The No Frizz Restyling Spray ($24) is a great product, especially for a busy person like myself! This product will cut down your hair styling routine drastically. My hair routine usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. This can put a damper on my day when I'm in a hurry and need instant hair gratification. And, this is what I love about this product! It does it all for your hair within 5 minutes since it detangles, conditions and provides a light hold. There is no need to shampoo your hair more than you should with this product since it doesn't weigh down the hair or cause icky build-up.

No Frizz Restyling Spray is formulated with PolyfluoroEster, which blocks out humidity and protect your style from water vapor and friction. Your hair will look just as good and fresh as it does on the days when you shampoo and condition it - even in the harshest humidity!

To Use:


On Any Hair Style:
Apply No Frizz Restyling Spray to dry hair until lightly damp and apply heat or reshape with hands and allow to air dry.

On Disheveled, Bed Head Hair: Spray No Frizz Restyling Spray onto dry hair and blow dry to re-smooth and revive straight styles.

On Curly Hair:
No Frizz Restyling Spray can be applied directly onto frizzy, misshaped curls and scrunched with hands. Curls spring back into shape and lose the frizzies in minutes!

FlowerbyKenzo La Cologne Review



Summer weddings are on the horizon, and the FlowerbyKenzo La Cologne ($72) perfectly conveys romance and happiness for the blushing bride. Alberto Morillas combined the original poppy with "something new", blissful notes of bergamot, bigarade leaves and orange blossom. This fragrance evokes a sophisticated, yet youthful sensibility with a powdery scent.

Bigarade leaves have a slightly bitter, zesty green scent. It is also called bitter orange. Uplifting Bergamot is known to alleviate stress, but it is little known that it was a component of the original Eau de Cologne developed in the 17th century in Germany.

Full Notes:

Bitter Orange Leaves, Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, Rose, Orange Blossom, Neroli, Musks and Vanilla.

Landing Your Dream Beauty Job



With the job market harder to crack than ever, MTV recently launched their new hit reality show “Hired,” a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to prepare for and (hopefully) land your first dream job at a fashion, beauty, or lifestyle company. Sometimes the criticism is harsh and sometimes it's hilarious, but it's always constructive. And you’ll be amazed at how unprepared most of these college grads are, especially after spending years in school preparing for their career.



On June 3rd at 6:30 pm, the episode follows cult-favorite beauty brand TheBalm as they search for a new office assistant. In the callback interviews, the three final applicants are asked to pitch a new product idea to the staff of theBalm. Someone definitely impresses the staff while another leaves them a bit “shocked.”

Tarina Tarantino's New Collections at Sephora

Indulge in Tarina Tarantino's fantastical world featuring luxurious, eye-catching collections. Inspired by cutting-edge fashion, electrifying journeys, and vintage pieces, Tarina creates makeup essentials that easily go from your vanity to your cosmetic clutch. Just like your favorite piece of jewelry, TARINA TARANTINO allows you to express your true colors and reveal your inner sparkle.


Electric Butterfly Fashion Collection $19 - $35

A collection by Tarina Tarantino featuring a chic gloss-containing cocktail ring, an exclusive pressed eyeshadow, and an ultra-light lip gloss, inspired by vibrant butterfly wings.

This ensemble evokes an electrifying journey — the psychedelic metamorphosis of Electric Butterfly. While designing this collection, Tarina took cues from acid-bright 1960's op-art posters and Art Nouveau illustrations from the early 1900's. The art from these eras, with their highly stylized images and curvilinear shapes, reference the patterns in butterflies' wings.


Victorian Punk Fashion Collection $19 - $35

A collection by Tarina Tarantino featuring a chic gloss-containing cocktail ring, an exclusive pressed eyeshadow, and an ultra-light lip gloss.

Inspired by Gothic style and 70s punk rock, the Victorian Punk Collection references Tarina's love of turn-of- the-century haberdashery and dress. These influences appear in hand-printed, scrimshaw skull cameos surrounded by Swarovski crystals, then layered with charms and pearls. The rich Victorian colors of red, black, and purple combine to create a story of romance and gothic fantasy.


Bibarucci Fashion Collection $19 - $35

A collection by Tarina Tarantino featuring a chic gloss-containing cocktail ring, an exclusive pressed eyeshadow, and an ultra-light lip gloss, inspired by two of Tarina's favorite fashion icons: Barbara Hulanicki of Biba and Elio Fiorucci.

Fiorucci was known for his sexy, playful designs that were a fashion "must" during the era of Studio 54 and Disco. Barbara Hulanicki created a world of pure 1960's rock 'n' roll decadence, with black and gold, leopard prints, and Egyptian accents.


Candy Cameo Fashion Collection $19 - $35

A collection by Tarina Tarantino featuring a chic gloss-containing cocktail ring, an exclusive pressed eyeshadow, and an ultra-light lip gloss, inspired by a fantastical-yet-nostalgic vintage vibe.

Taking a colorful inspiration from her grandmother's vintage jewelry box, Tarina designed Candy Cameo around neon-colored cameos with glossy hearts and bows. This collection is playful, with vibrant colors mixing harmoniously.


Tokyo Hardcore Fashion Collection $19 - $35

A collection by Tarina Tarantino featuring a chic gloss-containing cocktail ring, an exclusive pressed eyeshadow, and an ultra-light lip gloss, inspired by the Tokyo skyline.

During her first trip to Japan, Tarina found herself immersed in a futuristic culture of cuteness that immediately inspired her to create a collection celebrating the high-tech style in Tokyo, including "Hardcore" fashion, and cosplay (costume play inspired by Japanese Anime). The neon colors represent Tokyo's skyline, which she watched from her room at night.

MJ's Herbals Review and Giveaway



Four winners will receive the entire line (a $67.95 value for each prize set) from MJ's Herbals. This includes Lavender E Salve, Calendula Salve, First Aid Salve, Arnica Salve and Breast Balm.



Sign the Google Spreadsheet above.

Entry Limit: Daily

Note: You can list bonus entries separately or all in one entry - your choice!

MJ first discovered the healing power of plants as a child growing up in Brooklyn. Her Sicilian grandmother would often use traditional herbal remedies to heal her various childhood ailments and injuries. the discovery that many of these natural, unprocessed, whole body remedies were more effective and healing than what could be purchased in a drug store inspired a life long respect, reverence and passion for the power contained within all that grows from the earth.

All herbs used by MJ's Herbals are grown in the United States and are certified organic or "grown without chemicals". This is important for purity. Organically grown plant material crossing borders into the US are often treated with pesticides to protect from foreign insects being introduced into their ecosystem.

Only organic essential oils are in MJ's products so you can be assured that you are not being exposed to harmful pesticide residues. MJ's Herbals uses only certified organic olive oil as a base for infusing herbs since it has a low oxidation rate staying fresh and stable longer than other oils.



Lavender E Salve ($12.99) is ideal for healing burns, relieving headaches, stress and anxiety. Lavender also helps heal cuts, scrapes, rashes, irritations and blemishes. Vitamin E aids in tissue repair and helps reduce scarring. I've used a similar product in the past, and it worked wonderfully for my migraine headaches that I get every now and then. This product is just as good, but much more affordable than the other product I used before. I love to use products like this since I don't use aspirin for a pain reliever. I usually wait for a headache to subside.



Calendula Salve ($12.99) is a powerful remedy for inflamed skin, slow healing wounds, skin ulcers and irritations. It is so gentle that it is even great for baby skin care needs. I love to use this product for luxuriously soft hands and feet. It is also great for dry, cracked lips and treating damaged cuticles.



Arnica Salve ($12.99) is great for bruises, overworked sore muscles, tendon injuries and sprains. It is known for bringing quick relief, promoting circulation and hastening the disappearance of discoloration from bruising. Clove oil helps relieve pain. I'm glad that I received this product, because I bruise easily. I often get bruises that seemingly appear out of no where. I tried this product on a few and they were gone within a few days. It usually takes awhile for my bruises to fade, but they disappeared quickly after using the
Arnica Salve. I will definitely order more in the future when I run out of this!



Put away that first aid kit, because the First Aid Salve ($12.99) was created for most of your healing needs! It has healing herbs that speed healing and it helps prevent infection in cuts, scrapes, cracked lips, blemishes, burns and rashes. It is great to have i the home and traveling! And, it is a must have if you have children.
