Matrix Hair Products
By Gary Ng
Matrix split into several categories when it comes to hair care and styling. Amplifying products include shampoos and conditioners that offer volume to your hair. There is also a gel designed to boost the thickness of the hair; it is to be applied after washing, when the hair is still damp from the root to the tips of the hair leaving it ready for blow drying with lots of volume and dynamic appearance. The root lifter represents another smart option from among Matrix hair products, as it offers a great volume formula. It is applied only in the areas where volume is mostly desired and massaged onto the root and the scalp. After application again hair is simply dried, either naturally or using a drier. The hair spray in this range of Matrix is also recommended as it renders a flexible hold and resists humidity tenaciously.
Biolage items within the range of Matrix are designed to provide hair care with a therapeutic effect. If chosen, these products promise to revive your senses and to make you feel completely revitalized. Products in this category aim at hydrating you hair, providing color care, volume and sun protection.
In case you have chosen to dye or highlight your hair, Matrix has come up with products meant to maintain the newly acquired color bright and appealing for the longest time possible. Color.Smart is the name of this new category of products and it consists of shampoos, conditioners, masques, shines, creams, glosses and hair sprays.
Some people might not be interested in any of the products mentioned so far as their hair type does not fit into any of the categories.
Olay's First Celebrity Beauty Ambassador: Carrie Underwood
<img alt="2.JPG" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/2.JPG" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt;" height="502" width="390" /><font style="font-size: 1em;">On Wednesday we had the pleasure of attending a press conference courtesy of Olay, revealing the first celebrity beauty ambassador for the brand. In the week leading up to the event, Olay gave clues on their facebook, prompting fans of the beauty giant to wager their guesses.<br /><br />After arriving at the rooftop observation deck and being treated to yummy goodies, we were ushered to our seats for the announcement. After two short video teasers and a quick speech from Procter & Gamble VP Joe Acuri, the ambassador was named and brought out to speak to us, and that face was... Carrie Underwood!<br /><br /></font><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

"Carrie epitomizes Olay's mission to challenge possibilities and encourage a new generation of women to learn about skin care and make a noticeable impact on their skin's appearance."<br /> <br />"With her genuine beauty and girl-next-door likeability, Carrie is a natural fit and wonderful addition to the Olay family," said Chris Heiert, Marketing Director, Olay. "Through all her success, Carrie remains grounded and connects with women everywhere using her powerful voice. She personifies the iconic image of the brand while representing the faces of the future."</font><br /><br />As the new ambassador for Olay, the 27-year-old, GRAMMY award-winning artist amplifies a positive message for a new generation of women to challenge their own skin's possibilities with the latest advances in skin care from Olay as part of the brand's "Challenge What's Possible" campaign. In her new role with Olay, Carrie will also represent a line of skin care products for the brand. <br /><br />"I am so excited to be associated with a beauty brand that has been trusted by women for more than 50 years," Carrie said. "As a little girl I remember my mom always using the original Olay Beauty Fluid and encouraging my sisters and I to take care of our skin. I love that Olay has managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages who want affordable skin care products that do what they promise. My music career has been a dream come true and proven to me that the seemingly impossible can be achieved. Olay's inspiring campaign echoes my beliefs." <br /><br />Olay products are available at <a href="http://www.stylebakery.com/shop/target.html">Target</a> or Olay.com. The campaign is scheduled to debut later this year. <br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

