The Vitamin B5 Blow Out

vitamin B5

Cut drying time by 50% while power boosting youth back into hair with Peter Coppola Keratin Concept’s Vitamin B5 Blowout

To rewind the strands of time and achieve a younger looking, blow dry each and every style time, the next big blowout trend has arrived: The Vitamin B5 Blowout. With products containing the ingredient of Pro Vitamin B5, this powerful beauty vitamin is celebrated for its moisturizing, detangling and thickening features, while its ability to reflect light will make tresses shinier and glossier.

What is the best part about The Vitamin B5 Blowout?  

Answer: Cuts drying time by 50%!

How to Create The Vitamin B5 Blowout

Peter Coppola Keratin Concept’s line of high quality hair care provides a complete set of products needed to accomplish The Vitamin B5 Blowout with ease. Simply begin by shampooing and conditioning with Peter Coppola’s Total Repair Sulfate-Free Smoothing Shampoo and Total Repair Conditioner, experiencing a luxurious cleansing with the benefits of Keratin Amino Acids, Ceramides and Pro Vitamin B5. This amazing duo of cleansing and conditioning products protect the hair against environmental stress such as UV rays and pollutants while imparting an iridescent shine.

Next, spray your gently towel dried hair with Just Blow – Blow-Out Spray to achieve a longer lasting blowout while infusing your tresses with additional Keratin, Ceramides, vitamins and sunflower oil. This heat activated leave-in spray reduces your drying time by 50% while boosting a more youthful appearance. After spraying Just Blow – Blow Out Spray section your hair into 4 parts; crown, sides and nape for total control while blow drying. Begin at the nape area and remove most of the moisture until hair is slightly damp. This eliminates unnecessary pulling and tugging on the hair when it is most vulnerable. Then, taking small sections and the Peter Coppola Ceramic Round Brush lift the hair at the base for added volume and slide down the section until the ends are sleek. Always use the nozzle attachment of your blow dryer for concentrated air flow directly where you want it to be; not blowing the hair everywhere to cause tangles. To finish, gently cup the ends under or flip up to achieve your desired finish. Repeat until all the sections are dried. For the final touch, take a small amount of Peter Coppola’s super lightweight, no build-up formula Argan Oil Polish in the palms of your hands as the perfect finishing tool. Slightly warm the Argan Oil Polish in your palms, coat hands and gently glide through your younger looking strands for a brilliant shiny finish

The Result: Younger, healthier, frizz-free and Vitamin B5 infused hair that radiates with shine

Stocking Stuffers from Ole Henriksen You Can’t Pass Up

OLE HENRIKSEN

OLE HENRIKSEN

I am sure you have already started your hunt for stocking stuffers this holiday season. Need some ideas? You can’t pass up Ole Henriksen, at least I couldn’t. Ole Henrikson Clean Sweep Duo is the perfect gift or stocking stuffer and I know my girls will love them. Clean Sweep Duo contians Truth to Go Wipes and an African Green Tea Foaming Cleanser.

Did I mention that both products smell fabulous. As you freshen your face with the Truth to Go Wipes, you can smell the light citrus vanilla scent as the wipes dissove dirt, oil and other impurities that are on your skin. The botanicals contained in the wipes nourish your skin leaving you with a refreshed feeling.

As stated by Ole Henriksen, “African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser is enriched with antiaging botanical extracts like naturally antioxidant-rich African red tea and vitamin C. Its soothing, non-drying formula is strong enough to remove makeup, but gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin”. The foaming cleanser also has the delightful citrus vanilla scent and the foam is silky and soft on your skin. It rinses of easily and does not dry out your skin, I can vouch for that. Clean Sweep Duo contains absolutely no Parabens, Sulfates or Phthalates.

Ole Henriksen Clean Sweep Duo is small enough for your stocking and strong enough to cleanse yoyr skin to perfection. Clean Sweep Duo can be found at www.sephora. For more fabulous stocking stuffer and gift ideas your entire family can enjoy, please visit olehenriksen.com.

I’ve written about emerginC’s pure • potent • cosmeceutical products a number of times, and I’m thrilled to be able to share their “Gift of Light” Holiday Season promotion with YOU…

Now through December 31st, emerginC will gift a free LED light bulb with any purchase of $100 or more.

You may not find LED lights in too many homes – at least, not yet. However, there are a few reasons why you may want to become an LED trendsetter. LED lights are highly energy efficient, remarkably low-cost to operate, and unlike so much that is designed to be thrown away in our society, can last upwards of 20 years! By using just this one LED bulb in a single lamp, you can help the annual CO2 reduction by hundreds of pounds – and save on your next energy bill!

Check out the entire emerginC/Scientific Organic line here: www.emerginC.com and “Light up” your Holiday!

Brighten The Holidays With Smashbox Long Wear Lip Gloss

smashbox lipgloss

 

When I was little my mom used to tell me stories about when red lipstick became popular.  It was the only color on the market and every woman (from housewife to movie star) wore it.  One person who always wore it, and it never came off, was Lucille Ball.  Watching “I Love Lucy” I would always wonder how she made it stay on through all those crazy antics she was so well known for.

Nowadays it seems lipsticks and lip glosses never stay on throughout the day.  I don’t now about you but when I put my lip gloss on in the morning I never can remember to stick it in my pocket or my purse to reapply it during the day.  It wasn’t until just recently that I stopped putting lip gloss on all together so I didn’t have t remind myself.  With the Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss you just put it on and forget it especially during the busy holiday season.

The Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss is not only rich in shine and color that lasts for up to 6 hours, but is also formulated with SPF 15 so you no longer have to worry about your pout getting dry or burnt throughout the day.  Limitless Lip Gloss comes in 6 different colors so you can enjoy colors from bold to neutral.

This holiday season stop looking for the “perfect” stocking stuffer and get the one that will surely put a smile and shine on their lips. Visit www.smashbox.com or visit your local Ulta, Nordstrom, JCPenny and Sephora to find these beautiful shades!!! Happy Holidays Everyone!!

L’Occitane brightens up winter with a touch of Violet and Shea Embrace

 

It's a Glam Thing

L’Occitane

Violets! What better way to “think Spring” than to think of delicate fragrant violets and L’Occitane of course. My daughter Adrienne and I can’t seem to keep ourselves away from one of our favorite stores in New York, L‘Occitane en Provence where many delightful fragrances surround you as you enter.

Our latest obsession is L’Occitane’s Limited edition Shea Butter Subtle Violet Organic Lip Balm which can be found at http://usa.loccitane.com/shea-butter-subtle-violet-organic-lip-balm. You will love this lip balm as it contains shea butter and helps prevent chapped lips.  It has light non-sticky formula with a delicate pleasant flavor and sweet fragrance of violets. You lips will feel softer than ever, trust me!

Adrienne and I also agree that L’Occitane Subtle Violet Body Cream is incredible. The body cream contains 25% shea butter to help nourish and protect the skin. If you haven’t tried Shea butter, now is the perfect time to start. You will be amazed at how quickly this delicately scented body cream absorbs into your skin leaving a silky soft feeling, it is simply irresistable.

The colorful design of this limited edition lip balm and limited edition  pays homage to its Burkina Faso roots. This year’s collection was designed by Olivier Baussan, who was inspired by beaded jewels, a token of love in Africa.
