image001-11

For  Mother’s Day, in select salons around the U.S., evo is offering a complimentary self indulgence body crème with the purchase of any two evo products.  For Mom, we suggest two favorites-evo’s water killer dry shampoo and love perpetua shine drops. Tie it with a salon gift card and you’ve got one great gift for Mother’s Day!

Unknown-56

When shopping for your  evo products at evohair.com, consider a gift from their unique hair care line. Evo has a vast array of products to offer and their wesite is fun and easy to navigate. Once you pick you product, for example “hair”, you then choose your “need”, I chose “curly hair” and I had a few options to choose from. I chose liquid rollers curl balm.

liquid rollers curl balm was the perfect choice for me. Recommended for those with curly or frizzy hair, the balm is applied to damp hair and will hold your curls while protecting against frizz. end doctor smoothing sealant was also recommended in the curly hair line. end doctor, a smoothing sealant, can be applied to damp or dry hair and I especially like that it is a leave trearment. end doctor helps to mend broken strands and protects the hair from heat and uv damage. end doctor was just what evo ordered for my hair type and they couldn’t be more RIGHT!

Evo has a hair care produt for every hair type. If you have dry, frizzy or color treated hair, take it from me, the therapist calming shampoo and conditioner is what you need. Your hair will be cleansed, moisturized and looking fantastic! easy tiger smoothing fluid with help smooth, straighten and calm those flyaways that often have your hair looking untidy.

You will be amazed at the product line and what evo has to offer. You will find products for your hair, face, body, tools, travel and fabuloso. If you want to know what fabuloso is you will have to go to http://evohair.com/au/products/fabuloso

Celine Dion’s new Fragrance is SENSATIONAL

images-11

Singing the lyrics of Titanic, “My Heart Will Go On”, I decided to try Sensational. Sensational Eau de Toilette Spray is a dynamic floral fragrance by the famous Las Vegas ballad, Celine Dion, created by the famous perfumer Maurice Roucel. This perfume evokes the power and magnetic charisma of Celine Dion herself. Top notes consist of icy pear, crisp apple and plum with a heart of are orris, mimosa (Dion’s favorite flower) jasmine and freesia, with base notes of elegant amber, musk and sandalwood which makes a very fresh, bright combination.  It has a very light, floral scent that is not overpowering but lasts all day. With such a diverse collection of ingredients, Celine Dion Sensational is a special “everyday” scent, sweet, subtle, and feminine, perfect  for a casual day, to wear at school, work or any occasion.  The 2008  perfume launch coincided with Celine Dion’s tour called Taking Chances.  A wonderful Mother’s Day present because this icon touches the soul of many women, not only with her captivating voice but now with her fragrances!

Celebrity Stylists Beware, Amika Obliphica Blow Up Spray is Here

 image005-2
Amika Blow Up Spray  is one of the best hair products on the market!!!! My hair is thick and curly and on my shelf, I have many products to maintain and moisturize my curly ringlets. The present style, however, is straight, glossy hair. There are ten spray bottles to curl or straighten my hair falling off my vanity. Every day, I rifle through the many bottles to help give my hair the moisture and shine for the desired look of the day. My husband shakes his head and cannot believe the amount of money and different products it takes to make my hair look beautiful. Every time I go to the hairdresser, they offer to sell me another product expected to do miraculous things to my hair. The confusion, shopping and money with all these products were making me crazy until I found Amika Blow Up Spray. The spray delivers volume and shape while moisturizing your hair. I could not believe the results, and literally threw away ten spray bottles.          
 
