Everyone I know can’t believe how quickly the summer went by. First, so much of the time were flooding thunderstorms across the country — terrible! Then, there were hot days that made it impossible to go outside. It’s time to come out of our chrysalis! But you feel like you need a little glow up on the fundamentals . . . I get it. Fragrance.com has some remarkably quick fixes for you. I was happy to be hosted to experience it!
So, maybe you’ve wrecked your hair in the ocean or pool this summer. Or, maybe you’re like I am, with a jaw-droppingly bad haircut from a year ago. What do you do? Frayed and broken, never growing, can’t retain a shape or style. You can get yourself a small size of K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz – a miracle the size of your thumb. If you watch star stylists on social media, you’ll see the best use this line for the hopeless cases.
My hair is the texture of tangled corn silk and is normally very difficult to comb out when wet. It usually requires a ton of heavy fluids to get through it. You just need like, 2 or 3 pea-sized pieces after you get out of the shower and leave it in. This is so easy and convenient! It does everything that a long haircare routine does, so it’s great if you’re very tired or in a hurry. It adds like a body coating, so I wouldn’t add too much in the way of styling products — you’ll be just fine.
This is what they say about it: “This unique formula helps restore strength and softness to the hair while also protecting it from further damage. This K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is perfect for all hair types that clinically reverses damage in 4 minutes. It’s an ideal choice for those looking for a long-term solution to their damaged hair woes! Restores strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce
Powered by the patented K18PEPTIDE technology Works on every single hair type
Vegan, color-safe, cruelty-free.” They promote reversing hair damage in 4 minutes, with dramatic repair after just 2 uses.
Though it comes in several sizes, the mini one will solve all of your travel hair issues.
Maybe your hair cuticles are blown. How do you know if that’s so? Your hair is unmanageable, looks like you put your hair in an electric socket, and strongly “grabs” color. That means when you were in a chlorinated pool, used a tinted (blue or violet) shampoo, ran some color to the ends, that color blotched up and stayed. Maybe even for a week! That’s because cuticles are porous and they can stretch, allowing colors to stain the inner core.
So you’d rather have smooth, glossy, normal textured hair? What you need is Brazilian Blowout Acai Anti-Frizz Deep Conditioning Masque 8 oz. It’s a rich cream consistency that squeezes out of a sizeable tube. After you shampoo, you apply it and then let it sit for 20 minutes. So, have your comfy bathrobe waiting and maybe you can apply a face mask in the meantime. Your hair will be healthy and easy to comb, but it won’t leave it greasy, waxy or heavy.
If you swim, type, cook or garden, it’s a good bet that your nails look terrible. They may peel, snap off, have odd ridges or be thin. I’ve tried all of the hardeners, even the fancy ones in tints of shell pink and lavender pink. A week later, my nails end up worse!
Well, thanks to time and science, there are better treatments out now. Forget that it’s economical, forget that it’s convenient to carry: Opi Repair Mode Nail Treatment is a game-changer. You paint it on twice a day for 6 days straight, to start. But you’re not having to stand around waiting for something to dry. It’s very fluid, it dries faster than hair spray. The first time I used it, I thought, “Wait . . . something’s happening, I think. Let me see.” By Day 2, I couldn’t deny it: no nail tips were splitting, I had a nice, strong surface. I find myself actually filing length off, not just smoothing over ends. This is an excellent product.
So, that’s not the only thing you have to watch out with nails. If your cuticles are cracked or you’ve got hangnails, not only does that hurt, not only does that look terrible, but also, you won’t be able to polish your nails. Christian Dior
Abricot Creme – Strengthening Nail Care is a very special nail and cuticle cream. With apricot oil and tinted apricot colored, it gives you a more polished look while nourishing and glossing your nails, not damaging them. After all, sometimes your nails are in such bad shape, they can’t even handle a buffing block!
The cream is in an iconic ivory colored little flat Dior jar, chic on any dresser or in any purse. It will last you such a long time, because you only need like, the size of 1/3 of a pea for both your hands.
Clive Christian is a luxury perfume line, said to be distinct from many other perfumes in its high perfume oil percentage and depth of scent components. Think heirloom tomatoes simmered with herbal infusions opposed to the stuff out of a can. It’s very costly. But with Fragrance.com, they have vials that cost pretty much the price of an airport coffee.
There are several scents in the line, including Clive Christian L Red Tea Vetiver. To my nose, I get the tea notes, a little lemon zest and cinnamon bark-woodsy layer. I would say this is good for day through late afternoon, can be worn in professional settings. It has subtle, but warm notes — definitely not cool fir or tons of citrus. They say it has lemon, rooibos tea and sandalwood notes. In the vial, it’s convenient to travel with.
