Chanel Lipstick color

I accidently received a new color lipstick that I got when I was ordering Wild Tulip(discontinued in stores) online. Anyway it is called Baroque. Very pretty. On the darker side but not too much. Really like it.

New Kerastase Elixir Ultime

For those of you who have thick or dry hair, Kerastase has a new serum called Elixir K Ultime. It is the new gold one. It looks like sex oil in a bottle but it's not. Makes your hair soft and shiny, smells great. Really good stuff. I can only speak for those of us who have thick, kind of damaged hair. Must get it. Actually, my daughter age 17, loves it too.

Wild tulip

Just an update on Chanel's Wild Tulip lipstick if you liked it. They discontinued the color for some reason. Or at least I can't get it around here. However, you can buy it online. Just google discontinued Chanel lipsticks and it's there. Use the Chanel site not the others. I still like this color.

A Brazilian of a Different Sort

I went a couple of weeks ago and had the Brazilian Blowout done on my hair. As I mentioned before I had the Coppella Keratin Hair Treatment done last January which I liked overall and I really think it helped my really damaged hair. The thing about the Keratin is that it is expensive and you have to keep the "stuff" on your hair for 3 days. I really wasn't thinking I needed to do it again, but when I heard about the Brazilian Blowout, I of course had to try it. You know, for the cause. Anyway, I love this. This is much easier. There is no stuff you leave in. Your hair looks great when you walk out of the salon. You can pull it back. Also, I found that simply blow drying and your good to go. no flat iron necessary. That alone is worth it to me. Saves so much time! This is not the thing for people with already fine straight hair obviously.

Update however: I called to get an appointment for my daughter who wanted to try it, and they told me that they weren't scheduling these for the time being because there might be a toxic chemical in it that may be harmful. So typical. anyway, it was good while it lasted. :)

This is not your mother's hairspray!

Just getting back about the Morrocan Oil Hairspray. Since no one responded and did not go out and buy it and respond, I felt the need to purchase it myself as usual and try it. Thankfully, I did not waste my money because I really like it. It smells great which I like because I don't want to smell like chemicals. However, this is not for people who want cement to plaster down their hair. This is very light for those pieces of hair that want to go left, that you want to go right. Or maybe that's just my problem. Not sure. Anyway, good stuff. :)

Update on Obagi C

I have been using Obagi C sort of off and on. It is a little dry for me. I tend to use the night cream more than the day routine. Although, I have a friend (she hasn't commented yet about this on my blog), who claims she loves it and that I should stick with it. The dryness she says goes away and she loves it. Obagi is a great product. They also have the regular Nu Derm system which is great. So if you haven't tried that you might look into it. A lot of dermatologist carry it in their offices.

urban decay eyeliner

I recently purchased the Urban Decay eyeliner that I heard was good (Allure award or something). Anyway, I got the black, some color called Dime and another called Gun Powder. My daughter was with me so some of it was for her. The woman at the Sephora counter scared us a bit when she asked if we have a heavy duty eye makeup remover because this stuff is "industrial" (she said) in terms of waterproof. I don't think it really is though. My problem is that I think eyeliner pencil doesn't really work for me. I may not have the right shaped eyes/aging. However, I will say that the Dime and Gun Powder are pretty especially,I think, if you have light eyes. Very silvery/ Probably best on the lower lid. So if you do use eyeliner and are good at putting it on, they are creamy and go on nicely. One other thing about eyeliner I notice, is that I think as you get older, dark eyeliner on the bottom eyelid does not look good. Maybe this is not true for everyone, but I think it draws the eye down. At least it does for me. Just food for thought.

Glo minerals-concealer

As a matter of fact the La Mer is a bit pricey. I think it was around $80.00. However, it does seem like I will have it forever. Another good one is the Glo Minerals one. It comes in a little round container with 2 tones. half and half. I use the light tones but they come in different shades. Also very good and cheaper.
