Hair Food Color Protect Dry Shampoo

Oh #BeautyBagDolls I am so excited for this first of two reviews from Hair Food products. Right now I am reviewing the product I used immediately out of the box. It is the perfect product to refresh your hair in a pinch after the gym or before going out after a long day! I am so happy to review the Hair Food Color Protect Dry Shampoo Infused with White Nectarine & Pear Fragrance.

Now after hitting the gym after work I like to use a dry shampoo just to absorb the excess oil in my scalp so I am a bit obsessed with dry shampoos and to try out the Hair Food Color Protect Dry Shampoo was a delight. I was super impressed that it first and foremost absorbed the oil making my hair feel and look refreshed without having to re-shampoo beautifully styled hair. What impressed me even more is the fact that it helped give me back some volume that I had lost in my hair from the day all while absorbing the oils. I also must mention that this dry shampoo from Hair Food is paraben, mineral oil and gluten free. It is formulated to protect your color treated hair and it smells amazing! I am giving this a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA for this beauty bag must have!

Sky Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls I am bringing you a review of the Sky Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask. Sky Organics is a new brand to me but I jumped at the chance to try out the Dead Sea Mud Mask, I love doing a mask and most weeks I do one daily no matter how tiered I am I will remove my makeup and try to do a mask of some sort. Mud masks are my favorite but you only have to use the Sky Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask once a week so I used this one 3 times before writing this review. This mask is a deep skin cleanser that clears acne and reduces pores. Sky Organics’ Dead Sea Mud Mask consists of great ingredients including  "shea butter, sunflower oil, aloe vera, and a number of other organic oils." The benefits are that  removes toxins, improves circulation, helps clear acne, reduces pores & black heads and features anti-aging properties.  To purchase visit Sky Organics.

The Sky Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask is a beauty bag must!

As I mentioned you use this once a week and you apply it to your clean dry skin avoiding the eyes and lips. Leave it on for 15 minutes and use warm water and in a gentle circular motion to remove. I applied this with a brush and it smells really nice goes on easily and feels really good on the skin. After 15 minutes I  removed it as instructed and my skin look much brighter and my pores were indeed reduced. I saw those results immediately after one use. I also did not have any irritation. I had great result after my second use because my pores continued to shirk and my acne scaring looked less visible. I had no breakouts which means it really worked to pull out my acne causing toxins. I am beyond thrilled with the Sky Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask the result are instant and build over time. This is a 5 $$$$$ and a beaut bag must! I am of course giving it EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Philip B Forever Shine Shampoo & Conditioner

A beauty bag must is the Philip B Forever Shine Shampoo (photo credit Amazon.com)

Its a great hair day #BeautyBagDolls when I use the Philip B Forever Shine Shampoo & Conditioner from the Oud Royal Collection.  The combination of both the shampoo and conditioner "revives, defines and de-frizzes curls; creates sleek, swingy blowouts; and lends fine hair uplifting body and fullness."  The Philip B Forever Shine Shampoo & Conditioner also has a time-released botanical delivery system (made with natural Safflower Oleosomes) infuses hair with lasting glossiness, bounce, and the light, seductive scent of pure Oud." To learn more about the  Philip B Forever Shine Shampoo & Conditioner Oud Royal Collection click here.
As far as my experience I could not be happier! My hair is fairly long now a days and I have been wearing curly more often than not. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell wonderful they also cleanse your hair. The Philip B Fore Ever Shine Shampoo massages into your hair easily with its sulfate, sodium and chloride free formula. It also cleanse gently never leaving my hair feeling dry or stripped!

After you let it sit for 1-3 minutes rinse it out and follow up with the Philip B Forever Shine Conditioner.  This conditioner feels creamy and glides into my hair easily.  It rinses clean. After I towel dry my hair I dry it and style as usual. My hair looked so amazing it was full of body and bounce. My hair felt light and was clean and smelled so nice! I am so happy with the results I highly recommend the Philip B Fore Ever Shine Oud Royal Collection, it gets 5 $$$$$ along with being a beauty bag must of course I sing its praise with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Rituals Samurai Collection

#BeautyBagDolls I am honored to bring you another review that is gift friendly for Fathers Day this year and it comes from a brand I love Rituals They have an amazing collection that is called Samurai which is made with Organic Bamboo and Japanese Mint nourish and cool the skin. When I smelled it I thought is just wonderful. The Rituals Samurai Ice Shower Gel is amazing and the Rituals Samurai Cool Hair Strengthening Shampoo for daily use smells like a dream. Any man or woman would love this I personally did try both after my guy filled the bathroom with the invigorating scent! I had to experience it first hand for myself.

