It will protect hair structure from free radicals and fulfill the needs of malnourished, depleted hair and unbalanced scalps.

My thoughts:

I think the Obliphica Treatment Shampoo and Hair Mask may be the best shampoo/conditioner I’ve used to date.

The shampoo cleans my hair without drying it out or leaving a yucky buildup and the hair mask is AMAZING!

My hair has never felt so soft and the serum is a nice addition to the other two products.

I put it on my hair after I get out of the shower and wow my hair has such a brilliant shine to it.

I feel like I should be in a haircare commercial after using these products.

Maybe she’s born with it….Maybe it’s Obliphica, lol.

There’s a reason the creator of these products John Blaine, has a celebrity clientele that includes the likes of Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese, Kendra Wilkinson and Mariah Carey just to name a few.

Have you tried these products before?

Obliphica products are not tested on animals which I love and can be purchased online at Obliphica.com.

Best,

I’m so excited to see that Nicki Minaj is doing a line of polishes with OPI.

They’re fun and unique just like Miss. Minaj herself.

There are six limited-edition colors in total all of which are inspired by Minaj’s own personal sense of style.

Shown in the above photo are: Save Me (glittery one), Did it on ‘Em (neon green) and Pink Friday (bubblegum pink).

The collection will be available in January and will retail for $8.50 a bottle.

I can’t wait….I love Pink Friday and Save Me.

What do you think of the collaboration between Nicki and OPI?

Will you be picking up any of the polishes?

Please share!

Are you someone who has a million beauty products, but always uses the same few over and over and over?

If so you’re just like me.

It seems like I’ve used nothing, but these few products over and over again lately.

1. Prtty Peaushun Body Lotion. This stuff is amazing!
2. Xen Tan Daily Self Tan. Best self tanner I’ve ever used!
3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. Use this and your makeup won’t budge all day!
4. Origins Vitazing Moisturizer. The only “foundation” I’ve been wearing lately.
5. Pro Face No Sweat Perspiration Retardant. Use this under your foundation for those days you’ll be in the sun a lot, but still want to look fresh.
6. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil. This product prevents UV damage to your hair and leaves it soft and smooth.
7. Lorac Double Feature Concealer and Highlighter. Decent product, not sure if I’d repurchase yet though.
8. Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Frenzy. I normally don’t like lipstains, but this is great for a day at the beach or at the pool because it stays put.
9. Urban Decay Naked Palette. Love this palette!
10. Mehron Setting Powder. This antiperspirant product is great for keeping the summer greasy look away.
11. Victoria’s Secret Radiant Face Trio in White Hot. Love this highligher. It’s just gorgeous.
12. Not pictured, but a favorite none the less is Benefits Creaseless Shadow in RSVP. Wear this under Urban Decays Sin as a primer and my shadow lasts all day.

Let me know if you get it.

You’ve already seen the haul. Now here’s the review on

VitaZing SPF 15 Energy-boosting moisturizer

What they say:

This multi-tasking moisturizer handles the vital jobs of hydrating, energizing and protecting to maintain skin’s momentum all day. Gives skin the refreshing zing of antioxidant-rich Mangosteen. And adds a healthy hit of radiance that mimics the glow you get from a week’s vacation. All in 10 seconds max. Slip it on first thing tomorrow – you’ll look like you eat right, sleep tight & don’t have a worry in sight.

My thoughts:

As someone who’s been dealing with problem skin for the last 5-10 years I was skeptical about this product. So going into it I bought it expecting to mix it with my foundation. But after putting it on by itself I thought WOW my skin looks amazing maybe I should wear it by itself. So I did….and people everywhere kept saying things like….

What have you done to your skin?

You look so healthy. Have you been in the sun?

Your skin looks amazing!

Now tell me how can I not love a product that makes people say things like that?

This product has changed my life. My skin has never looked or felt better. It’s a miracle product and one I will never be able to live without! Yes, it’s that good.

One final note:

This is a light tinted moisturizer so I still have to conceal spots, dark circles, etc. Just wanted to let you know so you don’t think it can cover everything on it’s own.

Have you tried Origins VitaZing Moisturizer?

Please share your thoughts.

Retails for :$35.00 at Origins.

I went into Origins recently just to check things out and left with all of this, lol.

Please tell me you’ve done the same?

I picked up the Origins Vitazing (which I LOVE) because I’d been hearing such great things about it and I’m so glad I did. Since purchasing it I haven’t worn anything else. Look for a review shortly.

