Ladies Home Journal June 2013

Since Summer is coming [I know I know, it is like winter!], protect your hair before swimming by saturating your hair with a bottle water or  bit of conditioner.

Here are some picks for your hair, skin and spruce up your regime-

Stila Lip Glaze - Fantasy

The strawberry punch pink with a hint of golden shimmer goes on a bit sheer but shimmer when the light hits it. The sweet scented lip glaze doesn't go on to thick or sticky. The gloss lasted about 45 minutes but my lips stayed soft long after the gloss wore off.

Pantene Expert Collection Pro-V Age Defy Shampoo and Conditioner

I know unkempt, messy, brassy looking hair can make you look older but hair itself looking older? That boggles my brain! I mean it seems pretty logical but I honestly can’t say I have given it much thought. The shampoo and conditioner duo promises to fight the 7 signs of “aging” hair - “unruly grays, dryness, lackluster color, thinning, breakage, split ends, and frizz” when using it. After using the duro for three uses, I feel like my hair was douse in anti-aging cream. I have this one really gray hair that sticks up in the middle of my forehead no matter what I do. I noticed after using the duo, this doesn’t occur anymore. My hair felt smooth, soft and I noticed I could go almost 3 to 4 days without having to wash my hair because it was oily!

The Body Shop Love ETC... Body Wash

The soap free body wash gives a nice rich later. It has has notes of jasmine, vanilla, sandalwood, pear, neroli, bergamot, heliotrope, lily of the valley, and musk cream. While it seems like it might be overwhelming, it actually has a pretty subtle scent. I do love how my skin was nicely scented afterwards and soft. The Love body wash is just like its namesake, complex, complicated but so warm that you can’t live without it.
