Another great Kerastase product

Just a summer tip that I thought I would share.  Kerastase has a new product called Fibre Architecte. You apply it after towel drying,  then finish drying. Anyway, good stuff. I wouldn't bother posting about it if it wasn't. :)

New lipstick

I have totally neglected my blog.  Maybe because it was winter and I felt uninspired.  Anyway, just for fun I did buy a new lipstick for spring called Naked in Paris by Mac.   Good color.  try it. :)

Mascara

So a while back I ranted and raved about the Clinique Glossy Mascara, saying it was the only good mascara out there. I still believe it is very good, but for some reason lately I have been experimenting with some of the more grown up/pumped up mascaras (because it is fun.) Also because I was at a store that had a table of "must have cosmetics". So I tried the Christian Dior (DIORSHOW) mascara. I liked it for about 2-3 days until it started clumping. I think after a few times the brush starts to get over coated and whatever I don't like it anymore (I know, I should probably just wipe the brush off). Anyway, long story short (and several other failed purchases like one called Blink), I'm recommending Neutrogena Healthy Volume mascara. Not expensive ($7.49) Doesn't clump adds volume. Does everyone think about this stuff or is it just me?

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. :)
