhere before, but of course there’s only one LimeLife!

Go HERE to read about the exact steps to get on the waiting list. As always if you need any help don’t hesitate to email me or to contact via Instagram DM or Facebook comments!

The AmazeBox goes live again tomorrow, and this time it’s with some changes. Take a look at the video and then run, don’t walk to get in on this modern idea with an authentic twist!

It Takes a Legend to Improve a Legend

Did you know there is an industry standard for eyelash curlers? It’s true. There is an eyelash curler that is iconic among makeup artists. It’s award winning brand that bares the name of the Japanese native and industry legend who created it. 

It’s claim to fame is the construction and shape. It truly curls your lashes not crimps them. The light colored pad, helps you to physically see when all your lashes are in the curler, and the shape is perfect for deep set eyes. No pulling, no weird lash bending.

So you can imagine my surprise when LimeLife unveiled a new eyelash curler. LimeLife by Alcone was created by another company who is legendary in it’s own right among makeup artists, Alcone. I know Alcone is 100% aware of the industry favorite. So I wonder... “What do they know, what did they discover that would make them take on the fave?” Well guess what! Now I know... guess where LimeLife’s eyelash curler is made? In the same factory and the industry fave and pro standard!

What does that mean? Usually when items are made in the same factory, they are the same product that could be sold by multiple names; or a variation of the same product with upgrades or special changes. In this case, the only complaints received about the Shu Uerma curler is that:

  1. Sometimes is wasn’t wide enough for the widest eyes.

  2. There are no refill pads

And wouldn’t you know the On The Rise eyelash curler from Alcone has all the benefits I listed above about the Shu Uerma curler but it also is:

1. Wide enough for the widest eyes.

2. Comes with a refill pad and refill pads will be coming permanently to LimeLife shortly.

Aren’t you glad I do the digging to get you the deets? 

You’re welcome.

New Products for 2019 - How Do They Pick 'Em?

Freshly picked with makeup flowers.png

So Spring is finally here! I for one, never thought it would get here. I wasn’t just ready for more daylight, I was ready for some new additions to the LimeLife lineup.

Spring 2019 Includes a couple of tools including a professional eyelash curler.

Spring 2019 Includes a couple of tools including a professional eyelash curler.

LimeLife is the brainchild of the professional makeup supplier Alcone Co. The intent is to give professional makeup artists the ability to supply their clients with makeup and skincare that they actually use and trust, in one place, and to benefit as a professional. As a professional artist I can tell you that when I made a list of products or mapped out a look for a client that included a list of products, and told them they would have to go to more than one place to get the them, I could immediately see the look of disappointment on their face! I want my clients to be able to achieve the same professional results that I achieve for them. I don’t want them to cut corners because of convenience. LimeLife by Alcone makes me not only your artist, but also your one-stop-shop for the same professional products that I use and trust.

These new professional gel eyeliners were five, yes five, years in the making! The formula and colors carefully executed.

These new professional gel eyeliners were five, yes five, years in the making! The formula and colors carefully executed.

So what does this have to do with the new Spring lineup? Everything. LimeLife by Alcone is a company devoted to professional grade products that give professional results, that is their focus. Their goal is not to roll out as many products as possible, as fast as possible. The products have to work under professional conditions (extreme temps, long hours, all types of video and photography), in terms of skincare - they have to be effective, and skincare and makeup both have to be what is truly needed. For instance the colors chosen are colors that come from the input of makeup artists around the country and what they use most and have communicated that they need the most. So the LimeLife lineup of products is very carefully curated. When new products are added it is indeed a special occasion!

Did you know hand sanitizer is very important to the pros? Hygienic conditions are of the utmost importance when working with clients! You can count on your skincare specialist or makeup artist to want the most out of every product. This hand saniti…

Try This LimeLife Recipe for Acne Prone, Blemished and/or Inflamed Skin

Our skin can be a billboard for what is going on in our life. Hormone changes, environmental changes, allergenic and sensitive skin can seem to develop overnight. You just want relief and something that really works. For most of us, we don’t want to jump right away to harsh treatments when there may be another answer.

Everyone’s skin is different which is why I like to call LimeLife by Alcone remedies that work, “recipes,” These are real results by real users, however there is never a complete one size fits all. So even though you will generally see the same combination of products, they might be used differently. Frequency of use, order of use, and eliminating or adding a step, all this is possible from person to person.

Below you see Ashlyn Phillips, new mom and acne sufferer. The photo on the left is before her LimeLife by Alcone routine, the photo on the right is 3 months after! Her LimeLife by Alcone recipe is a combination of Dream Clean, Masque of Zen, and Cool Balm. She describes her experience saying, “I’ve struggled with acne for over 10 years. In the past I used a lot of drug store products and stuff like proactive. Nothing worked for me! This type of flare up was worse than normal because I was pregnant. But I had really bad flare ups! They just normally weren’t this bad! But even after I had my baby it wouldn’t clear up! It just kinda stayed like it was. So I found LimeLife and it took about 3 months to see these results! “

Ashlyn’s LimeLife by Alcone Recipe:

“I just use Dream clean, MOZ, and Cool Balm! I’ll wash my face once or twice a day and then use my mask once or twice a week and sometimes I’ll use it for spot treatments!”

As a skincare professional, I want you to use what works! Have a look at LimeLife’s offering of paraben-free, cruelty-free, harsh chemical-free, skincare!
