Fresh SUGA(RED) Lip Treatment

Ready for lip balm? It's that time of year and I just got done taking stock of my stash this weekend.

Fresh's lip treatment is at the top of  the all time best lip balms list. It is deeply moisturizing , so smooth on lips and has SPF 15. There are many versions and new this Winter is Suga(RED).

The lip balm is the same as their non tinted one in the brown tube but this time comes in a  bright red tube for charity and for every one purchased 25 percent of the retail price will go to the US Fund for the Global Fund, which can provide more than two weeks of life-saving HIV medicine. 

Grab one at Sephora for $ 22. ( LE). 

Best Of Algenist Collection

With winter truly here in the Northeast and already going in many places it's time to get our skincare routing in gear for cold temps.  One easy way is with Algenist's Best of set, a one stop box for all your skin needs.

With this set you get large sizes of Gentle Rejuvenating Cleanser, Advanced Anti -Aging Repairing Oil and Firming and Lifting Cream along with a small jar of their Genius Anti Aging Eye Cream.

I've had good luck with Algenist products and Genius eye cream is one of my favorites. I like the cleanser here a lot as well ,  but haven't yet tried the other two products.

You get a lot in this set, I like that it's not all travel size, they should last well through Winter .

The Best Of Algenist Collection is $ 120 at Sephora

Guerlain Rose Aux Joues Smile Blush- Spring 2016

If you're looking to perk up a Winter pallor, or if you just want a burst of beautiful cheek color, look no further than Guerlain's new for Spring Rose Aux Joues blush duo.  It even says Smile on it and you can't help but do that when you see these sunny colors.

Guerlain has it's elegant , luxe packing on the outside in metallic red and then you get  a blush duo of  coral and light peachy pink.  It's basically an instant wake up.

These shades are beautiful and easy to wear for most I think. They can be blended together or used separately. Either way you'll have a glow. The pigment is medium, it  goes on pretty fully colored with one pass of the brush and blends easily.

Guerlain  Rose Aux Joues Smile Blush is $62 and LE.

BRÖÖ Craft Beer Shampoo & Conditioner

There's a new Brew in town,  but it's just for your hair.  Beer isn't a new thing for hair but I haven't seen it used for awhile. Anyone else remember the beer shampoo from the late '70s  Body On Tap ? Kim Basinger was the face of the ads.  I was quite little and thought the idea of being able to use "beer" on my hair the coolest thing.

BRÖÖ uses craft beer in their formulas along with , in the Moisturizing duo, shea butter , malted barley, hops and caffeine. The scent is not of beer per se, but it is very hoppy along with  herbs . It smells pretty good and works even better.

The Moisture duo got my hair very clean  while keeping it hydrated and very soft. It moisturized well but didn't overly weigh hair down .  I also noticed that my hair's natural color seemed brighter. There was a definite difference in the brightness and shine using this.

There is also a Thickening version. Thickening  has much the same ingredients as Moisturizing minus the shea butter and with Barely Protein for volume boosting. Same scent and it adds light body to hair.

Overall BRÖÖ performed as well as  many high end lines I have used. I'll toast to that.

All products are sulfate , paraben ,silicone, phthalates, dyes, propylene glycol and synthetic fragrance free. ( There is also an Invigorating version).

BRÖÖ is available at Target online and Wal Mart stores for $ 7.49 each.
