Get Color PHerfection with amika! (Quickie Review)



amika Color PHerfection Shampoo


Indulge dry locks with intense moisture while gently cleansing with the amika Obliphica Color PHerfection Shampoo {sent for review}. This breakthrough formula combines Obliphica (Sea Buckthorn Berry) seed oil & Wild Cherry Bark extract to deliver a luxurious lather that rinses clean. Vitamin E infuses strands with increased manageability, while the pH range 5.0-5.5 locks in color — leaving hair insanely radiant and shiny. This fabulous shampoo is for all hair types and free of parabens and artificial colors.

Perfect Your Brows With TouchBack Brow Marker!




Over time, I have learned that your eyebrows can either make or break your look; it's really true when they say they frame your face! If your eyebrows are on the thin side (like mine), it takes more than keeping them groomed, shaped, and trimmed to have them look their best. There is quite a fine line between your eyebrows looking perfectly coiffed and Groucho Marx, and I find myself struggling to find that sweet spot in between. My hair is naturally very dark {and now it is color treated}, so often times if I try to match the color it comes of way too strong. Powders can appear much more natural, but I find that it is hard to find a matte shade in the appropriate color and even with gel, my oily complexion saps the longevity of the look. So when I learned of the TouchBack Brow Marker {sent for the purpose of review}, I was excited to give it a try.

Heat Up Your Look This Summer with Streekers!


Now that I've made the leap to dye my normally very {very} dark tresses, I'm even more open to experimentation with color.  I love the look of chalking and admired the look of pink highlights on the likes of Demi Lovato, January Jones, Lauren Conrad. Come to think of it, I've always been a fan of off the wall touches of color, ever since Gwen Stefani started sporting them way back when. I can't go full on mermaid hair, so that's why I love Streekers {especially now that my hair is a little bit lighter than it has been in the past}..
