[REBLOG]: from saks to salvation.: Rodan + Fields Have Got PerSKINality

from saks to salvation.: Rodan + Fields Have Got PerSKINality: "You know I am a stickler for exceptional shopping experiences and I think I've found another for you.  While pointing and clicking on Vogue…."  [click link above to continue reading…]


---> An important, StrictlyBickley afterword:

I LOVE the Rodan + Fields 'PerSKINality' tool that we've just recently launched! I ordered my personalized kit about a month ago; my skin falls under the "Too Hot to Handle" [see below for photo of my kit] persona (yes, they all have cute & catchy names; adorable!), due to my rosacea and sensitive skin that is prone to getting irritated/red under harsh conditions. Each creatively-packaged kit comes in a reusable makeup bag that conveniently and compactly stores all of the products your face will ever need, plus includes a customized mirror, tailored to every different PerSKINality. 

So when you go to take the PerSKINality Quiz, make sure you're visiting the one on my R+F Consultant website (I've linked to it above) so that I can personally help you, with the assistance of the personalized recommendations by the Doctors themselves, to "find out what story your skin is telling about your past habits and future appearance" using the interactive PerSKINality app.

The app's "propriety image analysis software...assesses skin and brings the expertise of two of the country's leading dermatologists -- Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields -- to you."

With this brand new tool, simply take a snapshot of your face, answer 5 basic lifestyle questions and -- voila! -- you will have discovered your PerSKINality.

To learn more about becoming a Rodan + Fields skincare consultant and have the opportunity to leverage the multi-billion-dollar brand success of the two most renowned dermatologists in the world as you build your own success as an independent business owner, creating long-term residual income for yourself as well as financial and time freedom, I invite you to take a look at our lucrative business opportunity, and/or please contact me, Bickley, directly at erinbickley@myrandf.com with any questions. 

I look forward to helping you reach your goals, and to supporting you in achieving the kind of financial freedom that you have only ever dreamed of…all while having the BEST SKIN OF YOUR LIFE! One of my favorite parts about my partnership with R+F is that my skin has never looked better than it does right now! 

Join our team -- and live your dreams!

So what are YOU, my Beauties? ...Are you Too Hot to Handle, like I am? Perhaps you're one of the few & proud who are Lucky and Lovely, only needing aging-preventative skincare? You could be one who wears your Heart on [Your] Sleeve when you don't mean to. And these days, more than ever, we come across those who Carpe Diem, but careful not to let your order of scrambled eggs come back as Sunny Side Up. Ultimately, we've all got an Expressionist within us who is just dying to emerge…although it's best to wait as long as you can before unleashing that part…

Off-topic: Autocorrect Woes

My iPhone's autocorrect, though I thought I'd "trained" it properly, has actually retrograded into being completely useless; I'll often be texting while driving (I know, I know…I set a HORRIBLE example!) but not really looking at the keyboard, just tapping my fingers where I think the letters I want are located, and the damn autocorrect won't even help me out a bit. But I'll press the space bar and the phone will think whatever I've just typed must have been legit…
…Because I'll be trying to type something actually legitimate and will have actually spelled it correctly, and my autocorrect will try to tempt me to accept some gibberish that I'd obviously previously mistyped and accepted. UGH.

My favorite times, though, are when I'm trying to type something out that may or may not be legit, but my autocorrect replaces it with a word that obviously was never in its original vocabulary, yet that I've used often enough that it's deemed 'plausible' with the autocorrect gods.

Case in point: I tried to type out "fuckup" to my old college roommate, and A.C. corrected it to "fuckity". Now I know I use "fuckity fuck fuck" every now and then, but I was majorly impressed with Sir Auto-Correct for pulling this one out of his magic tophat.

Autocorrect can really "fuckup" one's text mojo,

Beauty Must-Do: Eye makeup removal

A Bick-Quick Tip: the best way to remove eye makeup is with inexpensive (or free!) eye cream. You know those samples you get at Lancome whenever there's a GWP going on? Don't ditch your tried and true eye cream or get off of your regular skincare regimen just to try something new. Use your free samples to your advantage without wasting money on unnecessary, special "eye makeup remover" products!

After washing your face and removing as much eye makeup as possible with your face-wash alone (be gentle around your eyes, though, especially if you use an anti-acne or other harsh cleanser), close your eyes and smear a generous amount of eye cream over your lids, underneath them (where mascara residue tends to collect), and on the brow bone. Remove by gently wiping away the cream with a flat cotton pad (cotton balls don't absorb as well, and you have to use several just to get it all off, plus they leave behind the whatever they didn't catch on the first swipe). 

Didn't realize your facial cleanser had left behind that much eye makeup residue, did you? 

Still love my mascara but hate removing it,

If you look through my makeup drawers...

(I know, I know, I know…this is not a tumblr and this blog is NOT merely a .gif reposting site, I swear. It's just that a bunch of my close sorority sisters from undergrad and I started our own private tumblr where we have been making fun of experiences from undergrad, other people we all know/dislike/enjoy making fun of, and calling each other out. And I have come across just a few precious gemstones of .gifs that I thought fit quite accordingly here at StrictlyBickley. So, sue me for uploading. I won't do it again [too many times], I swear!)

giffing out,

When I try to convince myself that my diet isn't completely miserable...
