L’Oreal Pure Clay cleansers and a new mask

loreal pure clay collection review

L’Oreal has added to their Pure Clay Collection! There are three new, clay based cleansers as well as a new mask made from Kaolite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and Seaweed. Love!

The L’Oreal Pure Clay cleansers compliment the three original clay masks introduced by L’Oreal last summer. The cleansers are a great way to enhance the benefits reaped by using the L’Oreal clay masks. They clear up skin, leaving pores clear. They are almost like a mini-facial!

These Pure Clay cleansers by L’Oreal are great to use daily; while I recommend using the matching mask once per week. I usually do my mask on Sunday evenings. My favorite from the collection is the Charcoal Pure Clay cleanser. It really keeps my pores clean; and does a great job removing dirt and impurities.

There is a new mask in town! L’Oreal has added a new mask to their Pure Clay Collection. This blue clay mask combines Kaolinite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and seaweed to create a gentle mask aptly named the “Clear Comfort Mask.”

This is a gentle mask which is great for soothing skin that might be irritated from the elements, makeup, or bad products. I love using it on a Sunday evening when my skin has had a lot of sun exposure and my SPF failed me a bit; yes, this means when I have a slight sunburn. haha

If you loved the first three Pure Clay masks by L’Oreal, you will love the new Seaweed mask! I hope L’Oreal comes out with a matching Pure Clay cleanser for the seaweed soon!

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish review

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish review

pictured: Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish is a beautiful, dark rose hue from Chanel’s limited edition collection of rose colored nail polishes introduced in the pre-fall season. If Chanel’s fall 2017 nail polish collection is not your thing, this pretty, classic hue is a great alternative nail color for fall.

Although Rose Confidentiel nail polish is the lightest rose hue from Chanel’s four  rose-hued, limited edition, nail polish collection, it is on the darker side as far as the rose color family is concerned. This falls right in line with autumn’s dark color palette. I love Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish as an alternative to the edgier colors in Chanel’s main nail polish collection for fall.

I tested out Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. It is long lasting! I love how Chanel’s nail polish is five free, while still being a long lasting formula.

Rose Confidentiel by Chanel is a classic rose hue with cool undertones. It is an easy color to wear right now, and well into the fall season. I love how it plays well with shades of blue, pink, and autumnal hues.

When I want a more classic nail, Chanel Rose Confidentiel will be the nail polish color I reach for this fall season. What do you think of it? You can find Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish online here.


Frizzy hair solutions | How to tame frizzy hair

frizzy hair solutions c/o Garnier from left: cooler bag for the beach (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it will keep your food cold at the beach!) / Sleek Shine conditioner / Sleek Shine shampoo / Anti-Frizz serum / Zing citrus zinger water bottle (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it is a water game changer) /  Sleek Shine leave-in conditioner / beach radio speaker (won’t solve frizzy hair, but it will entertain you!) / smooth air dry cream / face mask moisture bomb pink and blue

Raise your hand if you get frizzy hair? Especially during the summer! My hand is so far up, I can’t even see it! We get fog here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the fog makes my hair frizz like crazy! I am always looking for low-maintenance, frizzy hair solutions to keep my mane tame.

Here in the Bay Area, I am always asking my friends how to tame frizzy hair, because let’s face it, this is a problem! We don’t use a lot of hair products in California, our hair styles are more windblown then in other parts of the country. But, just because we like a little beach hair here or there, this does not mean we want frizzy hair. We need to find the perfect frizzy hair solutions to keep our natural hair do’s on point; without looking like we stuck our fingers in a socket.

Garnier has a fabulous collection of hair care products which are the perfect solutions to frizzy hair. The Garnier Fructis Sleek Shine collection includes shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and an anti-frizz serum. When used together, they are the perfect line of defense against frizzy hair; which I also like to refer to as “Fog Hair.”

I love the Garnier Fructis Sleek Shine collection for combating my Fog Hair. My favorite product from the collection, which is must-have for anyone who needs to tame frizzy hair, is the Anti-Frizz Serum. This stuff is genius! The Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum is perfect for using while blow-drying hair, or to use as a line of defense against fog or humidity; both enemies which make our hair frizz up like crazy.

For travel, I love the Garnier Smooth Air Dry cream. It is a great way to smooth out frizz while on the go. This is something I keep in my gym bag, beach bag, and in the car for trips. You never know when your hair might frizz up! The Garnier Smooth Air Dry cream will tame that frizz down; it is a great frizzy hair solution!
