Roux Anti- Aging Hair Care

 

Do you know Roux? If you don't, your mom probably does , or did. Their Fanci Full Rinse was certainly a staple in my mom's arsenal for many a year . 

Now Roux is tackling hair care and doing it well. Their new anti -aging, sulfate free  line of shampoo, conditioners and treatment  help to build hair strength, reduce breakage , porosity and prevent more damage and if you have color treated hair, help it last longer.

I'm using the Keratin Repair shampoo and conditioner and Hair & Scalp Rehab Leave In.  My hair is healthy looking, soft but not weighed down, shiny and full with some extra volume .

The acid test ? The Mom. With her  thin, weak, double processed hair there's not much she really feels works. She has her staples but she's not averse to new either and was ready to test Roux. She emerged with hair that looked  a little fuller , something she struggles with, and it was well conditioned but not fly away. 

I like that Roux has created high end haircare at a good price. Shampoo and Conditioners are $ 10.49-$10.99 each ( about half some of my favorite brands ) and the Leave In Treatments are 9.29 for three , once weekly ampoules.

Roses de Chloé

Chloe's newest is all about the rose , one of my very favorite fragrance notes.

Roses de Chloé is a light rose,  fresh  and not powdery. There are touches of fruit but nothing overly  sweet. It's very floral with the dewy rose and magnolia in the forefront until we head to the drydown where the musk comes out.

This wears close to the skin and is a good scent for someone who likes their fragrance quiet and soft, but pretty.  It's a veil of scent that feels very Spring like.

Roses de Chloé  is $ 95 for 1.7 oz and $ 120 for 2.5 oz.

Dial Vitamin Boost Super C & Amazing B Body Wash

Juicy fruits  are the star of the new Vitamin Boost Body Washes from Dial . There are two new varieties, Super C and Amazing B and both are moisturizing for our winter dry skin.

Super C is my favorite, naturally , because it's citrus based. It has a zesty orange and grapefruit scent in a gel formula that uses grapefruit oil .  The gel isn't heavy or greasy but  just a nice lightly hydrating body wash with that great scent.

Amazing B has mango and kiwi juice and be warned the wash is as green as the bottle. I'll admit that was a little odd at first. This one has lotion in it for a creamy body wash that like Super C is lightly moisturizing.

I've liked many of the great scents Dial has come out with in the past few years and these fit right in. Vitamin Boost Body Washes are great for normal or drier skins and the fragrances will take you right into Spring and Summer.

Retail is $ 4.99

Smashbox Santigold Be Legendary Lipstick Ring

Smashbox announced a collab with music star Santigold . Called Santigolden Age  , the collection has eyeshadows, nail strips , lipglosses and this lipstick ring. 

Do you love lipstick rings ? I do. I still have an Anna Sui one from who knows when but more than 10  years ago. 

Santigold's ring is a golden textured pyramid with Swarovski crystals and is filled with an LE shade of Smashbox's very nice Be Legendary Lipstick called Still Kickin'.  

If you haven't tried Be Legendary you can read more about this richly pigmented formula at my older review here. 

The full Santigold line will be available on April 1st at Sephora and Ulta.

Be Legendary Lipstick Ring is $ 49. 

Venus Snap Razor

You know how you see something and think this is just so cute ? Well take a look at the new Snap Razor With Embrace from Venus.

This razor is a mini that snaps into it's own case for taking along wherever you need.

Traveling with a  full size razor  can be a pain, worrying that it might snag or cut something plus they take up space. Not Snap. If you're headed on a vacation or just want to keep a razor in the gym bag , this makes it so much easier. It would be great also for the dorm room.

Snap performs just like a full size razor, I got a very close shave and it worked fine without shave cream as it has the Embrace 5 blades with a ribbon of moisture. It is a little harder holding onto the smaller handle but it does have a textured grip that helps.

Like all Venus razors this one is also refillable with Embrace cartridges.

The Razor itself measures just under 3 inches and the case is about 3 1/2 inches long.

Venus Snap retail is $ 9.99 and available now.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick - Oscars Debut

A new lip from Dior went down the Red Carpet at the Oscars along with all the stars. 

Called Dior Addict Fluid Stick , it looks to be a  liquid lipstick . It has a sponge applicator .

For a peek at what it looks like on lips both Jennifer Lawrence and Ann Kendrick wore it along with their gowns at the Oscars.

Jennifer wore the shade called Mirage and Anna wore Open Me. 

 The new lippies will be available online at Dior.com on March 15th, in stores May 1.
