Ardency Inn Modster Eyeliners are Amazing!!

IMG_0372

“The Ardency Inn Modster Eyeliner Trio Eyeliner pencils are among the best eyeliners I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. The Eyeliner Trio pack I got came with blue, black, and gold eyeliner pencils. When I first put it on, I noticed that the eyeliner has extremely rich pigmentations that really makes the eyeliner look really bold and kept the color and wear long lasting for extended periods of time. I ended up wearing my eyeliner all afternoon and all night and I noticed it looked nearly the same as when I first applied it. Plus, these eyeliners are waterproof which means you don’t have to worry about it smudging while you wear it. And on top of all this, each color can be coordinated to match your look or personal style. So if you would like bold, long wear, waterproof eyeliner, give Ardency Inn Modster Eyeliner Trio a chance!”

Ardency Innholiday kits are also available at ardencyinn.com!   Both eyeliner kits include exclusive colors that are not available for individual sale until spring 2015. I wouldn’t mind finding some Ardency Inn Modster Eyeliners in my stocking Santa!!!!

Fill your Stockings with Colorful and Fun Hair Accessories by Scunci

unnamed-14
Scunci Hair Accessories have been the number one leader in hair fashion and affordable hair accessories for over twenty years! From simple elastics to the latest technology of their no slip grip headbands, Scunci quality has always been the best in my eyes. You can always rely on Scunci to design a good product and more importantly a comfortable one!!!

I love the Scunci Everyday & Active Headwraps line. They are super comfy and don’t make my head sweat. I wear them when I work out, wash my face and when I garden. When I am having a bad hair day and I need to tame my hair, I just throw one on and in a flash my hair looks stylish! The performance and premium fabric makes them super comfortable for all head sizes and the elasticity last forever. I run 4 to 6 miles per day and always wear the Scunci Everyday & Active Headwraps to keep my hair away from my face. I cannot live without them! They don’t slide up or down on my head. They have a no slip grip so they actually stay in place and I can enjoy my run and not be focusing on my headband falling off! I throw them into my washing machine to wash them because I use them all the time and they still maintained their elasticity. Love them!!! Scunci Everyday & Active Headwraps come in assortment of pretty colors. Some are even designed to be reversible to match any outfit!

The Scunci Everyday & Active Hair Ties are also play a big part in my life! I rely on hair ties everyday, that is why I choose Scunci Everyday & Active Hair Ties. Not only do you get a generous amount of hair ties per package but they are damage free with no annoying metal pieces in them to pull out your hair. They are thick so they don’t snap like thinner elastics do. If Scunci Everyday & Active Hair Ties can hold my thick hair while I run, jump rope, and crossfit train, they can hold anyone’s hair firmly in place! They are strong and pretty!!! Plus some of the Everyday & Active Hair Ties have light reflecting patterns. They look like the reflects on a bike light or guide post you see along the road. Super strong but very gentle on my hair. They come in a variety of pretty colors! My favorite hair ties are the No-Slip Flat Reflective/Ponytailers. With the flat design and no slip technology, they create a bold statement – not your basic kid elastic!

They are so comfortable and good looking!No matter how tough my workout gets or my daily life, I know I can count on Scunci Hair Accessories to do the job right! I love them so much that I am filling my daughter’s stocking and attaching them to the bows of my nieces gifts!   scunci hair accessories can be found in mist retail and drugstores nationwide

Enjoy Soft and Luxurious Hair with Arganesse

unnamed

I have been enjoying fantastic results from Arganesse, an amazing “leave-in”  hair treatment recently introduced to the beauty market. This amazing oil will surely have your hair looking luxurious as ever. It only took a small amount of Arganesse, which I massaged into my towel dried hair for its magic to work. To my amazement the results were immediate. When my hair dried, it was so soft to the touch, my curls were bouncy and soft and the frizz was nowhere to be found. I am always a little shy to put oils in my hair because I am always afraid of the oily look. I can assure you that Arganesse left no greasy after effects.

