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!!!

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#!

Heidi Klum’s Fragrance is Truly a “Surprise”

Unknown-53

SURPRISE! I was never one for floral scented perfumes, but after trying Heidi Klum’s new fragrance SURPRISE, I was amazed.

At first, the fragrance opens up with strong floral-citrus notes, giving a hint of apricot or mandarin oranges aroma, and adding a touch of what smells like, pink rose petals. Toward the end, the fragrance mellows out on a striking scent of spicy, warm and earthy sandalwood.

I can say this fragrance has an ever so changing beautiful composition…no wonder is it called, “Surprise”. The perfume will definitely excite your senses and put you in a cheerful and playful mood!! This is one floral scent I enjoy. Consider Heidi Klume’s exceptional fragrance when choosing your Mother’s Day SURPRISE!

Head over to: heidiklumfragrances.com for more of Heidi’s surprises!

“The Taming of the ‘Do” Hair Show in Orlando, FL

When you love something as much as I do, you will go to the ends of the earth to make sure that you learn and study everything you can about it.  I have been a licensed hairstylist now for 5 years and every day is a new learning experience and a challenge.   Many people think that a hairstylist learns everything in school. That is VERY, VERY wrong. The real education of a stylist comes with their first job behind the chair.  We learn the basics in school; it’s kind of like learning you ABC’s.  It is up to us to continue to grow and learn more.  Ask any celebrity hairstylist, or top stylist and they will tell you everything I just said.

 

Why am I telling you this, you are probably thinking?  On Monday, April 29, I took my skills to the next level at a hair show in Orlando FL, called The Taming of the ‘Do at the Shakespeare Theatre.  It was there that I learned the latest trends and techniques that I will use in my career.   Have you ever heard of a Texture Reformation? Maybe you remember it as a perm.  How about a texture reformation wrapped with pot scrubbers? Yes, POT SCRUBBERS.  That was the coolest thing I ever seen in my life.  Or a 4 strand braid up style? The latest cutting techniques?  With so much more to learn and share with others, I will never stop learning.

When I go to a show like that, it reminds me why I became a hairdresser.  My dream is to be a hair guru.  I love hair and even though I have only been doing this for 5 short years, I know my goal is right ahead.

Keep Your Body in the “Glow” Not in the “No”

Unknown-52

Have you ever had a regrettable encounter with a self-tanner? You take your product home and follow the directions on “how to apply.”  You are excited to look in the mirror and expect to look like a bronze goddess only to look like a blotchy bronze mess.  Fortunately, we have the product for you, the Bronze Buffer self-tan remover sponge. The Bronze Buffer sponge is the best buy to rid your body of any orangey residue left by a less than adequate self-tanning product.  The Bronze Buffer sponge is effortless to use and removes unwanted self-tanning blunders quickly.  It is handy product that will keep your body in the “glow” not in the “no.”

Bronze Buffer was developed by former beauty editor turned freelance beauty writer and blogger Paige Herman-Axel. As stated by Paige Herman-Axel, “Being in the beauty business for 15 years, I’ve tried countless self-tanners to achieve that ‘I just got back from vacation’ glow without actually leaving my own home. While some products work better than others, I was always searching for a product that could fix mistakes or remove color in a fast and easy way, so I decided to create it myself”.

Learn more about the Bronze Buffer self-tan remover sponge and how to use it at https://bronzebuffer.com/
You can also find Bronze Buffer at https://www.facebook.com/BronzeBuffer?group_id=0 where you can see photos of this remarkable Buffer Sponge in use.
