Review: Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum #Jurlique

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum

Jurlique, the brand known for its natural skincare, introduces Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum. This serum concentrate features a proprietary active complex, Naturadiance PB18+, to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, to help increase elasticity, to restore radiance and increase skin hydration. Anti-oxidants create a defense shield that protects against environmental aggressors. Skin is left visibly glowing, radiant. younger looking and well hydrated. The exclusive Naturadiance PB18+ complex combines 15 Bio-Intrinsic TM botanical extracts with 3 breakthrough ingredients to deliver potent anti-oxidant properties to help protect, revitalize and enhance your skin’s recovery cycle. Persian silk extract to help strengthen skin cell capacity to shield against environmental stress. Whu-zhu-yu extract possesses excellent microcirculation boosting and skin smoothing properties. And peach leaf extract to help recover skin vitality and promote cellular regeneration.

I have been using this serum for over a month now and I have noticed that my skin is definitely much more hydrated, less dull looking and looks so radiant, almost dewy. The Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum is a very light off white opaque gel serum that sinks right into the skin immediately, leaving it feeling soft, supple and moisturized. It has a beautiful, herbal aroma that is very light. I find that this serum has definitely left my skin in much better condition than prior to its use. My skin has been glowing lately and it feels so much softer than before. Jurlique always comes out with products that deliver on their ‘promises’. I am not the only one that feels this way either. There are many, many reviews on the website for this serum and they are all “glowing”! I think you will find that if you try this serum, you will not be disappointed in the least. This serum is great for all skin types, as it is very light. Even the oiliest of skins can use it. This is always my favorite natural brand, the products always work and they are of the highest quality. I adore Jurlique!

Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum comes in two sizes, 30 mL for $54.00 and a luxury size of 100 mL for $150.00. This serum is available where Jurlique products are sold, www.jurlique.com, www.sephora.com, www.beauty.com, www.skinstore.com, SEPHORA stores and these stores: http://www.jurlique.com/store-locator/.

I Am THE Makeup Junkie’s February #hitlist #iamthemakeupjunkie #february

Last month I was sick so I did not get to write up a #hitlist for the month. So this month’s #hitlist will be twice as large. I have quite a few products that I want to recommend. I consider these items to be great products and are worth their price. They perform their jobs and go above and beyond their duties. I highly recommend these products and give them my stamp of approval.

boscia tsubaki cleansing oil-gel









boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil-Gel: This cleansing gel with Tsubaki Oil (an anti-oxidant) is just plain awesome. It cleanses extremely well and you only need a small amount. It also leaves skin feeling very soft and not dry at all! Available at www.boscia.com, www.sephora.com and SEPHORA stores. $28.00 for 5 fl oz. / 150 ml. Check out my giveaway, I am giving away one bottle of the cleanser! http://bit.ly/1hCBMmO
nakedlipgloss_thumb[3]
Urban Decay Naked Lip Gloss: a lipgloss and balm rolled into one. Looks and feels great on lips and is very nourishing. Comes in 9 shades. $20.00 Available anywhere UD is sold, such as www.urbandecay.com, www.sephora.com and SEPHORA stores. I love this gloss. It kicks butt as a gloss and stays on lips a long time. I prefer the shimmer shades, but all the colors are nice.
maybelline buff lipstick
Maybelline Color Sensational The Buffs Lipcolor Collection: As part of the nude shade trend for spring, Maybelline has come out with 10 nude shades of their Color Sensational Lipcolor in a gorgeous collection that is not to be missed. I picked up 5 shades for myself because these are so pretty. Everyone is bound to find at least 4 shades that will be good for her complexion. They range from a light nude pink Bare All to the darkest chocolate Expresso Exposed. $7.49 at mass market retailers.
RV_PhotoReady_Skinlights_maui_soldier_600Av1_jpg_preview
Revlon Skinlights Collection: Back again from Revlon, the best illuminator for skin comes in 4 shades that work to make skin look gorgeous in any light.  http://bit.ly/1o8sb98 $12.99 and available at mass market retailers such as Walgreens. It works with the ‘rosy nude’ trend that is going on now: http://bit.ly/1mG4F4x or http://bit.ly/1lhhC7I as a great pick me up for winter skin: http://bit.ly/1ftGH6e.


