Summer Hair From Joico and a GIVEAWAY

I’ve been using a little duo from Joico this summer and both have been keeping my favorite sleek and straight hair style in business. Using a flatiron can be a little hard on the hair, so this conditioner/protectant duo keeps my hair healthy and style lasting longer than ever despite the warm days.

Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment – Some serious pool time has left the ends of my hair a little dry. This little five-minute treatment strengthen and rebuilds. While my hair isn’t treated at all, this would be ideal for those who have had processed hair. My hair was left silky soft without being greasy. The healthy and shiny finish made my bone straight styling looking better than ever!

Joico Humidity Blocker – While I am not usually one for a ton of hairspray, even my fine hair can be sometimes prone to humidity causing frizz. This blocking spray creates a barrier around each strand of hair to fight against unwanted volume. I also love using it during the end of the day to revitalize a slightly puffy effect on my long and fine hair. The formula contains Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex to help nourish and strength hair as well, leading to a shiny and healthy look. Not to mention with a great, clean scent.

Now your chance to win in another GIVEAWAY! Are you guys going through Revenge withdrawals like me? This video features Ashley Madekwe and a “Summer Style Session” by Joico’s International Artistic Director Damien Carney. Beachy waves straight ahead!

NEW: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser and GIVEAWAY

Sometimes I feel like Goldylocks with my cleansers. One doesn’t foam enough. Another is a touch too drying. And another one doesn’t quite get all my makeup off. Well, hot off the presses is a new cleanser from Neutrogena and this one has beauty editors singing praises. I can see why because it does everything I ask of a cleanser.

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser is formulated with a patented technology that can remove 99% of excess oil, dirt and even makeup, while preserving the skin’s delicate moisture barrier. The formula is clear and can whip up to a fairly good lather. I can only detect a very light and pleasant fragrance. All my makeup other than some stubborn mascara comes right off with just a standard wash. And when you rinse it away, there is no tightness or dryness. It rinses clean, so no residue to clog pores.

According to dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman, “My patients often complain they have to choose between their skin feeling clean or feeling moist. The key is finding a cleanser that doesn’t disrupt skin’s delicate moisture barrier to leave skin not only clean, but also feeling soft and never too dry or too tight.” Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser, the little workhorse, can do all of this. Not to mention, leave skin perfectly prepped for any skin care treatments applied post cleansing.

Neutrogena came up with a fun little quiz to help you put your cleanser against their new Gentle Daily Cleanser. Pop over and take the cleansing assessment here. If you are one of the first 5,000 people to sign up, you’ll get a free sample! Check out my assessment here:

I’m so enthusastic about the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser, I wanted to share the love. I’ve teamed up with Neutrogena for a special chance for three of you lucky readers to try out their new cleanser. Enter using the widget below. US Only.

Ken Paves’ You Are Beautiful Signed Copy GIVEAWAY

I’ve had my nose in Ken Paves’ new book, You Are Beautiful, for the past couple of weeks. While I always was a fan, I admit I didn’t know too much about his background. Wow – what a story. His Detroit roots and career journey are certainly inspirational. After an introduction to what Ken is all about, he dives in loads of easy beauty tips.

What makes this book different is Ken covers advice for all. He references his work with women of all ages, ethnicities, shapes, and sizes. I particularly love this time-saving styling tips and quick fixes in an emergency. He doesn’t stop there… the book also touches on makeup and clothes. Not to mention a little guest chapter by Sara Lucero, celebrity makeup artist for Stila Cosmetics (one of my absolute faves).

In case you aren’t familiar with Ken, he’s a true celebrity stylist. He’s worked with Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, and Victoria Beckham. His work has appeared in such magazines as Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, O The Oprah Magazine, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, GQ, and In Style.

You can purchase the book here. But just for you readers… I am giving away one signed copy! Just enter using the widget below. US Only.

Kerastase’s Cristalliste Salon Visit and GIVEAWAY

A couple weeks ago, I was invited to experience Kerastase’s best-selling Cristalliste line, specifically designed for women with long hair. Could that be any more up my alley? So, I was off to a local salon here that carries the Kerastase line of hair products – a brand I was a fan of but hadn’t had too much of a chance to check out yet. As a note Tulsa folks, Jara Herron is a spot you don’t want to miss. I can’t wait to try out their spa and I was highly impressed with the salon.

I knew that this wasn’t going to be just any ordinary blow out, since I was experiencing one of the nicest salons in town and with a master stylist. After a great consultation with Shawna, we decided the best way to go “glam” was old Hollywood waves. I was excited to see what the Cristalliste line could do with my normally stubborn and straight hair.

But first up was the Fusio Dose treatment – which I can honestly say I never wanted to end. After shampooing, a custom treatment was applied to my hair with a massage and then combed through. The Cristalliste Hair Mask was also used for conditioning and to prep for styling.

Off the bat, I was enamored with the scent of the Cristalliste line – it was clean and not overly floral and feminine – just up my alley. As Shawna blew out my hair, I found it was silkier and shinier than I am used to. After that, while styling, Shawna used the Lumiere Liquide – a kind of shine serum. I was worried it would become stiff or weigh down my fine hair. But it definitely did neither. My hair was left weightless and full of bounce.

But the real treat was when the pinned curls were released to show a significant, bouncy wave in my otherwise straight hair. My hair smelled amazing and was styled in a way I frankly didn’t think was possible. The waves held up through a long night out. Now I can say Hollywood Glam really does work for me!

And here’s your chance to win the entire Kerastase Cristalliste product line… not to mention a fabulous Erin Fetherston Embellished Drape Dress ($395 value and available in a size 4 or 6). So, that’s a giveaway worth over $500!!! US Only and enter using the widget below:
