Shielo - Summer Hair Needs Extra Care - Review and Giveaway US/CAN ends September 4, 2012


Shielo Hair Shampoo Conditioner Treatment

Our philosophy is to create products with integrity and ensure that we preserve the future well-being of our environment. Shielo is against animal cruelty and proud to use post-consumer recycled and recyclable packaging. 
Vegan & Natural Base 
Our products contain the highest quality ingredients from nature, combined with advances in haircare research to ensure desired performance and ultimate results. As an organization, we have committed to developing naturally-based formulas infused with organic botanicals harvested from plants grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or chemicals.

With that philosophy, you know you've just discovered a great company. Question is, how great are their products? Well, I'm going to tell a little bit about the products I received.

I was sent 2 products from their Hydrate line, the Moisturizing Shampoo and Vibrancy Conditioner, along with their popular Antioxidant Leave-In Protectant spray. The combination of these 3 products left my hair so wonderfully soft and full of body and shine.

The Moisturizing Shampoo was just that, moisturizing! I could tell an immediate difference once the shampoo was completely rinsed out. I understand that shampoo's responsibility is to cleanse the hair by getting rid of product build-up and grime but I never really thought of shampoo as moisturizing until I used this. I normally consider moisturizing as the conditioners job. Shampoo varies from label to label and some are just too heavy for my hair and others just are too light. There was a perfect balance with Shielo's Moisturizing Shampoo. Be warned that a little bit truly does go a long way. I have hair that is past my bra strap and I tend to over pour when it comes to shampoo. My first time using Shielo Moisturizing Shampoo was no exception; I used WAY more than what was necessary. Only use enough to cleanse the scalp. Conditioner is used for the ends since they're a lot more drier than the hair near the scalp. The Vibrancy Conditioner was awesome! Same as the shampoo, a little goes a very long way so go easy on it...you don't want to waste any! I don't style my hair everyday but when I do, my ends dry out so quickly. After just one use of the Vibrancy Conditioner, I could tell an immediate difference in the look and feel of my ends. The conditioner is light and extremely moisturizing. I do not like a heavy conditioner since my hair is long, it tends to become weighed down and kind of oily looking.

The importance of healthy hair is to take care of it and try to read the ingredient list. The Moisturizing Shampoo does not contain sulfates. Sulfates are harsh on the hair and cause it dry out a lot quicker than we'd like it to. This line is great for color treated hair. The more moisturized your hair is, the more vibrant the color is and will not fade as quickly...sounds great, right - you bet it does!

The Antioxidant Leave-In is paraben free and contains UV protection with organic extracts. This is one fabulous leave-in. It contains amino acids that infuse hair with vitamins while providing UV protection while eliminating frizz and protecting hair from styling tools...great stuff!



Give Shielo Moisturizing Shampoo, Vibrancy Conditioner and the Leave-In Protectant spray a shot, you'll be amazed by the results.

WHERE TO BUY:  You can purchase Shielo HERE.

HOW TO CONNECT:  You can connect with Shielo Hair Care on Facebook and Twitter.



Thanks to the wonderful people over at Shielo, one lucky reader from the US or Canada will win the Moisturizing Shampoo, Vibrancy Conditioner, and the Leave-In Protectant spray! This giveaway will end on September 4, 2012. Good luck to all!

Cristophe Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner Set Review - Giveaway to Follow!






It's summertime and now is the time to have THE perfect hair! Sun damage and wind damage can dry out our tresses causing our 'once shiny' hair to become dull and lifeless.  I would love a warm welcome for Cristophe Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner!




Ever evolving with the same dedication to beauty, Cristophe believes beauty starts from the inside. A dedication to health will produce glowing skin, luscious hair, and overall natural radiance. Cristophe’s approach is based on maximizing that radiance, creating fashionable hair styles that reflect the client’s personality and sensibility to provide a beautiful outward appearance.

Beauty should be simple; and our goal is to help ease any stress when it comes to the care and health of your hair and appearance. Through our network of retailers and social media efforts we strive to share the ultimate experience in hair services and products with consumers everywhere.




Before receiving the Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner I had remembered seeing another Cristophe product on a shopping channel.  I was intrigued about the product line, which brought me to this review.  I have dry, dull, lifeless hair and I'm always on the look out for new products to add to my shampoo and conditioner rotation.  I have several different shampoos and conditioners, that I rotate, so that my hair won't 'get used' to the same stuff; I've learned a lot over the years through self discovery and through beauty blogs and websites.

Here's the deal with me and shampoo/conditioner; It's important, to me, that there is some sort of 'slip' to my hair while the products are in there.  If I don't feel that 'slip' then I know that the products are not going to work for my particular hair type.  Cristophe's Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner, both, provided me with that 'slip' that I so desire in hair cleansing products.  After applying, I just couldn't wait to see how my hair was going to turn out.  Let me back track for just a second.  The smell of this shampoo and conditioner is TO DIE FOR; It kind of reminds of a drugstore brand (which shall remain nameless) that just never worked for my hair but I kept trying to use just becuase I loved the smell of the product.  The smell will linger for a bit but didn't seem to interfere with my perfume or scented lotions.


The consistency of the shampoo and conditioner is nice and thick.  I don't know about you but, I just do not like a runny shampoo and definitely not a runny conditioner.  The shampoo really cleansed, my naturally oily hair, to perfection.  My hair felt so moisturized just from using the shampoo alone.  Next I applied the conditioner - to the ends only.  If you try to use any conditioner (not just this one) on the roots, you're going to end up with zero volume! Anyway, I let it sit in my hair long enough for me to bath, shave and all of that good stuff.  During the rinsing process, I just couldn't get over how 'slippery' my hair felt.  Seriously, I just love the feeling of my fingers effortlessly gliding through my wet hair.  It rinses out easily.  It may feel like you still have product in your hair but, that is just the conditioner making your wet hair feel so silky.  I couldn't wait to blow it dry to see the final results.