sephora upside down mascara
SEPHORA Upside Down Mascara: $22.00. I know this mascara looks weird. It has two brushes and it can be used 3 different ways. The reviews on SEPHORA are not good but for me, it is the best mascara I have ever used. It gives me full, long lashes and that is all I am asking for. Use it with one brush on top and one on the bottom of the top lashes and you get intense volume; use both brushes together and you get the longest lashes you have ever seen and finally take the bottom brush and get definition for the lower lashes. The biggest complaints about this mascara are that it clumps. It does do that but only if you don’t wipe the wands. If you do wipe them clean then you don’t get the clumpiness. Go ahead and try it out, if you don’t like it return it!
sigma beauty warm neutrals palettesigma smoke screen eye shadow palette
Sigma Warm Neutrals and Smoke Screen Eye shadow Palettes:  $39.00 each, these palettes have 12 highly pigmented eye shadows that are so beautiful. I love Sigma Beauty and think that this brand is going to take off soon. It already has a huge cult following amongst bloggers but I know they have what it takes to be a great brand. Their products are of the highest quality. The eye shadows are pigmented, have almost no fallout and last all day. The matte shades are silky smooth, not chalky. All of their products are great. I adore their brushes and boy do they have a lot of brushes to choose from! www.sigmabeauty.com
miracle balm
Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Balm: Out within the next month, this balm will replace the Heal Everything Balm from Miracle Skin Transformer. Made with 30 moisturizers, the M3 Complex and emollient ingredients such as:Tamanu Oil, Manuka Honey, Shea Butter, Olive Oil,  Coconut Oil and Jojoba Oil. This balm heals skin that has been compromised by sunburn, chemical peels, laser therapy, allergic reactions, etc. I love to use it after I have done my chemical peels to help restore moisture to my skin and heal it. It also helps with inflammation and is very soothing. $36.00 for 1.5 oz./45 mL and will be available on www.miracleskintransformer.com, www.sephora.com, www.nordstrom.com and www.ulta.com.
    illumask anti-aging
IlluMask Anti-Aging Light Therapy Mask: I saw a press release about this mask and thought it sounded weird. Until I saw this in Walgreens. So I bought it. The mask is $29.99 and it comes in an anti-aging mask or an anti-acne mask. My acne seems under control lately so I bought the anti-aging one. It has 30 uses out of it. You put the mask on, turn it on and lay down for 15 minutes while it is on. This is done every night for 30 days until it is out of uses. So far I have used it for one week. It is funny but I already see a difference in my skin. I use it in conjunction with my skincare routine but my skin has been looking awesome lately. I have much less pigmentation and my skin looks brighter and smoother. Also it is much softer. I cannot wait to see it after the 30 uses. My one question is, do I need to keep using it every month? I emailed them but have not heard back. I think I will have to call the 1-800 number to ask someone. I do think it works and you should give it a try. I am interested to see how the acne one would perform too! Available at Walgreens, Ulta, Wal-Mart and other mass market retailers.
laura mercier foundation primer radiance
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance: I have always liked Laura Mercier’s Foundation Primer. And I LOVE the new Foundation Primer Radiance. This new primer gives skin a gorgeous glow that makes it look so pretty and young looking. Just a little bit on the skin prior to foundation or some mixed in with foundation makes the skin look luminous. I can get too “glowy” if you apply too much, so just a little bit is needed. $33.00 for 1.7 oz.; $19.50 for 1.0 oz. travel size; $44.00 for 3.4 oz. bonus size. This primer came out as part of her new Spring Renaissance Collection: http://bit.ly/1hl1a20.

So this is my #hitlist for the month of February. I hope you find some fun new finds that you like.
Until Next Time~

Kat VonD Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette #KatVonD

Kat VonD Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette

This spring Kat VonD came out with an adorable eye shadow palette that is full of bright, spunky colors. The Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette has 8 eye shadows that are highly pigmented and just plain beautiful. All are long wearing, full coverage shadows that deliver matte, pearl and high-glitter finishes. One is even a transformative color veil.

 The palette contains the following colors: Selena (glitter purple), Dayglo (transformer shade, iridescent white), Galore (pearl peach), Placebo (matte peony pink), Santeria (glitter greenish grey), Archangel (sparkle seafoam green), South (matte beige) and Dog Roses (sparkle bronze).

