Get A Complete Beauty, Fashion and Health Makeover For FREE This August
Need an upgrade? Sometimes we all do!
* Breakdown of the Month: FREE MAKEOVERS!
Wish you could be one of the Makeover Mommas of the Month? Last month I kicked off an amazing new concept: the top brands in the world spoil 3 deserving mothers who never take time for themselves. The winners were chosen at random, and now we have 3 amazing moms who will be showing their final results super soon (so stay tuned for the big reveals!) In the meantime, wouldn’t you love to be one of the next mothers chosen? Now you can…
Win A FREE Makeover: Become the next Makeover Momma of the Month
I’m picking 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month for August, and you could be 1 of them! Just do the following…
* Comment Below: Why do you need a makeover this August?
* Follow Our Sponsors: Study up on the fabulous products you’d receive, and show your support by following their social media accounts to qualify for entry.
The Goods: The Experts Behind Your August Makeover Experience
* The Skin Makeover: Jabot Red Carpet Kit
The red carpet is synonymous with beauty and glamour, and this enormously popular kit from Jabot lives up to the promise. This line of effective skincare products was originally inspired by the soap drama the Young and the Restless, and each ingredient delivers the same dramatic results as the show does plot-lines. This kit reforms the complexions of Hollywood’s elite prior to big appearances, and features three anti-aging breakthroughs: Crushed Diamond Facial Resurfacer, Photo Ready Face Lift and Picture Perfect Eye Lift. And if words like “diamonds” and “lift” aren’t tantalizing enough, Makeover Mommas of the Month will be the only women using these kits before the end of July (the line is completely sold out!)

* The Body Makeover: Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream
Show me a pregnant mother who worries about getting stretch marks during pregnancy, and I can show you a fabulous woman who’s wasting her time. It’s like the bumper sticker once said: stretch marks happen (or something like that) and there is very little that we can do about it. Aside from giving your beautiful children back and reversing the hands of time- which at times is admittedly tempting- these pesky marks come with the territory and are not the end of the world. Still, why do they annoy us so much? Apothederm feels our pain and has created a revolutionary stretch mark cream to gently reduce their appearance, without using harmful, toxic chemicals. Your skin will thank you later…

* The Hair Makeover: Nunaat Hair Treatments
Our hair has a million reasons to hate us: motherhood induced hormones, damaging styling, using the wrong products and moreover. No matter the reason, Nunaat has a line of haircare products that can fix your specific problem and work with your personal hair texture. This luxurious line of hydrating, decadent products works with curly hair, damaged hair and everything in between. In fact, Nunaat is so personalized to your hair personality that they will personally recommend the right treatment for each one of our 3 Makeover Momma of the Month winners. Whether it’s Nunaat’s Treatment Cream to make curls bouncy and nourished, or their super popular Brazilian Kertain line to repair fried strands without using formaldehyde. Even their Silicone products can boost the shine factor in the most neglected of locks. No matter your need, Nunaat has something for you!
* The Hydration Makeover: Activate VitaminWater
Vitamins are not just something your children should be taking… they are important to your hair, your skin, your nails and (most importantly) your health. But most of busy mothers don’t have time to take our vitamins, let alone worry about how much they improve our appearance over time. Thankfully, Activate understands how busy we are, and has created a one-of-a-kind VitaminWater system that preserves the effectiveness of nutrients by storing them in the bottle cap. Unlike typical vitamin waters that are full of sugar, calories, and who’s vitamins break down over time, Activate gives you a fresh blast of vitamins with every sip. On top of that, all of the bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic, and only have about 5 calories per serving despite tasty flavors like Fruit Punch, Lulo Pear and Exotic Berry. More flavor, more vitamins, less calories = perfect!

* The Fitness AND Nutrition Makeover: Makeover Momma Long & Lean Plan
Ok, perhaps I’m a little bit biased, but if you want to slim down and shape up this summer… Long & Lean is the way to go! 3 lucky winners will get full access to the Makeover Momma Long & Lean Eating Plan: giving you complete meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and more. Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or love drive-thru, there is something for every type of lifestyle. You can alternate between two different plans (one that helps you cook fresh meals at home, and one that lets you eat anywhere on-the-go) with zero stress. Plus, you can dive into the Long & Lean workouts whenever possible- giving you lean muscle tone with zero bulk… pretty cool, right?
