Feeling Frizzy?

Go from frizzy to skinny in a snap!

This stuff can make you feel fabulous with just a little dollop!  Not very many products help my hair, it is super fine, and straight as an arrow, BUT there are days when I don't feel like straightening the ends and this works wonders to control my frizz and help it shine like a star.

It is Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum



It is simple really, put a little bit in your hand (when I say a little I mean it, a lot goes a loooong way) you can always add more, but can't take it out. ;)  Then rub it through your wet hair, I usually stick to the bottom half of my hair to avoid looking greasy on the top.  After I dry my hair if I still think I need a little bit more I try to remember to do it before I use my flat iron because it will help protect it from the heat.  

The big bottle shown in the picture will last you a LONG time, but they do sell a smaller travel size that is perfect if you travel a lot or shower at the gym.  

I buy this product from my hair dresser at All About You but most salons and beauty stores have it.

They come in .85oz., 5.1oz, and 8.5oz 
(Prices are around:  $15, $20, and $30)

Now the real question is, why can they make a bottle of Super Skinny Serum for your hair and not your body?  NOW that would be something ;)

Estee Lauder 'Double Wear' Concealer

One of the not so fun parts of having un-ruly skin is having to cover it up!  Thank goodness for things like this product that helps tremendously.  It blends so well and doesn't flake for a flawless finish!  One of the keys (especially for sensitive skin) is that it is oil FREE! The product is:

Estee Lauder 'Double Wear' Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer SPF 10
(I know...kind of a long name)


This product is something I just recently discovered with the help of a beauty consultant at Nordstrom.  I told her I was annoyed that my current concealer would wear off and then leave me with redness at the end of the day or night.  She promised I would like it and told me to give it a try...so I did.  I am one happy (concealed) camper!  She was right, it stayed on all day...and kept things covered!  

The product has an easy applicator wand that makes it easy to use.  I use after my moisturizer and before my  foundation.  If I have something I really need to cover, then I go back over it after my foundation.  Or if I forget I put it on after my foundation and it works just as well...just make sure to blend well with your finger.

I use the color Light/Medium and seems to work well with my skin that is fading into a winter color :(

The price is $22.00 and I purchased it at Nordstrom which is always good when you are trying a new product because their return policy is so easy.

Say goodbye to pesky redness and hi to flawless skin!!  Yippppeee!
What is your go to concealer?