Fall 2010 makeup trend: minimalism
<img alt="Glee-3.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/Glee-3.jpg" width="400" height="600" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /><div><div style="text-align: left;">Over the past few weeks, we've been seeing simple, minimalist faces popping up all over fall/winter runways. Nude lips and light metallic eyes have been one of the biggest trends for fall 2010. Echoing the fashions of the coming season, a clean and effortless face is a refreshing change to the dark lip and eye shades we are used to seeing when the weather cools off and the sweaters and scarves come out. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Our favorite starlet look featuring simple, natural makeup is <b>Dianna Agron</b> (Quinn Fabray on <i>Glee</i>) at the <i>Glee</i> Season 2 premier earlier this week. Her simple, wavy pulled back hair, paired with her toned down makeup color palette really accentuated her natural beauty, which is what this no-frills trend is all about. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div><img alt="Glee 1.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/Glee%201.jpg" width="550" height="407" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></div><div><img alt="Glee 2.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/Glee%202.jpg" width="550" height="400" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left; ">Echoing Dianna's glowing fresh face were <i>Glee</i> Season 2 co-stars <b>Naya Rivera</b>, <b>Jenna Ushkowitz</b>, <b>Heather Morris</b> and <b>Charice Pempengco</b>. Their light, natural colored lips with slightly blushed-tone cheeks were the perfect companions to highlighted eyes and curled lashes with a few coats of mascara.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">If you are anything like us, taking a break from our jewel-toned eyeshadows and eyeliners and deep, rich lipsticks is very much welcomed. We can't wait to rock our clean slate this fall and winter, as is the case for this year, less is certainly going to be more!</div></div><div><br /></div></div>

Lash Control Mascara
<p class="main">Tired of clumpy lashes? Wasting tons of product on ill-designed packaging? Enter LashControl. <img alt="lashcon.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/lashcon.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="128" width="344" /></p><p class="main">Lash Control is an innovative squeezable mascara package which allows you to continuously regulate the desired amount of mascara product on the brush. Currently offered is Pink Sqeeze and Purple Squeeze, one mascara
gives length and the other gives volume, and both mascaras feature
botanical-enriched, beeswax-based formulas. The patented
delivery wiper sleeves let you decide how much formula comes out just by
squeezing as you remove the brush. You're in control, so brush on
longer-looking, sexy-yet-professional lashes or dial up the drama. No
more scraping or wiping off wasted mascara with a tissue.</p>

Our favorite is definitely the Marilyn look, which we find sleek and retro chic. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Regardless of which piece of the collection best suits your style, your brows will have never looked so good. $25, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1272780&type=2&subid=0">Sephora.com</a></div> <div><br /></div></div>

Best in beauty at the 2010 Emmy Awards
It's Friday and we STILL aren't over the gorgeous looks from Sunday's Emmys!<br /><br />Here are a few looks that we can't get out of our heads:<br /><br /><img alt="Keri Russell_hair.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/Keri%20Russell_hair.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="425" width="325" />Keri Russel kept it flirty with icy lavender eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and pinkish nude lips...complemented by her wavy side updo. Perfect for the warm weather on Emmy day...or a summer date night!<br /><br /><img alt="SofiaVergara_325.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/SofiaVergara_325.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="425" width="325" />Sofia Vergera, who is always sultry, did not disappoint with cascading waves, smoky eyes, and shades of peach to make her tan pop. Muy Caliente!<br /><br /><img alt="LeaMichele-325.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/LeaMichele-325.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="425" width="325" />Lea Michele intensified her 70's inspired flowing hair by adding winged liner and nude lips reminiscent of the time period, proving you can look natural and glam at the same time. (Is it just us or does she remind you of Jen Garner here?)<br /><br /><img alt="ClaireDanes_325.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/ClaireDanes_325.jpg" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="425" width="325" />Claire Danes made her blue eyes pop by rimming them with plum shadow and adding lots of lash. Rosy shades on cheeks and lips complimented her blonde hair and tawny skin.<br /><br /> <div><img alt="janjones.bmp" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/janjones.bmp" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0pt auto 20px;" height="457" width="321" /></div><div>January Jones kept her face fresh with just a hint of icy white on the eyes to make them pop, but added extensions to the front of her hair for a beachy, a-line bob.<br /></div><div><br /></div>