LOOK 1:

For this look I used Santeria in the crease, outer 1/3 of the upper lid and underneath the eye to line. I used Selena on the inner corner of the upper lid and Placebo on the center of the upper lid. I took Archangel and used it under the brow and blended it with Santeria. I lined my eye with L’Oreal’s Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Liner in Violet ($8.49). My mascara is SEPHORA’s Upside Down Mascara ($22.00). On my cheeks I used NYX Illuminator in Enigmatic. On my lips I used Shu Uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Shine Supreme Dark Beige Lipstick ($30.00) with Kat VonD’s Transformer Liquid Lipstick ($19.00) on top.

For this look I used Selena in the crease, then I took Santeria and used it in the outer 1/3 of the upper lid and lined the lower lid with it. I used Archangel on the upper lid and used South under the brow with Dayglo on top. I lined my eye with L’Oreal’s Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Liner in Violet ($8.49). I used L’Oreal’s Butterfly Mascara on my lashes ($8.99). For blush I used Coral Glow Blush ($9.80) from the new Forever 21 makeup collection and used their Hi-Lighter on top of the blush ($9.80) on my lips I used Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Satin Matte Beige Topaz Lipstick ($30.00).

Kat VonD’s Esperanza Eyeshadow Palette is $36.00 and is available from www.sephora.com or SEPHORA stores. As you can see from the looks above, the shadows are highly pigmented and they have very little to no fallout. With primer underneath the shadows last all day long. I love how bright they are and I think they are a perfect addition to the nude shades we have been seeing all spring. It gives me a nice break for a change from the usual routine. I think this is a nice addition to any makeup junkie’s palette collection.

Gwen Stefani Launches New Accessories Collection: gx by Gwen Stefani Available Exclusively at ShoeDazzle #GwenStefani #ShoeDazzle

 

Gwen Stefani launches new accessories collection: gx by Gwen Stefani available exclusively at ShoeDazzle.com/gx.  (PRNewsFoto/ShoeDazzle)

 

Singer, songwriter and fashion entrepreneur Gwen Stefani is launching her new accessories label, gx by Gwen Stefani, which will be available exclusively at ShoeDazzle.com/gx.

As of today, gx by Gwen Stefani is now shoppable in its dedicated boutique on ShoeDazzle.com, with new styles launching monthly. Each release will include both shoes and handbags, priced from $69.95-$110.95.

"I'm so excited to be launching my new accessories line gx. The collection is fun, stylish and has some attitude. The idea behind gx is to design high quality and amazing product that I can't wait to wear but at the same time is really well priced."

The debut collection mixes elements of tribal, pop, punk, and street influences. Inspirations coalesce in material and construction: African influences surface through wax-cord lacing, braiding, weaving and pattern. Gwen Stefani's personal style can be seen through the mesh and lace-up details and the graphic palette of black, white, red and cobalt. Key silhouettes include slim island platforms, single soles, high wedge sandals, and oversized totes. Equally reflective of Gwen's trendsetting style and the emerging runway footwear looks for 2014, the line is both structured and sexy.

ShoeDazzle Chief Stylist Rachel Zoe says, "I couldn't be more excited for the launch of gx by Gwen Stefani for ShoeDazzle! Gwen is an incredible friend and designer. Her style has always been a huge source of inspiration to me."

Beauty Tips to Beat the Cold #EcoTools

Winter can notoriously wreak havoc on skin and hair, but a few easy adjustments to your beauty routine can help you look and feel great on even the dreariest of days.  EcoTools®, a leader in beauty and bath, shows you how to beat the cold and get glowing for spring and ready for the warmer weather.  

"When the air is dry and cold, it is important to take care of skin and hair to replace the moisture that it steals," said Eva Oreskovich, Executive Director of Global Marketing at Paris Presents Incorporated.  "This winter has been especially harsh, and EcoTools is here to help with our full line of bath accessories."

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Moisturizing is one of the most important rules of thumb to beat dryness. Choose a quality lotion and use it daily to put much-needed moisture back into skin. Get extra mileage out of your moisturizer by exfoliating with the
EcoTools Dual Sided Body Buff ($1.99) before applying lotion. The gentle exfoliation will help skin hold moisture longer.

