Got2b Guardian Angel Gloss Finish Blow Out Lotion
Friday, January 13th, 2012
At the salon when you get your hair blown out your hair is lustrous and silky. At home it’s easy to get discouraged when your hair starts to get that dried out straw look every time you blow dry. And then afterwards you have to use a curling iron or flat iron just to get the same look that your hairdresser can wield with a blow-dryer. Although we’ve used many heat protectant products, we found Got2b’s Guardian Angel Gloss Finish Blow Out Lotion to be the only one where you could actually see that there was less damage. You blow dry your hair, without the smell of torched hair in your bathroom! With this product we got admirably close to salon blowout. To use, you just spray on sectioned damp hair first, and then blow dry your hair. We appreciated that it was a spray, because it’s hard to get an even application with lotions. The Blow Out Lotion has a nice scent but it’s not overpowering. Got2b also has another product, Got2b Guardian Angel 425° Heat Protect Flat Iron Balm (we tried this one too and it gives great shine and less frizz) that protects your hair from the flat iron. However, since they are both spray on products you may be able to just get away with using the Blow Out Lotion only when styling.

L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour
Monday, January 2nd, 2012
Red lipstick is definitely in! We saw the Beyonce’s ad for L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour in No° 315 and decided to give it a try. On the ad, the color looks like more of a brick red, but in person it’s more of a vibrant coral red. It’s very bright (although it looks subtle in the ad) so this shade is not for the faint of heart! What we liked the most about this lipstick is that it’s pigment rich without drying. If you wear true lipsticks then you know that can be a huge drawback. The Colour Riche formula contains Omega3, Vitamin E, and Argan Oil which are all moisturizing ingredients. This lipstick will kiss off and leave marks on drinking glasses, but since the pigment is so great it fades away beautifully.

Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips, Face
Thursday, December 29th, 2011
You’re probably already familiar with Veet for their depilatories, but did you know they also sell wax strips? We tried their Ready-to-Use Wax Strips and found them easy to use. Since the wax is already on the strips you don’t have to worry about heating a tub of wax. The directions suggest warming the wax by rubbing the strips with your hands. However, we found that if you have a curling iron, you can gently rest the strips on there for about two seconds and get a better wax. The finishing strips were pleasant and they also remove the excess wax residue. As always, if you’re using wax on your face be prepared for a little redness. We suggest using it no less than an hour before you go out.

Contest of the Week – Essie Nail Color Polish
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
Essie is known for high quality nail polish. This week, we are giving away two bottles – Mademoiselle and Ballet Slippers. To enter to win these great pink shades just comment below with your best nail tip. Here’s ours:
If your nails are brittle then be sure to file them in one direction. Thin or brittle nails don’t do very well with the back and forth motion of filing (which weakens nails further).
One winner will be chosen by 12/28/2011 and notified by email 1/04/2012. U.S. residents only. Odds of winning are 1 out of number of comments on this blog post.