Celeb makeup trend: pretty in purple
<img alt="purple-haze-celeb.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/purple-haze-celeb.jpg" width="550" height="400" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /><div><div style="text-align: left;">If there is an eyeshadow shade that is universally pretty on every skin tone and with every hair color, it's purple. Any variety of it - lavender, plum, violet - is the perfect accent for a feminine dress or night look. Pop stars Demi Lovato and Katy Perry are just a small sampling of the starlets that rock purple hues. Whether you are barely daring enough to supplement a shadow for your eyeliner, or bold enough to don a full lid, you really can't go wrong with this violet pigment. Check out some of our favorites below.</div><div><br /></div><div><img alt="purple-haze-2.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/purple-haze-2.jpg" width="550" height="400" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></div><div><br /></div><div>The <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1203157&type=2&subid=0">Eurydice duo eyeshadow palette from NARS</a> is by far one of our favorite purple shadows. It has just the right amount of intensity, and goes on very evenly. It's also great when used wet as a liner, and seems more resistant to caking than lower-end shadows. $32, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1203157&type=2&subid=0">Sephora.com</a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>We loved the versatility of the <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1192566&type=2&subid=0">Kat Von D True Romance eye palette</a>, especially the range of plum to almost lavender hues that makes for the perfect purple smokey eye. But it's also good for everyday use with the earthy, neutral colors like the brown and gold. $24, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1192566&type=2&subid=0">Sephora.com</a></div><div><br /></div><div>If there is an eyeshadow that has the perfect amount of shimmer, iridescence and pigment, its <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1223270&type=2&subid=0">Dior's 5-colour in Extase Pinks</a>. With a range in color that can take any chic lady from day to night, the shadows are velvety soft. Though it's definitely on the pricier side, it lasts and lasts...and lasts (we've had a Dior palette for over 5 years now and it's still going strong.) $58, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1223270&type=2&subid=0">Sephora.com</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Since Illamasqua's release stateside a little over a year ago, we've been a smidge obsessed with their pure pigments and wide range of intense colors. Their <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1194869&type=2&subid=0">powder eye shadow in Fatal</a> is great when worn alone, as a shadow, or paired with shimmery whites and pinks for a dimensional eye. It starts pretty sheer, but can be quickly built up into a deep, vibrant purple. $20, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1194869&type=2&subid=0">Sephora.com</a></div><div><br /></div>

Tarte EmphasEYES? Aqua-Gel Eyeliner
<img alt="aqualin.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/aqualin.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt;" height="254" width="300" /><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1261007&type=2&subid=0">Tarte EmphasEYES? Aqua-Gel Eyeliner</a> captures the high-pigment concentration and staying power of a gel pot in an effortless pencil, without the need for a brush. The formula suspends rich mineral pigments in a 50% water concentration by a process of hydrous pigmentation, in which cooling and refreshing pure water absorbs into the skin to hydrate and replenish the delicate eye area, leaving behind an intense, long-wearing, and pigment-rich color. <br /><br /><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1261007&type=2&subid=0">EmphasEYES</a>? ingredients include:<br /><br />- Pure water that suspends mineral pigments while delivering and retaining moisture to replenish and hydrate skin,-<br />- Aloe leaf extract known for its soothing, healing, and antiseptic properties, which maintain moisture balance in the skin, <br />- Vitamin E, which acts as an anti-inflammatory emollient and fights free radical damage,<br />- Cucumber extract, which is rich in vitamins A &C and helps soothe skin, and <br />- Mineral pigments, which have been known to soothe and soften the skin.<br /><br />The best part is that due to the unique nature of this formula, you don't need to over advance the tip, so it lasts a while, so long as you remember to always securely replace the cap to prevent dry out. <br /><br />You only need a little for intense color payoff, and it seriously doesn't move. We even wore it to the gym to test, and while the rest of our face was dewy, the liner DID NOT BUDGE, even from the waterline.<br /><br />Available in 8 shades for $18, at <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=K0Po8GYMDXA&offerid=32532.1261007&type=2&subid=0">Sephora</a>.<br /> <div><br /></div>

