“Love Your Hair” With Jane Carter Hair Solution

logo

I was recently telling a friend of mine, when I was a teenager, I did everything in my power to fight my curly hair. All I wanted was straight hair like all my other friends. Today, I love my curls and I am always on the lookout for curl enhancing shampoos, conditioners, gels, you name it, I’ll try it. My friend told me about Jane Carter Solution and how amazing their products are and she was absolutely right, Jane Carter Solution is amazing!

If you love your curls and want to whole world to know it, try Jane Carter Solution’s NEW Natural & Curly Hair Care Essential Kit. This is the best way to sample Jane Carter Solution’s hair products. Jane Carter Solution has several kits to choose from and are perfect for traveling. All of the products in the kits are available in full sizes. http://www.janecartersolution.com/shop-hair-care-products.html. I am achieving fantastic results from the products included in the Natural & Curly Hair Care Essential Kit .

Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo is sulfate free and contains humectants (a substance used to keep things moist), with a delightful scent of peppermint to invigorate your scalp. After shampooing, the Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner is essential because it works at making your hair stronger offering greater elasticity.

Revitalizing Leave-in-Conditioner is a must have, especially if you style your hair with hot appliances. This product seals in moisture and acts as a protective barrier against heat and sun damage.

I was very impressed with Wrap & Roll. This is a mousse that, once applied to damp hair, allows you to set, wrap and smooth leaving you with amazing styling results. Wrap & Roll also helps tame frizz. Did I  mention that your hair will be left with an incredible shine?

I must say that my favorite item in the kit is the Curl Defining Cream. This is one of the best curling creams I have ever used. This all-natural curl cream is designed to lengthen and define your curls leaving you with soft, bouncy, shiny curls and that’s exactly what it did. I Applied  the Curl Cream to damp hair and I scrunched away. As my hair air dried, the curl cream worked its magic!

Let’s not forget about  Nourish and Shine. This 100% Natural Shae Butter based cream is a  blend of all-natural vitamins and essential oils that melts in your hair and adds amazing shine without leaving your hair greasy or flat. Nourish and Shine is perfect for your hair or skin and smells fabulous. I am using it on my cuticles and my hands look great.

Color Wow, Is it Ever!

 

Unknown-2

When I shop around for hair care products I concentrate mainly on products that enhance my curly hair and products that help me keep my dry frizzy hair at bay. Did I mention that I also have color treated hair? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could keep my hair looking rich and dark brown without it turning brassy colored midway after my hair color treatment? Recently while driving, I was looking in the rear view mirror, it was a sunny day and I noticed my hair was looking like an orangey mess when my hair color should be brown.

2259604

I am pleased to tell you that Color Wow Brass Banned Mousse is doing a phenomenal job keeping my hair color in check in between colorings. I saw immediate results just after one use, I was amazed. My hair went from orangey brown and perked right up to to a nice rich brown, a color I could easily live with. My hair looks fantastic.

You might ask yourself, why does my hair turn brassy colored weeks after coloring? Color Wow explains that, “Brown dyes can oxidize over time turning rich brunette tones reddish or orange”.

Color Wow Brass Banned Mousse is not a shampoo, but a mousse that is applied to your damp hair right after washing and conditioning. I used my standard curling gel afterwards and my hair color was not affected. Color Wow Brass Banned Mousse for dark hair (which is the color I am using) is a teal-tinted formula which counteracts harsh orangey/red brassy tones. This non-alcohol formula will not dry out your hair but will correct color and perfect style.  “Specially blended polymers give hair “guts” and bounce. Color Wow Restores richness and depth to give you that color “wow factor”. This amazing mousse is also formulated with plasticizers for added flexibility helping to eliminate stiffness, which is often the case with other mousse formulas which harden and stiffen hair.

