SNAP #16 Do You Believe in Miracles… Helia-D
At a dinner party fifteen years ago, a close friend, also a talented plastic surgeon, said to me, “You know, Mary, if you’re going to get your eyes “done”, better sooner than later!”
Although I’ve never gotten my eyes nor anything else “done” – I’ve earned these wrinkles, after all – I did take note of his remark. There isn’t a face cream I haven’t purchased nor a wrinkle remedy I haven’t tried.
Recently, in Budapest, the Hungarian women shared a secret about an only-in-Hungary product called Helia-D. “This is a cream that defies laws of cosmetics,” a pamphlet says. “Without a single penny spent on advertising and marketing, this product is increasingly popular among women of 24 different countries.”
The Helia-D Cosmetics Line, a well-kept Hungarian miracle.
What’s important to know, however, is that the Helia-D Cosmetic line can only be bought locally, in Hungary. It’s a sure bet that American women are suckers for products that their hometown girlfriends and neighbors can’t buy. If it reduces a few wrinkles with its sunflower stalk extract, so much the better.
There were 20 North American women in our Budapest city tour group and I’m pretty sure we greatly depleted the inventory by the time we climbed onto our bus to continue to Vienna.
My SNAP this week is the website where any Helia-D product can be ordered. Here’s proof that in the Age of the Internet, nothing is sacred:
Does it work, after just two weeks? The jury is still out. But, every night, as I’m slathering the cream on my face, the memory of it makes me smile. That is a very good thing.
