Tony Ties Make the Perfect Pony Tails

unnamed-6

unnamed-5

Don’t you hate those ugly red marks you get from wearing a hair elastic around your wrist? Well you won’t have to worry about that with Tony Ties by Mia Beauty! They are fashionable and practical. They can be used as a ponytailer or a bracelet. Instead of wearing a black plain hair elastic around your wrist Tony Ties come in all different colors and patterns. Because they are thicker than regular ponytailers, they hold your hair in all day long, and they look great on your wrist…. Without leaving any red marks!! I went to the beach last week wearing them on my wrist because they matched my bathing suit, but as soon as I went in the ocean, I used the Tony Ties to put my hair in a bun. Another great quality of these ties is that they do not leave a crease in your hair after you take your hair down. These ties would be a great gift for girls of any age, from children, teens, and adults! You can find a variety of options including neon and glitter ties at  www.miabeauty.com

Selena’s look can be yours with John Frieda Frizz Ease

Teen Choice Awards 2014 - Arrivals

INSPIRATION: Selena’s very tailored Saint Laurent suit

GET THE LOOK: This look “weaves confident, youthful, sexy, a hint of bold, but still very sweet,” said celebrity stylist Lona Vigi

  • To start, Vigi misted Selena’s hair with an Evian atomizer in order to prep her hair and keep it in the cleanest condition.
  • Next, she applied a dime sized amount of the John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Six Effects Serum into her hands, and rubbed them together before going into Selena’s hair, starting at the roots and pulling all the way to the ends. “This serum is like a BB Cream for the hair,” said Vigi. “It covers so many vital bases that you end up using multiple products for, instead you can cut all of that out of the equation and just have this one master product.”
  • In the front, Vigi sprayed John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray while the hair was still damp in order to keep all the little baby hairs around the frame of the face tamed down.
  • Then, while blowing drying on a medium heat with the Harry Josh Pro Tools Dryer, Vigi sprayed the hair continuously to ensure the hair stayed back into the ponytail.
  • Next Vigi clipped the hair up and took super small sections and went over them with a flat iron, getting as close to the scalp as possible.
  • Vigi created a center part and then gathered Selena’s hair by the nape of her neck to create the ponytail. Once it was secure, she patted John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon TouchUp Creme into the ponytail so that it looked extra strong and shiny. “We wanted the ponytail to be the accessory to her look,” said Vigi.
  • As a final touch, Lona secured the ponytail with a long, black ribbon.

Bodycology is Naughty and Nice

unnamed-15

Bodycology Naughty and Nice Sweet Seduction is one of my favorite mists and lotions for the summertime. The fresh petals and apple fragrance is so fruity and cool so it’s great for when the weather is humid and you want to feel refreshed. After I get out of the shower, I usually apply the lotion to my legs and arms and when I leave the house I will spray the mist on my neck. The cream really moisturizers my legs and if you love cocoa, shea, and jojoba butters, this is the lotion for you. The fragrance of the mist and body lotion last for quite a while, too. Another great thing is that these products are made in the USA! The mist and the lotion would make a great gift for a loved one, and they can be found at drugstores or Walmart and Target for only around $3 to $5.

Su-Kari Body Butter Mango Coconut Whips your Dull Skin into Healthy Skin!

 SU-KARI-LOGO

Have you ever heard of Su-Kari?  Su-Kari Inc is a new line of handcrafted skincare products designed to promote healthy skin.  It makes your skin look healthy and feel healthy too!  Su-Kari carefully crafts their products in small batches to ensure and control exceptional quality and consistency.  Their line of products include brown sugar scrubs, foot scrubs, body butters, and body oils.  I purchased Su-Kari Body Butter Mango Coconut scent online.  I loved the results….. when you first open the container, you quickly notice how whipped and fluffy the body butter is.  Then I applied, the butter melts and absorbs easily into your skin, helping to condition and soften quickly.  It smooth my cracked, dehydrated skin instantly unlike other butters which literally look like Crisco in a jar and are so hard to rub into the skin taking forever to get the grease off so I won’t stain anything I touch.

SUKARI-MANGO_COCONUT_BODY_BUTTER_1024x1024-e1392992833752

Su-Kari Body Butter Mango Coconut is a rich, whipped, creamy and non-greasy blend of organic African shea butter, mango butter coconut oil, jojoba oil, and Vitamin E.  The Vitamin E, obviously, is excellent for helping your skin repair itself from scars or just daily environmental pollution and provides antioxidants.  This body butter left my skin supple, well nourished and smooth which lasted throughout the day unless I washed it off.  I now use it daily, and a little goes a long way!  I love the amazing scent.  Su-Kari Body Butter has other fantastic scents:  Chocolate Almond Biscotti, Cotton Blossom, Jasmine Vanilla, Lavender Vanilla, Peaches & Cream, Pina Colada, Strawberry Delight, and Stretch Mark Eraser.  Su-Kari Body Butter Mango Coconut is a skin therapy for me….. improving and moisturizing my skin, not too sweet or overpowering smell – love the coconut scent!  Su-Kari Body Butter made my dull dry skin look simply amazing without chemicals, parabens, or artificial preservatives.  Looking forward to purchasing other products in the Su-Kari line.  Available at www.su-kari.com

Give Cleansing a Fruity Twist with Burts Bees Grapefruit Towelettes

220

I am a big fan of Burts Bees lip balm so I was excited when I got the pink grapefruit facial cleansing towelettes to try. Since I got them I use them every night before I shower and go to bed. They remove my eye makeup very easily and I have noticed that they also remove dirt and oil very well. I trust them and love using them on my face because they are 99.1% natural. These wipes are also very versatile because they can be used on normal to oily skin. The pink grapefruit scent is lovely and keeps your face smelling clean. There are 30 wipes in this package and they will never dry out because the package has a plastic case that closes to prevent them from drying out. I have been using these wipes every night, and my face hasn’t dried out. I would definitely recommend these and they can be bought at drugstores, ulta, and online at burtsbees.com for around 6 dollars.
