I had my hair colored last week, which obviously adds a little damage to my locks. Having spent four days afterward in the hot Mexican sun didn’t help much either. I felt that my hair (already on the dry side), needed some hair medicine, so I made a quick trip to Sephora to discover Phyto Phytokarite Ultra Nourishing Mask.
I was going in blindly, suppressing everything I know about hair products and letting the Sephora employee pick out a great hair mask for me. She narrowed it down to two (I was pretty certain Phyto was going to be a contender). While I was looking over the ingredients of both masks she selected, a customer who happened to be in the hair aisle told me that Phyto Ultra Nourishing Mask was the better choice. Two personalized recommendations… not a bad start, though it amplified my expectations. Read more...

Walk into any fancy hair salon or top beauty retailer and you’re bound to find Phyto, a high-end haircare brand based out of Paris. It’s come a long way since it launched almost 40 years ago. In the quest for perfect hair, Phyto answers with its extensive line and the Phtyo Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm is effortlessly a good find.
Phyto Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm is probably one of the best solutions for anti-frizz but I love it as it definitely tames the mane and makes my hair look incredibly healthy. It leaves a nice luster and gives a smoothness some hair creams can’t compete with (it’s also very light-weight and slick). Read more...

Aesop is a high-end Australian manufacturer in existence since 1987, committed to “the highest-quality plant-based ingredients” and making “judicious” use of non-botanical elements such as antioxidants.
Another renowned trait of Aesop’s product is their “exquisite scents” and the Sage Scalp Cleaning Shampoo is no exception; the powerful mix of rosemary and sage is softened by cedar and that is what attracted me to the product at the outset. It is, for someone like me who spent my childhood vacations in Provence, pure magic and a true delight. Buying 18oz of sophisticated and fabulous smelling shampoo for about $50 is not a bargain, but a worthwhile indulgence… Or so I thought! Read more...

Whereas my extremities tend to be ice-cold even on sweltering summer nights, my boyfriend David perpetually radiates heat. You might suspect that the anatomical divide between the sexes (and contradictory biological thermostats) is to blame, but the real secret to David’s warmth lies in the little hairs poking through his shirt collar. Concealed under that neckline is a woolly vest that he must wear year-round. A caveman might appreciate this built-in garment, but a professional lawyer finds it far less charming. So to spare David the sweat-inducing torment of donning a full undershirt beneath his suit every day, I got him a Moom for Men Hair Removal System and went to work on his upper chest. Read more...

I first discovered Rusk when I stayed at CuisinArt Resort in Anguilla (both brands are owned by Conair). The shampoo and conditioner were the amenities available in the rooms and suites, and I was impressed with the Rusk Sensories Shampoo calm Guarana and Nourishing Ginger. The two ingredients featured are meant to add a healthy, natural sheen and retain moisture. Fortunately, after trying it out, I was convinced.
The Rusk Sensories Shampoo’s M.O. is that it features CFT (compressed formula technology), which enhances and expands the users sensory experience. What this basically means is that when the shampoo is compressed, it expands with the addition of water and gentle manipulation, releasing unique botanical/ozonic aromas. Thus, you get bang for your buck as the performance uses 30 to 50% less product due to the compression. I don’t really buy the sensory experience enhancement (it reminds me of plenty of women in the shower in total ecstasy, which did not happen to me) but it definitely felt great on my head!
