Beauty Tips for Women: Art Naturals Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Set

Posted on by

I received the Art Naturals Argan Oil Duo shampoo & conditioner at a discount in exchange for my review.

Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 633

The shampoo is the restorative formula. The shampoo has a nice scent to it and lathers well. I found it cleaned without stripping the hair.  The conditioner is the hydrating formula.  It has an unusually scent but I didn’t find it horrible.  The conditioner is thick and provides good slip. The shampoo and conditioner’s label indicates that it is paraben free, sulfate free, cruelty free, contains 100% pure organic oils.

If you are following the curly girl method this duo is not for you. I provided a picture of the ingredients list.  The shampoo contains cocamidopropyl betaine and all the oils are towards the bottom of the ingredients list.  The conditioner is packed with a lot of great ingredients which are right at the top of the ingredient’s list but it contains silicons: amodimethicone, dimethicone, and cyclomethicone.

I wanted to like this set but the ingredients were not what I had hoped for.

Beauty Tips for Women: Scunci Upzing Double Stretch Comb

Posted on by

On the blog is a beauty product review of the Scunci Medium Upzing Double Stretch Comb.  I’m always looking for hair gadgets to try.  The Upzing is very easy to use; just insert one comb and stretch the second comb over to the opposite side and slide combs together.

I have curly hair and the Upzing is great for creating hairdos that don’t damage/tangle my curls.  I love how fashionable it looks and how easy it is to showcase my curls.  PhotoGrid_1409614650038

I give the Scunci Upzing 5 brains.

Beauty tips for Women: Blow drying your hair using Turbo Power’s Turbo 1500

Posted on by

Of all the beauty tips for hair that I have heard and practiced, the one that is the most important to me is the investment in a good blow dryer.  I’m not a professional hairdresser, beautician, hair stylist or nail technician but I do enjoy dabbling in those areas.  I host what I like to call Blow Drying parties.  I mainly do friends and families hair Fridays for the weekend or Sundays to start off the workweek.  So I need a reliable blow dryer that will get the job done.

Here is a picture of my trusty blow dryer made by Turbo Power Inc. – Turbo 1500.  I purchased this blow dryer in 2001, so that is 11 years with the same blow dryer.  The Turbo 1500 has never broken down on me.  Granted I do clean it and take care not to mangle the cord.  This Turbo 1500 is a professional stylist blow dryer made in Italy.

Until I had purchased this 11 years ago, I would go through blow dryers like water.  I have curly hair and can blow dry my hair straight without any issues using this blow dryer.  Here is a picture of my hair curly then blown dry straight with the Turbo 1500.

Here is a picture of a blow dry I did over the weekend along with the products I used.  I totally forgot to take a picture of her hair before hand.  The hair care products are Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Leave In Conditioner.  As you can tell she has highlights that look awesome but all the dying has dried out her hair.  The combination of products used gave her hair a lot hydration and conditioning, which she needed.  I used my trusty Wet Brush to detangle her hair and an oval shaped brush from Goody – Get Smooth Volume Natural Shine Boar Bristles (Review coming) to dry her hair.

To finish everything off I did a simple manicure that goes with everything using Essence Modern Romance and Space Queen over it.

If you are looking for a blow dryer I strongly recommend a blow dryer made by Turbo Power Inc.  Mine is an oldie but goody and is still working great after 11 years.  So you can imagine what the newest ones can do.

 

I give Turbo Power 5 brains and recommend you to get more information from this site.
