This Spring, take the time to revitalize your hair color in-between salon visits with Shu Uemura Art of Hair’s latest innovation – Color Lustre – a new color-perfecting product for blondes! This unique balm is the first color treatment product from the brand that revives and extends blonde permanent haircolor between applications by gently depositing color while adding intense nourishment and vibrancy!

FRAGRANCE:

Color Lustre leaves a delicate aroma on the hair with a subtle, unique fragrance. Top notes evoke spring with a mixture of lily of the valley, peony and pear sorbet. Core notes add an exotic component with the smell of lotus, spices and marine. Bottom notes grant sweetness with hints of peach and raspberry melted with musk, amber and rosewood.

Suave Macadamia Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner

Best value for your money hands down: Suave Natural Infusion Macadamia Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner. It has become one of the top shampoos I’ve ever tried. It is also paraben and dye free. It has a nice smell but not too strong. If you have dry, damaged, and frizzy hair this shampoo system will instantly soften your hair and make it feel super silky. Suave, who knew. I also like the Suave Moisturizing Light Oil Spray from the same line which I like to use after my blow dry on the ends. You really don’t have to spend a fortune to wash your hair and get it right. Thank you Suave.

I absolutely can’t get enough of the Juara Clove Flower & Turmeric Anti-Aging Serum. It’s ‘clean’ meaning minus all the bad chemicals and ingredients. Now, not all natural skincare products are created equal, many of them are just way too oily and sit on your skin heavy…but not Juara!

Love it! WHAT’S IN IT: Clove Flower, Turmeric, Goji Berry and an age-reversing Palm peptide combined with fresh sea algae and hyaluronic acid infuse skin with immediate vitality, hydration and a sense of wellbeing, leaving skin radiant, soft and smooth.Alcohol free. Oil-free. Check out Juara website.

NARS Summer 2014 Makeup

With temperatures beginning to rise (finally), NARS Cosmetics is thrilled to introduce its Summer 2014 ‘Adult Swim’ Color collection. Eyes pop with perfectly synchronized eyeshadows including neon lemon lime and icy lavender while smoky rose quartz and bronze add depth and definition. Feel the heat with a soft and sultry peach champagne for cheeks and a bold geranium for nails.

Also exciting, the NARS 413 BLKR collection has two new additions: a rosebud blush provides a rich, pop of pink while the shimmering champagne illuminator adds a soft pearlescent sheen to cheeks and face. Wear them layered to create a multi-dimensional cheek look or on their own for a softer, ethereal effect!

Both 413 BLKR shades will become available at NARS boutique and on narscosmetics.com beginning April 1. (via: NARS).
