CLINIQUE GIVES YOUR LIDS A SURGE OF COLOR
PRODUCT: Clinic Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad
If you're looking for a perfect combination of shades that work alone or in tandem, Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad is just the ticket. I have the Pink Chocolate color palette and love the way these shades look both together and separately. The highlight color works great when swept over the light brown shade, and I absolutely adore the pink sparkly shade blended with the other shadows or on its own. I like that the shadows are matte, meaning they stick well onto skin and are not easily worn off.
The colors are neutral enough that you can wear them during the day and not feel too “done up” yet, with a heavier application, they can look gorgeous as a smoky eye done right at nighttime.
So no longer fear dreaded raccoon eyes… the Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad is great to add deep color to your peepers without making an overstatement.
The Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad can be purchased at Sephora stores and online at sephora.com for $25.50.

SUAVE DRY SHAMPOO SAVES TIME AND CASH
PRODUCT: SUAVE DRY SHAMPOO SPRAY
The idea of washing my hair every day makes me want to cry. Honestly, nothing sounds worse. That's why I'm thanking my lucky stars for Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray. Who wants to deal with the hassle of blow drying, straightening, and perfecting every strand of hair every single day?
No matter what kind of hair you have, styling is undoubtedly time-consuming. Most of us barely have time to stop and think in the mornings, let alone time to create gorgeous works of art on our frazzled heads. A few years ago, this little phenomenon called dry shampoo entered my consciousness. Suave's Dry Shampoo is like a miracle worker. You just spray or rub it on dry hair, and suddenly all the grease and oil disappears and smooth, pretty locks emerge. It’s perfect for after the gym, before a night out, or anytime in between.
The Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray has mineral clay which binds to hair to refresh and lift it. Just a quick spray on top of the head is all you need, and suddenly drab strands become fab tresses. It smells peachy and leaves my hair looking freshly washed, even if it’s not.
The best part about Suave’s Dry Shampoo might just be the price. A 5 oz. bottle can be bought at drugstore.com for just $3.49. So step away from the shower and put down the blow dryer, and thank me later!

NO MORE BAD HAIR DAYS OF OUR LIVES
PRODUCT: Dove Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Daily Conditioner
Damaged and stressed locks begone. BITB has a bargain solution for hair that has suffered from over drying or dying, heated styling and just plain abuse. Dove’s Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner is a deep conditioner that will give hair a lift while it restores shine and softness. It takes damaged strands from their breaking point to their most healthy and vibrant.
Case in point: after using the treatment for about two weeks, I noticed my hair seemed thicker and lusher than it had ever been, and my suspicions were confirmed when a friend of mine said “Your hair looks SO good. Are you doing anything new to it?”
Not to brag, but I knew my hair looked good, even though on this particular day we had torrential rain and wind and I had forgotten an umbrella. This conditioner has two things going for it: a white stripe, which contains conditioner that seals hair cuticles to lock in nutrients and smooth frizz, and a gold stripe that has weightless nutri-oils to deeply nourish and replenish essential nutrients. I’m very picky about what I put in my hair for fear of that greasy, weighed-down with flatness look, and this deep conditioner does exactly the opposite: the nutri-oils smooth hair and keep volume intact.
Dove’s Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner is perfect for daily use. Get great hair at a grreat price at drugstores everywhere for around $6.
