As I scraped the bottom of yet another empty bottle of product I finally decided it was time to take a trip to the Motherland and pick up some new goods! SEPHORAA - Get ready for the always inquisitive Lizzie Bananas! As always I asked every Bleach Blonde - MAC employee impersonator - in there a trillion questions trying to find the best self tanner, hairspray, morrocan oil, and pimple treater in stock.. I have some bad news and some good.. Starting with the bad - Frederick Fekkai is NO LONGER sold at Sephora!! Good News - you can now find it at your local TARGET (not kidding). Bad News - I tried Kate Somerville's, Somer 360, self-tanner wipes... Major disappointment. They left me with little color AND average to be about 6$ a wipe.. LB would have to go through the whole box to get the bronze glow I am looking for in a tanner. Good News - The NEXT self tanner I will be testing out is our favorite Jailbird's, Li-Lo, Sevin Nyne - WILL keep you posted on the results of that review.
Hairspray - so, yes, it is very 80's of me but I realized that a little hairspray for shine and control has become my MO for curly days! I had been using Aveda's Brilliant hold and shine spray but it was leaving me sticky and tangled. I picked up Oscar Blandi's Lacca Hairspray - LOVE IT! It smells like Jessica McClintoch perfume and feels light like a shine spray but holds very well. It uses sugar for hold and honey for shine and is exclusive to the Motherland! 5 stars for this! I'm sold!
So Moroccon Oil- Keep hearing about how great Moroccon Argan oil is for skin, hair, nails, you name it! So I have dry skin, dry hair and I new that this may be a great product to have around for those super dry days! JOSIE MARAN ARGAN OIL. After hearing from my Lady Gaga wannabe sales girl that THIS was THE ONLY ARGAN Oil I should be using.. I must agree... It is just what I needed. After a long hot shower I applied the oil to my face, ran it through my hair, and finished by rubbing the excess into my hands. I woke up still feeling dewy and my hair was super shiny - cuticles conditioned too! A+.
Lastly, I picked up a product that I had the chance to try a month ago when visiting my favorite Kelly women at the beach.. (NO SLEEP TIL BK.. THANK YOU FOR THIS) The Boscia Willow Bark Breakout Treatment is AMAZING! My first experience it wiped out a nasty little pimple in 2 days.. it literally brought it to the surface and i peeled it off like dried toothpast 48 hrs later. no scar, no red mark!! I always feel like I am fighting a little guy right around my chin area and am always looking for the quickest remedy. I have reviewed the PTR in the past and thought it to be wonderful, but Peter, You ain't got nothin' on this one.. Thanks again Bets for introducing me to this one.. it's found a permanent spot in the regimen!
Well Gals, this is all I've got for today! I hope that it is helpful for any of you looking around for the best of the best products..
Thanks for tuning in!
xoxo,
