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.

Sometimes you just don't feel like wearing lipstick or lip gloss. I love the little lip butters in a jar from The Body Shop, but I was looking for something in between with a stronger hint of color. I picked up Revlon's New Lip Butter for $6 at my local Smith's. I color matched the lip butter to one of my favorite lipsticks I had in my purse and settled on "Sugar Frosting". I like that this lip butter is in a lipstick case. Most products like this are in a pot or tin, and you have to use your fingers. The color is sheer, but enough to give some color to your lips. It is more moisturizing than lipstick, but less than a traditional butter. At $6, this is a great find and I will probably go back for more.