Break Away From Breakouts
Dirt and oil can clog pores and lead to blackheads, as can dry, flaky skin. To prevent blackheads and whiteheads from surfacing, use the
EcoTools Pure Complexion Facial Sponge ($5.99) to easily exfoliate.  It is handmade with 100 percent natural Konjac fiber, a highly renewable root that is used in Asia as a natural exfoliant.  The Pure Complexion Facial Sponge is available in either sensitive skin or deep cleansing to perfectly suite your skin type.

Upgrade Your Body Wash
Overly fragrant soaps can further dry out skin. During colder months, opt for a super-rich, moisturizing body wash and lather up using the
EcoPouf® Delicate Bath Sponge ($2.49). The sponge is silky-soft and extra-large to deliver amazing lather and gentle cleansing, even for the most sensitive skin.

Help Out Hair
While summer often gets the rap as being hard on hair with the sun and chlorinated pools, winter doesn't go easy on the follicles either. Chilly temperatures can leave strands dry and fragile. Indulge in a nourishing hair treatment once a week to combat dryness. Regularly use deep conditioner, or apply hair oil to damp hair. Try washing hair every other day as to not strip away hair's natural oils using the
EcoTools Shower Cap & Storage Case ($6.99) to protect hair in between lathers. 

Step Up Your Foot Care Regimen
The cold can promote chapping and cracking, so it's important to care for feet daily to make sure they are ready for their spring debut. Treat yourself to an at-home pedicure with a few easy steps. Soak feet in warm water to soften calluses, then use the
EcoTools Foot Brush & Pumice ($3.99) to gently exfoliate. Trim nails and then pick a pretty polish to finish.

All these winter-busting EcoTools products are available online at EcoTools.com.  Use code BATH14 at check out to receive 25 percent off through March 11, 2014. 

All EcoTools products are made with renewable, cruelty-free and recycled materials. For more information on EcoTools' full line of bath accessories, super-soft makeup brushes or new hair brush line, visit ecotools.com or facebook.com/ecotools.

About EcoTools®
Living Beautifully is Our Mantra. Helping women look beautiful, live beautifully™ is what EcoTools, a brand from Paris Presents Incorporated, is all about. The EcoTools collection of cosmetic accessories, hair brushes and bath and body products features renewable, animal cruelty-free and recyclable materials. In a continued effort to give back, EcoTools has founded the Living Beautifully Project, which donates to organizations that represent a blend of green living and beauty.

 

Rant: Rite-Aid and CVS, Keep Up With The Times Please! #Rite-Aid #CVS

printable couponsYesterday I went into Rite-Aid to purchase some moisturizer for my 13 year old daughter. She has sensitive skin, so I buy Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer SPF 15. Rite-Aid has signs up all over their store for videos you can watch and get coupons. They had one for this very product. It was a $3.00 off coupon. So I went on my iPhone and watched the video. I was hoping I would be able to get the coupon and apply it to my store card and get a very substantial discount. When I went to check out I was told the coupon had to be printed out and handed in for the $3.00 off. What? Why have the signs up if you cannot take advantage of the offer? The clerk did tell me I could come in the next day with my receipt and get a $3.00 cash refund. The problem is I am disabled and it is hard for me to get out everyday. I only get out of the house 2x-3x a week usually. She gave me the number of Rite-Aid’s corporate office (1-800-Rite-Aid) to call and complain because frankly, I am hopping mad about the whole thing. It is just plain idiotic.

Rite-Aid needs to catch up with the 21st century. Seriously. They need to add these video coupons to the store cards so that people who watch them can load to the store cards immediately afterwards. I am quite sure that many people see the signs in the store and want to watch these quick videos to get the coupons. They are usually for $1.00-$4.00 off.

I called the corporate office. Here is what the woman on the phone said to me: She told me that the merchant requests the coupons be on paper to print out and get sent back to them. And I was told it was because they assume you will watch the videos at home before you go to the store. She told me that I should go to my computer and watch all the videos for the products I wanted to get prior to leaving home. The logic to this is flawed because often I make many impulse purchases based on coupons I see in the store, or I am just going into Rite-Aid on the way home from doing something else and most of the time I would honestly forget to do that. I forget a lot because of meds I take. Most people won’t do this I believe.

