Sometimes people with good hair break a leg – Dry Shampoo to the rescue

December 26, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Our Dad recently broke his leg. He’ll be in a cast for a few weeks and he can’t quite get the angle right to wash his hair without getting the cast wet, so he won’t be able to use any of the wonderful traditional shampoos we give him.

Now, let me describe my Dad’s hair. It’s fantastic. It’s thick, lush, dark with some super shiny grey, and full with a light wave. If he was a TV news man, you would trust him based on his hair alone. If I had his hair, his bright blue eyes, and his naturally red lips, my morning routine would take about five minutes (I don’t, and it doesn’t.) And he’s due for a haircut, so it’s even fuller and lusher at the moment.

Our Favorite Dry Shampoos

Of course, there is another option. We’ve talked about how much we love dry shampoo for styling, especially volumizing formulas like Neil George Refresh Dry Shampoo and Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray. Works great for styling, and works great for times you can’t wash your hair.

What to Know About Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo

Our Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Experience

Armed with Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo, Lyn showed Dad what dry shampoo can do. I’ve always been impressed with what the product can do with our long hair, but I was even more impressed at how volumizing it is on short hair like Dad’s. He was left with his hair as full and shiny as it typically gets after a regular shampoo and a use of our T3 dryer.

Where to Find It

Find Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray at Lock & Mane.

Just noticed that Amazon offers Stila Crush Lip and Cheek Stains at 15% off (bringing them to $20.40) if you select Subscribe & Save. Using Subscribe and Save is a good way to make sure you don’t run out of your stain of choice – I end up keeping extras of a couple of the colors on hand since you can’t really tell from the tube when you are going to run out.

Product Review: Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask

November 29, 2011 · 1 Comment

Ah, nothing like autumn. The leaves falling, the luxurious fabrics, and your face getting raw from that first day that it is freezing, rainy, and windy. This year, I took care of that last part.

Smoothing on a Facial Mask like Liz Earle Nourishing Treatment MaskI’ve known about Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask for awhile  but did not test it out until a few weeks ago. I love the Liz Earle line, and I adore their Brightening Mask, so I was keen to try the Nourishing Treatment Mask when it was sent to me.

Liz Earle Intenstive Nourishing Treatment Mask is fantastic. It makes skin sooooo soft and evens out skintone issues due to dryness/redness in ten minutes flat. I love that you can move around in the mask too – it’s not like many facial masks that if you move, goop is going to get everywhere. It stays in place while you talk, move around, or just sit back with your eyes closed.

On cold morning when I’d rather stay under the warm covers, I’ve taken to negotiating with myself – I keep the mask on my nightstand, and when the alarm goes off and the urge to go back to sleep hits, I smooth the mask on. It feels good, so being awake is a little more tolerable. And it eventually gets me out of bed since I have to wash it off in 10-15 minutes.

I’m also a big fan of what Nourishing Treatment Mask does for throat skin – the mask makes throat skin soft, smooth and radiant. If you are in your early thirties, throat skin is one of those thing that you don’t notice as not looking like it did when you were 18 until you do something about it, and then you remember how good an area like your throat looked when you were younger. Much like foundation, facial masks shouldn’t stop at your jawline – make sure to give your thin neck skin the good treatment you give your face. And since Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask contains Borage Oil to hydrate, it’s an ideal mask for throat and neck use!

The mask comes with one of Liz Earle’s amazing muslin cloths to wash it off with. I adore these muslin clothes – I would fill my closet with them if I could! They remove the mask cleanly and gently.

I really like using the mask after at-home glycolic peels. It hydrates the freshly exposed skin and soothes any irritation. And given that glycolic peels aren’t Then just wash it off, apply moisturizer, and admire your radiant skin!

Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask really is fantastic. I really love the Liz Earle line, so expectations are always high when I try a new product of theirs. Nourishing Treatment Mask exceeded my expectations and I’ll definitely continue to use it…especially on mornings that require extreme self-negotiation to get up…

Find Liz Earle Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask at LizEarle.com for $24.00!
