I rarely like to use a gel in my hair unless it’s a lightweight texture, and works wonders. Well, here is that gel: Alfaparf Cristalli Illuminating Shine Shaping Gel. It’s excellent for maximum shine and hold, but it doesn’t weigh my hair down or make it stiff. I was introduced to the Alfaparf brand a while ago, and love their conditioners, so I thought I’d give some of their other products a try. Let me say, I am glad I did. The Cristalli Illuminating Shine Shaping Gel is made with linseed extract and microcristillines that give a shiny, high gloss finish. Also containing silicones, this gel creates a subtle wet look that can be remoulded whenever you want, without looking overdone. Great on short hair.
Available in salons nationwide.

Right now I am loving this rosehip oil from Trilogy. Perfect for smoothing out dry skin, repairing sun damage and reducing the signs of premature ageing (not that any of us are worried about that), this 100% organic oil is super-fine and absorbs into your skin in an instant. It is also claims to assist your skin in repair and new growth as it provides essential nutrition and aides your natural moisture balance. Just the right consistency for a nighttime treat, this rosehip oil is gentle enough to use on your face, but effective enough to use on your body, providing the best botanical skin care while you sleep.

Do my lips get drier when the weather gets warmer? Or maybe that is just my excuse to get another lip balm. OK, maybe I already have a few (hundred) laying around, but I just can’t resist! My fave of the moment is Einstein Lip Therapy. It gives you intense moisture without that waxy, greasy feel. It’s jam packed with cocoa butter and vitamins A and E to heal those chaps and keep them away for good. No one wants to kiss you with dry lips. No one. This healthy balm is infused with vanilla and a hint of mint, sure to leave you kissable in no time, and the shine is delish!

Avon keeps getting better and better! I thought their partnership with Cynthia Rowley was absolutely divine (love her!) and here they go and one up it on the men’s side by partnering with Patrick Dempsey. Yep, McDreamy himself will be actively involved in creating a new signature men’s fragrance that will debut this November. Word on the street is that McWifey Jillian has been working at Avon since 2006. How nice!
I can’t wait to spray it on my own hubby…
