The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift From L’Occitane

P-3.aspx

L’Occitane has become one of my favorite beauty lines, offing amazing skincare products as well as a multitude of the most captivating fragrances. There is a new fragrance, one that immediately appealed to me called Vanille & Narcisse which is one of the featured fragrances from La Collection de Grasse. The fragrance carries  a delicate warm scent of vanilla floral and it immediately reminded me of a fragrance my mother used to wear years ago, a fragrance that I loved and still do.

La Collection de Grasse, inspired by the City of Grasse in Provence is known by many to be the  fragrance capital of the world, a place where delicate ingredients are gathered and the most beautiful perfumes are created. This exquisite collection was created by the founder of L’Occitane, Olivier Baussan and perfumer Karine Dubreuil.

L’Occitane describes the Narcisse Vanille so well,” A warm, intoxicating fragrance, the Vanille & Narcisse Eau de Toilette is discreet at first, the scent of narcissus swells to reveal a bouquet of white flowers and spicy heart accords. Rich and radiant vanilla blends with the wilder, untamed notes of narcissus to give it its spirit. ”

I found Vanille Narcisse to be delicate and sweet. I sensed mostly vanilla and a sweet floral but the fragrance does have notes of  blackcurrant, bergamot, narcissus, gardenia, vanilla and tonka bean. It is truly an intoxicating fragrance, and if you enjoy vanilla scents you will adore this fragrance.

L’Occitane Vanille Narcisse is the perfect gift, the perfect fragrance for the perfect lady in your life this Mother’s Day.

The set includes: Vanille & Narcisse eau de toilette 2.5 fl.oz, Vanille & Narcisse body milk 5.9 fl.oz and Vanille & Narcisse shower gel 5.9 fl.oz  usa.loccitane.com

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

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.

When Thinking About Mother’s Day I Think About Roses

P-2.aspx

Recently, I was reminded of some wonderful childhood memories. L’Occitane Rose des Champs Perlized Hand Cream brought me back to my grandmothers rose garden, many years ago. I love the aroma of roses because roses  remind me of my grandmother and her beautiful rose garden. I remember that some of the roses were  for cutting and some were for smelling and the aromas were incredible.

L’Occitane Rose des Champs Perlized Hand Cream captured its small rose-bush oil pearls, and this delicate cream simply melts into your skin leaving you with the softest silkiest hands. The delicate rose scent will keep you coming back for more.  Place a L’Occitane Rose des Champs Perlized Hand Cream on your Mother’s pillow this Mother’s Day. Visit www.loccitane.com.
