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.

I got a little New Year's gift in my Mailbox! The new Blood, Sweat and Tears lip stain and gloss collection from Rain Cosmetics! This collections includes a red lip stain (Blood), a sparkly lip gloss (sweat) and a high shine lip gloss (tears). You can wear them all together, separately or pick and choose. I love lip stains, they make it much easier to layer color. To use, apply Blood lip stain first, allowing it to dry between coats. This lip stain seems to have some moisture in it, but you could use the Rain Lip Therapy first. After the lip stain is dry, use fingers or a brush to apply Sweat sparkly lip gloss or Tears, high shine lip gloss - or both. I always use fingers or a brush to apply lip glosses over color so you don't pollute the container. Blood is a very complimentary red shade that would look good on everyone. It doesn't dry your lips and (as with all Rain lip glosses) the glosses are not sticky. I hope to see other lip stain colors in the future! I love...
