Looks like www.groupon.com is getting some competition. It’s not the same concept but still pretty cool.
Hautelook.com is offering members great deals on a variety of items – clothing, beauty items, etc.
Like Groupon, the deals expire, but they don’t require a minimum number of members to purchase in order for the deal to be valid.

Let me know what you think =)

Hairbrushes

mary — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:26:55 +0000

A hairbrush is a hairbrush. There’s no difference between any of them.

Is that what you think? Is that what you’ve heard?

Well, I’m hear to tell you that that’s not true! Some hairbrushes are better than others. Some will make your hair shinier and will help dry your hair faster. Some are better for taking out knots and some are better for giving volume to your hair.

I recently purchased a new round hairbrush at Ulta and am very happy with it. I chose an Olivia Garden round brush. It’s ceramic and ion. It has cut down the amount of time spent blowing out my hair and brings out a really nice shine to it.

Flat brushes are best for getting knots out and round (barrel) ones are best for volume. The brush features a removable hair pick too.

Time for another shout out!
Who’s on Etsy? Many many people are buying and selling on Etsy these days. The competition is great out there to make a name for yourself. Everyone wants to get noticed but in a sea of people sometimes it’s hard. I’d like to shine a spotlight on Little White Dresser.

Check out her collection here. http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleWhiteDresser

She makes gorgeous jewelry and accessories for brides! You might be saying, I’m not a bride.. BUT guess what? Chances are that you know a bride or something that will be one! Oh and her collection isn’t only for brides! I’d wear her stuff any day of the week.

Ojon® oil

ncruz — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:34:06 +0000

When it comes to killing your hair by over processing it, I’m the Queen. I’ve taken my dark brown, corkscrew curls, and transformed them to golden brown and blond straight tresses.

I’ve battled my genes in a quest to get looks fitting of any modern magazine. Fine and curly, meets hot and ceramic, my flat iron wins every time.

I finally after 4 yrs of coloring, I decided to go back to brown, and give my hair such much needed R&R. While coloring it darker helped restore some shine, I needed more.

I came across Ojon® oil at a local Ulta, and decided to give it a try.

While the price made me balk ($20 for the smallest jar, $50 for something barely double the size) I was desperate for something to help restore moisture to my badly parched locks.

Ojon® oil is highly-concentrated hair and scalp treatment, Ojon® claims to hydrates dry, damaged hair.

I took my little jar home in hopes of a miracle. I measured out the specified amount and slathering it on my very dry hair. I put a shower cap on and went to bed (taking extra precaution by putting a towel on my pillow case)

The next morning I showered, and washed my hair (using my normal shampoo and conditioner) Now the test, would my hair look any better when I tried to straighten it?

45 mins later SUCCESS. My hair looked shiner and was visibly smoother. My fly always diminished and there was a healthier look to it as well.

I recommend this product to other process-aholics. I would suggest buying the smallest jar, and giving it a try. At the very least it restores shine, and at the most it disguises some of the damage that comes with passionately owning styling tools

My favorite shampoo and conditioner (for now anyway)

mary — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:42:47 +0000

Yeah, so I like to experiment and try new shampoo and conditioner.
The latest is S Factor Smoothing formula!
I’ve used the Sulfate Free kind back when I had the Brazilian Keratin Treatment done on my hair and loved that so I’m not surprised I love the other kinds too.
The shampoo and condition smells like grapes – hmmm so lovely
It leaves your hair so smooth and shiny but not greasy and oily looking.

Shaper – My Top Hairspray pick

mary — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:03:25 +0000

OK so I’ve never been the biggest fan of using hairspray..
I’ve had bad experiences from being a child of the 80s and being gagged by my older siblings Aqua Net. If you grew up in the 80s you know what I’m talking about! The bigger the hair – the better!
I guess you could say that Aqua Net caused me not to want to use hairspray much growing up.
Now I’m older and more knowledgeable. I still don’t use hairspray all the time BUT I do LOVE Sebastian’s Shaper Hairspray! It’s the best – doesn’t make your hair feel so sticky but it gets the job done! The smell isn’t harsh either.
Since I have naturally wavy hair, I like to spray some shaper on my hair when it’s wet and when it dries, it’s not frizzy.

Dry Shampoo

mary — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:21:30 +0000

How often do you wash your hair?
If you’d like to not have to shower every day or if your hair gets oily quickly, you have to try dry shampoo.

No water required! Just spray your hair! It’s so easy.

I’ve heard Oscar Blandi makes the best.

It’s on my wishlist (hint hint)
