Aquage Fortifying Ultragel

Great for Fine Hair Once again I have to share another great Aquage product. If you have fine thin or limp hair this one is for you! Aquage Fortifying Ultragel . Just like all the other products in their line this ultra-conditioning gel have UVA/UVB protection. It has a natural hold and protects the hair from heat damage. This conditioning gel has a light pleasant scent too.   This conditioning styling gel is simply amazing for fine hair, fragile thin hair or damaged hair. Aquage Fortifying Ultragel has little conditioning beads inside made up of sea botanicals to keep the hair protected from the heat of the blow-dryer. How cool is that!   Aquage Fortifying Ultragel i s a must have for those clients who need the lift without the stickiness, like other products can leave. I also love that your client's hair can become better after each use. I highly recommend if you are in need of a product for smooth gorgeous blowouts on fine hair without the weight to keep the hair full. T

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum is great for blowing out hair. This product reduces drying time and eliminates frizz in the hair. This product is one of the original Paul Mitchell Products. It is silicone based so it coats the hairs cuticle which leaves hair silky and shiny for days. When you use this product a little goes a long way. Too much product will weigh your hair down so a pea-sized pump is best to start with and add more as needed.  Simply use a small amount in your hands and work into your hair and blow dry at the usual Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum smells amazing. It has a light green apple scent which basically sells itself to my clients. I like to use it in wet hair and really nothing else. It is my go-to for every client when I blowout hair. You can also use this serum on dry hair after the blowout to pat down any extra flyaways that may occur. But I find that the less you use the better. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny is best for curly hair and medium to

Biomega Moisture Conditioner Review

I think by now you guys can see I love love love anything by Aquage. I was introduced to this line ten years ago and I have never looked back. Biomega by Aquage has the best products in my opinion.

Aquage Beyond Shine Spray Review

This little bottle is the best-kept secret for stylists. Aquage Beyond Shine Spray does what it says beyond shine because it protects hair from heat, fights frizzies and adds shine protects the hair cuticle and keeps the humidity out. Wow, all that in one little bottle. Now you are going have to go get it! You want to use this product on clean dry hair. But I have used it on my 2-day old hair to keep it protected from the curling iron and it works just fine.   Aquage Beyond Shine Spray is a heat protectant for the hair if you are flat ironing or curling your hair.   It can be used for finishing to smooth and shine the hair. It works great by spraying a fine mist onto a small smoothing brush and just polish those little frizzies right out of the hair.  It can actually act as a curl eraser if you make a mistake when used with other Aquage products. The spray can break down regular hair spray and allow you start over if your client or bride or whoever does not like the loo

CND VINYLUX

CND VINYLUX WEEKLY POLISH  I know summer is officially over but I love blue nail polish. It is so beachy for me. I was so excited when I found this at Loxa Beauty because I needed another light blue nail polish since the one I had was officially finished. I had never used CND Vinylux polish before only their gel polish, but since I love that so much I figured I would give it a try. First, let me say it glides on creamy and smooth which is awesome for someone like me who is challenged in painting my nails. CND Vinylux is a weekly or seven day polish. Basically, it is like any other non-gel polish as far as applying goes.  Just make sure to use your top coat. Wait a minute in between coats and then apply a thin layer let dry and repeat. I like three coats of polish, especially with any lighter colors. Then I will use my glossy top coat. I liked that this polish was a little like their gel polish in the way it has a thicker coat when it dries. The polish seems to

What's not to Love About The Balm Cosmetics

What's not to love about these palettes from The Balm Cosmetics . I tried my first palette from The Balm Cosmetics on a whim because I was going out of town and wanted an easy makeup routine. Lucky for me, I found this cute little California palette which by the way I was traveling too so I had to have it. Can I just say it is amazing and I cannot wait to buy more. This particular color scheme gave me a light natural look. I am fine with that but if you want more intensity this may not be the one for you.  These mini on the go palettes are super whimsical named Autobalm because of the take on the driver's license. All of their cosmetics have the cutest names and a young fresh feel. This perfect palette has a blush, highlighter, and eyeshadow in a perfect little compact that you can take anywhere. It is so easy to use because you have everything right there. I also love that you can double the eyeshadows as eyeliner and the highlighter can be used all over. The palette is
