Foxy Blunt: Cards with Style and EDGE!

Foxy Blunt 1*Update — We have our two winners! The *folks* at random.org chose:

winner #1` winner #2

Congratulations to Jeanenne & Inkthis! Thank you all for your participation and continued love for the delightful products of Foxy Blunt! And thank you to Foxy Blunt for treating us to Awesome!

I am in love.

LOVE I tell you. A veritable pink, puffy heart explosion of LOVE.

*birds singing*

A friend of mine posted a link on my Facebook wall awhile ago.

Reminds me of a song… “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match… find me a find…catch me a catch!” Oh, a match was made!

A first glance, I thought… “OH Those are pretty.”

FOXY!

Good Luck… with that

I am not a fru-fru kinda- gal. I am not a fan of lace or dainty stuffs. However, I DO like flowers and whimsy and pink. But in particular ways. Then I have some rocker-chick in me too… I like tattoo art. I like clean lines. I like colors that pop.

Eclectic? Yes, let’s call my tastes “eclectic”.

AND I like a good sense of humor. I value wit and get a kick out of new twists on old themes.

Which brings me to my point, the greeting card. A card + a greeting = greeting card. Easiest math I’ll ever do. There are many cards to choose from, for all imaginable or unimaginable occasions.

But how many greeting card lines successfully bridge the gap between style, wit AND charm? How many draw in your eye… Building an expectation of one thing, and get an entirely other “thing”.

Welcome New Baby… adios sex (blank inside)

Foxy Blunt is that “other thing”.

When I fist laid eyes on the Foxy Blunt line, my eyes were pleased. I loved the lines, the colors, the balance of whimsy and color and design.

Then I read one.

Beauty.

How complicated is that? Is it found inside? Is it about symmetry? Is it only in the eye of the beholder?

Golly. I hope beauty doesn’t soley rely on our physical appearance. I think I have more bad days than good when it comes to outer beauty… or not. It depends on the place, and who’s lookin’ at me.

L’Bel (the sponsor of this review) has asked me to tell about a place I have been has made me feel beautiful… You be thinking about this question too… I want YOU to answer it as well :-)

I would have to say the place I feel most beautiful is when I am sharing life with the people I love… who love me…

With my hubby

Me and my girl

girlfriends

It doesn’t matter what I look like, or how I feel inside… when I am sharing my time and life with people I love — I feel beautiful. They see past the physical imperfections (which are only a mere few, really…).

Even in my stress or sadness or struggle (times I consider my physical appreance the most unattractive… or after working-out, but then I stink too… I digress), my loved ones make me feel beautiful. I can have tear-stained cheeks… eyes red and puffy from crying. Yet I am beautiful to them.

Because they know Me, not just the blotchy cry-face girl sobbing on their shoulder. Or laughing. I cry when I laugh too.

I am a passionate woman.

I confess, if someone happens to think I am physically beautiful – I won’t chase THAT compliment away. I’m no fool! I’ll ask them to continue. I’m kidding. BUT I have come to realize my heart’s desire is to be considered a woman with a beautiful heart. A woman considered trustworthy, loyal, funny, deep… irresistible because of my sexy heart. My compassion. My wit. My girlish charm. My love and misguided passion… My quirky, sexy, beauty-filled heart.

That’s right. *two snaps up in a circle*

What about you? Tell me about a place you have been that makes you feel beautiful. Do and enter yourself for achance to win $500 worth of product from L’Bel Paris! I have been enjoying my new L’Bel moisurizing/cleansing products very much!

I have very dry skin and I have been using the L’Bel Essential moisturizing make-up remover, cleanser and toner. I can feel the moisturizer in the remover, cleanser AND even the toner! I was worried the moisturizer combo would not leave my skin feeling clean. There was no need to worry! What’s better… often after washing my face with most other cleansers, I rush to apply moisturizer. This cleanser and toner never left me feeling at all dry.

The Suprémacie Jour moisturizer and the Suprémacie Yeux eye cream are heavy enough for overnight use, and not too heavy for day wear. I have also also been using the facial treatment cream, but I am not noticing much change with that.

Something I am pretty picky about is scent. I have been delighted with the scent of each product, even the champagne scented body lotion. I was pleasantly surprised. Additionally, the facial products I have been using have a pretty scent, but is VERY light. I’d call it powdery, not at all perfumy. I am not a fan of flowery scents, so was a bit nervous, but I found L’Bel to be fresh and light!
