Keratin For Smoother, Healthier, Coated Hair Strands

The beauty of keratin is in its wonderful healing properties.

Keratin is found in your hair, skin, nails and teeth. Our hair strands are made of these protein fibers. And when your keratin composition is depleted or weakened, your hair, skin, nails and teeth, can show the difference.

That is why we have all heard about the importance of getting enough protein in our diets. Without it, there is dullness, split ends, hair breakage, hair loss and other ugly results.

Keratin in shampoos, conditioners + leave-in treatments all NOURISH hair with body-building ingredients that effectively repair damaged locks, protecting against further breakage and adding shine and elasticity to every strand.

Here is a CULT fave to try:
it's a 10 miracle leave-in plus keratin 4 oz. 

Okay, a bit pricey at $21, a bottle, found at Walgreens + $20 at ULTA, but we did some hunting and found the same ounce bottle for just 12.52 + FREE shipping at Amazon!

Yes...we just purchased a bottle there. We're going to try this.

We have been using a keratin-enriched shampoo--Keratin Smooth by TRESemme for the past 2 weeks and it has helped tremendously.

The ONLY downside to keratin products is the TOO flat appearance it can give. It does a SUPER job coating strands with healthy protein, but can make hair almost too sleek.

However, you can add other volumizers to boost height.

We would LOVE to try the GravityMud mask....but the price is keeping us in the pale, so to speak.

Alpha Hydrox's 14% Intensive Glycolic AHA Serum Less Than $20 And Works Great!

A super complexion is ALWAYS something to shoot for. It requires careful thought + proper products to achieve a smooth, clear texture and radiant glow with the diminishing of fine lines + wrinkles.

We work hard daily to improve our complexion, and we are still NOT satisfied.

No matter what cost + type of beauty products you use, results come S-L-O-W-L-Y.
You MUST be patient. And that is not easy for any of us.

We are a Retin-A user and like to switch it up between Vitamin C serum + Glycolic Acid treatments.

Today, we are suggesting this wonderful, cheap skin care product found in your local drugstore for LESS than $20.

Try $18.99, Walgreens.

The texture feels + looks like water, but don't let its consistency fool you. This alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic) is a solid 14% in potency.

Easy to use, too--- under make-up or at night with a moisturizer. It stings a bit when applied, but we know the glycolic acid is working.

The pH level is a 4, so it is not TOO strong or damaging to the complexion.

This AHA serum keeps you acne-free, allows skin to glow and exfoliates nicely. Plus, it feels GREAT on your face + neck.

We are using it right now about 3 times per week.

We give Alpha Hydrox' 14% Intensive Glycolic AHA Serum the beauty thumbs up!

Lip Liner Necessary? Some Makeup Experts Say, Yes!

Lip liner.

We NEVER wear it, but we will buy a couple of these soon to try them out to fill in our entire lips.

We are sure that a good number of you reading this beauty post DO enjoy applying lip liner BEFORE putting on gloss or lipstick.

Many professional makeup artists believe that lip liner defines your mouth flawlessly, helps you fill in lip irregularities, and allows you to look even more amazing in photos or on video.

Here are 3 basic lip liner tips:

• Do NOT over-line
• Match the liner to the lipstick shade
• Do NOT forget to connect the corners

An inexpensive brand to try is Rimmel. The makeup company sells a great lip liner:

Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Liner Pencil ($3.99)

We found it at ULTA.

Plus, this lip liner comes in 12 pretty shades, like Indian Pink + Tiramisu.

Plus, you can watch this YouTube demo by Huda Beauty for some sensible lip lining advice.

Best Celeb Hair Of The Moment Goes To Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is killin' it with her sassy, curve-hugging style and her gorgeous, curly, voluminous do!

The youngest K sister is in New York City to promote the start of her new television show, "Kocktails with Khloe."

She's painting the town RED in that HOT cherry-colored dress. She wore that look at an appearance this morning  on "Live! with Kelly and Michael."

And the BUZZ is on Khloe's super curly, big hair. She looks fab!

To COPY Khloe's glam hairstyle, you need  2 things---- a curling iron + Mizani styling product.

Her stylist Cesar Ramirez used both to achieve her high glam look.

We suggest Mizani Iron Curl Heat Styling and Curling Cream ($10.48, at Amazon.com).

Now, curl away, ladies!

We give Khloe's  big hair a big thumbs up!

Kim Kardashian's Signature is the Duster Coat.....Best Cover-Up

Maximum coverage and a loose comfy style. That's what the duster coat delivers to every woman's silhouette.

And maybe that is why fashion's most stylish reality TV star has worn the duster coat out + about through both pregnancies.

Kim Kardashian has made the duster coat one of her signature style pieces. She has worn them in just about EVERY color, fabric + length.

You don't have to be a super tall, super skinny model to look fab in a duster coat. It works for ALL figure types.

Kim K is short + curvy at 5'3", and she looks AMAZING in the duster coat.

Want to COPY Kim's look?

It's great for the winter months, depending on the fabric weight, but the duster coat doesn't have to be ONLY outerwear. It looks lovely as a long blazer.

We found a bunch of duster coats here for CHEAP at BooHoo.com.
