Obsessed: Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo

Twitter parties are my thanggg! As a SAHM, I am socially isolated. I have learned to accept, more precisely, depend on my computer and cell phone to get me through the day. If I can't go out and party with people, at least I can do it at home, and I get to talk about my favorite things....beauty products, clothes.... PLUS, I have won lots of amazing beauty products by just chatting with random beauty brands. Recently, I tweeted at the Moroccan Oil Twitter party celebrating the launch of the Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo in the UK. Moroccan Oil so kindly sent me their first dry shampoo, which turns out it is an argan-infused heaven in a bottle. 

It smells sooooo good, like a light vanilla and hint of argan's nuttiness, and lingers throughout the day...Ughhh soooo good. ::droolinggg:: I have tried every single drugstore dry shampoo - not going to name any names, but I have not been satisfied with either the blendability, oil reduction, smell, texture. etc. of any single one.

I love that it has argan oil, so I know not only are my oily roots being attended to, my hair is getting nourished at the same time! You know how those other dry shampoos feel like hairspray, and you wonder, 'Is this good for me?'.... Well, this one is!

The key ingredients to Moroccan Oil's dry shampoo is rice starch and, of course, argan oil. It comes in two varieties -- a Light tones, and Dark tones. I was sent the light tones on accident, but the rice starch is ultra-fine and blended into my hair easily. The Light Tones formula contains subtle violet undertones to help balance brassiness and bring out the best in light tones.

I like to apply dry shampoo in sections: first, down my natural part, then ever two or three inches until I cover my whole crown making sure to cover the base of my crown, then, right under that bump on the back of my head. I also really try to spray the bottle 5-6 inches away from my head per the directions. Then, I massage everything into my scalp like I am actually lathering in the shower. Then I brush it through. No white residue, or oil, and smells amazing. I am obsessed!!

Lastly, I love how affordable the dry shampoo -- $10.50!! It is also available in travel sizes, so you can take it on the go! Available via moroccanoil.com, and hopefully soon at the secret mom clubhouses, aka Target and CVS!

What's your holy grail dry shampoo?

Manomai: Skin Care Based on Your Blood Type

Image
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?  That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.  I came across Manomai  when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.  Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines:  pareben-free,   mineral oil-free,  fragrance free,  cruelty-free, and  artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the  blood types  -- the Around-the-Clock

Differin Gel: What I Wish My Dermatologist Would Have Told Me...

Image
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’  -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive,  burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work? Differin gel/adapalene is a type of synthetic retinoid. It is one of the mildest forms available. Retinoids help your skin slough off (or  desquamate ) dead skin cells at a more normal rate. Sloughing aka exfoliating your dead skin cells is beneficial in that the dead skin cells don't bind together and clog your pores. When your pores aka oil ducts are clogged, you get acne!

If you have been looking to purge yourself of chemical and preservative filled hair and skin care, then keep reading... Bogavia is a skin and hair care brand free of: parabens, mineral oil, sodium laurel sulfate, artificial fragrance, and chemical preservatives! Oh yeah, and cruelty-free!! Everything in their ingredient list is easily pronounceable and all natural with a lot of organic plant and fruit extracts. They have a line for adults and babies -- so exciting! I contacted Bogavia after learning that they crafted a baby-friendly skincare line. My sons have grown a little fascination with creams and lotions after watching my AM & PM skincare routines.
