My BeautiControl Story Continued

We had only been married a few years and I wasn’t in the habit of keeping things from him so this was a hard thing to do.  I wanted to tell him what I had done and better yet, I wanted to tell him how amazing these products were.  Somehow I convenience myself that in this circumstance it was okay to keep this little secret of mine, after all I was being frugal in other areas.  Oh, the webs we weave.  This would be an early “occasion” gift, I told myself.  Anything to rationalize the situation in my mind, but something incredible happened two weeks after I had made this questionable purchase that cemented my decision to use these products for the rest of my life.  Stay with me we will soon reach our destination.  Note I had been using my skin care regime for two full weeks.  I’ll never forget that beautiful chilly fall evening.  I often miss the change of seasons, unlike Virginia; we don't get to experience such in Florrida.  We were having great conversation about family and friends and discussing when our next trip home would be.  I often felt homesick since our closest family was 875 miles away.  When all of a sudden, my incredible husband says to me, “I don’t know what you are doing to your face, but it looks fantastic!  You need to keep doing whatever it is you are doing.”  I will never forget those words.  I was glowing and my husband had just said the most amazing thing to me.  Now I don’t know about the man in your life, but I could probably wear the same outfit for a week and my husband wouldn’t notice.  I was so touched that he had noticed the change in my skin!!!!  I was looking good and my skin was extraordinarily healthy!!!!  That was all the approval I needed.  I suspect that my hubby knew all along what I had done, although all these years he’s never made it known.  This story is among those that we remember with great affection.  At 40 something I am convinced that BeautiContol keeps by skin beautiful and youthful!!!  So I look forward to sharing these products with you so generations of women in your family can wake up to fabulous-looking skin as they are in mine.

My BeautiControl Story

BeautiControl is your skin care solution for a lifetime!  I can say that because of my personal story.  From 1992 to 1995, my husband and I lived in Virginia while he was in graduate school.  I was working as an Account Executive for MetLife and soon many of my clients became friends.  One client in particular and I became really good friends. Donna called me one afternoon to tell me about this new venture she was getting involved in. She was so excited she couldn’t contain herself.  I thought she was going to come through the telephone wires.  I hate to admit this, especially since I love these products so much, but as she was fitting in as much as she could on our call, I thought to myself the proverbial that’s nice…”is she really going to tell me all of this right this minute.”  I wondered, as I was listening to her, how I was going to tell her that I wasn’t interested.  I didn’t even know what I wasn’t interested in; after all, I didn’t even know the company much less anything about the products.  Nonetheless, I wanted to be courteous to one of my best clients and referral sources so I accepted her invitation.  Little did I know it would transform my skin into beautiful, youthful skin!!!  Well I arrived over to her lovely ranch style home under the pretense that she needed to practice before her first show.  I’ve been in sales most of my adult life; can you believe I fell for that?  LOL!!  Anyway, I went to Donna’s that mid afternoon in the fall of 1993 and she shared the product line with me.  I left her home that day with a bag full of goodies.  Okay it was a good size bag which was filled with my appropriate skin care regimen, eye shadow, blush, lip color, foundation and eye and lip pencils.  Remember, I told you that my husband was in graduate school.  I was the only one working and we certainly had not budgeted for such an expense.  As I drove out of her community, I pondered if I had made a wise purchase decision.  Should I tell my hubby that I just made this couple hundred dollars purchase that was not in our budget?  You guessed it…NO GUTS!!!  Over the next week I carefully tucked away my purchase not making my purchase visible to him.  Have you ever been there?