Follow: @makeovermomma (use hashtag #longandlean whenever possible) and Makeover Momma
* The Slimming Makeover: Kmart’s SlimFabulous Shapewear
Can your closet be chic, hip, comfortable and still make you look slimmer? Yes, yes it can. Thanks to Kmart’s brand new SlimFabulous clothing line, you can wear vibrant tops and fashionable tanks without worrying about how many crunches you’ve done that morning. Instead of being worn underneath clothes like most shapewear items (which to be honest, can seem like a nightmare on a hot summer day), SlimFabulous has slimming materials built into the clothing itself. You can look a little bit leaner without doing a thing… if only my entire wardrobe could be like that!

Get Fit And Win Products With The Long & Lean Toning Plan
Long and lean moms Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Garner work hard for their figures…
* Product Review of the Month: MAKEOVER MOMMA LONG & LEAN PLAN!!!
Want to lose weight, elongate your muscles and eat better than ever before? I could not be more excited to announce the launch of the Makeover Momma Long & Lean Plan. After working as a certified personal trainer, fitness instructor and dance teacher for years, I’ve finally put together my most popular movements into one, easy-to-use toning routine.
What It Is: The L & L Toning Plan is a completely FREE workout system I’ve put together for my favorite moms. It only takes 18 to 20 minutes at home (4 to 5 days a week). It requires no fancy equipment- aside from a set of light weights- and will give you long, lean muscles like a dancer (instead of bulk). Just read over the printable workouts, watch the videos to learn proper alignment and get started HERE.
What It Is: This is not a diet, and not a complicated eating regimen that requires calorie counting, fat tracking or tons of extra cooking. The L & L Eating Plan was created to give you tons of energy, increased health, and slim, trim muscles with natural protein, less gluten and tons of vitamins. You can cook healthy recipes that your kids will love too (none taking more than 5 minutes) or you can grab healthy snacks for days on the run. You can eat dessert knowing it’s packed with Omega-3’s and vitamins, or have cake for breakfast (yes, Breakfast Cake is on the menu!) Basically, you’ll gain access to the following:
* 2 Eating Plans: Homemade Plan to cook healthy meals for the family, or the On-The-Go Plan for when you’re busy and running around. Mix and match depending on your week!
* Over 50 Pages With Easy-To-Make Recipes: You’ll eat 3 meals, 2 snacks and even dessert.
* Detailed Shopping Lists: Recipes were created to give you the most for your money (so you don’t spend tons on ingredients at the store)
* Gluten-Free, Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly: If you’re not either of the two, you can still follow this plan happily (substitutions given for everyone!)
* Unlimited Access: Automatically gain access to all future updates, new recipes, seasonal meal plans and more.
Click below to buy your L & L eating plan now (only $10 for ALL of that), and gain unlimited support and camaraderie with fellow L & L mommas!
The Giveaway: Long & Lean Bundle
To celebrate the launch of the Long & Lean Health Plan, 3 winners will gain access to the best in healthy living products! All you have to do is pledge to the plan, and you could be one of 3 receiving an amazing bundle of goodies designed to help you on your L & L journey. Here is what you could win:
* Best In Snacks: Soyjoy Pineapple Bars
One of the best parts of the Long & Lean On-The-Go Eating Plan is the excuse to eat Soyjoy snack bars whenever you need something sweet. Even though I’ve always loved Soyjoy bars in general, their new recipes and new flavors are better than ever. They’re soft, chewy and taste great (but don’t have tons of sugar and fake ingredients). Best of all, they’re only 140 calories per bar, which is literally have the caloric content of most protein and health bars on the market. I love noshing on 1/2 a bar before a workout and the other 1/2 after (and pineapple is quickly becoming my favorite!)
Follow: @SOYJOYUS and Soyjoy
* Best In Muscle Relief: The Miracle Ball Method
Even though the Long & Lean Fitness Plan is designed to give you (duh) long and lean muscles, there is no point in kidding yourself: it’s a challenge. Your muscles are going to be sore in the beginning, and you just might feel like quitting. That’s why the Miracle Ball Method is so perfect for easing achy, tired muscles (which is something we become accustomed to as moms in general). So whether the Long & Lean toning moves are to blame (or simply you’re intense toddler), watch this video to see how you can elongate muscles even more post-workout, and sleep sounder at night.
