L.A. Colors "Color Craze"-----Nail Polish For A Buck---Long-Lasting!

Alright, please reserve your laughter until AFTER you read my beauty post.

Let's not mince words here. We ALL like saving a buck or two, especially on items for makeup, hair, complexion, nails, etc.

So, consider this: A nail polish for ONE BUCK!!!!

Yes, it goes on smoothly and dries beautifully.

Best of all, L.A. Colors Color Craze comes in TONS of adorable shades.

I SWEAR to you, I did a pedicure in L.A. Colors and it LASTED for about 3 weeks, NO chipping!

I did my pedi in L.A. Colors'  Circuits 412 shade---Black.

My toes looked expensive ---ha ha.

You can find L.A. Colors Color Craze polish at stores like Walmart and the Dollar Tree.

Maybe you only go high-end for NAIL stuff, but if you're in a pinch or hurry, this brand does the job.

Cheap + Effective U.K. Lipstick Sealer---Under $5!!

There are tons of lipsticks, glosses and stains available these days. Some last BETTER than others.

How about lipstick sealers?

Would you ever consider buying one, or do you just figure these beauty products DON'T last + severely dry out your lips?

Sometimes, it's true, the sealers BURN going on and then turn your lips to  a desert and a thirsty mess.

The British have a FAVORITE lipstick sealer that's been around for years and supposedly performs like it should.

It's called Lipcote Lipstick Sealer and sells for the ROCK-BOTTOM price of $4.95, that's right----in U.S. dollars. Plus FREE shipping!

I haven't received mine yet, but I ordered it from here.

Hey, LESS than $5 and FREE shipping across the pond?

I'd be a fool NOT to try it.

Good Kenra Volume Spray 25 Dupe Found At Sally's For Less

Kenra Volume Spray 25 is a FAB hairspray that TV anchors won't do without.

I learned about the product on YouTube where I follow Dominque Sachse, at KPRC 2, Houston's home for news.

Dominique shares tons of beauty + fashion advice.

She LOVES Kenra hairspray  to keep her beautiful mane-- a cute bob,  full of movement and style.

You can find a 10 oz. aerosol can of Kenra 25 here at beauty stores like ULTA for $18.

Read the ULTA reviews--this stuff rocks!

Now, I haven't tried Kenra Volume Spray 25 YET, but I found an amazing dupe from Sally's Beauty Supply for ONLY $9.19. Since I was already in Sally's, I bought it fast. Check it out here.

The DUPE is called GVP Volumizing Spray and also comes in a sleek silver aerosol can. It SMELLS pretty, nothing harsh or over-bearing.

This a very good VOLUMIZING hairspray. I will try the Kenra 25 next time.

The DUPE has the SAME ingredients as Kenra and supposedly smells just like Kenra.

So you decide.

I NEED a strong spray that adds BODY and stays that way.

My, Oh My! It's MyChelle Micellar Water For A More Luminous and Clear Complexion

If you understand advancements in skin care products, then we can bet you've heard of micellar water.

We had read about it but had never tried any, until MyChelle Dermaceuticals generously sent a bottle our way. Thank You, ladies!

We admit, we were hesitant to try micellar water because our skin remains rather oily. And we wondered if break-outs could occur.

These days, we RARELY see a pimple and want it to remain that way.

Micellar water is a unique cleanser + moisturizer + radiance booster all rolled into one.

What initiated our pause was its content. Micelles are tiny oil molecules suspended in soft water.

The word oil scared our oily complexion. But this amazing water formula is above all, pure and gentle.

MyChelle's Quick Clean Micellar Water is a skin care GEM at only $15 a bottle. You can't beat it.

The brand infuses their micellar water with strawberry + kiwi etxracts, and it offers excellent cleansing properties WITHOUT the need to rinse off.

So it's superb + effective. And it's especially nourishing as an added moisturizer
.

We have been using it as well in this manner on our neck and decollete, and trust us, MyChelle's Quick Clean Micellar Water creates smooth, soft, glowing skin.

It is LOVELY, and we are going to try it on the complexion next, as a light moisturizer.

We HIGHLY recommend!

Hair Beauty Boost With OGX Bamboo Fiber-Full Shampoo Collection

If your sad, tired hair needs a SPRING boost, then consider the OGX brand.

I might be one of few who had NEVER tried their popular shampoos + hair care treatments, but for the heck of it, liked the sound of BAMBOO for my stubborn hair from Hades and bought the Bamboo Fiber-Full Shampoo and the Thickening Root Booster.

One word, ladies.......AWESOME! And just $8 at ULTA!

Now, OGX poos are known for being pure and NOT adding bad chemical stuff like other shampoos.

The vast majority of OGX products contain non sulfated surfactants. Beginning in 2014, Vogue created a handful of shampoos – Coconut Water, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, Eucalyptus Mint, Tsubaki Blossom, Heavenly Hydration Cherry Blossom, Bamboo Fiber Full, and O2 – that contain one sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS).

Unfortunately, there is one in Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. However, the Bamboo line is nourishing and volumizing to my hair, so I will continue to use it.

It smells darn good and produces a decent lather. I might ADD the Bamboo conditioner to my hair care line-up.
.
I have a lot of hair that is fine to medium, and it's not always easy to control.

I call my tresses-----SHAPELESS VOLUME.

Bu the OGX Bamboo Fiber-Full line is worth trying if you demand body and nourishment.

Does it FADE color-treated hair. Well, I will learn that soon enough. So far,  no problem.

Has anyone else tried OGX's Bamboo line?

Cindy Crawford Tells People Mag About Her Lush Hair Mask

Model Cindy Crawford needs no introduction, and at age 51, still promoting healthy, sensible beauty.

Cindy has always had incredible, wavy brunette locks, but even as she gets older, it's not quite the hair she used to have.

“Whose hair is this?” That’s the question Cindy Crawford found herself wondering when she looked in the mirror as she got older. 

“No one warns you that your hair changes so much,” the supermodel, 51, tells PeopleStyle during an interview featured in the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday. “I knew I was going to have start coloring it, but I didn’t realize the texture was going to change. That was one of the biggest surprises about aging.”

To fight back against the normal signs of aging, the iconic model tells People that she applys this hair helper, an amazing hair mask:

“I put it on when I am working out and it smells really good and then after I work out I wash my hair,” she says.

Great tip, Cindy!
