Product Review!! a BzzAgent Campaign

TRESemmé® Color Revitalize

(Probably..) Does what it claims to do, but doesn't work with my flat hair type

I rated this product 

The Tresemme color revitalize shampoo and conditioner showed mixed results on my hair type. Although I have highlights that I am always interested in preserving, my hair is also very flat, dull, gets oily, and is easily weighted down with hair products, whether shampoo, conditioner, or otherwise. Using both the sampoo and conditioner was too much for my hair type - my hair had less volume than it normally did (when I used my usual volumizing shampoo & conditioner). I also HAD to wash my hair every day while using the Tresemme products, whereas I could usually go every other day with my normal volumizing products. I decided to give Tresemme another try by using my regular shampoo with the tresemme color revitalize conditioner. The results are okay, and while it is difficult for me to tell if there are any benefits in preserving the color of my highlights, I don't notice them disappearing any more quickly than they would with my usual hair regimen. Most likely, the color revitalize conditioner alone has helped to preserve the color of my highlights and kept them from fading, versus using only a volumizing shampoo and conditioner.

My main comment is that I wish shampoos with a specific purpose, such as revitalizing/preserving color, wouldn't force you to sacrifice other things. I would be much more interested in seeing a volumizing shampoo & conditionar that claims to preserve color because it's something more specific for my hair type. People with flat, dull hair like me (highlighted or not) are most concerned with the body & lifelessness of my hair. Second, comes color because color can be changed, while getting body is an ever-existing challenge for people with hair like mine. Thanks for taking my comments under consideration.

Covergirl: 50 Years & Some Great New Products

This year CoverGirl cosmetics is celebrating the big FIVE-O Anniversary. I heard about this through bzzagent.com, which I am a member. Be sure to get involved in CoverGirl's celebration on facebook here and you'll be able to give input on future products like their upcoming mascara! 


To help kick off Covergirl's 50th Anniversary, they introduced a great new line that I am excited to get to know and comment about. 

Lately I received a free foundation sample (via the Walmart.com free sample page) from Cover Girl's new line, NatureLuxe. The NaureLuxe line focuses on achieving a natural look and natural beauty with good quality ingredients.


My review on the new NatureLuxe Silk Foundation: 
Rarely do the claims of a foundation actually achieve exactly what it says, but I found this to be the exception. The foundation felt light, natural, and blended in VERY smoothly over my face. Although the "Aspen" (320) shade was probably one shade darker than what I needed, I proceeded to apply it and it blended in better than any "over the counter" foundations I have ever tried so far. It really did feel "silky" but in the most natural way. I always prefer for someone to think I'm not wearing any makeup (because of not needing it!) rather than them actually noticing it. This is definitely the product for that! Here are the claims of the foundation:

• Luxurious, lightweight feel
• Infused with jojoba and cucumber extract 
• Silky formula goes on smooth for a polished finish

Verdict: So, I can confidently say that this will be my next foundation purchase when it goes on sale! I believe it retails at Target for about $11.


Looking forward to trying their NatureLuxe lipsticks as well.