Follow: @ElainePetrone and The Elaine Petrone Method
* Best In Hydration: Zico Coconut Water
Coconut water might be a popular way to hydrate your body after a workout, but they are definitely not all created equal. I’ve tried enough foul, salty tasting coconut waters to know that Zico really is the best around: it’s low in calories so you won’t gain weight, has no added sugar or fat, and is completely natural. Best of all, Zico believes in helping the environment with every tasty sip, so the bottles are made from recycled materials and high in potassium to prevent muscle cramps after exercise. It comes in tons of flavors (Pomberry and Chocolate being my favorite), and has only 60, natural calories to fuel you during your busy day without ruining your healthy intentions. Even my husband (who hates coconut water with a passion) has become a fan. Don’t worry: you’ll become a fan soon too!

How You Can Win A Full Body Beauty, Fashion and Health Makeover For FREE
Life flies by when you’re a mom (and sometimes we need a style upgrade)…
* Breakdown of the Month: FREE MAKEOVERS!
What would you do for the chance to get a beauty, fashion, fitness and nutrition makeover? Since the start of Makeover Momma, I’ve received so many emails from stressed out, tired and overworked moms, begging me for makeover advice. Some of the women can’t seem to shake those last post-partum pounds, while others are dealing with irritated complexions or an outdated hair style. This is what gave me the inspiration for a unique, one-of-a-kind experience this summer that I can’t wait to share!
Win A FREE Makeover: Become a Makeover Momma of the Month
I’m picking 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month, and you could be 1 of them! Just do the following…
* Comment Below: Why do you need a makeover this summer?
* Follow Our Sponsors: Read about the amazing products you’ll receive below, and be sure to follow all of them either on Twitter or Facebook to show your support.
The Goods: The Experts Behind Your Makeover Experience
* The Complexion Makeover: L’oreal Paris
You don’t need another reason to love L’oreal Paris (at least I know I don’t), but they’re still giving you a new one. They’re spoiling all three Makeover Mommas with amazing makeup products from their fresh summer line. If you want clear looking skin this year but are never sure which shade to choose, the folks at L’oreal will personally recommend the right color for your skin tone (and send all the goodies you need to get clear, smooth looking skin). It’s the next best thing to having someone photoshop your complexion every day, except in this case it’s easy to use, it’s perfectly suited to your face and takes mere minutes to apply. You’ll never look back on your old foundation (trust me!)
Follow: @LorealParisUSA or L’oreal Paris
* The Makeup Makeover: Avon Jillian Dempsey Color Corrector Palette and Professional Eye Smokifier
No one understands stressed out, busy, budgeted moms more than Avon. They have affordable products, multi-tasking alternatives and easy-to-use-options that make my heart go “pitter patter”. But despite my perpetual Avon crush, you will fall madly in love with Jillian Dempsey’s top selling items (even if you’re already in love with her adorable husband). They are perfect for creating that sexy, bold smoky eye that you’ve always wanted, but have never been able to perfect (no sleepless nights with a toddler needed!) I’ve always been amazed at the power of a perfectly perfected, expertly administered smoky eye: your face will pop and you’ll wonder why you never took the time to do this before.
Follow: @AvonInsider or Avon Products, Inc
* The Skin Makeover: Brazillian Peel
The brand new Brazillian Peel is the #1 seller on shelves at Sephora, and you’re going to be trying it ahead of the pack. Don’t be scared by the word “peel”: this is the first professional-level glycolic-acid peel attainable at home, but it doesn’t have scary side effects or “red as a lobster” results. Instead, you’ll get instantly smoother, softer and more streamlined skin (just like you would if going to a fancy spa). It will help gently remove dead skin cells, visible wrinkles or pesky age spots, by gradually chipping away at years of damage. Valued at $78, you’ll use the treatment once per week over the next 4 weeks…. it’s like a good night’s sleep in a box!
