Hair Care Review: Wen by Chaz Dean Conditioner

October 5, 2011 By StephanieLouise 9344 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F10%2Fhair-care-review-wen-by-chaz-dean.htmlHair+Care+Review%3A+Wen+by+Chaz+Dean+Conditioner2011-10-05+01%3A14%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F10%2Fhair-care-review-wen-by-chaz-dean-conditioner.html



I recieved this in my Green Vox Box last month and have been using it for 2 weeks straight! Normally it is purchased as a 30 day supply containing 5 products. 
WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is sold as a complete Healthy Haircare System of 3 products (Cleansing Conditioner, Styling Creme, Re Moist Intensive Hair Repair Mask) plus 2 bonus items (Texture Balm and Wide Tooth Shower Comb).  Learn more at www.notshampoo.com. 
Look forward to the full monthly review next month! 
 
BRAND ATTRIBUTES

  • Adds moisture, body, and shine
  • Works great on straight, wavy, curly and ethnic hair
  • Leaves hair soft, manageable and touchable
  • Can be used before and after any chemical treatment or when hair has been stressed
  • Strengthening action repairs damage, renews elasticity, and reduces chemical stress


What Wen by Chaz Dean says about this system:
WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in hair care. A 5-in-1 formula, this one product takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner. It cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos—it is designed so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention.
Unlike many ordinary shampoos, WEN®cleansers are made with natural ingredients and contain no sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents. They don’t lather; instead, they create smooth foam when mixed with water for shinier, healthier-looking, more manageable results. 
My Take:  I received the conditioner in Sweet Almond Mint and have been loving it ever since. The scent is way different than everything else I have. Normally I switch between Ojon, Herbal Essences, & random other brands. This is a bit different. As you guys know I’m all about saving time, so this was definitely an awesome addition. You use just this in the shower instead of anything else and can even use it as a leave in conditioner! Definitely added body and shine to my hair, but I did have a hard time removing all of the product. However, while traveling, I would take this especially since I could use it as a leave-in conditioner as well.  

Note: I don’t wash my hair every day, but every 2-3 days as this is when my hair is at its best. I also have very long, thick hair. I believe this would last me a month, but if not I would only be off by 1-2 uses.  If you wash your hair daily and have long/thick hair, please let me know if you find this doesn’t last long enough for you and I will add that to this post.

They also just came out with a pumpkin/ginger scent, which I REALLY want to try!!!

Hair Reviews: Pssssst! Dry Shampoo from Freeman Beauty + Special Deal

September 22, 2011 By StephanieLouise 9423 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F09%2Fhair-reviews-pssssst-dry-shampoo-from.htmlHair+Reviews%3A+Pssssst%21+Dry+Shampoo+from+Freeman+Beauty+%2B+Special+Deal2011-09-22+15%3A44%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F09%2Fhair-reviews-pssssst-dry-shampoo-from-freeman-beauty-special-deal.html

Product Info: The original dry shampoo to refresh and rejuvenate hair by soaking up excess oil, removing product build-up and boosting volume. Hair looks, feels and smells freshly shampooed.  Cleans, deodorizes and conditions hair-without water!

Directions: Shake can well. Hold can 6” to 8” from hair.  Lift sections of hair and lightly spray scalp and roots of each section. Wait a few minutes, then brush hair well. Style hair as desired. 

My take: Dry shampoo is a staple for me, it makes my hair happy. Because my hair has a very delicate balance (oily-dry) its important for me to get rid of product buildup and oil, without completely STRIPPING my hair to make it dry. Pssssst! Dry Shampoo is great at making my hair healthy and shiny, removing the bad while keeping the good. A lot of my dry shampoos have a strong scent, especially my more expensive ones. This simply smells clean, which I definitely prefer.
Right now, they have a deal witht the full-size bottles where you get a super cute shower cap and a $1 off coupon on your next bottle. Cool right? They also have travel sized bottles and a version for curly/wavy hair which I think is pretty cool. I had issues with my Tresemme for straight hair dry shampoo (more on that later…trust me…) but I found I loved having a version for when my hair is wavy and such. Loving the variety of sizes from Freeman Beauty though, definitely a huge plus with the plan travel regulations and such.
Special Shout-out to Girls with Colored Hair: Using Dry Shampoo will help extend your coloring, including highlights! When I had purple streaks in my hair (oh the good ol days), dry shampoo was a life savior. Get the cleaning, volume boost, and color saving technology you need with dry shampoo, seriously.

Compare to: Both high-end and drugstore versions of dry shampoo.

Where to get it: CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and other similar stores. Also available at Freeman Beauty’s website. The free shower cap and coupon are for a limited time, released during early September 2011. You can pick up the full size for $6.99 and the travel size for only $2.99! 

Full review coming soon comparing my dry shampoos from Tresemme, Origins, Oscar Blandi, Freeman Beauty, and maybe a few more!

June 2011 Birchbox

June 18, 2011 By StephanieLouise 10172 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F06%2Fjune-2011-birchbox.htmlJune+2011+Birchbox2011-06-18+17%3A47%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2011%2F06%2Fjune-2011-birchbox.html

Oh Birchbox, you have outdone yourself. No knowledge of this beauty holy grail? See my overall explanation and review RIGHT HERE.

I tell myself every month, “I shall not sneak peek my box. I shall not watch other haul videos or read blogs that will ruin the surprise.” So of course, that never lasts. I am one of the last to get my box and I get quite impatient.  Obviously, I was psyched about this months box after seeing others receive the full-size Laura Geller product. & I am no less happy now that I have received it.

Let the haul begin!!!


 So happy with
the items I recieved! Here is the breakdown:

ITEM-BRAND-AMOUNT IN SAMPLE-PRICE AND FULL-SIZE OF PRODUCT

1. Blow Up Daily Volumizing Shampoo-BLOW NY- 2FL OZ – $16 for 9 FL OZ
2. Twirl-KATE SPADE – .05 FL OZ -$65 for 1.75 FL OZ
3. Baked Blush N’ Brighten-LAURA GELLER-FULL SIZED SAMPLE- $29.50 for 0.32 OZ
4.Molecular Mist-SIRCUIT COSMECEUTICALS- 8 ML- $36 for 2 OZ
5. Stripper to Go Nail Lacquer Removers-DEBORAH LIPPMANN- 2 Mitts- $12 for 10 Mitts

Impressions: I love the Blush, which I feel is more of a bronzer. Nice shimmer, love that it is full sized, and I have been wanting to try it for the past few months. Shampoo has kind of a fresh and herbal scent. The bottle is good quality, will travel well. The nail polish mitts will be lovely to travel with too. Twirl by Kate Spade is tiny. I wish it were larger so I could try layering it with other scents, on its own, its not for me. They make it seem like its going to be fruity, which I love, but it doesn’t to me. NOTE: This could be my skin chemistry. Last, the Molecular Mist. I have been wanting to try a product like this so I’m so happy it was included. It is actually a decent size, smells nice and herbal, but not too strong. I think I will be loving it this summer. I might even buy a full size!

Overall: Very happy. You can’t beat the price. $10 for the box, when the Blush N’ Brighten in Honey Dipped alone is about $30. Very satisfied.
