Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One Body Lotion

One look at the dusty-rose shade of the fragrance and the retro advertising, featuring the charismatic and oh-so-alluring Scarlett Johansson, and you know everything you need to know about this potion of romantic seduction. 


Resist the urge to soak in it though; a mere touch to your pulse points with its musky rosiness is enough to exude a little of that ultra-desirable come-hither. Rose the One doesn’t do anything by force, from the mellow citrusy sweetness of its fruity accents (pink grapefruit, blackcurrant, mandarin and exotic litchi) to the mysterious and cozy base that envelops sparkling roses along with crisp notes (lily, freesia, lily of the valley) in a musky veil of luxurious ambrette seeds and sandalwood. Rose the One is a scent you need to let develop its own magic on your skin

Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One Body Lotion is a new female body lotion from Dolce & Gabbana which captures the inherent femininity and timeless heritage of the Italian luxury fashion brand. The Rose the One woman signals contemporary elegance and luxury. Petal by petal, the fragrance reveals her intimacy and precious femininity. Delicate top notes on a luxurious rose signature blend to create this elegant floral Eau de Parfum.

Let me know how you like it!

Review:

“Good for a Special Type Of Hair

I am a hairstylist who uses all of the Bumble and Bumble lines and felt that alojoba was given an unfair rating. This shampoo and conditioner are meant for extremely dry and frizzy hair. The shampoo has no surfactants and does not lather well. Good for color treated hair that needs moisture but you need to wash twice. The conditioner is one of my favorites. It is extremely moisturizing (hence the aloe vera) and doesn’t weigh the hair down. All of the bumble lines are meant for certain types of hair so research before you buy.”

Sounds Like a great buy to me!

Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System

This is a must have skin treatment for anyone with: fine, dry lines, rough skin texture, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and Dark Age spots.

Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System combines dermatologist-grade polishers and an advanced skin conditioner for a new level of smooth, refreshed, refined, youthfully radiant skin

Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System is a very easy product to use- simply scrub your face for 2-3 minutes, rinse and that is it! The grit is small, evenly sized and not overly abrasive. I have been very impressed with the results of this product. It evenly exfoliates, leaving my skin smooth and glowing! It rinses off easily.

I think what really sets this scrub apart from others is the customization that is available. You can see from the picture here that this tube is actually two tubes in one. The white has a lower amount of grit, while the gray is more abrasive. You are meant to use the scrub every other day, and after 2 weeks of use to bump up to the next number. After the cycle is complete, let your skin rest and start again. I love that the dial slowly increases the amount of grit, allowing you to decide how strong you want your exfolation to be that day.

100% of users showed improved skin texture, clarity & tone.

Starting with Level 1, use Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System 2–3 times a week for 2 weeks before proceeding to the next level. After completing all 4 levels (8 weeks) stop using for 2 to 3 weeks and then start over at Level 1.

"Advanced Dermabrasion, the first 4-level at-home system, is so effective because it starts at a lower dose and gradually works up to a maximum dosage of resurfacing ingredients." - Rashida Poorman, Skin Care Expert with over 10 year's experience in skin care development & education

Review:

“I am a skin-care junkie and invest a lot in taking care of my skin. I absolutely love this product! After only one week, my skin was smoother and brighter and most of the time I get away with just a little blush.
I will never be without this product and frankly, would pay more - but don't tell Avon!"

Overall, this is a great facial scrub; it is definitely worth checking out!

Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray

The sea and the beach are the best therapy for both body and mind. Aquage took its inspiration from the sea and the beach to create Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray. Now every day can be a day at the beach. Build volume as you create random, undone texture to your hair. A volume building styling and texture spray that’s ideal for creating that "just left the beach" style. Light conditioning oils give your hair a fresh from the beach look.

What is it?

Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray is a volume-building styling spray, infused with magnesium-rich Dead Sea salts adds thickness and helps creates random texture and separation

Why should you use it?

Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray Provides a firm-hold and dramatically increases volume without stiffness. It enhances strand separation and definition. Plus it effortlessly creates that “just left the beach look”

When is this meant to be used?

Apply to freshly shampooed, towel-dried hair as a base for creating your style. It may be reapplied to dry hair to refresh and redefine the texture

There is no set amount for how much you need to use, but they recommend applying liberally to evenly saturate hair, creating strand separation and definition

How do you us this?

After applying, comb through for even product distribution. Use a wide-tooth comb, or a wide-tooth brush or fingers to style the hair. Use a blow-dryer set on low air pressure and low heat or a blow-dryer fitted with a diffuser, set on high heat and high air flow. Dry your hair gently to achieve a natural, softly-tousled texture with volume and definition. For a less voluminous look, allow hair to dry naturally

So get that beach-y look and feel without ever leaving your house,

15 Great Hairstyle Ideas

Looking for a new haircut but not sure what to go for?

Here is the low down, the pros and cons, the yes’s and the no’s on haircuts.

Chin-Length Bob

Great for: Minimizing a prominent chin; balancing a heart-shaped face.

Avoid: If hair is extra fine — go for a more layered cut instead.

Long, Wispy Layers

Great for: Giving fine hair more body.

Avoid: Too-long sections in the front — they can overwhelm the face

Chic Shag

Great for: Slenderizing a round face; adding volume to fine or wispy hair.

Avoid: Too much pouf on top — the style will look outdated.

Natural Crop

Great for: Playing up delicate features; slashing a.m. prep-time.

Avoid: If you aren’t in love with your face shape — there’s zero camouflage here.

Long Layers

Great for: Framing and flattering most any face shape.

Avoid: Too-long sections that draw facial features downward.

Classic Curls

Great for: Softening angular features; making a long face look fuller.

Avoid: If you want to downplay plump cheeks — tight curls emphasize roundness.

Shoulder-Length Layers

Great for: Boosting straight hair’s texture and movement.

Avoid: Letting hair lie flat at the root. Try using a round brush or root-volumizer to style.

Short and Choppy

Great for: Balancing a wide face with height on top.

Avoid: If you have a long face — a tall style will make it look even longer.

Long Layers, Lots of Volume

Great for: Taming thick or coarse hair into a manageable shape.

Avoid: The dreaded triangle silhouette, formed when layers grow too long. Maintenance is a must.

Layered, Textured Bob

Great for: Wearing wispy waves natural, with minimal maintenance.

Avoid: If hair is pin-straight and lacks texture.

Long and Wavy

Great for: Instant sexiness; infinite styling possibilities.

Avoid: Wearing fine hair long — lots of length will weigh it down.

Medium-Length Layers, Sideswept Bangs

Great for: Classic style; framing the face.

Avoid: Overly flipped-out ends — too retro.

Graduated Bob

Great for: Looking polished and sleek.

Avoid: If your hair’s not straight and you lack blow-drying motivation.

Long, Curly Layers

Great for: Showing off natural spirals.

Avoid: Using too much product. Think soft and natural, not crunchy.

Romantic Waves

Great for: Playing up wavy, fine-textured hair.

Avoid: Weighing curls down with heavy products

So there you have it- the do and the don'ts of every hairstyle imaginable.

Try something new- and let me know how it works out.