Color Wow is easy to use, simply hold the can upside down and dispense into the palm of your hand. Apply evenly to damp hair and style as usual. Color Wow Brass Banned Mousse is available in 2 colors, Dark Brown and Blonde. Did I mention that my curls and color look better than ever! Color Wow was definitely a WOW for me.

At colorwowhair.com you will also find other fabulous products that will do wonders for your color treated hair. I can’t decide what Color Wow product to try next, I’ll be sure to let you know.

The Perfect Father’s Day Gift “GUESS Seductive Homme”

Unknown-9

This Father’s Day, if you are looking to find the perfect fragrance to honor the man in your life, consider a dynamite men’s scent called “GUESS Seductive Homme”. This is a fragrance designed exclusively for men. My husband gave it a thumbs up, and coming from a guy who only favors a few fragrances, this is a big compliment. I loved it too!!  The fragrance has a  masculine, appealing scent, one I absolutely adore.  The bottle is very appealing as  well.  A weighted gunmetal colored cap gives the bottle a distinct masculine appeal.

You  will find this bold and attractive scent in an After Shave Balm, Deodorant Stick and  Deodorant Body Spray. The perfect Father’s Day Gift!

Please visit  www.coty.com for additional information on their entire fragrance line.

Nautica Aqua Rush Gold gets a Thumbs Up This Father’s Day

Unknown-4

The scent of Nautica Aqua Rush Gold was recently given a thumbs up by my 19 year old son Sam.  He said “This is a great Father’s Day Gift for Dad”, and I agreed. He proceeded to say “I really like the smell, can I have it for myself?”. Well, how could I say no? Both my son and my husband are extremely picky when it comes to choosing their fragrances. Unlike the girls in the house, once the guys find a fragrance they like, they use it until the bottle is empty. I think it’s always nice to have a variety of fragrances, so now my son is the proud owner of a bottle of Nautica Aqua Rush Gold.

Nautica Aqua Rush Gold is “A bold fragrance created in the spirit of the authentic waterman, who has a passion for the water and an active lifestyle. Nautica Aqua Rush Gold, like its predecessor Nautica Aqua Rush, is a scent that embodies nautical adventure, and the exhilaration you get from being out in the water.” Nautica Aqua Rush Gold, “created by perfumer Joachim Correll of Symrise, Nautica Aqua Rush Gold is a masculine, citrus, woody scent enhanced with marine notes that create a compelling and thoroughly captivating mélange. Brisk, bold and alluring, Nautica Aqua Rush Gold is a rich yet subtle aroma.”

“The website http://www.nautica.com/ describes the fragrance perfectly, “This dynamic scent opens with a fresh burst of Lime, Pitanga and Seaweed Accord with invigorating top notes that blend with Pink Peppercorn, Waterlily and Jasmine Flower. The fragrance dries down to an addictive blend of Vetiver, Amber and Sandalwood.

Even though Nautica Aqua Rush Gold was created in the spirit of the authentic waterman in mind (the perfume bottle itself resembles a sailboat), the good news is that men don’t have to have a love for the sea or live an adventurous lifestyle to enjoy the rich bold scent of Nautica Rush Aqua Gold. It truly is a man’s scent and it might just bring out his adventurous side. Nautica Aqua Rush Gold  smells fabulous, if my son thinks it’s a great scent, my husband will too, I’m sure if it.

Well, it’s time to go pick up another Nautica Aqua Rush Gold for my husband for Father’s Day.

Available at www.nautica.com/, Macy’s department stores and other fine retailers nationwide.

Nautica Aqua Rush Gold Fragrance Collection includes the Eau de Toilette 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml $65,  Eau de Toilette 1.7 fl. oz./50 ml$49, Deodorant Body Spray 4.0 oz./114g$10 and in most department stores you will find this collection in a gift set.

Lady Gaga “FAME” is Totally Captivating

theperfumespot_2260_10203865

 

Lady Gaga has just released an incredible, new fragrance  Lady Gaga Fame. The egg shaped perfume bottle alone is stunning with a  gold piece resembling a “claw” adorning the bottle.The perfume itelf  is black and when sprayed into the air, is colorless, very dramatic like Lady Gaga herself.

