John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss & Luminous Glaze Clear Shine

#BeautyBagDolls I am so happy to talk hair with you today and for me its all about maintaining my current hair color which is brunette. I don't know how long I will stay this color it may be another month or three more months before I want to change things up again and go back to blonde but right now I am loving the John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss for Warm Brunettes (not to worry it comes in all different shades John Frieda has every hair color covered) and the Luminous Glaze Clear Shine for all hair shades. These two products are my must haves and the Luminous Glaze is great no matter what your hair color is and for an in depth review of both keep on reading! Shop John Frieda.
The John Frieda Glaze and Gloss are an absolute must have to maintain your salon hair color and shine combine it with the shampoo and conditioner pictured on left and reviewed here and you will a great hair color day.

Since using the John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss & Luminous Glaze Clear Shine I have not had a bad hair color day. I use the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner previously reviewed and I follow up with the John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss 1 time a week. I squeeze out excess water from my hair, dispense a quarter-sized amount of product into hand and spread from root through entire length of hair. Repeat process 3-5 times to ensure middle to ends of hair are evenly saturated with gloss. Wash hands with soap. Leave gloss on for at least 3 minutes, then rinse. I also want to note here that there is a scent to this that I just love. This is a 5 $$$$$ and a beauty bag must have that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Next is the John Frieda Luminous Glaze this is another must have that you can use a minimum of 3 times a week to ad intense glossy shine to any hair color. To use squeeze excess water out of hair. While still in the shower, smooth Clear Shine Luminous Glaze through wet hair, distributing evenly from root to tip. Leave on for at least three minutes and rinse. Style as usual. Use each time you wash your hair. I use this 3 times a week and I love it. It too smells amazing! My hair looks and feels amazing when using the John Frieda  Luminous Glaze Clear Shine and I combine this with the amazing John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner full review here. The  John Frieda  Luminous Glaze Clear Shine is a 5 $$$$$ and gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream

#BeautyBagDolls I have a little beauty secret to share with all of you as the cold weather begins to set in. As the days become shorter and the temperature drops (and it has dropped for me in the Northeast) my skin get so dry and I read for the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream. This tube of cream is a life/skin savor. It works on your entire body from head to toe including hands, feet, cuticles, face and even your lips. Read on to learn more about Yu-Be.
Yu-Be is a skincare nonnegotiable you MUST have it in your beauty bag, coffee table, side end table and desk at work its so good for your skin!  

Before I get into all the ways I use the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream I want to give you a little background information about Yu-Be and the Moisturizing Skin Cream according to their website is "Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is a fast-absorbing cream that hydrates all types of seriously dry skin anywhere on the body, including your face and lips. Its formula was invented by a Japanese pharmacist in 1957 and has been a best-seller in Japan for over 50 years. The cream’s mix of concentrated plant-based glycerin and vitamins prove highly effective in replenishing lost moisture on even the driest faces, hands, feet, elbows and knees."  For me this is a skin savor year round but right now my love for it runs deep. I have the driest hands throughout the day but by the end of the night they are so rough it is as if I never applied lotions, hand creams and body butters on it throughout the day and I piled it on. However a small squeeze of Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream and it hydrates my hands and cuticles to perfection! Now the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is something I use on my hands year round since I garden and my hands get dry but in the fall and winter I have the large tube and the smaller tube with me at all times for instant relief. If you suffer from chapped lips I suggest you apply this twice daily and your lips will feel amazing. I have an issue with dry feet and this has really made the difference in the fall and winter so much so that I apply it just as maintaining them now and I don't have dry feet anymore. I want to let you know that this is not greasy by any means and after applying it to my hands I can immediately snap my fingers. Again Yu-Be says that this is a "high concentration of glycerin and camphor helps to relieve eczema related symptoms. Non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and stays locked to retain moisture. “A little dab goes a long way.” Yu-Be contains no artificial colors or fragrances and is non-comedogenic. Yu-Be is 100% cruelty free." I want to note that Yu-Be also makes a brand new formula called the Yu-Be Advanced Formula Pure Hydration Cream that I love as well. I use that on my face for when it is super dry as well as my elbows and knees. These are both a Beauty Bag must have that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop Yu-Be to purchase.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Shampoo & Conditioner

