Products For January

A little background...

With all of the products on the market, it is so difficult to decide what to try next. Each month, you will find an assortment that have come across my desk. I have tried each of them and will tell you whether or not I think that they work. Then, if you have been looking for such a product, write down the names and tuck it in your purse for easy reference the next time you visit the mall. It makes shopping for your beauty needs... so much easier.

Products For January

• E-Scent-ials
  White Chocolate Mousse Soap... does it get much better than this? It's an emollient rich cleansing bar made of cocoa butter, jojoba oil, olive, coconut and palm oils. And the bar is Huge!
  

• Biosynthesis Reconstruction System
  A citrus based mild clarifying shampoo with a deep penetrating reconstructer, and a unique cuticle sealer that works together to give you strong, soft, shiny hair. If your hair is double processed, bleached, or relaxed, it is probably in need of the BIOSYNTHESIS treatment. These products are very concentrated and will go a LONG way.
  

• Mornin Sunshine Travel Kit
  This little kit comes with a Spearmint Spritz to help you open those eyes, a bar of Peppermint & Paprika soap and a loofah in the shower to start your circulation. Spearmint and Lemon Balm Salve can be used after showering on dry lips and skin. Another hit of Spearmint Spritz and you're back in business! No coffee necessary. I took this little kit with me to Costa Rica and I loved it!
  

• 4 Styles For Each Length
  This is a great video for guys and girls in their late teens to early twenties. There are lots of great closeups and easy to understand advice on how to perfect each of several styles. There are how-to's on styling bangs, the crown area and blow drying tips and perhaps even more importantly, the tools to use for these specific looks. Product advice is also offered. The most interesting accomplishment of this video is that each model is given four different styles with the length of hair that they are sporting. It will really open your eyes as to what is possible!
  **This video will also be of interest to the new stylist looking for styles to add to his accomplishments.

• BeautiControl Lipstick Set
  Hey ladies...looking for a lipstick that won't come off when you eat, or drink? Well BeautiControl Cosmetics has one! The set comes with 1 Color On (this is your lipcolor), 1 Shine On(this is what seals the lipcolor), 1 Color Off (used to prep lip before applying color and used to take it OFF). This is a patented product exclusive of BeautiCOntrol. The product tingles a bit when first applied, but stays on longer than any lipcolor I ever used. Reviewed by Debra McComb

  **Special Mention
  One of the best masks bar by far is made by Queen Helene. It is called Mint Julep Masque. It is in a green and white container. The label says that it helps dry up acne pimples, rinses away blackheads, and helps shrink large pores. It really does all of these things. I have combination skin and use the mask once a week all over and a couple times a week on my T-zone and it has improved the look of my skin immensely. It is not too drying and it tingles on your face which feels refreshing. The best part is that my second cousin, who is Faith Hill's personal stylist, said that it is the same stuff they use in the expensive salons and at Eckerd's or the grocery store it is less than $4.00. Hope that helps.

  **Special Mention
  Aussie makes a wonderful Scrunch hair spray. It comes in a large, dark purple spray can. You can find it in the hair care aisle of just about any store that carries hair care products. You spray it in your just washed, wet hair and scunch your hair with your hands all over to create gentle curls as your hair drys. It is a nice alternative to perms. You do not get a tight curl like you would with a perm, but you also don't have to worry about damaging your hair. Try it!