The fragrance is just as captivating as the perfume bottle. Lady Gaga Fame, her first signature fragrance Eau de Parfum is exceptional. The fragrance was quite different than what I expected.  This is just my opinion, but I expected something very strong and tenacious. Instead, this striking fragrance was very delicate and sweet, my daughter is definitely not getting hers hands on this one!

Lady Gaga Fame ia a black parfum and is the first of its kind in that the fluid is black and once sprayed, is invisible. Lady Gaga’s Fame has a floral, fruity scent with notes of Incense, Belladonna, Apricot, Honey, Tiger Orchidea and Jasmine Samac.

Lady Gaga Fame is available in a Rollerball, Shower Gel and Body Lotion. At Macy’s, I found Lady Gaga Fame Gift Set, which includes Eau de Parfum, Body Lotion and a Rollerball.

Lady Gaga Fame is an exquisite scent and once you sample it at the perfume counter you will be out the door with your Fame in hand. Lady Gaga Fame is available at Sephora and  in Fine Department Stores Nationwide.

The Caviar of Skincare, RG-CELL

slider11

You must agree, skincare technology has come a long way. Fortunately, we are given an abundance of information about the newest technologies, helping us choose the most appropriate skincare to suit our individual skincare needs. Timeslip Solutions has recently introduced a new technologically advanced, concentrated  restorative serum, RG-Cell. What is so unique about RG-Cell is that it contains a unique blend of stem cell activators designed to target and protect your skin and fight visible signs of aging. RG-Cell is suitable for all skin types, a definite plus in my book.

With just a few drops a day, I am on my way to beautiful, more youthful looking skin. I love the fact that with only one drop of RG-Cell, I am able to cover my entire face. I am currently using RG-Cell once daily, right after washing my face.  You can apply RG-Cell twice daily (AM and PM) if you are experiencing problematic areas on your skin, such as scarring or injured skin which needs healing quickly.

As stated on their website rg-cell.com, “RG-Cell Concentrated Restorative Serum is the perfect, powerful proprietary blend of skin conditioning messenger molecules which penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin structure. They awaken our old dormant stem cells, teaching them new tricks on how to differentiate, proliferate and migrate to areas of imperfect and aging skin. This renewal process protects, conditions and restores our skin thereby, delaying the onset of age related skin damage.” 

Recently patented Technology effectively guarantees that that RG-Cell penetrates deeply into the skin, reaching the basal layer where the stem cell resides. RG-Cell founder, Dr. Luiza Petre states that “The formula awakens dormant stem cells, teaching them new tricks on how to differentiate, proliferate and migrate to areas of imperfect and aging skin”. “By stimulating fibroblast production of collagen, skin’s firmness and elasticity increases while the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced for smoother, radiant and more youthful-looking skin.”

RG-Cell contains all natural ingredients and you can find the entire list at rg-cell.com/rg-cell-ingredients. What caught my eye was that RG-Cell contains CAVIAR. Caviar is rich in vitamins and absorbs well without any allergic reactions. Caviar also stimulates the regeneration of the skin, possess antioxidant qualities and protects against harmful UV damage. Research and Scientific studies can be found at http://rg-cell.com/research/.

Studies have concluded the following:

* Ingredients have been scientifically shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles over time —

75% of clients reported reduced redness and less irritation to applied areas of dried, damaged skin IN JUST 5 DAYS

75% of clients showed improved skin elasticity and firmness IN JUST 2 WEEKS

90 % of clients showed a significant increase in moisture retention IN JUST 4 WEEKS

80 %of clients said their skin’s overall appearance was improved and healthier-looking IN JUST 4 WEEKS

Available online via www.rg-cell.com , delivery is free and there is a discount on monthly orders.