 I am excited #BeautyBagDolls to be bringing you a  review from my favorite brand in hair care. The John Frieda line is amazing and it caters to so many of use with different shades of hair including my newest shade which come from the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner line. I am thrilled with the results from the Brilliant Brunette line just as I am from their other products. The Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner has my hair looking, feeling and smelling amazing read on to learn more.
John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Shampoo & Conditioner pictured on left and a beauty bag must have. Review of Glaze and Gloss coming soon. 

The first step to this amazing system is the Brilliant Brunette Moisturizing Shampoo which according to John Frieda will "Protect and preserve your brunette colour. Formulated with crushed pearls and sweet almond oil, Brilliant Brunette Multi-Tone Revealing Colour Protecting Shampoo unlocks vibrant tones and prevents colour from fading." My experience is that it defiantly protects my hair color from fading and going down the drain. It also smells wonderful and cleanses my hair perfectly getting out all the product and leaving my hair feeling cleans and soft. Combining that with the Brilliant Brunette Color Protecting Conditioner and you will have a great hair day. The scent is amazing and the conditioner truly moisturizes your hair from root to tip. I love it so much and the combination of the shampoo and conditioner protecting my brunette hair is great! I give both a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

PUR Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream

#BeautyBagDolls I am so happy today to be brining you a review of another favorite of mine for PUR. The brand has really begun to dominate my skincare routine from their amazing masks to their moisturizers and now the moisture I love its the PUR Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream. I am in love with their 4-in1 Cloud Cream so I didn't think it could get better but now I get to incorporate into my skincare routine their Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream and the results are amazing! Read on to learn more.
The PUR Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream is amazing and you need this in your beauty skincare routine. (photo of cream is top right) Check out my reviews of the blush and bronzer here.

According to PUR Get A Lift "targets the look of lines, wrinkles and sagging skin with a triple-action, nature-based formula that firms, smoothes and tightens. In a six-week clinical study, 99 percent of users reported firmer results!" I used this for a week and saw results in my face. It looked lifted and I applied this from my bust line up to keep everything uplifted and tight. I also love that the lines and wrinkles were diminished. The cream is also a good consistincy not too thick or thin, which makes someone like me with combination skin happy because this absorbs very quickly and I love using this at night because in the morning I wake to younger skin. The PUR Get A Lift Firming Facial Cream is a beauty bag must have that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop PUR to purchase.

erborian Glow Crème

#BeautyBagDolls if your looking to kick up the glow to your skin then the erborian Glow Crème is what you need in your skincare routine right now! Curious as to what the erborian Glow Crème is well it is a multi-benefit primer which helps to illuminate and bring a perfect-looking radiance to the complexion. This is currently available for you to buy at Sephora and read on to learn more about it.
I love the erborian Glow Crème (pictured on left) in combination with their foundation will give you glowing flawless skin. 

Erborian is a brand that I have loved for a long time now and I continue to add more and more of their products to my skincare and makeup routine the erborian Glow Crème is just the latest product I have added. I personally use it three different ways depending on my look. Most days I love to use this as my primer. I apply it all over my face and then use my makeup and it adds such an extra glow to my skin I adore it. I want note that I does have a beautiful floral scent to it so if you are super sensitive to scent it may not be for you. I like this scent it does not irate me at all and I usually do not like any scent in my makeup and moisturizing products however this is very subtle to me and fades without lingering too long. The second way I love to use this is mixing it into foundation. If I have a matte foundation I love but I want to add some glow to it few drops of the erborian Glow Crème does the trick. The third and final way I love to use this is to just use it as a highlighter over top my makeup. This is truly a beauty bag must have that get 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop Sephora.com to purchase.
