AVEENO® NOURISH+ STRENGTHEN Shampoo
Sunday, January 5th, 2014
Aveeno is a great brand for skin that is so itchy and dry that it doesn’t respond well to regular lotion. So it stands to reason that their shampoo would be great for hair that’s in bad shape as well. We tried AVEENO® NOURISH+ STRENGTHEN Shampoo, which has a wheat complex that works to fortify the hair. It claims to repair up to 90% of breakage in just 3 washes. This shampoo is great for dry hair. It doesn’t dry it out and leaves enough elasticity to comb without a lot of breakage. Volume wise, this shampoo falls somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t provide a lot of volume but it doesn’t really flatten your hair either. We think this is a great product for anyone who has abused their hair with heat, chemicals, or color treatment. It smells great too! If you have fine thin hair that’s not damaged, you probably won’t be happy with the volume.
Tip: If your hair is damaged, sleep on a satin pillowcase. This is also better for your skin. Cotton absorbs moisture and isn’t very kind to your hair.

Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion
Monday, December 9th, 2013
Weleda is an environmentally conscious brand that originated in Switzerland. We tried their Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion which is all natural. It contains anti-oxidants, organic rosehip seed oil, and jojoba seed oil. The first thing we noticed was how good the product smelled. The light smell of organic roses on your face is very soothing. Since it’s an all natural product, we didn’t know how well this would do for smoothing fine lines. But this lotion exceeded our expectations. After about a week our skin was in better condition (it works wonders on pores) and fine lines appeared to be smoother. We also had a tester with sensitive skin – they were pleased to be able to use a scented product without the irritation.

Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream
Thursday, December 5th, 2013
Aveeno used to only offer soap, bath products, and lotion. Now their product line has extended to dozens of products. One of their newest additions, Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream, has the ACTIVE NATURALS Total Soy complex, minerals, and an SPF of 30. We tried it and as promised found that it gave a nice glow. It blends really well on the skin as well. But what was surprising was that it stays on all day. Once you put it on you’re set for the rest of the day. If you have oily skin you’ll need a mattifying primer or powder on top of the BB Cream. But for other skin types, this is the perfect way to do something nice for your skin while getting a little bit of coverage.

Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Moisture Mist Detangler
Monday, August 5th, 2013
Tangled hair isn’t just for children. If you have fine or damaged hair, you know it can get easily tangled. Pantene makes a hair detangler – Daily Moisture Renewal Moisture Mist Detangler which has proven to be pretty effective. A little goes a long way, and the mist is fine enough to give a nice, even application. Not only does this Moisture Mist detangle, it prepares hair for styling. The directions state to use on damp hair. If you have frizzy hair, this is important. Although this product works very well, if you put it on dry hair it swells the hair, making it poofy. If you’re looking for volume however, this may actually give you the body you’re looking for.
Tip: Does your hair get really tangled when you wash it? Try spraying a bunch of detangling product on your hair and brushing it out before shampooing. Shampoo carefully while avoiding scrunching the hair.
