How to Apply Eyeliner

Moroccan Oil Hairspray

Was just wondering if anyone out there has used the Moroccan Oil Hairspray? I am thinking of getting it but don't want to waste my money if it is not good. I already have enough in the "product graveyard" section of my bathroom. Am I the only one that keeps this stuff? :)

Great shampoo and conditioner

It has been a while since I have posted. It's not that I haven't been "researching" though. :) So my latest recommendation is a shampoo and conditioner from L'Anza. I have been using the L'ANZA Healing Colorcare shampoo and the (same name) conditioner. It is the one in the red and white bottle. I have rather thick hair so I can only speak for fellow thicker hair people, but this stuff is fantastic. It is a sulfate free shampoo so it is great for anyone but especially people who color their hair or those who have done the keratin treatment. I believe them. And I don't always do. I originally got it from my hair salon, but now I buy it on line. Great stuff.

Follow up on Keratin Treatment

It has been 2-3 months since I had the Keratin Treatment. It is still working. I wish I had known about this a long time ago. I think I like it better now than when I first had it done. It really fixed the condition of my hair. Finally, the straw is gone.

Puffy eyes

I have not blogged in so long partly because I'm the only one blogging. Anyway, I did want to say that I may have figured out the puffy eye thing. Don't use eye cream at night! I have spent a gazilion dollars on eye cream trying to find the one that does not make my eyes swollen in the morning. I finally realized no eye cream works. So there you go. Put the eye cream on in the am. :)

Shampoo to use after Keratin Process

To help maintain your Keratin conditioning process you need to use a shampoo that does not contain sulfates. I had been using Pureology anti-fade Hydrating shampoo but I had some trouble washing the shampoo out which caused serious flaking. The new non sulfate shampoo that I find is very good and does not cause the flaking is made by Kenra, Color Maintenance shampoo. The conditioners can be whatever works for you, I have used Bumble and bumble or Phytobaume Conditioner.

Avene Cleanser and moisturizer

I struggle with my skin as I go through menopause. Sometimes feel like a teenager, but worse on top of skin breakouts I also have the drying issues of being in my 50's! I have found a cleanser and moisturizer that is very good. The Avene Clean-AC cleansing cream is an anti-acne cleansing cream but is not too harsh at all for my skin. I then use Avene Clean Ac Hydrating cream, also meant as part of an anti-acne treatment but is a great moisturizer without making my skin oily in my T-zone!
