CC Loves...These Beauty Products!

Darlings, here are the beauty products CC's using and loving during these doldrum days of January:

Bubble Skincare Soft Swerve Barrier Restore Balm helps visibly calm redness, soothe dryness, and restore a softer, plumper, smoother, and more radiant look and feel to skin. It's CC's go-to for dry, tight,  flaky winter skin. Use this bodacious balm to seal in moisture, smooth rough patches, or give skin extra comfort. 

 KMS HairStay Anti-Humidity Seal: this weightless shine spray acts like an umbrella for hair, shielding lovely locks from humidity and frizz for up to 72 hours!

Arachne ShineBoost GLOSS-INFUSION™ Blonde Boar Hairbrush combines 100% natural blonde boar bristles with glossy ball-tip pins to deliver unparalleled moisture and shine. Softer and gentler than traditional bristles, the blonde boar bristles minimize damage, making it ideal for CC's color-treated hair. Experience a gentle, comfortable brushing session with Cloud Cushion™ technology, while the ergonomic handle with textured control provides salon-quality precision.

CC Loves... These Beauty Products!

Darlings, here are CC's current faves for a marvelous manicure, mane and mouth!

Hermès Beauty Limited Edition Les Mains Hermès Nail Enamel in Purple, at modaoperandi.com.

Rose Code’s Beauty Duo, featuring Lip Elixir Rx Anti-aging Lip Balm and Lip Halo Fresh Brightening Serum, this perfect pair nourishes, smooths, delivering glossy hydration and subtle plump!

When scalp issues flare up, such as itchiness, flakes, and dryness, it’s often a sign that the scalp is out of balance. Tea Tree, known for its purifying and soothing properties, helps reset the scalp environment without stripping, making it a go-to ingredient for dandruff- and sensitivity-prone scalps. SH-RD Tea Tree Scalp Shampoo puts this hero ingredient to work with Australian tea tree oil to gently cleanse, calm irritation, and restore moisture balance, while adding natural shine. The formula is powered by 1% OTP, a clinically proven ingredient that helps maintain a healthy scalp microbiota by controlling bacteria, reducing irritation, and minimizing flakes. It also offers anti-static benefits that leave hair smoother, shinier, and easier to manage.

Joico 24Hr Moisture Recharge: this leave-in treatment instantly detangles and nourishes hair, leaving parched strands feeling soft, smooth, silky, and protected from frizz.