This is the perfect body care products to use! Try it and you will see why! 

I love the Rituals Samurai Ice Shower Gel it feels absolutely wonderful on the skin it immediately felt cool on contact and didn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight just cleans and soft. My guy thought is was not too foaming just the right amount and that the scent was not overwhelming just manly enough where he could still use his favorite cologne. I was happy to hear he liked it and he too would suggest this as a gift to give to his father and brother for birthdays and defiantly his dad would like it for Fathers Day. He was very happy about the cooling effect because when he uses it after a workout it truly cools him down. I can also attest to this because I used it after hot yoga and it really helped me cool down. Do I want to smell like a boy everyday well maybe don't judge-lol! In all honesty I will steal this from him every now and then but I do like my girly scents much more often then not.

Next great to give a dad, grad or special guy in your life. The Rituals Samurai Cool Hair Strengthening Shampoo for daily use  smells really good and my guy says that it cleanses his hair without leaving it feeling dry. The  Rituals Samurai Cool Hair Strengthening Shampoo contains sea minerals regulate moisture balance of the hair and scalp, Japanese Mint refreshes and stimulates. I did indeed used this and loved it however my guy loves it more so I won't be poaching it from him after all it is for him and he really love the results. He said his hair was soft which he found to be so great since other shampoos leave his hair feeling dry. He loved the scent and I did like smelling it on him and not so much myself! That the one product on the shelf that will really be his.(lol) I want to also mention that it keeps the hair in optimum condition and gives a natural gloss and contains a gentle cleanser with an anti-dandruff action.

The final product from Rituals that makes a great gift to give is the Rituals Samurai Magic Shave which is a mild and caring shave cream that is enriched with Basil and Ginseng for shaving and moisturizing the skin. While I know this is "supposed" to be for my guy I have in the past when in a pinch an out of shave gel grabbed his to shave my legs I saw no reason for me not to try this one out as well. I opened the jar and scooped some out lathered up my legs and got an incredible shave. No razor burn nicks or cuts left behind. My skin was smooth and didn't feel dry. I love this stuff and will probably be borrowing it more often than I should.

These three products from Rituals are the perfect gift to give! They are a 5 $$$$$ and beauty bag musts for any guy in your life. EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA IS IN ORDER!

dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift

Do you have tired eyes #BeautyBagDolls? Not to worry dermalogica has you covered with their new Stress Positive Eye Lift. This is a two in one eye treatment an mask that visibly reduces the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. It will instantly brighten and lift the eye area and help restore the skin barrier. This is one of the best eye cream mask gels I have ever tried! Read on for more details.

My tired eyes have been changed thanks to dermalogica!

This is a  cooling cream-gel masque energizes skin to reduce visible signs of stress. My eye area is stressed between work which I stare at a screen for some of the day and of course life in general lack of sleep of course I am always up for a new eye cream. While dark circles are a slight concern for me they do appear when I don't have enough sleep I do struggle with puffiness more often from my lack of sleep so I really put the dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift to the test. This is simple enough to apply you just apply it to cleansed skin around the eye with the cooling massage applicator and if you want to use it as a mask leave it on fairly thick for 3 to 5 minutes then massage in and remove excess with a tissue. I saw a difference in just three days using it twice daily. I did not have any puffiness and my eye area was bright and lifted. After a week I was thrilled to see that and eye cream helped boost my tired lookin eyes, it was as if the stress on them melted away and with other eye creams it does not erase the look of tied stressed eyes like dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift did. I am more than impressed and I love this product. dermalogica has quickly become one of my favorites for skin care so this is of course a 5 $$$$$ and a beauty bag must that is getting EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
