Watkins Lip Tints Greetings!
    I haven't worn lipstick in 30 years!  Imagine my delight and surprise when I lavished my lips with Watkins Berry Charming Lip Tint. Mom's lipstick didn't feel or taste like this. Naturally flavored with pure peppermint oil, my lips tingled and my tongue savored this new experience. This product is not lipstick. It's actually 100% natural beeswax lip balm, with a hint of color!
In four attractive shades, these lip tints contain:
· Shea Butter: An intense, deep moisturizer obtained from the African karite tree.
· Beeswax: Helps prevent chapping and cracking. Derived from the honeycomb of bees.
· Olive Oil: No petro-chemicals; this widely known plant oil is completely natural; from renewable resources; and readily absorbed by the skin.
· Peppermint Oil: Credited with refreshing and cooling properties. Contains more than 50% menthol.
· Vitamin E: Soothes the skin; eliminating the need for synthetic preserv
PUcker up 2 packatives.
Part of Watkins new organic line of beauty products, look what these lip tints don't contain:

Parabens, Sulfates, Chemical Sunscreens, Petro Chemicals, Glycols, Phthalates, DEA/TEA
-synthetic stabilizers, Formaldehyde Donors, 1,4 Dioxanes, Polymers, Acrylates, Carbomer, PVP, Chemical Preservatives, Silicones, Quats, Talc.
And just in
time for Christmas, you can order the Pucker Up Two Pack.A great stocking stuffer, it contains two of our most popular 100% natural lip tints, Tickled Pink and Simply Mauve-lous.

Season It With Watkins!
Susan Fox Hi. I'm Susan Fox.
Are you looking for a way to earn some extra income, pay off debt, prepare for retirement? Does your 401K need recharging after the recent market plunge? Even in a down economy, Watkins is an excellent business. Watkins is  recession-proof because "people need to eat. They need consumables, personal care and cleaning products (even in a recession.)" according to Wayne Unruh, #1 top manager at Watkins for 2008, and  my mentor in the business. He knows a couple, who have been in Watkins  for 13 years, and they believe this is their best year yet in terms of sales. They made this statement while retail department stores are closing and downsizing. I also read that during a recession, businesses tend to pull in their horns and advertise less. That leaves the rest of us -- willing to keep plugging away -- ahead of the game. In spiritual terms, the Holy Scripture talks about the virtue needed to survive both in a recession and in real life:  patient endurance. Sign up for Watkins today. It only costs $39.95. You immediately get 25 percent off all your purchases. And if you pursue it as a business, you will be poised to profit when everyone else is giving up.
Sincerely, Susan Fox (480) 671-3824