Rite-Aid is not the only store with this coupon issue. CVS has the same problem. They have a gazillion coupons that get printed out when you scan your store card at the kiosk in the store. Or at checkout. People don’t want to carry all of those coupons. They would rather have a small printout of the list with the coupons loaded to their store cards.

I don’t believe it is impossible for these stores to have the POS (point-of-sale) or POP (point-of-purchase) (Thanks Stevie for telling me the proper names!) items loaded to store cards. They just need to get their software engineers to design the software for it. Rite-Aid and CVS need to catch up with Walgreens, who already has this system on their Balance Rewards cards. It can be done! Rant over…

Until Next Time~

DECLEOR Celebrates 40 Years of Visionary Beauty The Past, Present and Future of the Leader in Aromatherapy Cosmetic and Professional Skincare #Decleor

For 40 years, DECLEOR PARIS has been the trusted Leader in Aromatherapy Cosmetic and Professional Skincare. As the brand celebrates its 40 year anniversary in 2014, it's a time to honor DECLEOR's commitment to offering a unique art of beauty based on the power of nature's purest and most active ingredients.

DECLEOR 40th Anniversary Stamp.  (PRNewsFoto/DECLEOR)DECLEOR Logo.(PRNewsFoto/DECLEOR)

Understanding that beauty and well-being are intrinsically linked, DECLEOR offers a unique sensorial experience that visibly enhances the skin's natural beauty and radiance. DECLEOR scientifically selects and masterfully blends premium essential oils to provide proven skincare solutions that heighten the senses and evoke total relaxation and well-being. Trusted by the world's best beauty professionals, DECLEOR offers specialist products and exclusive massage techniques to deliver ultimate skincare results and professional care.

DECLEOR: Creation and Innovation

DECLEOR was created in 1974 by Solange Dessimoulie, a woman bursting with energy and self-will. During a time when the cosmetic industry still favored active ingredients of animal origin, Solange devoted her training to discovering a new innovation in skin health: the powerful and extraordinary benefits of essential oils. Since then, DECLEOR's development has been built upon three founding values: Naturalness, Sensorality and Effectiveness.

After years of research in the science of plant energies, Solange was introduced to renowned Aromatherapist, Caroline Colliard, and a life-changing encounter ensued that would become the  key to the success of DECLEOR.  It was through Caroline's hard work and spirit that Aromatherapy, the art of masterfully blending essential oils in an ultra-precise dosage to produce effective products derived from the highest quality natural plants, officially became a science.  DECLEOR was the first brand to introduce the term Aromatherapy to cosmetics and, as a true pioneer in the industry, created the brand's cult product: AROMESSENCE™, which is still celebrated today.

DECLEOR's 100% active, 100% natural AROMESSENCE™ serums concentrate the full expertise of the DECLEOR laboratories and are made from essential oils which treat the skin and increase the effectiveness of skincare products subsequently applied. Thanks to the microbicidal and antiseptic properties of essential oils, AROMESSENCE™ serums offer deep treatment to the skin, ensuring incomparable healthy skin that glows with well-being and radiance.

The effectiveness of the AROMESSENCE™ serums brought to light DECLEOR's exclusive "Aroma Duo Concept," a beauty ritual which features an AROMESSENCE™ serum along with a corresponding day cream for each specific skin type that when used together can dramatically improve results and effectiveness.  Whether your complexion is normal, sensitive, dry, mature, combination or pigmented – or your body needs refining, firming or relaxing – there's an "Aroma Duo" solution for unparalleled results and noticeably healthier skin.  The Aroma Duo Concept is at the heart of DECLEOR and is expertly crafted into each unique skincare collection.

DECLEOR Today: 40 Years of Expertise and Innovation

Over the past 40 years, DECLEOR has become the world leader in Aromatherapy, with a legacy rooted in the science of plant energies, combined with an in-depth understanding of the body's vital energies.  DECLEOR's fundamental research and product developments cover over 50 essential oils used in more than 50 unique formulations designed to target every skin concern. The brand collaborates with best suppliers of essential oils, collecting raw materials with quality harvesting, extracting and conservation methods. DECLEOR continues to give back to nature year after year, particularly to Madagascar, where DECLEOR sources over 25% of the raw materials used in their formulations.

