Kat Burki Body Lotion: Simple Sophistication

I’m a sucker for luxe packaging and Kat Burki has mastered it. Much like more widely known brands like Tom Ford and Chanel, Kat Burki opts for clean and simple packaging that just looks expensive (fittingly, like Tom Ford and Chanel, Burki’s products don’t come cheap…).

Melvita’s New Nectar de Roses

I have to admit that while I consider it a bonus when a product is organic/made with mostly natural ingredients, it’s not something I actively seek out.

I never really thought of spraying a fragrance in my hair because between my shampoo/conditioner and styling products I’m usually pretty happy with how it smells, but I’m all for double-duty products so I was curious to see what Serge’s fragrance smelled like. … Continue reading “Serge Normant Avah Eau de Parfum for Hair AND Body”

Kerastase Cristalliste Collection for Long Hair

Finally something specifically designed for us ladies with long hair from Kerastase! For years I’ve been using the brand’s Oleo Relax Smoothing Masque which isn’t designed for my kind of hair (it’s for thick, coarse hair whereas I have thin, long hair), but it’s one of the few products that can make my knot-prone long … Continue reading “Kerastase Cristalliste Collection for Long Hair”
