Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Get Hair Ready For Spring!

As it gets warmer in Kansas City, I know that with the heat comes the frizz — my poor hair!

So I have started to think about using more products and hair care to keep my hair hydrated, soft and smooth. Here are my current faves:

Topganic Leave On Silk Serum ($13 USD) — Sodium chloride free, Paraben-free, SLE and SLES free anti frizz and nutritious oil for dry and ultra dry hair. It is perfect for hair that has undergone any type of chemical treatment including straightening and curling. The active ingredients captured inside this bottle, deliver healthier, silkier and extraordinarily shiny hair.

This flawless recipe is enriched with Brazil nuts, which are known as one of nature’s best sources of selenium, an important mineral for healthy scalp appearance. Brazil nuts are also brimming with alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that helps condition your hair. It is also considered a terrific source of zinc which a deficiency of, may lead to hair shedding.

What I think: This serum has the consitency of an oil, so a little goes a long way. I apply a little to wet hair, and it dries soft and smooth. It is also wonderful for mid-day frizzies. Plus, I love the scent of this serum — it’s nutty and sweet!

Philip B. African Shea Butter Gentle & Conditioning Shampoo

Philip B. Lovin’ Leave-in Conditioner

Philip B. pH Restorative Detangling Toning Mist

African Shea Butter Gentle & Conditioning Shampoo ($27 USD, 7.4 fl. oz.) — Mild cleanser drenches strands in light-weight moisture, protecting color and taking hair to a whole new level of softness and shine. Active botanical agents (African Shea Butter, Hops, Nettle and Comfrey) condition and silkify without weighing hair down.

Lovin’ Leave-in Conditioner ($24 USD, 6 fl. oz.) — A light moisturizing styling crème that keeps everything nicely defined, gets rid of flyaways and gives hair a soft gleam. Ideal for all hair types.

pH Restorative Detangling Toning Mist ($24 USD, 4.23 fl. oz.) — Weightless, daily detangling mist leaves hair glossy and frizz-free. Perfect for all hair types. Water-light leave-in toner adjusts the pH of tap water to seal the cuticle of your hair, for a remarkably smooth, shiny finish. Boosts manageability and shine with Apple Cider Vinegar, a natural astringent and pH balancer.

What I think: I love the shampoo for my colored treated hair. It is so gentle but cleans very well. The leave in conditioner smells so nice! It is easy to use, just apply a small amount to cleansed hair, and either air or blow dry. The toning mist leaves my hair smooth and shiny, but I am not much of a fan of the vinegar smell. It does go away after awhile. Yay! I really love that it seals my hair cuticle to keep the frizz away.

LA Looks Nutra Curl (Aprox. $9.99 USD) — Love the curly, wavy look but hate it when you lose shape and definition? Get your hair ready for long lasting, frizz-free curls. Infused with Avocado Oil to naturally moisturize dry or damaged hair. Level 8 Hold.

Nad’s Exfoliating Body Wax Strips ($8.99 USD) — With a tropical grapefruit scent, the new Nad’s Exfoliating Body Wax Strips are an innovative take on the traditional at-home wax strip with the world’s FIRST exfoliating waxing strip. Each cultivated with the Nad’s patented Xfol™ technology, a coarse exfoliating surface on the outside to remove buildup and dead skin, these strips work to release trapped ingrown hairs while a powerful, strong ‘grip’ within the strip to adhere and remove hair. Recommended use for hair as short as 1.5mm.

What I think: These are interesting. The outer paper that holds the wax is actually an exfoliating strip. You rub it in circles on your skin before you wax. Then rub the outside of the wax strip between the palms to warm it up, peel and apply. I then make sure the wax is on securely and pull off. Ouch! But it works pretty well. I still had a few hairs left and had to do it again. It then left my skin hair free! This is nice if you don’t like to shave.

My Beauty Favorites — Week of February 29-March 6, 2016

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great week. It was warm in Kansas City today and I loved it!

