Get Smooth Lips

1. Exfoliate: Slather on a lip balm and exfoliate those smackers.  You can use a soft toothbrush to scrub any dead skin away.

2. Moisturize: After exfoliating, re-apply a balm containing petrolatum, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, dimethicone, or ceramides. Avoid waxy formulas (their ingredients may not penetrate) as well as anything heavily flavored or fragranced (which can make chapping even worse).

3. Add color: Try one with a tint to add just a hint of color leaving your lips super duper kissable.

End of Summer Hair…

Summer’s almost over, and perhaps you’re feeling a bit bored with your strands. Or maybe you’re simply looking for an easy-to-do, stylish ponytail to help you switch things up. From edgy to sweet, here are a few great end of summer styles perfect for in-between days.

With a bit of volume at the crown and a slightly off-center positioning, Julia Roberts’s pretty ponytail is a no-fail option. First, add Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Spray. Part the hair to the side, ease the hair at the crown, and gather back into a ponytail right under the occipital bone.

Shiny happy hair products for the curly, the frizzy, and the stressed.

Having curly hair is a bit like being a medieval knight – you spend the better part of your adult life on the quest for something holy, magical, and maybe a total myth. For crusaders, it was a blessed metal cup.  For curly girls like me?  It’s a product line that tames your snarls and coils, without surrendering your hair to a flat-iron, a weekly blowout, or a relaxer.

No two curls are alike.  They should be treated as the wonder they are.  The Curl Conscience Product Line by Bumble and Bumble was created specifically for Curly Hair Types.  This product line was created using a unique moisture complex and curl enhancing enzyme which help forms bonds to help curl definition.

If you are a curly-cue…this product line would be great for you.  Bumble and Bumble is available at Holiday Salon.
