Hydralicious Shampoo Giveaway

Posted in Giveaway, Hair, Herbal Essences, Product Review at 10:00 am by geeekygirl

I’ve been using Herbal Essences Hydralicious shampoo for the last month or so. There are three different kinds in this line – I went for the purple Reconditioning shampoo and conditioner.

herbal-essences-hydralicious

I have to admit that my expectations for it weren’t all that high, but I really like how soft it leaves my hair. My hair feels moisturized even though I blow dry my hair almost every day, and sometimes even straighten it. My stylist mentioned how soft my hair felt when I got my hair cut two weeks ago.

I thought I would let a couple of my readers try out Hydralicious as well. Leave me a comment with your favorite hair tip for spring/summer and I’ll enter you into a draw for 2 full value coupons for Hydralicious shampoo/conditioner. I’ll give away 2 sets of coupons. Unfortunately the coupons are only good in Canada so Canadian residents only please.

The Hydralicious line is available at your local drugstore for $4.

The Body Shop Aloe Calming Toner

Posted in The Body Shop, Toner at 6:00 am by geeekygirl

the-body-shop-aloe-calming-toner

I have to apologize for the lack of regular postings lately. Last week was really busy and I think this week is going to be to. I’m hoping to get at least three posts written for this week. On to today’s review……

I’ve been using the Body Shop’s Aloe Calming Toner lately and I love it. This toner is made specifically for people with sensitive skin. It doesn’t contain any dyes, preservatives, or fragrances – which are the most likely culprits with reactions for people with sensitive skin. It doesn’t contain any alcohol either so it won’t leave your skin red or feeling stripped of moisture.

If you don’t currently use a toner I really recommend it, it makes sure your skin is clean from makeup and dirt that may be still left on your skin after cleansing.

It’s available online here or at your local Body Shop.

I picked up the March issue of InStyle this week. One of my favorite articles is about affordable products that beauty insiders use – including hair, makeup, and skin care products. There’s lots on the new spring fashion trends (I’m so ready for spring). There are tips on how to wake up with great hair. Last but not least there’s a great interview with Sandra Bullock.
