Jackie Simple Self Care

Farmasi? Oh God, not another MLM. 🙈

That was pretty much my first thought when my cousin called me in January 2023 to tell me Farmasi was launching in the UK.

But after Covid, I'd somehow turned into a grey little mouse who lived in joggers, and I'm pretty sure the face cream on my shelf was older than Sam. 😂 I needed something to give me a kick, so I bought the starter kit. 🙈

And, against all expectations… I fell in love. ❤️

Not with MLM. With Farmasi.

A brand with over 75 years of history, its own development and manufacturing, and everything from makeup and skincare to haircare, body care, fragrance and wellness.

I loved that the products combined natural extracts with modern active ingredients without the ridiculous price tags.

But most of all, I loved how it made self-care feel simple again.

I started wearing makeup, looking after my skin, experimenting with new things and, most importantly, enjoying the person looking back at me in the mirror again.

Three years later, I'm still finding new favourites, sharing what I've learned and getting a real buzz when something I've recommended helps another woman feel good about herself too.

And somewhere along the way, that grey mouse in joggers became Jackie Simple Self Care – and Farmasi brought some genuinely amazing women into my life. 😂❤️

It's probably not your typical advert… but maybe a few of you recognise that grey mouse. 😉

And if you do, and you fancy a little nudge in the right direction too, give me a shout. ❤️

Does your hair look worse for wear? ☀️

All that sunshine has been lovely… but our hair might disagree. 😂 If yours is feeling dry, rough, frizzy or generally a bit frazzled, it might be craving more than just moisture.

💡 This is where protein haircare can help.

Proteins temporarily reinforce weakened areas of the hair, helping it feel stronger, smoother and softer, while conditioning ingredients help tame frizz and make detangling easier.

And that's exactly what Keratin Haircare Therapy is designed for.

🧴 Shampoo: hydrolysed vegetable protein + conditioning ingredients
💆‍♀️ Mask: corn, wheat & soy proteins + panthenol (Vitamin B5)

Particularly lovely for dry, coloured, porous or heat-styled hair.

And clearly I'm not the only one excited about it… when it first launched in the UK, it sold out in just 4 days! 😳

BUT new stock landed this afternoon. ❤️

Has summer been kind to your hair… or is it currently resembling a haystack? 😂

Erm… excuse me?! 😳

I was NOT expecting that much difference from one application. Visible veins softened, skin tone evened out and a gentle sun-kissed glow. 🤯

And before you say ask… no, it’s not fake tan! 👀

I showed exactly what I used and how it works on my live in my Be Well with Jackie - VIP Club, because this one needs to be seen in action. Even for the sake of showing my bare face and bedroom mess 🙈

Who else has legs they would quite like to put a camera filter on? 😂

Any special occasion coming up that you would want to look perfect for?

Does your makeup end up looking cakey?

The mistake might not be your makeup. It could be what you’re putting underneath it or how you look after your skin.

As I get older, I’ve realised that good makeup starts with good skin preparation. Not 20 steps, just a 2-3 but consistent ones!

Because hydrated skin and a lightweight base make all the difference.

You can see it in the top photos. My freckles and natural skin are still visible, but the redness is toned down and my skin looks more even. No thick layer of foundation or correctors needed.

Then I can add the rest. A little colour, mascara, brows and lips, without feeling like I’m wearing a mask.

If cakey makeup is your problem, put ❤️ into comments, and lets look at your skincare routine first together.

I got to 12% in July 📈🥳

I've not been celebrating my ranking for a while, but I'm so proud of this one!

Right in the middle of the summer holidays, when I expected orders to go quiet, I got yet another step up 😊

Why do I feel it's achievement?

Year one was chaos, if I'm honest 😅 Ad hoc orders, testing the waters, no idea what I was doing. Some months I hit 6%, others 0%. It all came down to whether people could get their hands on L-carnitine. When it was in stock, everyone wanted it 😉

Year two, things settled 🌱 I found my tribe. A small group of women who actually wanted to try something different and who are now great friends of mine 😍 Steady 6% most months, with a lovely 15% just before Christmas. That's when I started feeling like I actually knew what I was doing.

Year three is so far about building that tribe, slowly 💛 Nothing forced, nothing pushy. Just a growing group of women who like saving money on their monthly makeup, skincare and supplements. Steady 9% most months. 💪

And now, mid-summer, 12% 🎉 💃

If I keep going this way, steady and honest, I know where I'm headed.

There's a trip Farmasi runs for leaders who reach Golden Director. It includes a visit to their global HQ in Istanbul and a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia 🎈

It might take another year or two, one happy customer at a time, but I'll get there! (Then I'll need nappies because I'm affraid of heights) 🤣🙈🤣

What does "getting there" look like for you?

It's never just another parcel 🎁

Have you ever opened a parcel and thought...

"Someone has genuinely taken the time to make this feel special."

That's the feeling I want every woman to have.

Could I push every special offer the moment it comes out? Of course.

Could I recommend products just because I wa t to cash in the biggest margin? Probably.

Could I pack everything as quickly as possible and move on to the next order? Absolutely.

But that's not why I started Jackie Simple Self-Care.

When you message me, we chat first. We work out what's right for you, not what's best for my sales that week.

Then comes my favourite part...

Choosing samples I think you'll love, adding a personalised note, wrapping everything with care, and making it feel like a little gift to yourself.

Because I don't believe self-care starts when you open the product.

I think it starts the moment your parcel arrives. 🤍

What makes a shopping experience memorable for you? Is it the packaging, the personal touch, the advice, or something else? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
