Healthy Hair for Less: Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly

August 31st, 2009 by Lilan

Tousle Me Softly Shampoo Conditioner

I’ve always been envious of ladies with thick and wavy locks. Since my hair is thin, fine and won’t hold a curl even if my life depended on it, I’ve gracefully accepted that my hair will never be any of these things.

But that doesn’t mean that I can’t strive for healthy, shiny looking hair.

I went through a little bit of a rough patch a couple of weeks ago when I hadn’t had a chance to unpack from relocating yet and was using a shampoo and conditioner combo that just happened to be in the house but that wasn’t made for my hair type.

Easy Navy and White Look for Back to School

August 28th, 2009 by Crystal

Back to School Basics_cp

I wish I could say that I’m super confident and bold, but I have to admit I’m the quiet, shy girl. With tons of people crowding the hallways, how am I supposed to be noticed at school?

To stand out in the crowd, I let my makeup speak volumes instead of my lips! For a great conversation starter, turn heads with an amazing makeup look that’s teacher-approved.

The easiest way for me to do this is by making my eyes look more bright and awake. White gold shadow, brightening navy liner, and lifting mascara; there’s nothing better.

Give Your ‘Do a Boost with TRESemmé

For me, new hair gives me a fresh start and outlook toward life, it transforms me.

Apparently my sister Jade felt the same way. She stepped up and pushed the edge by requesting an extreme crop from her stylist. Her inspiration picture above was the general look she was going for.

The shoulder blade length hair was transformed into thick, piecey bangs and long layers. She loved it!

However, maintaining her hair was going to take some work though. Jade’s longer hair required little effort, but with this cut, she’ll need products for that swept, edgy look.

Wandering Rite Aid, we were immediately drawn to the pretty black and hot pink colors on the TRESemmé’s 24-Hour Body collection. Complaining that she wanted fluffy, lifted roots and flexible hold, we agreed that this line of hair fixers was perfect for her.

Recessionistas Rule! An Easy Day-to-Night Look

August 26th, 2009 by Crystal

Daytime Bag

If I were the partying type of gal, (which I’m not) I imagine that I’d have around 10 minutes to crank up my day look in time for an evening bash.

On top of that, I’m I’d only have room for a couple of items in my pretty little clutch. What can I stuff in there besides my phone, gum, keys, etc? Hmm, I wonder….