After letting my hair air dry for about 20 minutes, I got down to business.  I did not use any other type of  products in my hair.  Normally I will use a glossing serum or heat protectant before blow drying but, I wanted to see the true results.  Just as I had hoped, my hair was super shiny and silky soft!  I normally have to use a glossing treatment to obtain those kind of results.  I was pleasantly surprised and way too happy, hehe.  I have given these products a permanent home in my shampoo and conditioner rotation.

Right now, there is a Summer Solstice Sale where you can purchase the Glossing Shampoo, Conditioner, and Cristophe Professional Volumizing Spray Tonic for only $15!

WHERE TO BUY:  You can purchase directly from their website HERE. The Glossing Shampoo sales for $12 and the Glossing Conditioner for $13.

HOW TO CONNECT:  You can connect with Cristophe on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube.


COME BACK IN, LITERALLY, A FEW HOURS (11 p.m. CST) TO ENTER TO WIN A GLOSSING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER SET OF YOUR VERY OWN!  
THERE WILL BE 3 WINNERS! GIVEAWAY WILL BE OPEN TO THE US.

ENDED~Beecology Review and Bee-utiful G!veaway!



Beecology: All Natural Shampoo and Conditioner, Bath and Body Products,  Lip Balms.  Not to mention organic and all natural soaps!

I just love discovering new products so when I came across Beecology, I was eager to give them try.  I've really been trying to find a good sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and I had yet to find them, that is, until I tried Beecology's All Natural Sulfate-Free Shampoo and All Natural Conditioner.


THIS COMPANY IS FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED
GOTTA LOVE THAT!


Natural Honey and Botanical Sulfate-Free ShampooWe rely on nature to bring you gentle cleansing and rich, creamy lather you simply won’t find with other SLS-free shampoos. Our blend of botanicals, including healing and nourishing chamomile, yarrow, orange, honey, and nettle, repair your hair naturally. With aloe and honey for moisture plus natural wheat and soy proteins for strength, body, and softness. You’ll get luxurious, manageable hair from this sulfate- and paraben-free shampoo that gives you everything you need and absolutely nothing you don’t.

The smell is so hard to describe but it has a nice fresh scent with a hint of honey. It had a nice creamy lather..not a lot of suds, which it shouldn't being that it is sulfate-free.  That's the part that takes a little getting used to.  You feel like you need a whole lot, but trust me, you don't.  My hair felt clean and moisturized just from using the shampoo alone!  I was extremely surprised and overly impressed with this shampoo. 



Repair Your Hair  Naturally ConditionerJust as your body feels better when you nourish it with natural foods, your hair feels better when you soften it with a natural hair conditioner. Beecology uses only the purest ingredients to create our natural hair moisturizer. The combination of flavonoids, exotic proteins, and nature’s oils will strengthen and nourish your hair like no other natural hair conditioner on the market. Use it after Beecology’s sulfate-free shampoo to bring out the shiny, silky best in your hair every time you shower.
Following the shampoo, I used their All Natural Conditioner.  The conditioner has just the perfect consistency, to me...not too thick and definitely not runny.  I'm so used to my hair having that 'slip' from using conditioners with silicones and when this conditioner didn't have that 'slip', I became a little concerned.  Well, my concerns were put to rest once I rinsed.  I could actually run my fingers through my hair!  I can only do that if I'm using a conditioner that contains silicones.  I couldn't wait until my hair dried to really determine how well the conditioner worked.   I let my hair air dry and let me tell you, I was blown away at the amount of volume I had!  My hair just felt  thicker and just looked so much healthier...yes with just a one time use! My hair was super soft too. I was truly amazed and most certainly impressed.  I have found my new conditioner.




Natural Honey and Peppermint Body WashBeecology knows what you want in an SLS-free body wash: luxurious lather, an intoxicating scent, and gentle but effective cleansing power. We've wrapped these elements into every natural shower gel we make.
These fabulous body washes begin with pure oils and other simple cleansing and moisturizing ingredients; the perfect blend of natural fragrances adds the finishing touch. Choose from peppermint, grapefruit and lemongrass, and lavender and bergamot to find an SLS-free body wash that suits your fancy.
With no worries about artificial color or chemical preservatives, you'll be able enjoy the guilt-free pleasure of each Beecology natural shower gel.
I was also given the opportunity to try their Natural Honey and Peppermint Body Wash.  This body wash is SLS free and smells OH SO GOOD.  The smell of the peppermint just relaxes you and gives your body a nice cool feeling.  Man, did I ever enjoy using this body wash!  Left my skin feeling fresh and not tight at all.  



Original Honey Hand & Body Cream TubeShea butter lotion. Those three simple words promise you’re getting a product created from one of the best natural moisturizers around. What makes Beecology’s Hand & Body Cream different from the rest is our other ingredients, such as Cupuacu butter, honey, and olive oil, all combined in a fabulous paraben-free lotion. Light on fragrance but heavy on healing power, our unique Shea butter lotion will fast become your favorite.
Last but not least, I tried the Original Honey Hand and Body Cream.  This lotion is nice and light and helped to soften my hands up a bit.  I would have liked it to be more moisturizing but overall it was pretty good.





HOW TO CONNECT:  You can purchase all of their products on their website here.  You can connect with Beecology on Facebook here and Twitter here.

HOW TO WIN:  If you would like to try these products for yourself, then listen up!  The fabulous folks at Beecology would love to give one of my readers the opportunity to try out the same products I did.  The contest will be open to the US and Canada and will end on February 18, 2012.  Good luck to all!