As I was paying I was told if I bought one other item I would get a free goodie bag so I picked up some mints(not shown).

The goodie bag contained Origins Starting Over and Perfect World moisturizers as well as a sample of Plantscription.

I also left with some samples of Dr.Weil eye cream, lotion and serum.

I have to say I am loving everything I’ve tried so far and have a feeling I’ll be visiting Origins again very soon.

Look for reviews of most of these products soon.

Have you tried Origins products before?

What were your thoughts?

As you probably remember last month I mentioned picking up the OLAY Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System. If not you can check that review out here.

So now that I’ve been using it for over a month I thought I’d give you an update on it.

All I can say is buy this product!! It will change your life….well ok maybe not, but it will change your skin!!

Seriously, My skin looks and feels so much better and I’m also noticing less breakouts.

Awesome no?

And today while watching The Doctors Dr. Ordon talked about the importance of exfoliating. His money saving exfoliating recommendation? Buy the OLAY Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System.

How cool is that?

So if you won’t take my word for it listen to Dr. Ordon and check out this product you won’t be disappointed.

After hearing about the new Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System recently I knew I had to try it.

So off I ran to Target #1 they were sold out.

Second Stop WalMart nothing.

Onto CVS #1 they hadn’t heard of it even though they had a huge sign up for it.

Next CVS #2 hadn’t gotten them in yet.

Starting to feel defeated I almost passed by Target #2 without going in. Good thing I didn’t because to my surprise they had one! ONE! And it was hidden on an end cap. Sorry, to whomever hid it, but I grabbed it and ran.

So was all that hunting worth it?

Keep reading to find out.

First here’s more about the product….

Product Features

* Cleanses skin 6x better vs. basic cleansing
* Helps maximize the immediate hydrating effectiveness of your anti-aging moisturizer
* Professionally Designed with 2-speed, rotating system delivers daily deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation, Water resistant for use in the shower & Replaceable soft bristle brush head (included). Refills available.
* It also includes the Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser (sample included) recommended for daily exfoliation, Cleansing brush can also be used with a broad range of Olay cleansers for daily deep cleansing.
* 2 AA batteries also included
* As effective as the system sold by skin professionals for nearly $200.00.

So does it live up to the hype?

In a word YES!

I’ve been using the Pro-X Brush for a little over a week now and it’s amazing. I can already tell such a huge difference in my skin. I’m noticing fewer breakouts, less dryness around my nose, and just an overall healthy glow to my skin.

Yesterday a stranger complimented me on my skin, which never happens, so that means something.

I don’t know how it compares to the Clarisonic and other $200.00 products because I don’t own them, but for $29.00 I’m loving the Pro-X brush and have no desire to purchase anything more expensive.

Have you tried this product yet?

Olay has signed its first celebrity brand ambassador for North America: Carrie Underwood.

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Carrie Underwood is the new ambassador for Olay. The 27-year-old, GRAMMY award-winning artist amplifies a positive message for a new generation of women to challenge their own skin’s possibilities with the latest advances in skin care from Olay as part of the brand’s “Challenge What’s Possible” campaign. In her new role with Olay, Carrie will also represent a line of skin care products for the brand. The campaign is scheduled to debut later this year.

“We are thrilled that someone as inspirational as Carrie has joined Olay,” said Joe Arcuri, Vice President for North America, Procter & Gamble Beauty. “Carrie epitomizes Olay’s mission to challenge possibilities and encourage a new generation of women to learn about skin care and make a noticeable impact on their skin’s appearance.”

She personifies the iconic image of the brand while representing the faces of the future.”

“I am so excited to be associated with a beauty brand that has been trusted by women for more than 50 years,” Carrie said. “As a little girl I remember my mom always using the original Olay Beauty Fluid and encouraging my sisters and I to take care of our skin. I love that Olay has managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages who want affordable skin care products that do what they promise. My music career has been a dream come true and proven to me that the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Olay’s inspiring campaign echoes my beliefs.”

With millions of fans worldwide, Carrie has achieved remarkable success since winning the fourth season of American Idol and releasing three critically-acclaimed albums since 2005. To date, she has sold more than 12 million albums and recently placed her 13th song at #1 on the charts. She is a five-time GRAMMY award winner, three-time Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist winner, and the reigning two-time AMC Entertainer of the Year where she became the first female artist to win the prestigious award two years in a row. In 2008, she also became a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