As stated by Arganesse, “For centuries, this highly-prized, rare Moroccan oil has been used to protect hair and skin from harsh desert conditions. High in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, argan oil alone naturally hydrates for silky, shiny, frizz-free hair. Unfortunately, it also leaves hair a bit greasy. Arganesse controls the frizz, repairs, and rehydrates while adding shine and eliminating oiliness. Arganesse obtains this by blending argan oil with the perfect combination of complementary ingredients resulting in a winning secret formula.”

Arganesse Hair Treatment is perfect if you have over styled, dry and  brittle hair like I do. I saw immediate results and my hair really does feel wonderful. Formulated with Argan Oil or “Liquid gold”,  Arganesse not only repairs but restores important nutrients such as Vitamin E, Omega 3 and 9 fatty acids that are essential for healthy looking hair. Arganesse is also formulated with Linoleic and Oleic Acid helping to hydrate and lock in moisture.  Arganesse can be used on any hair type, thick, thin, curly or straight and will deliver amazing results.

Unknown-1

Arganesse Hair Treatment is offered in an elegant glass bottle and is beautifully packaged in a soft cloth bag which is perfect for gift giving. Arganesse will make an exquisite gift this holiday season or for any occasion. Visit arganesse.com and order your bottle today.

Did you know that:

**”Argan oil comes from a tree that has survived heat, drought, poor soil, and harsh conditions for centuries. Grown exclusively in southwestern Morocco, the argan tree produces fruit with a green, fleshy exterior similar to an olive, but larger and rounder. The nut inside has an extremely hard shell, which is cracked by hand to extract one, two or three precious almond-shaped kernels. Using traditional methods to transform these kernels into argan oil takes time – up to 20 hours to make just one liter. Women use sharp stones to crack the shells, then grind the kernels between slabs of rock to create a paste. Finally, they knead the paste by hand to extract the golden-hued oil. High in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, pure argan oil moisturizes skin, adds a frizz-free shine to hair, and even tastes great drizzled over salad or couscous.

Over many generations, the native women of Morocco have perfected the art of producing argan oil. To protect this tradition, the Moroccan government established a fund enabling women’s cooperatives to compete in a global marketplace and earn a fair wage. Women from nearby villages are invited to work half days, so they can still tend to their families.

In addition to reducing poverty, the women’s collectives ensure good working conditions, provide education to members, and promote communication and cooperation among women from different villages. Perhaps most important for women, earning an income and participating in business decisions promotes strong self confidence, resulting in an improved social position in the male-dominated regions of rural Morocco. A portion of all Arganesse sales goes to this collective.”

I created a few gifts for a few special people and all I needed was a tree and a little Hard Candy, Hard Candy Cosmetics that is. If you don’t already know, Hard Candy  has hundreds of items in their beauty line. Hard Candy not only has 45 brand new shades of nail polishes, they also carry products for your skin, eyes and lips. Hard candy offers cosmetics that shimmer, glitter and dazzle. While at a recent trip to Walmart, I found Hard Candy Cosmetics in the form of ornaments and decided to decorate a few trees. The lip gloss Disco Balls added the perfect touch to my tree.

Hard Candy also has gift sets that are perfect for holiday gift giving. I actually used a set of eyeliners and individually tied them to the trees. Hard Candy Cosmetics are extremely affordable with many of the items costing less than $5. At their website, hardcandy.com/videos/glittery-glam-eyes/,  spend some time viewing their terrific how-to videos which teach you the perfect technique for applying Hard Candy Cosmetics. Enjoy your holidays and I hope you get to enjoy a little Hard Candy.

The life saver for the makeup junkie; The Beauty Butler

Are you a makeup junkie but yet always seem to lose your favorite makeup product? I know I do. Or are you always searching through your cluttered makeup bag and can’t find anything? It seems no matter how hard we try to organize, label and even separate our most used makeup products we tend to always lose them. Not only that but I have also wasted so much money on buying new products because the minute I buy something new I find the old product I had replaced. Isn’t that a very familiar story?
