CC Loves... These Beauty Products!

Darlings, get an auspicious start to the month by caring for YOU: mind, soul, body, hair and skin!

Pili Ani Self-Care Night Recovery Oil, a luxurious overnight treatment that hydrates, calms irritation, reduces redness and prevents breakouts. Wake up to balanced, revitalized and radiant skin with its soothing botanical blend. Pili Ani, a Filipino skincare brand newly launched in the US, is the only brand that harnesses the power of Pili Active Oil, a proprietary ingredient blending both Pili and Elemi oils. Sourced from the Pili fruit, Pili oil has the highest source of Vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, making it incredibly nourishing. Pili Oil deeply penetrates skin, locking in moisture without a greasy feel. It protects against free radicals and environmental pollutants while repairing and reversing skin damage, leaving your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing!

Bubble Skincare First Class Oil Cleanser quickly and easily breaks down oil-based products (like makeup & SPF!) and excess oil buildup. This lightweight formula soothes skin and transforms into a milky texture when rinsed. The end result is luxuriously soft, smooth, and makeup-free skin. 

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, one of CC's anti-frizz blowout go-to products. Simply spritz on damp hair and style as desired!

John Frieda Frizz Ease Smooth Operator Blowout Spray (which recently went viral on TikTok!) features a Humidity Shield Complex that forms an invisible barrier, protecting hair from environmental stressors that cause frizz and thermal damage up to 450⁰F/230⁰C. Infused with keratin, Frizz Ease Smooth Operator delivers a mirror-like shine, while the non-greasy formula ensures hair stays light and voluminous. The best part - the benefits last for up to three washes! Simply apply to towel-dried hair, comb through evenly and blow-dry for a sleek, long-lasting style.

John Frieda Frizz Ease ULTRAfiller+ Hair Density Scalp Serum targets fine, thinning hair at the roots by nourishing the scalp with a potent blend of ingredients including Biotin to strengthen hair, Peptides to optimize follicle activity and caffeine to stimulate roots, promoting density and thickness. Moreover, rosemary essence makes the application process a relaxing and rejuvenating experience!
