Never Buy Purple Shampoo Again!

No purple shampoo? No problem. Keeping blonde hair brass and yellow-free is a tireless effort. The easiest way to keep it in shape is by using a toning shampoo or conditioner. There are tons of products on the market these days, but a lot of people complain that toning shampoos can dry out hair and are expensive to boot. A new product from OGX allows you to tone your hair using your own shampoo and conditioner! OGX Blonde Enhance + Purple Toning Drops (I may get a commission from this link) are concentrated purple drops that you mix into the product to create a custom toning product for hair. Just dispense your shampoo or conditioner into your hand, add 3 to 5 drops and mix! Use it just with shampoo, just conditioner or both! You can easily customize the level of toning. I found the less of drops you use, the more “blue” your mix will be. That works great for me because I prefer a blue shampoo to purple. If you don’t know what your color is, read my article on finding your undertones. ...

Valentine's beauty finds

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. If you are like me, you'll skip the flowers and candy for something that lasts. Treat your mother, sister, daughter or best friend to one of my cute Valentine finds!

Just in time for Valentine's Day The Body Shop introduces Chocomania, a line of chocolate bath and body products made with twelve community fair trade ingredients like brazil nut oil, cocoa butter and organic sugar cane. Start with a body scrub, shower cream or mini soap, moisturize with body lotion or body butter and top it off with lip butter. Pick up the Chocomania Shower, Moisture and Scrub Collection Gift Set for $25.

Everyone loves a rich nail polish and Deborah Lippmann polishes are a goldmine. Her glitter nail polishes are pricey, but the best you will find. Candy Shop (right) is a pastel pink with multi-confetti and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? is  the perfect Valentine's Day red glitter, $18 each at Nordstrom and DeborahLippmann.com.

Many have been raving about these new stretch satin hair ties. You can sleep with them in and they  double as a bracelet. I found this cute pink tie with a rhinestone ornament on Etsy, $5 from NoTugHairTies.

This Katy Perry "Purr" Fragrance bottle reminds me of the Siamese cats from Disney's Lady and the Tramp. If you like Aquolina's Pink Sugar,  you'll appreciate the softer, less musky essence of Purr. Exclusively at Nordstrom, $45-$65.

Love at First Blush combines Stila's popular lip glazes in bubblegum and Pinkle Twinkle with a festive, limited edition blush palette, $20. Available online only at Sephora.com, or buy the palette separately for $14.

The most expensive nail polish you won't regret buying

 For those of us who don't get regular manicures, great nail polish is a must. I wandered upon my new favorite in Nordstrom while browsing Deborah Lippmann's products. "Happy Birthday" is the coolest polish I have ever seen. It is made up of red, yellow, blue, orange, green purple, silver and gold mini confetti in a clear base. It almost looks like someone threw a bunch of confetti and it landed on your nails, hence the name "Happy Birthday" .     I just had to have it. Even at $18. Now, you have to consider that this is a premium brand that contains no toluene, formaldehyde or DBP. It is sold out   online and Nordstrom says they can barely keep it in stock. The one negative - the sales lady told me it takes a while to get it off.  Deborah Lippmann is a manicurist that started mixing up polishes for her celebrity clients like Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cher.  She also has a line of hand and foot treatments, her "Rich Girl" hand and ...
