Belleza now carries Texture Cream Paste for men by Goldwell Dualsenses. This product is great for all hair types, it gives structured and dynamic looks with a matte finish, provides medium hold, is easy and efficient to use- because of its cream consistency and extra long modeling time. Styling as men want it.  Stop by any Belleza to give it a try.

Enjoy this new way to bathe and shower by changing a mundane ritual into and exhilarating new experience with Spongellé. These all-in-one body buffers are infused with a silken, gentle shower gel and precisely formulated with essential oils, botanicals, sea kelp and olive oil to moisturize, protect and rejuvenate the body complexion. Each buffer has its own one-of-a-kind fragrance blend with a time release method that causes the shower gel to be released over time as you wash. Textures are designed for gentle exfoliation, to whisk away dry skin, stimulate circulation, and provide a delightful massage at the same time. One delicately scented buffer is an elegant alternative to the endless bottles, jars, lotions, creams and powders, and to ordinary sponges, loofahs and wash cloths. Belleza in Bearden and Turkey Creek now carries a variety of the Spongellé Daisy, Amboeba and Pedi Buffer.

Looking for a product to help reverse the signs of aging? Instantly Ageless Facelift in a Bottle is a gentle serum that is absorbed into the skin, instantly contracting the skin cells and drawing them closer together. It targets those areas of the skin which have lost elasticity, giving your skin a tone lifted appearance in minutes. It contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, a non toxic anti-aging peptide. It is combined from naturally derived amino acids that have been shown to help prevent fine lines induced by repeated facial movements. It is applied topically under make up to enhance the natural firmness and tone of your skin.

During this season of giving, consider helping a low income family through a donation of non-perishable food. Belleza is teaming up with Head Start this season to help donate as much food as possible to families in need. Boxes will be at every Belleza location from now until January 21st, 2012.

Head Start serves about 1,000 low income children and families in our community. Even with the majority of Head Start families working, the average income for a family of 4 is less than $20,000 a year. If you purchase items for food baskets, think about foods you and your children enjoy and consider shelf-life. A bag of rice and/or dried beans with a storage container can help a family provide meals for several weeks. Canned fruits and vegetables give families some variety to their menus. And of course, macaroni and cheese is an all time favorite for young children!