This week I am loving effective skincare. Now that I’m out of the cold air, I feel my skin is looking and feeling better. And, the products below are definitely helping!

I was sent these fab products by KORRES, Clarity Rx and Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare for my honest review:

KORRES Wild Rose Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial ($48 USD) — A breakthrough in beauty sleep. The weightless soufflé melts into skin and works overnight for brighter, petal-soft skin by morning. Day after day, week after week, uneven tone and dark spots will continuously improve. After only 14 days you’ll see skin that’s brighter, more even-toned, and exceptionally radiant.

What I think: This is such a fluffy cream! I apply it over my serum at night and it sinks right into my skin. Many night treatments are so heavy, but this one is light, but does really moisturize. In the morning, my skin is so soft. I am going to continue to use and hope to see lightening of dark spots.

Brand Review — Ramy Beauty Therapy

I love discovering new brands and reviewing cool products!

This week, I have been loving products from Ramy Beauty Therapy. It was created by makeup artist Ramy. His philosophy is simple: “Minimum makeup, Maximum impact!” Meaning, if you select the correct color palette to enhance your features and apply it correctly, you can look younger and more beautiful with a minimum of products and effort.

I was sent the following products for my honest review:

Ramy Beauty The Brow Master Kit ($49.99 USD) — contains both the Brow Master Stencils and the Arch Angel Color Transforming Brow Gel! Everything you need to be your own eyebrow guru!

The Brow Master: No more cookie cutter eyebrows! Ramy’s patent-pending, trademarked invention will revolutionize how we shape our brows. Now everyone can be an eyebrow expert! The Brow Master insert moves up, down, left and right to customize the thickness, length and width of your brows. Each Set contains the Brow Master and 3 inserts (Full, Medium and Soft Arch)

Arch Angel Color Transforming Brow Gel goes on white, then changes color when you brush through it to match your hair color! This universally flattering neutral is perfect for use with the Brow Master Customizable Stencils or on it’s own. The Arch Angel fills in your brows with the perfect shade and holds brows in place until you remove it. Apply with the included angled brush, then brush through. Color transforms instantly and will adjust after a few minutes to become your perfect shade!

The stencils are great for those who need a shape to their brows. My brows are fairly defined, I just tweeze a little to keep them neat. The Arch Angel is great for keeping brows in the shape you want them to be and filling in color. It worked on my dark brown brows and didn’t make me look too made up. I haven’t used anything like this before and think it is a cool idea. And the little pot of product will last a long time.

Ramy Beauty Therapy Perfect Eye Wand Liner & Shadow

The Perfect Eye Wand ($24 USD) takes easy eye make-up to the next level by combining an eye liner and shadow in one easy-to-use wand. The eyeliner shade? PERFECT! Not black, not brown, but the ultimate, neutral mahogany color. The Shadow end is a taupey grey neutral – Two eye products, One Perfect Wand that truly compliments any skin tone. Create a sexy smoky eye, or create the perfect subtle day look.

Ramy Tip: For daytime, apply liner to upper lashline only and shadow on crease of eye to define your eyes without looking overly made up. For evening: INSTANT Smokey Eye! Apply liner to upper and lower lashlines and apply shadow to entire eye lid and over liner on lower lashline for the fastest smoky eye Ever!

I like to do the daytime look. I actually take a light-colored shadow and brush over my whole eyelid. Then I line my eyes with the liner and apply the shadow in the crease. The look is pretty amazing! The liner is very dark, but not black and the shadow smudges really well to create the perfect shade. So pretty!

Ramy Beauty Therapy Alive! Blush ($19 USD) — One of a kind, long-wearing color. Micronized and silicone treated for extremely smooth application. This blush literally seems to bring skin to life with its perfect blend of pink, gold and brown color. Great for sweeping over eyes to really make eye color pop! A great alternative for women who are not inclined to wear eyeshadows. Simply sweep over eyes with blush brush for a finished, polished look.

