Moroccan is simply rockin'

If you haven’t tried Moroccan Oil products by now, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

I love Moroccan oil. I love the way it makes my hair feel, I love the way it makes my hair shine, but most importantly, I love the way it makes my hair smell! The scent of the Moroccan Oil brand gets me every time. If they had a perfume, I’d wear it!

This post, however, isn’t about the allure of the Moroccan Oil scent, it’s about the quality of the brand and it’s product assortment. Most recently, I’ve tried the Moroccan Oil Restorative Hair Mask.

It was time for a change…

I bleach my hair. I’m not a true blonde. I admit to that. Having color treated my hair for well over 10 years now, I need to deep condition my hair on a regular basis. I’ve tried a variety of hair care products. Some were pricey, some were not. Some did the trick, others failed. I stuck with a brand to the point where my hair got too used to it, that I needed to switch things up. I looked to Moroccan Oil’s Restorative Hair Mask— and it worked wonders on my hair!

New routine…

After my standard rinse, lather, and repeat, I put a generous dollop of the Restorative Hair Mask into the palm of my hands and massage through my hair. I then leave the conditioner to sit in my hair for about 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

Make it last…

Sometimes, when I’m not pressed for time and really want to nourish my hair, I leave the Restorative Hair Mask in my hair for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Just hop out of the shower, tie your hair up, wrap it with a towel and let the mask do it’s magic! When you finally rinse your hair after about 30-60 mins, you’ll notice that your hair is super smooth and soft. Leaving the conditioner in your hair a little longer every now and then makes a world of a difference!

Moroccan is simply rockin’!

Beauty Tip of the Week + Passion Lip Treatment by Fresh

Someone once said that ‘A life without passion is no life at all…’ And I seriously think they were referring to Passion Lip Treatment by Fresh. Doing so much more than locking in moisture to your pout, Passion Lip Treatment is simply the best!

It’s got a hint of tint…

We love our lips to be colorful, vibrant, full and luscious and to pack quite a pout! This lip treatment does just that.

It’s got your covered…

Sure, you have to keep your lips moisturized and colorful, but you’ve also got to protect them against harmful UV rays. No girl should leave home without a moisturizer with SPF on her face, nor should she leave without wearing a lip treatment without a basic SPF 15 in it. Fresh has got you covered on this one!

Whomever’s kissing you is lucky…

The Sugar line by Fresh is made of, well, sugar! It’s sweet and tasty, and unlike other brands out there with SPF in them, it leaves a sweet taste on your lips and on whomever’s kissing them!

Beauty Tip of the Week: To get the best results out of Fresh’s Passion Lip Treatment, or any lip moisturizer (tint, gloss, lipstick–what have you), you’ll want to exfoliate those pretty lips prior to application. Exfoliating your lips does wonders! Not only does it remove roughness and dead skin cells, aside from the smoothness, it creates an invigorating, fresh, and alive feeling for your lips! The end result: your lips are primed for any moisturizing application, color applies smoothly and evenly, and your tint lasts longer too!

To exfoliate your lips…

Simply create a brown-sugar scrub by mixing a few drops of warm water with about a teaspoon of brown sugar until you’ve got a sweet and sticky paste. Apply a few dabs of this homemade scrub onto your lips, gently rub onto your lips to exfoliate, and then rinse away! Your lips will thank you— and you’ll have longer make out sessions!
