Beautiful Volume Without the Stiffness

09.09.10

I have pin-straight hair. I have a difficult time finding volumizing hairspray that doesn’t leave your hair flakey, oily, or looking like helmet hair. I used to always purchase Pantene Fine Hair Lasting Volume Maximum Hold Hairspray. But when Pantene underwent a look update, I couldn’t find the hairspray anywhere on the shelves. I usually have both kids (young) with me while I shopping, so I don’t have time to play find the product I’m looking for. I recently signed-up for free samples of John Frieda’s products. I love the John Frieda Radiant Red Luminous Color Glaze, Brighter, Vivid Red so, I thought I would try John Frieda Luxurious Volume All-Out Hairspray. There was a coupon for $2.00 off in Sunday’s coupons and when I went to Target, there was a $1.00 off coupon attached to the bottle. Saving $3.00, how could I pass up? After washing and air...

Shrink Pores and Eliminate Blackheads with One Dab

Many of us suffer from deep pores. Unfortunately, the pores become clogged leading to unsightly blackheads and acne. Often we use drug store products that pull-out blackheads, but do nothing to shrink pores or eliminate blackheads. We’ve all looked at the nose strip full of blackheads wishing there was a way to keep new ones from appearing. For years I have used Biore’s nose strips hoping to unclog my pores. A few days later, the same pores would be clogged again with unsightly blackheads, Yuck! After I used my free samples from Mario Badescu, I purchased the Acne Control Kit and Silver Powder. The Silver Powder is an oil absorbent powder that unclogs pores and eliminates blackheads. The Silver Powder directions seemed too simple. All I did was dip a damp cotton ball in the powder and press it on my nose, chin and forehead. 10 minutes passed by...

Beautiful Radiant Red Hair

11.08.09

Keeping red hair a vibrant hue is difficult. It is the fastest color to fade. I recently dyed my hair from golden blond, to a rich radiant auburn. I love it! I have green eyes and fair skin. The red really makes my eyes pop. I changed my hair color for several reasons. I have long hair and refuse to cut it. An easy way to change the look, color it. Voila! New style. I also switched colors as a way to save money in this down economy. No visible re-growth means fewer trips to the salon. Cha-Ching! My wonderful stylist Brooke did an amazing job. When I went in for the transformation, the lady at the station next to me was questioning my choice of going red. I wasn’t worried, I was excited. Brooke wanted to surprise me and not show my new hair until everything was finished....