Origins GinZing Refreshing eye cream
<img alt="GinZing.EyeCream.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/GinZing.EyeCream.jpg" width="300" height="452" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;" />Let's face it: the recommended eight hours of sleep we should all get every night is sometimes hard to come by. This lack of Zzzzs usually shows up all over our faces, particularly in puffy eyes with dark circles. <div><br /></div><div>That's where Origins steps in to provide relief with it's <a href="http://bit.ly/9Xe6XK">GinZing Refreshing eye cream</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Claims</b>: "GinZing? Refreshing eye</div><div>cream brightens and de-puffs with nature's clinically-proven morning-rescue eye cream that instantly reduces dark circles. Like a shot of espresso for tired eyes, this power-packed eye cream delivers both an instant impact and sustained benefits over time. <a href="http://bit.ly/9Xe6XK">GinZing? Refreshing eye cream</a> is formulated with</div><div>a cool, crème texture that invigorates and hydrates the eye area, helping unsightly bags and under-eye puffiness virtually disappear. Vibrancy is restored, leaving the delicate eye-area appear rested, even-toned and revitalized."</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Our take</b>: We loved the smooth, fast-absorbing texture of this <a href="http://bit.ly/9Xe6XK">eye cream</a>. It didn't sting or burn in the least (which is hard to find in an eye cream), and didn't leave any hint of greasy residue, making it great to wear under makeup. The skin around our eyes felt a light tingly sensation - the result of the caffeine - that helped a little with de-puffing (though we didn't see a significant difference). Also, we didn't notice much lightening of our dark circles, and resorted to our usual concealer. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Bottom line</b>: We loved how smooth and tingly this product made our eyes feel, but didn't experience a major visible difference in our eye puffiness or dark circles. Although it did brighten up our eye temporarily, perhaps more longterm use would produce better results. </div><div><br /></div><div>$29.50, <a href="http://bit.ly/9Xe6XK">Origins.com</a></div>

<img alt="leamichele.bmp" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/leamichele.bmp" class="mt-image-left" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt;" height="461" width="321" /><b>HOW TO GET LEA MICHELE'S LOOK:</b><br /><br />Celebrity editorial stylist Mark Townsend created a modern and fresh hair look for Lea Michele. "Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against her flawless gown," said Townsend.<br /><br />· Start with clean hair. Michele used <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner</a> to give softness and smoothness in the time it takes to use a conditioner.<br /><br />· "The end-of-Summer timing of the Emmys is a perfect opportunity to play with color. Lea is still shooting episodes of <i>Glee</i> and we couldn't do anything permanent, so I added in a few custom pieces of hair to add dimension and giver her removable highlights for the evening." The result was a golden/coppery effect throughout the ends of Michele's hair.<br /><br />· Use <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse</a> throughout damp hair and blow dry with a round brush to add lift.<br /><br />·Spray 3 inch sections of hair with <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist</a> to protect hair against heat styling damage before using an iron.<br /><br />· Next, use a 2 inch curling iron to give a subtle bend or 'S' curl, rather than a perfect curl. Curl from the ends all the way up, and set each section with a barrel clip for 5 to 7 minutes or until cool.<br /><br />· Scrunch hair with <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Daily Moisture Therapy Replenishing Mist</a> to add moisture, and blow dry briefly without a diffuser to look a bit undone.<br /><br />· Warm a pea-sized amount of <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream</a> between the palms of hands. Rake fingers through hair to distribute product evenly for shiny, modern texture.<br /><br />· Tease hair at the crown for extra volume and lift.<br /><br />· To finish, spray <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Unscented Extra Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement </a>liberally on a small, natural bristle eyebrow brush and run through bangs to hold a middle part. The parted bangs gave a modern update to the 60's vibe of Michelle's hair.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><img alt="janjones.bmp" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/janjones.bmp" class="mt-image-right" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px;" height="457" width="321" /><b>HOW TO GET JANUARY JONES'S LOOK</b>:<br /><br />For <i>Mad Men</i>'s January Jones, Townsend created an edgy, fashion-forward look. "A textured, asymmetrical bob was the perfect way to incorporate January's love of editorial fashion and runway style into a feminine, yet tough look," said Townsend.<br /><br />· The night before, use <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Intensive Repair Damage Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner</a> to strengthen hair and prevent damage.<br /><br />· "Second day texture was key to achieve this runway-meets-Hollywood look, so I pre-styled her hair the night before." Distribute <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse</a> throughout and blow dry hair with round brush to add lift<br /><br />· Set top sections of hair with large, 3 inch Velcro rollers for 15-20 minutes. While rollers set, add extensions in the front only to make hair longer in the front and shorter in the back.<br /><br />· Spritz throughout with <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist</a> to protect against styling damage.<br /><br />· Wrap 1 ½ to 2 inch sections of hair around a 1 inch curling iron to create a big, loose wave instead of a tight curl.<br /><br />· The next day, reapply mousse to add lift to hair, and blow dry gently with a round brush to freshen up ends but not set perfectly.<br /><br />· Rake a small amount of <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream</a> through hair to add smoothness.<br /><br />· Finish the look by spraying <a href="http://bit.ly/aIh43Y">Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement</a> to set the style but still allow movement.