This is such a pretty, neutral color! It works great on the eyelids with the eyeliner above. Plus, it makes such a natural-looking blush. Just enough color and shimmer to define the cheeks. I like using softer colors for spring and summer and this is perfect!

SinfulColors Shamrock Out Collection

Shamrock Out Collection

Happy March! I am so looking forward to Spring. Spring makes me think of green, which of course reminds me of St. Patrick’s Day!

It’s fashionable to go green – and gold! Fancy up your mani this St. Paddy’s Day with a range of shades to envy from the SinfulColors Shamrock Out Collection ($1.99 each), including a NEW Limited Edition glitter polish, Feeling Lucky, a limited edition bold green glitter with gold shamrock shaped glitters.

SinfulColors are made in the USA and are 5 Free (Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DPB and Camphor Free)

I received a few of these gorgeous greens. Below are swatches of the colors I received:.

Exotic Green

Feeling Lucky?

Exotic Green is on the left (and underneath Feeling Lucky? on the right). It is sheer kind of like a jelly polish and took 3 coats to become opaque. On, it is so pretty. It would be nice as an every day color and would look cool with a matte top coat.

Feeling Lucky? is basically a clear top coat with green and white glitter with gold shamrocks. It looks great on, but takes a little practice to fish the shamrocks out.

Happy Ending

San Francisco

Both colors above are shimmers with two coats each. Happy Ending is a bright green shimmer. San Francisco is a darker color — perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

Available in February and March 2016 at various retailers including Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid and other drug and mass retailers

My Beauty Favorites — Week of February 22-28, 2016

Are you watching the Oscars tonight? I have Downton Abbey and the Walking Dead to enjoy, but I do appreciate the glamour of the Academy Awards.

Speaking of glamour, I have been loving sexy, nude lip colors and volumizing hair products:

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate 41

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate 42

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate 43

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate ($5.79 USD) — Nude lips are having a major moment. Whether you’re a delicate rose or a caramel beauty, every girl needs the perfect au naturel lipstick. The Nude Collection stars ten new shades of Lasting Finish Lipstick, each carefully created by Kate. You’ll love the tan nude hue of shade #043, flattering for girls with warm undertone. Add warmth to skin with three pretty nude pink shades: #040, #041 and #042. Brighten-up your look with coral-hued #044, rose-tinted #045 and olive nude #046. Or give dimension to lips with the brandy, chocolate and coffee tones of #047, #048 and #049. Find your fave then go nude with total confidence and a full-on London attitude. Don’t know which nude is right for you? Keep an eye out for Rimmel lipstick map on social media platforms to find your perfect nude.

What I think: I received the four lightest shades, 40-43. They are all perfect for my skintone. I think 41 is my favorite, because it has a pink tone to it. I usually share makeup I receive, but I am hoarding all four shades because I love them all! This lipstick is so moisturizing and looks amazing on. I might have to go get a few more! LOVE!!!

Purchase at Walmart stores.

NYC New York Color Expert Last Matte Lip Color (3.99 USD) — With a comfort of a gloss and a color impact of a matte lipstick, the NYC NEW YORK COLOR Expert last matte lip lacquer offers you the most glamorous look ever. With High Impact, explosive color, a velvet smooth, non-sticky finish and full coverage, this gloss has it all. Available shades: Bowery Matte Berry, Riverdale Matte Red, Noho Matte Nude (above).

What I think: Even though it is a huge trend, I haven’t tried many matte lipsticks. I do like this one. It is affordable and the nude is a great color. When I applied it, it dried down to a moisturizing matte, and it wasn’t drying at all. I have issues with lipstick traveling under my lip, but this didn’t!

Purchase at mass market retailers.

What I think: I love some volume in my hair, so I was excited to try these products. Both products do add lots of volume. I apply the mousse on damp hair and it doesn’t leave it sticky. I dry my hair and add the hairspray. It keeps the volume going. I also like to spray my hair, pile it up on the top of my head and let it dry. When I take my hair down, it is big and bouncy. Fun for going out!
