Votre Vu Review & Giveaway (Ends 5/7)

"For years, some of the best products in the world were only available in Fine French Boutiques.  Until now!!  Welcome to the world of Votre Vu."




I have the hardest time finding skin care products that I enjoy using and that I can actually see results to.  I had never even heard of the company "Votre Vu" until I was contacted by Melissa to review their skin care line and try the products out for myself.  Of course, I am always willing to try new skin care and/or cosmetic products, especially ones that originated from France, the "queen" of skin care. (In my opinion.)

I was sent samples of the normal/dry skin care line and a few samples of some of the men's products (for my hubby) as well.  I have never had a product on my face that has smelled so good before.  Even my husband noticed right away and said I smelled good.  Ooh-la-la :)  My skin felt extremely soft after I finished applying each product and it still felt soft the next morning when I woke up.  Amazing.  

Now, it was hard to see any immediate changes, as the samples only lasted about 4 days, but I am almost positive that if I were to continue using these products on a daily basis, some great changes would be in store for my face.  :)  During the time that I was trying out these Votre Vu products, I did not use any other products on my face.  

Here is some information about Votre Vu programs and specials that are currently going on:

*"Votre Vu has this great program called Personal Shopper.  To enroll it will cost $69, with that you will receive $100 worth of products (eye gel, trouble spot remover, duette hand creme/lux lip balm and a bottle of Snapdragon) and then you can enjoy 30% off all future purchases and 50% off every third item on your purchase.  This is an ongoing discount program that you only need to place an order every 18 weeks.  Plus, if you decide you want to sell the products you can upgrade for $70 and start to earn income all your previous purchases."


*Votre Vu has 2 Mother's Day Special Sets, both come in a special edition gift box with pretty touches of sparkle infused but are only available until May 12!

*First Set: Flowers for her Face $46 -
"A special delivery of this botanical bouquet will brighten any mother's day. This thoughtful arrangement of two pampering Votre Vu products will leave her skin petal soft and her heart full of joy.
Portrait Collar, a lush crème for the neck and décolleté, blooms with aromatic and restorative rose hips oil. Portrait Collar leaves skin beautifully soft, noticeably smoother, and naturally strengthened by marine elastin and collagen, and shea butter. Employing the petal power of Roman chamomile and Melissa extract, the enchanting Tout Le Monde Eye Gelée firms, tones and tightens the area around mom's ever-doting eyes. Soothing and repairing aloe vera and carrot oil deliver blissful relief to weary and sensitive skin."

*Second Set: Sweep her off her Feet $32 -
"A mother's work is never done and her feet can pay the price. Let her know how much she's appreciated and gift her with a stroll down the path to soothed, healthy, beautiful feet.
First, the exhilarating foot scrub with very tiny particles of benevolent bamboo, Très Magni-feet Exfoliant, gently eliminates roughness and banishes excess dead cells leaving feet clean, soft and refreshed. Très Magni-feet Crème, with its ultra rich texture, then hydrates, nourishes and protects creating a more youthful appearance and a soft, smooth feel."

Visions2Images Review & Giveaway - Ends 4/26


Having professional photos taken of my family is just a "no brainer" for me.  I love pictures.  The first thing that I had my husband do when we moved into our apartment, was hang the family photos on the wall.  I love decorating and I hate having bare walls.  With that being said, I was excited when Susie from Visions2Images contacted me and asked if I would like to offer a review of her products and a giveaway for my fans.  Of course I said yes.

Susie is not only a great photographer for local events (state of Tennessee), but she also creates many useful posters, logos, business cards, and more for just about every occasion.  Here are some examples of her work and what she loves creating:


"Business Logo Sample"

Do you have a business and need or want a new logo for it?  Maybe you already have a logo, but it's time to "change it up a bit."  Susie creates custom logos for all types of business.  Not sure exactly what you want?  No problem.  She is more than willing to create a few different ones and send you some samples before you decide which one you like.  


"Easter Card Sample"

Visions2Images also create cards, collages, invitations, and more.  They can all be custom made and even include any type of photos of logos that you would like on them.  


"Senior Card Example"

Susie created this Senior Card to give to her upcoming senior clients.  They then pass these cards out to their friends and family and in return, Susie gets some new clients.  What a great idea.  She can create these for any photographers out there that would like some new business as well.  They can be custom designed and printed.  


"Flyer Example"

Do you have an event going on and could use a flyer to help promote it?  Visions2Images also creates custom made flyers for your event.  Once again, they can be designed and printed if you choose to do so.  By the way, I love this design that she created for this high school dance :)

*Please note: Some of these images have Visions2Images watermark on them, so they aren't stolen, but it would not appear there on your actual designs and prints.  :)

BUY IT: Head on over to Visions2Images' website and have a look around.  You will find many more examples, ideas, and how to order there.

WIN IT: Susie would like to offer one of my fans a $30 gift card to her website to be used on any of her custom made creations.  

Note: If you would like a logo or a design emailed to you, there will be no shipping charges.  If you would like invitations or prints, a $3 shipping charge will be applied.
