The Ultimate Pampering Party

All summer long you've worked hard, dedicated yourself to family and gone out of your way to please other people. Sounds like a good excuse to party! Get your best girlfriends together, set out the Egyptian cotton towels, crack open some bubbly and throw the ultimate pampering party! By setting up mini-salon stations that cater to your feet, face, hair and nails, you can create a fabulous evening filled with female bonding, laughter and free beauty tips, and bring out the beautiful African-American queen inside.

Best Foot Forward

What's a pampering party without pedicures? Choose one of your most trusted girlfriends with the best pedicure to head this station. After she bathes, massages, and revitalizes your feet, let her bring your toes to life with CoverGirl® Queen Collection 3-in-1 Step Nail Color & Sparkling Nail Topcoat. Created especially for women of color, this chip-resistant nail formula has a base coat, color and top coat built in. In case you and your girlfriends decide to hit the town after your pampering party, add the sparkling top coat to create the ultimate "wow" effect!

Let Your Skin Do the Talking

Let one of your friends act as a masseuse and show you how to care for your skin. Whether you receive a back rub, neck rub or some form of reflexology, use Olay® Quench Body Lotion to restore your skin's elasticity. Massage this deep, penetrating, moisture lotion into your skin so you can feel it working to help prevent scaly, flaky and ashy skin from showing up on your arms, back, elbows, legs and toes. Wear it all day and night for non-greasy, velvety-smooth skin that feels good to touch.

No Mess, Curly Tress

One of the many secrets of being a beautiful black woman is having a head of healthy, curly hair! Whether you wear your hair naturally curly or relaxed and curled, there is a shampoo for you. First, select the girlfriend with the most hair expertise to head up this pampering party station. Second, gather your friends who desire non-frizzy, bouncy curls, and give their hair a drink from the Pantene® Pro-V® Curly Hair Series. The Dry to Moisturized™ shampoo is designed to control the twists and tangles in curly hair, reduce breakage, combat dryness and lock in moisture to give your curly locks a bounce and shine that gets attention!

Face the Facts

As black women, looking good is a given! Wrap up your pampering party by making the last beauty treatment about facials. And don't be fooled by the old adage, "Black don't crack!" Designate your girlfriend with the most flawless skin to lead this makeover station. Olay Definity® products are perfect to use as facial cleansers, moisturizers and skin-care treatments because they are made with anti-aging agents. Another inexpensive way for you and your girlfriends to prevent early signs of aging without breaking the bank is to introduce them to Olay® Total Effects® Skin Care Starter Trio. This trio works to fight aging before it starts. If you want blemish control, UV protection, daily hydration and nightly firming treatments, make this trio your anti-aging doctor solution!
