L'Occitane Brightening Essence and Pivoine Delicate: perfect for prom in Mesa Arizona or your town!

10 Biggest Hair Myths

Want the whole truth about hair care? Our experts break down the widely-accepted misconceptions here

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair care products article We've all grown up believing a myth or two. (Who wouldn't want to believe a fairy pays for our teeth?) But there are a few hair legends -- like you shouldn't use a brush on wet hair -- that you may not have known were myths to begin with! Find out the truth from our experts' list of the 10 biggest hair myths now. Debunk hair myths

Hello Gorgeous!
Getting ready for prom in Arizona? Or are you starting to look for a present for your Mom for Mother's Day?

Personally-I love the thick rich cremes of L'Occitane, but there is so much more to the line!

For instance, this product you see to the left-I've been using it on my hands and face to lighten sun damage-and overall, it's adding a light luminosity to my skin.

Here's a bit from the website:

"Immortelle Brightening Essence is a serum that corrects wrinkles, evens skin tone and brightens the complexion. Its aqueous texture enhances the penetration of Immortelle essential oil, which stimulates collagen production and fills wrinkles.*

The concentrated formula of the Brightening Essence also offers:
- Bellis Perennis extract and a Vitamin C derivative to diminish age spots and give skin a youthful glow
- Garden Nasturtium extract to increase the skin’s natural ability to reflect light..." read more on the L'Occitane website!

Now-another reason to go to the website is to play with the makeup tool in the Pivoine Delicate page where you can try on several looks and mix and match hair color, eye color and the shades from the makeup.

I received a sample of the L'Occitane Pivoine Delicate lipstick and the color is called #2. It's the most sheer pink and so 'ballerina' like-exactly the idea and feel behind the line. See so for yourself in the video!

Mother's Day-give Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds for a classic gift!

Hello Gorgeous!
Happy day to you too! Now, we are days away from Mother's Day-a chance for you to honor the Mama in your life.
I for one, think fragrance is always a great gift. Though, then again, I am a self describe fragrance junkie!
I love the classic fragrances created with Elizabeth Taylor. The White Diamonds scent in my humble opinion is as classic as Chanel's No. 5. Which just so happens to be another favorite of mine!
Now, if you are getting a fragrance gift for mom-consider a powder. Such as this luxurious White Diamonds body powder complete with large over stuffed fluffy puff to sprinkle and spread on your body-or where ever needs scenting.
Layering a scent is what makes it last longer-so if you know your Mom already has the atomizer-why not get the companion such as powder, bath gel or lotion? Enjoy the "scenting" and shopping for Mom! You can pick White Diamonds up at any major retailer such as Macy's, Target, Walmart or a large drugstore like Walgreens.