Follow: @BrazilianPeel or Brazilian Peel
* The Tan Makeover: Beautisol Summer Glow Beautikit
I recently gave myself my own summer glow makeover by finally trying out self tanner after years of only “dabbling”. I was amazed at how easy the new formulas can be and how realistic the shades have become. Thankfully, Beautisol is one of the best self tanners on the market, because it was created by the Self Tanning Queen herself Sinead Norenius. Sinead tried every single self tanner on the market for years, until she finally figured out the key elements to the perfect formula (and thus Beautisol was born!) By using the simply Summer Glow Beautikit, you can get an all over “back from the beach” look, without streaky, smelly and silly results. It gives you an instantly bronzed look (so you can see where you’re applying), doesn’t turn orange, and is even packed with anti-aging ingredients… does it get more perfect?
Follow: @Beautisol or Beautisol
* The Body Makeover: Bliss Fat Girl Slim Treatment Kit
As if the name isn’t enough reason to completely adore this kitschy product line, the results will have you sold in no time. This cellulite reduction treatment from Bliss is perfect for those troublesome areas you can’t seem to fight off with diet and exercise. The kit is packed with revolutionary, cult-hit products that are like squeezing a weekend health retreat into your bathroom. Featuring FatGirlSlim (a caffeine-packed cream that reduces cellulite), FatGirlScrub (to slough off bumpy skin), FatGirlSleep (for a slimming pre-bed treatment), and FatGirlSlimulator (a one-of-a-kind massage tool designed to boost circulation and eliminate lumps and bumps). Bikini here you come!
Follow: @BlissSpa or Bliss Spa
* The Hair Makeover: Dove Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner
What’s a makeover worth if you have dry, frizzy, damaged hair in the end? (Hint: not at a lot). Luckily, the fabulous Dove (who has positive female advertisements and healthy product options) are topping themselves again by treating the Makeover Momma winners to their new, creamy conditioner. Designed specifically to heal and repair over-processed locks, even beauty professionals and product “shnoras” are fans of this brand new treatment. Women see a noticeable difference with only a few minutes in the shower (personally, I prefer applying conditioner from root to tip, and leaving in for at least 5 minutes while I shaving so it has ample time to absorb). You can also use this conditioner as a daily serum (applying a dime size amount to frayed ends) or as a protective ointment before heat styling. Silky, soft hair… here you come!
* The Color Makeover: Kelly Van Gogh Master Blend
How much would you pay to have a celebrity stylist and hair coloring expert give you a personal consultation? That’s exactly what super star Kelly Van Gogh is doing for our final three winners. She’ll study your current color, give you personal suggestions for how to improve your look at home, and send you the exact hair color you need to get salon results (without the price tag!) Her dyes are specifically made to give you gorgeous styles without the worry. Whether highlights that can be “frozen” at the perfect shade you need or all-over-color that couldn’t be easier to apply… you’ll feel gorgeous in no time!
Follow: @Kelly_Van_Gogh or Kelly Van Gogh
* The Fitness Makeover: Acacia Fitness DVD’s
Just because you’re getting a makeover doesn’t mean you’re any less of a mom. Finding time to workout at a gym or meet with a personal trainer is nearly impossible with your crazy schedule, so get results at home (and be able to keep them up) with 4 hand-picked DVD’s from Acacia. Each DVD has been chosen to give you a wide range of amazing results: for fat loss, for lengthening, for toning and to cut stress levels (which contributes to extra fat around our bellies). Squeeze in workouts at home, lose weight and feel amazing… can you beat that?
Follow: Acacia
* The Accessory Makeover: Stella & Dot
I adore my friend Elise and her amazing collection of Stella & Dot jewelery. Recently I forced myself to wear a beautiful piece of jewelry every single day for a month (even if it was just the same pair of big, bold earrings), and realized what a difference it really makes in personal style. Simply adding a gorgeous, feminine item to your everyday ensembles can instantly take your look from “simply dressed” to “super stylish”. The best part about Stella & Dot jewelry, however, is that it looks expensive, luxe and chic…. but doesn’t have the overpriced tag to match. Now you can look perfectly put together at all times, without breaking the bank. Fabulous!
Follow: @sd_elise and Irresistible Style
The Final Results: What You Do
If you want to participate, follow our amazing sponsors and leave your comment below (easy enough, right?) 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month will be chosen at random in 1 week (that’s right, you only have 7 days to enter, before your products are shipped out). Remember that the final ladies need to be prepared to take clear “Before” and “After” photos, use all products and treatments according to the directions for 30 days (no excuses), and follow all instructions given to the best of their abilities.
If you think you’re up for the task, then get ready…get set…. get made-over!