With the help of the ASMADA Association, DECLEOR has implemented an eco-responsible and sustainable management project which helps preserve the Madagascar ecosystem and improves the living conditions of local populations. This includes projects focusing on reforestation, access to drinking water and solar electrification for schools. Environmental commitment remains a top priority for DECLEOR and the brand will continue to give back to nature.

Through quality essential oils and Aromatherapy, DECLEOR's professional spa rituals and products provide unparalleled skincare benefits. The brand offers a targeted choice of relaxing, high performing and personalized treatments for face and body for both women and men and a true mosaic of treatments customizable according to skincare needs. The sense of well-being provided by the exclusive treatment techniques combined with the effectiveness of the products is truly unmatched.

Originally available only to professional institutes and spas, DECLEOR is now represented in more than 10,000 points of sale across 70 countries. This expansion will only continue in the coming years, driven by the same passion for Aromatherapy and commitment to excellence that the founders instilled in the brand 40 years ago.

DECLEOR Tomorrow: The Legacy Continues

To commemorate the brand's 40th Anniversary, DECLEOR will introduce a new AROMESSENCE™ Serum in 2014: AROMESSENCE™ Marjoram to provide deep nourishing benefits for the skin. The addition of this cult product highlights the continued growth and innovation of the brand and its commitment to quality and excellence. With this new product, DECLEOR celebrates four decades in the service of beauty, naturally.

DECLEOR Paris, the Leader in Aromatherapy Cosmetic and Professional Skincare for 40 years, is committed to harnessing the best of the plant world for the health of your skin.  With a legacy rooted in the science of plant energies combined with an in-depth understanding of the body's vital energies, our R&D Scientists in France continually study the plant world to develop innovations for skin health.  Found in spas and salons across the globe, DECLEOR products and spa treatments offer a unique art of beauty based on the power of essential oils and plant extracts that heighten the senses and invite the body to fully experience relaxation and well-being.  At the heart of DECLEOR are daytime AROMESSENCE™ treatment serums and nighttime treatment balms, 100% natural, pure, active and preservative-free essential oil blends that regenerate the skin, drain toxins, treat the skin from within and impart lasting radiance. AROMESSENCE™, exclusive to DECLEOR, improve the efficacy of skincare products applied subsequently. For more information, please visit: www.Decleorusa.com

Review: Organix luxurious moroccan argan crème shampoo & conditioner #Organix

organix moroccan creme line

Organix has recently come out with a new luxurious line of hair care products that contain argan oil, to leave hair soft and shiny. The line includes shampoo, conditioner, an opulent hair masque and a leave in hydration mist. Argan oil is known for its ability to help heal hair, smooth the hair cuticle, nourish the hair to leave it incredibly soft, super-hydrated and incredibly shiny. The products are great for all hair, even color treated hair. A few months ago I reviewed the morrocan argan crème sheer opulence masque. Loved it. A lot. Take a look at that review too. That is the deep conditioner in the line, it is great for when you need to repair some damage to your hair.

 

organix moroccan argan shampoo

luxurious moroccan argan crème shampoo 385 ml/13 fl.oz. $7.99

What I love about this sulfate-free formula is that the formula is thick and rich, it lathers beautifully. It is great for dry and damaged hair. Hydrating argan oil smoothes the cuticle to nourish hair, leaving it soft, shiny and split ends are mended. I always love Organix shampoos and the luxurious moroccan argan crème shampoo is definitely at the top of my list as the best of the bunch. It cleans hair extremely well, leaving it feeling soft, not squeaky, stripped and damaged. The argan oil is fairly high at the top of the ingredient list, so it definitely helps keep hair conditioned.

luxurious moroccan argan crème conditioner 385 ml/13 fl.oz. $7.99

organix moroccan argan creme conditioner

This conditioner uses argan oil to smooth the hair and leave it manageable. After shampooing hair, apply this thick, rich conditioner to hair and leave on during shower or bath. Wait 3-5 minutes and rinse. Hair is left feeling so soft, once dry you will not recognize it! luxurious moroccan argan crème conditioner makes hair soft, shiny and helps to mend split ends. Hair is new again. Even though it is a light conditioner, this formula does a very good job of keeping hair looking great. The moroccan argan crème sheer opulence mask is great for deep conditioning, but this conditioner can help keep hair looking great day after day.
