Hello Gorgeous!
I had one of the best Thanksgiving celebrations ever and hope that you did too! Part of my celebrating was testing a new shampoo of a brand I have wanted to try forever!
The Organix line can be found at Ulta’s or Walmarts. It is affordable in the under $10 range and maybe even closer to $5!
It had a great shampoo lather and rinsed clean with a light pomegranate ( love this!) scent. I also tested the shine serum to help boost luster and reduce frizzies in the hair.
I liked both products and think they would make a great gift for the beauty lover on your holiday shopping list.
This product is paraben and sulfate free making it safe for color treated hair! Enjoy!
Remember: you are beautiful!

The super long hair trend is over (Sorry Gisele). Stylists are now saying that the best long haircuts range from clavicle-length to mid-back. What’s even better? You don’t have to resort to “long layers” if you want a stylish new look. See the six new cuts that both stylists and celebrities are loving now.
Goody is really innovative in creating great hair products-and this is no different.
The brush I am testing is the half round shape but I couldn’t find a photo of it so I put the paddle picture up.
It is light-so your arm won’t get tired. It’s weird-but give it a moment for learning curve. The idea is that it will cut down drying time on your hair.
I am not sure if my drying time was cut down because I spent quite some time fussing with the brush. For me, it works best when I flip my hair over my head and dry upside down. This gave me a lot of volume. Interesting: I got a great blow dry: meaning smooth and full hair, but I did need to go back in with the dryer at a cooler temp and my normal round brush and shape my hair a bit more.
So overall: as for being a tool that combines safe drying, with function and style-I give this a thumbs up!
I am concerned that it comes with instructions on how to clean it and microbial something and “freshness”.
These are new terms to me when it comes to my hair brush.
In short-try one-it’s worth it. You can find the Goody QuikStyle at Walmarts and Targets for $11.99
Enjoy!

Hello Gorgeous!
OH wow! The I Heart Radio festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was live streamed over Yahoo-or a Xbox 360 for those of us who were unable to make it in person.
In the words of Taylor Swift ” I’m definitely going next year”!
So here is a short video to share the Rimmel of London haul-that I have used to create a P!NK inspired smokey eye and nude lip like what she wore in her set on Saturday.
I did not go into detail in the video about how to get a PINK’s mohawk if you have long hair like mine-but here’s the short version:
1. Section the top of your head into 3 parts from the forehead hairline to the crown. Tease tight, then smooth over with a brush.
2. I put my hair into a high ponytail-and kept the teased section smooth and tall.
3. Sprayed it all down with some Samy shine hairspray, set a bow at the back of the teased ‘faux’ hawk and fluffed out the base of the pony tail.
It’s a PINK like hairstyle!
Enjoy the video!
RIMMEL of London Products used:
Glam’eyes HD 004 Green Park or try 007 in Heart of Gold
Exaggerate waterproof eye definer in Emerald Sparkle
Volume Flash Scandal Eyes mascara
Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Creamy Beige

Lips: Kate 15 for a PINK inspired nude shiny lip, use Kate 10 for a Taylor Swift red lip

Hi gorgeous!
It is still hot here in Arizona-but here is a simple and affordable answer to dry summer hair that has been in too much sun, too much chlorine and I hope-has been spared a round of Sun In.

I put mine on in the shower after I have towel dried my hair because the tube is kind of messy!
If you want to go a step further, put a plastic baggy over your hair and then heat it up with a hair dryer for a deeper penetration.

Hey Gorgeous! Please check yesterday’s blog post with a funny yet important video about the importance of helping bees get healthy habitats so the crucial pollination needed for native plants to thrive can take place!
Today-I share with you the Burt’s Bees lip tint-I have 3 colors; a plum, a cherry red and a light pink. The plum is my favorite because it makes a berry tone stain on my lips yet is moisturizing and smooth feeling.
My experience is that it wears on the lip for quite some time! Plus it has just enough color to look ‘made up’ for a busy summer day but not too much as too look over done.
You can get your favorite Burt’s Bees products and cosmetics just about any where; like the Walmart, Target, CVS and Sprouts!
These lip tints are just about $5-worth it for your summer beauty and travel to beach side locations! Enjoy!
