04.22.10Living Proof Hold Hairspray, Shampoo & ConditionerI have tested out a number of Living Proof products, and I recently tried out samples of the new Living Proof Hold Hairspray and No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner. Living Proof Hold Hairspray is a reinvention of your traditional hairspray. When hairspray was first created, women were looking for a product to keep their elaborate hairstyles firmly shellacked into place. But today we have looser, freer styles and want hold that's soft and shiny.

03.12.10Clarisonic MiaIt's Friday night... Ah, the exciting life of a beauty blogger! Siting home testing some lip gloss, and I'm about to test something I'm pretty excited about--something I spent a big chunk of change on! Well, kind of. Half of it was purchased with a Sephora gift certificate, which has been burning a hole in my pocket since my birthday waaay back in December. (Thanks, mom!) I finally bought the Clarisonic Mia. I'm trying to remember how my obsession with the Clarisonic started. I think it was when I read this bomb-ass post from This That Beauty about her skincare regimen. ...