Celeb hair trend: off center ponytails

Shampoo/Condition hair, towel blot to remove excess water.<br /><br />2. Apply desired straightening balm, styling products and/or heat protectant.<br /><br />3. Create an off-center part using a long tail comb. If you prefer a more natural look, pull hair back away from face in lieu of a part.<br /><br />4. Use a natural bristle brush round or flat brush and dry hair until 100% dry. Use brush to create in volume in the crown and the sides if desired. If you prefer to wear the side ponytail straight, use a paddle brush to straighten tresses as you dry.<br /><br />5. Using a brush or fingers, pull the side and crown hair back towards the nape of the neck. Smooth ponytail and then position the base so that it rests just slightly behind one ear.<br /><br />6. Spritz the entire head lightly with a setting or styling spray.

Isn't regular cleanser enough?" Well, we were wrong, evidently. Sometimes, even with a good cleanser, makeup, oil and environmental debris stay engrained in your pores, and an oil-based product like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MIKFGE?ie=UTF8&tag=stylebakeryco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000MIKFGE">PreCleanse</a> removes all the excess gunk and, believe it or not, oil. Oil removing oil? Yes, you read correctly. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>We squirted about a quarter size amount of the product on our hands and massaged it onto our dry, heavily made-up face, complete with waterproof mascara. We worked it in for about a minute, focusing on our eyes and cheeks, and than added a little warm water to the mix to create a milky consistency that washes right off - and takes all the bad stuff with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Following with our normal cleanser, even with our oily skin and caked-on makeup from a night out, our cotton round with toner came out clean, and our skin was soft, with no trace of excess oil. </div><div><br /></div><div>$34, <a href="http://buy.dermalogica.com/e2wItemMain.aspx?parentID=IT00002064&parentLink=2100000111:3100000406">dermalogica.com</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MIKFGE?ie=UTF8&tag=stylebakeryco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000MIKFGE">amazon.com</a></div><div><br /></div>

Yes To Carrots Shampoo and Conditioner
<img alt="Yes-to-Carrots.jpg" src="http://www.stylebakerybeauty.com/images/Yes-to-Carrots.jpg" width="550" height="468" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /><div><div style="text-align: left;">What do you get when you blend dead sea minerals with organic fruits and vegetables (like carrots) and leave out the parabens? Well, shampoo and conditioner, of course. Per usual, we were first drawn to this duo for its fresh orange color (and label.) Reading a book by its cover? You betcha. When we untwisted the top of <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2460079">Yes To Carrots Shampoo</a> and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2460077">Conditioner</a>, we were pleasantly surprised by the fruity scent (it's carrot shampoo after all). Though the ingredient list reads more like the recipe for a fall harvest soup than haircare - organic carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin - we gave it a try. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The directions mention to leave the shampoo on for two minutes (which was a little odd, but we followed instructions) before rinsing, and the same for the conditioner. We squeezed the traditional amount of product into our hands before lathering up, and found we needed some more <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2460079">shampoo</a> to get a rich froth. The <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2460077">conditioner</a> was ultra thick and rich, but appeared to absorb into our hair pretty quickly. Assuming it was a result of the unconventional formula, we left the shower with squeaky clean strands that smelled marvelous. Though our hair was soft when dried, it didn't feel quite as hydrated or glossy as we are used to. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Overall, we were pleased with the smell, lack of harmful chemicals and the presence of natural ingredients, but we felt this duo was a little drying for our normal/dry hair, and might be a better match for oily tresses. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div>$8.99 each, <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod2460079">Ulta.com</a></div></div>

The three color nail lacquer collection includes Khaki Rose, Khaki Brun and Khaki Vert, which can be worn alone, or combined for a camouflage effect. <br /><br />Chanel is always at the forefront of polish trends, and if the past success is any indication (do the names Jade, Vamp, or Nouvelle Vague ring a bell?), these will sell out before you can whip out your credit card. Get them while you can!<br /><br />The collection will be available on September 10th and will retail for $25.00.
