Blonde or Ronald Red? L'Oreal - Feria-#110 Starlet (Very Light Beige Blonde)

I have had hair disasters in my lifetime more times than I can count, and I knew that going from black into blonde would be a long and slow process. I was just a few steps away from achieving that perfect platinum, but ended up with Chucky and Ronald McDonald red instead. Bright, brassy, and horrendous.

I should have just used another kit of Frost and Glow to get the red out! I knew that, yet stupid me, I came across a box of dye that looked like it would get me that blonde color I was looking for even faster, and better. It promised to get those red lights out. I went ahead and $10.99 later and my hair is exactly the same red color only drier! Yay! Thank you L'Oreal - Feria-#110 Starlet (Very Light Beige Blonde)!!!!

Basically it did nothing but dry my hair out. I performed the strand test using some of the dye to see what would happen, because I worried about my red lights turning pink. I left it on one strand for 20 minutes and the shade did not change at all.

I figured maybe it was not working because I did not have enough solution in it, and that maybe it only would change with the hair piled on my head. Usually blonde bleaching dyes need to be piled on the top of the head, wrapped in a bag, and this heat process begins, once the heat is felt the color begins to quickly lighten.

So naturally, I added the rest of the dye, piled it up on my head, and placed a plastic bag over it. I felt some heat creation so I assumed it was working.

I let the dye sit for 20 minutes, and checked underneath the bag for color changes. I saw absolutely nothing, nothing but the same ugly red hair it had been since my last screw up.

I washed it out and used the included tube of conditioning cream hoping my hair would not dry out to Brillo.

Sadly that was what it did. It left my hair dry, brittle, and the color was absolutely unchanged. Nothing, money thrown down the drain, and more money to throw into products to attempt to bring my hair back to life. I have no idea why it did not take, nor lighten the hair even a few shades.

Overall:

For me L'Oreal - Feria-#110 Starlet (Very Light Beige Blonde) was a waste of money and a hair disaster. If you are looking to lighten your hair buy a box of frost and glow, and get the results you are actually looking for. All this one does is wreck the hair.

Review of New CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation in 330

I absolutely love being a member of BzzAgent, and love being able to try out products and then give my opinion to others based on my own experiences using the product. My most recent campaign was CoverGirl NatureLuxe, and up on the chopping block today is CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation in 330.

The Color 330 is Chamois, and through the squeeze tube the color looked way to light for my normally semi tan skin tone. I was disappointed at how off it looked, but once I opened the foundation tube up, and squeezed some of it out onto my finger, I saw that it was actually darker than what showed in the small window on the outside of the tube.

Although it had a slight tannish coloring to it, it was still 3 or 4 shades too light for my liking. However I went ahead and tried it anyway to see how well it would work at hiding imperfections such as red acne marks or discolorations. If it was able to hide my flaws, I would use it as a base. If not, I would go out and try another shade...that is, if I liked how this felt on my skin, and how well it lasted and held up.

Flaw Eraser?

I have to say, I was impressed with the foundation and how well it spread evenly on my skin. It did not feel as silky as Estee Lauder's foundations though, which really do feel like silk on the skin. However considering the price difference between this and Estee Lauder, CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation was holding up really well, and I liked how it felt. Light, weightless, and it did manage to hide redness and discolorations.
I use it as an under base now to my darker foundations, as CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation hides my flaws better than my high end brands.

If you have a red pimple, or skin discolorations normally, then this foundation will definitely hide it.

But, Does It Last?

When I find a foundation I like, I stick with it and I more than likely will always have a tube of NatureLuxe Foundation on me due to how well it hides problem areas on my skin. If this foundation held all day I would buy it regularly, if not...it'd land a spot in the makeup junk draw.

I have semi oily skin, and when you have oily skin foundation tends to smudge around or fade faster. CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation however stood put, and I did not have any foundation streaks or clumping, and it hid my problem areas all day long. Win!

I use it underneath my other darker shaded foundation, and it managed to stay put, all the while keeping imperfections hidden.

So yes, it does last, and it holds up just as well as a $30 high end brand of foundation. Win!

I have been using CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation for about a week now, and have yet to have any issues with it reacting poorly with my skin. Basically, no breakouts. Win!
Overall:

If you are looking for a low cost foundation that will last just as well as a high end cosmetic brand, then definitely go ahead with CoverGirl NatureLuxe Liquid Silk Foundation. It hides imperfections, leaving you with flawless near airbrushed looking skin, with a lightweight natural feel.

Fix Your Damaged Hair With DermOrganic Argan Oil Hair Masque

This past month I had some hair coloring mishaps. I was a glutton for punishment, and I ended up with ugly red hair, I had to fix it, dye it again, fix it again, and as a result, and too much stress on my hair, it finally began to take a toll. My hair become dull, extremely dry and very brittle. Spit ends galore. I am sure many of you out there have gone through the same embarrassing ordeal.

Stop crying about your dry ugly hair though, because DermOrganic Argan Oil Hair Masque can fix it, and bring it back to life rather quickly. No need to rush out and chop off our locks ladies!

I came across it while seeking out high end hair repair products, as some lower priced brands were just not helping me enough. The Masque was a bit pricey at $15.99 for a pump bottle featuring 8 ounces of formula.

It had a bunch of promises though, and for what it promised, $15.99 seemed like nothing. Heck, I spent more money on hair dyes that ruined my hair.

DermOrganic Argan Oil Hair Masque promised to repair damaged hair and restore it back into a smooth healthy strand. You can use it daily as a quick rinse conditioner, or you can use it twice a week on damp hair for an ultra deep conditioning treatment.

I have been using it for a week now, and I see results that simply astonished me. The formula not only helped restore my hair in a short amount of time, but it actually looks and feels better than before I managed to ruin my hair.
Fragrance:

The scent is also fantastic. It has such a luxurious clean and musk like scent that makes it feel like you are getting a full effect salon experience. This scent also lasts, especially after using it as a deep conditioning treatment.

Recommendation:

If you are looking for a quick and easy remedy to damaged hair, and I mean even severely damaged hair, then definitely get this one. You will not be disappointed.

I am glad I decided to give this one a try, without it I believe I would have experience a lot of breakage, and split ends had I not gotten right on it and began to use this stuff when my hair first began to show signs of severe damage and dryness.
