My, My, My! MyChelle Dermaceuticals For Gorgeous Skin

When we hear about a "natural" beauty company, we often assume that the products don't have a decent shelf life or aren't as effective as prescription-grade skin care items.

But MyChelle Dermaceuticals has seduced us with all honesty, and now we have fallen in LOVE.

The Colorado-based beauty company is hitting all the right notes:

1. Scientifically-advanced formulas
2. Using only clean, natural bio-actives--anti-aging peptides + plant stem cells
3. Eco-Friendly company using: wind-powered energy, 100% PCW paperboard boxes + more
4. MyChelle products also: Vegan, Cruelty-free, and Free of Phthalates, Parabens, Sulfates, Ureas, Artificial Fragrances and Colors, Petroleum, GMOs, and Gluten

Amen to all of that.

MyChelle Dermaceuticals were generous to send us along their sunscreen and facial cleanser.

Two exceptional products. Seriously.

Sunshield-Coconut SPF 28
($17, on sale).

LOVE this sunscreen. Great SPF of 28. Smells YUMMY and feels luxurious on the skin. Plus....it's POWERFUL yet GENTLE....NO sensitivity problems for us. We even applied it to our eyelid area + under eye area, and it felt wonderful in a light, creamy base.

MyChelle's Sun Shield is perfect for ALL skin types, offering chemical-free protection with Titanium Dioxide + Zinc Oxide. The EWG (Environmental Working Group) rates MyChelle sunscreens among the BEST out of some 700 sunscreens with SPF values!

Let's face it....You NEED sunscreen. Don't be fooled. This one is full of healthy protective properties.

Refining Sugar Cleanser ($25).

Head-over-heels for this superb facial cleanser. In fact, it nicely tightens, smooths + reduces pore size. And it smells so heavenly, we wish we could drink it.

MyChelle's Refining Sugar Cleanser is effective for removing dirt, oil + makeup. The granular, sugary base exfoliates beautifully into a milky lather.

Hands down---one of the BEST cleansers in our book. We don't want the big tube to run out.

It's chock-full of anti-aging benefits from:

Peptide Matrixyl synthe'6 and
Crocus Chyrsanthus Bulb Plant Stem Cell for fine lines + wrinkles.

Really helps FIRM up the skin, keep it clear + bring radiance to the complexion.

Desire Healthier Skin + Hair? Then Try Rose Water Mist

We've all heard about the healthy benefits of rosewater, but some might not believe this super fine mist really does anything good.

This highly fragrant water flower DOES offer hydration to skin and damaged hair, according to the experts.

Rose water is a by-product from rose oil which is made by steam-distilling the crushed petals of roses, a process first developed in Persia.

Rosewater allows the complexion to feel clean +  balanced and shrinks your pores when you put it on.

For the hair, rose water offers the same, hydrating benefits with a boost in volume, and with supposedly, hair-coloring preservation.
.
We found an excellent rose water mist by Jurlique ($35, at Sephora).

Okay....NOT the cheapest rose water around, but this one is of wonderful, healthy properties:

-Rose Oil: Softens balances and restores skin.
-Marshmallow Extract: Offers intensive hydrating and softening properties that rebalance dryness on the skin.
-Aloe: A succulent perennial of the lily family with skin enhancing value in the juice of its leaves. The leaf gel is rich in beneficial polysaccharides and amino acids and has been used to soothe and calm the skin for more than 2500 years.

Copy Karlie Kloss' Cannes Cat Eye With Liquid Black Liner: Meow!!

Gotta LOVE model Karlie Kloss.... all  6 foot, one inch of her!

The leggy, former VS star has been wowing crowds at the famous, annual Cannes Film Festival with fellow models like VS's Doutzen Kroes.

Check out their glam selfie, taken from the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez (from Karlie's Instagram page).

We ADORE, or  j'adore the SEXY cat eye makeup in liquid black liner.....MEOW!!

Here's another angle of the swept-up winged liner on Karlie:

Now to COPY this classic, lined eye, you NEED to use liquid black liner. We use a creamy black pencil for our daily cat eye makeup routine, but even we agree with the pros that liquid liner is more precise and achieves a BETTER cat eye.

Some models + actresses prefer this CHEAP drugstore find----

Wet 'n Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner in Ultra Black 881 . Just $2.99 a bottle at Walgreens!

It's AWESOME stuff! We need to buy more + try this liquid liner, again.

Copy Iggy's 2015 Billboards Pink-Dip-Dyed Hair: So Fancy!

"I'm so fancy....You already know...."

Look at Iggy Azalea at last night's 2015 Billboard Music Awards. She's workin' the pink, dip-dyed ends.

We kind of dig it on Iggy. Big star Gwen Stefani has done this cool hair look before. Check her out with black, dip-dyed ends:

Why did Iggy go for the pretty in pink adornment?

She spoke to E!'s Giuliana Rancic about her new colorful hair:

"I'm having an image overhaul," Iggy" remarked. "I'm recording my second album and I just felt that I needed a change of hair and change of style, so I'm feeling very revamped."

If you're dye-ing to try this FUN pink, dip-dyed ends look, you can without the permanent results.

 
Kevin MurphyColor.Bug.

It's $20.78 for a pink pot, and this is what the description says:

"Kevin.Murphy Color.Bug, created for those that want to try the full trend but dont want to be stuck with the color for days. The powder gives you anything from a light wash of color to a bright dose depending on the look you are going for. It works by applying a hair product first, for example a light product like hairspray or a thicker product like a texturizer if you want the color to be brighter and have more of a hold."

We found a YouTube How-To on applying this pink color.bug dye. Check it out here by iclelivzi.

It's called the crown braid. And it's a goddess look---both elegant + pretty. Plus, it's a HOT hair trend for Spring/Summer 2015.

For 5 Bucks, Tresemme Shampoo For Color Treated Hair Turns Up The Shine

When you color or highlight your hair, the results are great, but inside each strand, there is damage going on because of the chemical alterations.

Coloring hair can be harsh and shine can disappear, strands become dry + brittle and so forth.

Shampoos for color-treated hair are designed to keep color alive and STAY that way.

But do these special shampoos really work?

We tried TRESemme Color Revitalize Protection Shampoo ($4.99 at Walgreens).

And we actually liked it. We were a bit taken aback when we poured out some shampoo into our hand. It was milky white like conditioner. We thought we had bought conditioner, but NO....this was the shampoo with advanced color vibrancy technology.

We LOVE the price----$5 for 28 fl. oz..

And we like the SHINE this product leaves behind. Plus, we retained our color for now. We will keep using this shampoo to see if it LOCKS in color longer than regular shampoos.

By the way, Tresemme is promising  pretty major results using this shampoo:
The Advanced Color Lock Technology in the TRESemme Color Revitalize system of shampoo and conditioner can protect your hair color for up to 40 washes vs. non-conditioning shampoo.

40 washes?

If that's true, we're impressed!