My friends came over for the holiday and I was very excited to show them the results of the Amika Blow Up Spray. My hair was beginning to look flat, as it had become late in the afternoon. I bent my head over and sprayed each section and this revolutionary Ultra-lightweight mist brought my hair back to life. My friends were laughing and said it looked like a celebrity hairstylist transformed my hair in one-minute. The spray is easy to apply, not greasy, adds volume and lasts a long time.  My favorite ingredient the sea buckthorn berry in the product helps to repair split ends and eliminate frizz.  The argon oil vitamin C, Omega 3, 6, and 9 make it safe to use on color-treated hair.  Amika Blow Up Spray has helped me to become clutter free, I only need this spray for curly or straight hair!!!

Attack the Frizz and Bring Back the FAT CURLS

fatcurls-aboutcomp

When I read “DEFY THE FRIZZ” on a  Fat Curls Hair Care product, I thought to myself, “Could this be true?” Will I really find the curls underneath the frizz? I must admit, I have had an easy time with my hair this winter and did not have to deal with too much frizz. Now that the warm weather is upon us, that means rainy, hot and humid days and FRIZZ, FRIZZ and more FRIZZ! Fat Curls has a product line that will attack the frizz and bring back the curls. I have found two hair products in the Fat Curls line that is doing a beautiful job tackling my frizz. Fat Curls Defining Gel and Fat Curls Reactivating Spray.

Fat Curls Defining Gel is working quite well for me. I have dry, color treated hair and Fat Curls Defining Gel has definitely helped with bringing my curls back to life. After washing my hair, I apply a small amount of the gel on my damp hair and scrunch it in and I let my hair air dry, you can blow dry too,  the results are amazing!  This lightweight curl gel will restore and condition your curls from roots to ends. My hair is left with soft, shiny curls, I love it!

Fat Curls states that their  Defining Gel contains “Macadamia Seed Oil and Taurine to restore moisture, repair damaged hair and protect curls against heat damage. Fat Curls Gel is the frizz-control solution whether your hair is naturally curly, permed or wavy.” Fat Curl Defining Gel works great on naturally curly, permed or wavy hair.

Another of my favorites from  Fat Curls  is the Reactivating Spray. There are days when I need to touchup my hair and liven up my curls and Fat Curls Reactivating Spray does just that. I like it because It doesn’t create build-up and my hair isn’t sticky at the end of the day.

Fat Curls Reactivating Spray also contains Macadamia Seed Oil and Taurine helping  to restore moisture, repair damaged hair and protect curls against heat damage. This spray contains keratin protein as well to help strengthen hair fiber. Fat Curls Reactivating Spray will definitely control your  the frizz and bring out the curls you know are hiding, waiting to spring out.  You can use the spray on damp or dry hair, air dry or blow dry and touch-up as often as needed.

I found  some great information about Taurine found in Fat Curls at http://fatcurls.com/about.php

Taurine

Taurine

Hair is made of protein. Taurine penetrates into the hair to repair and strengthen each hair shaft. The result is healthier, manageable, bouncy hair, which can seal in moisture and color.

Curl Creating Mousse and Curl Enhancing Creme are 2 other products in the Fat Curls line and if they are just as amazing as the gel and the spray, Fat Curls is here to stay.

Fat Curls can be found at http://fatcurls.com/purchase.php, KERR DRUG, Kroger and Rite Aid.

No Fuss, All Fun With Hot Buns

NO FUSS                           ALL FUN                            HOT BUNS

Hot Buns is a unique hair accessory. I liked the fact that I could create a voluminous bun that I would not be able to create otherwise. Hot Buns was easy to use and with a little practice you will be able to have a perfect, chic bun in less than a minute. Just roll, snap and wrap, that’s all there is to it. Normally, when I make a bun in my hair for dance class, I use 4 to 6 bobby pins to keep my bun in place. With Hot buns, say good-bye to bobby pins. If I can create a perfect bun with Hot Buns, you can easily do it too.

My package of Hot Buns came in two sizes, small and medium. I used the medium size as you can see in my photos above. Hot Buns are available in light and dark shades.

Just    ROLL                         SNAP                               and  WRAP

To see the full video, go to  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH3YsVHVGL8&feature=player_embedded#!
