Ready, Set, GLOW!


Could your skin use a little help before your summer break?? We have the answer! Here at Josephine’s, we have put together a three-step program to get your skin swimming-suit-ready, and give it that summer glow! Just call us, your go-to-Summer-Glow-Headquarters!
First things first, have you got your Clarisonic Body Brush yet?!

You just place your Clarisonic inside, and start scrubbing! This works perfect for hard to reach areas, like your back, legs, and even your feet!
The Clarisonic benefits your skin in so many ways! It cleanses deep down in your pores, where no wash cloth or shammy has ever been before! Use it on any part of your skin, for a clean, smooth feeling!

Next, come in to Josephine’s for an exfoliating Aqua Polish!
This is the ultimate experience of full body exfoliation and refinement, using the therapeutic benefits of marine elements and skin conditioning oils. This will remove uneven body skin textures and small flaws. A stimulating Vichy Shower further refines the skin leaving it conditioned, soft, polished and glowing skin.
Last, but certainly not least, pick a polish!

It’s no secret! Everybody knows you’re not summer ready until you have your manicure and pedicure done! Josephine’s carries the entire OPI line! We are sure to have that perfect polish that goes perfect with your bathing suit! All of our manicures and pedicures include complimentary paraffin wax to soften your skin, and smooth your cuticles!
So there you have it—Josephine’s three-step program.
Step One: Cleanse your entire body, and scrub it with the Clarisonic, using the Clarisonic Body Brush.
Step Two: Come in to Josephine’s for an Aqua Polish and get rid of all that dead skin!
Step Three: Enjoy a relaxing manicure and pedicure, before your big debut!
You’re ready! Now go have some summertime fun in the sun!

Master this Va-VOOM Topknot style


The key to this at-home style is patience….

STEP #1
Begin by backcombing your ponytail to create a bigger, more secure bun.
If your hair is SUPER fine, this is especially helpful.
A little bit of teasing goes a long way, not only creates the illusion of more hair but
 also it gives it enough grip to stay up all day or night. Secure the front section with
Aveda’s Control Force hairspray for all day hold.
STEP #2
Next crisscross the bobby pins into your hair to keep it in
place and create a tight grip. If you're using bobby pins to create the bun,
here's how to make it super secure:
·         Push the feet of the bobby pin up through the edge of the bun
·         Then jackknife the bobby pin back down, towards the center of the bun.
STEP #3
Finally wrap or tuck the bun tightly and then loosen it a bit with your fingers.
Most of us want a little bit of fuzz or messiness in an up-do, but if you start
 messy, your chignon or topknot (or whatever type of bun you're creating)
will get really messy by the end of the night.
Start with a tighter, more secure bun and then loosen strands lightly with
your fingers to make it look less perfect.
Send us your pictures to Jessica.K@josephinesdayspa.com for a chance to win a gift card for a special occasions up-do valued at $65.00.

Sasssy Summer Eyes


I know what you’re thinking, “it’s ladies night out this weekend, and I can’t do a smoky eye look in the winter!” Ladies, have no fear—sassy summer eyes, by Josephine’s, is here!

Step One: Prep the eye with a basic light shadow. This could be a tan, light pink, or even a light blue color.
Step Two: Lightly line the upper lash line, with a black eye liner pencil. Be very careful to make sure your line is right against the lash line.
Step Three: Using a smudge brush, bring the black line up, to look more like a dramatic cat-eye. You can make this as over-baring and dramatic or as light and crisp as you would like.
Step Four: Start at the middle of the lower lash light, and use the black eye liner pencil to meet the outer corner of your eye. This will make the ends of your eyes appear smaller, and sexier.
Step Four: Apply false lashes for a fun and sexy ladies-night-out look!
Now, go out with the girls and have yourself a blast!
