Hair Obsessed? 10 NEW Products You Need to Know About Now

1. L'Oréal Paris Root Cover Up
I'm always looking for the easiest way to hide my grays in between salon appointments and this is my latest find. In just three seconds my grays are not only hidden, they are covered until I wash out the innovative formula that doesn't rub off or smudge either. It matches my hair perfectly and comes in six shades to match most hair colors: Light to Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Light to Medium Blonde, Dark Blonde and Red Black. Buy it for $10.99 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like Target or Walgreens.

2. Dove Advanced Hair Series Serum-In-Oil
This unique serum-in-oil instantly rescues dry, damaged. Just three or four pumps into freshly washed hair provides a ton of smoothness with it's potent formula. My hair is left super soft and shiny while still staying manageable. I also like using one pump into my dry hair to manage flyaway's and static which seem to be out of control this time of year. Buy it for $5.99 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like Target, Walgreens or drugstore.com.

3. Alterna Caviar Moisture Intense Collection
My hair has been super dry this winter so it has been enjoying this new collection that features an innovative Moisture Intense Caviar Oil Crème Pre-Shampoo Treatment that helps the moisturizing agents in the shampoo and conditioner work better. My hair is proof that it works. The shampoo and conditioner are oil based so they work for those with severely dry hair so that it is left silky soft after just one use. I only have to use it a few times a week. Buy Alterna Haircare Moisture Intense Caviar Oil Crème Shampoo and Alterna Haircare Moisture Intense Caviar Oil Crème Conditioner at alternahaircare, Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta and fine salons.

4. L'Oréal Paris EverPure Cleansing Balm
I don't think I have expressed my love for cleansing conditioners enough and this new large size EverPure Cleansing Balm is my latest obsession two-in-one for gentle daily hair maintenance. This hair cleanser replaces your regular shampoo and conditioner as it gently cleanses the scalp and deep conditions the hair without weighing it down. It's a low-lather formula that takes getting use to, but once you do, you will be just as obsessed as I am. This cleanser with pure botanical ingredients banishes dirt and oil from the hair without stripping strands. It's free of sulfates, silicones and dyes so it's ultra gentle for color-treated and processed hair. There is also a version for curls called EverCurl Cleansing Balm and one for damaged or dry hair called EverCrème Cleansing Balm. Each bottle has enough for 32 washes. Buy it for $11.99 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer such as Target.

5. Kérastase Elixir Ultime Volume Beautifying Oil Mist
I have a lot of hair but it is fine. I'm always looking for products to add volume and shine to it without weighing it down. It's been a struggle until now that I've discovered this oil mist that is the brands first bi-phase oil. I knew it would be winner — it is Kérastase. The brand uses a very specific technology that actually expands hair’s thickness by amplifying the diameter of each individual hair strand. It does that and combines with the carrier oils in the Oleo-Complexe to bring on superior shine and softness. All it takes is three or four mists over wet hair and voilà! Buy it for $58 at Kerastase-USA.com.

6. Dove Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo & Conditioner
For when hair is really dry or if your hair is damaged, this newer shampoo and conditioner offers a ton of nourishment deep down. Made with Red Algae + Keratin NutriComplex, this duo goes beyond repairing damage, it works to nourish the hair where it is needed most. Damaged hair is made stronger as it is further protected. When using, hair is simply looking healthier too. Buy it for $4.99 each at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like Target.

7. Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Born Red Collection
If you've ever thought about going red, now is a great time because red hair is on trend and it can work with any skin tone if you choose the correct shade. With Clairol's new Born Red Collection from Nice 'n Easy, there is literally the perfect red for everyone. With nine naturally vibrant shades that look very natural, there is one in the line up for you. What I love about Nice 'n Easy is the technology —  Clairol has developed a unique Color Blend Technology that ensures natural-looking color with rich tones and highlights in one simple step. I'm thinking about going richer and trying Natural Reddish Blonde. See all of the shades here. Buy it for $7.99 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer like drugstore.com.

8. L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Curls Collection
Curly girls take note, this new collection of products was made for you and me, part of the year. You wouldn't know it, but my hair has a lot of natural curl to it. When it gets at all humid out, my hair curls up and I need to manage it, because it becomes unruly and dry the second I try to put a hoot tool on it. Designed specifically with the needs of curly haired women in mind, this collection includes oils to nourish, replenish and define curls: Amla, Coconut, Soja, Sunflower, Rose and Flax Oil. The line-up includes an Extraordinary Oil Curls Nourishing Shampoo & Conditioner along with Extraordinary Oil Curls Re-Nutrition Mask. I'm addicted to the mask (even though I'm not in curly season). It just leaves my hair so soft and shiny — somewhat bouncy too. The shampoo and conditioner sell for $4.99 each while the mask sells for $6.99. Buy them at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer.

9. StriVectin Hair
The brand so popular for their anti-aging products has now branched off to include haircare and I'm excited about it. I picked up the Ultimate Restore Starter Trio to try out and I was super impressed. Made for thinning hair, this trio included a Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask that all work together to help reduce the breakage of thinning hair. My hair felt very nourished and looked salon fresh when using. I didn't use it long enough to tell if it repaired breakage but it is something I would buy again. I do want to try the other products which include products for volume and products for color-treated hair. Buy it from Sephora and Ulta.

10. Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Anti-Static Translucent Dry Conditioning Finishing Spray
I don't know about you, but my hair is full of static and flyaways all winter long and I cannot stand it! This hair spray has been my savior! Not only does it offer a nice medium hold that can be brushed out and re-styled, but it actually gets rid of static and flyaways. It does so by locking moisture into the cuticle — so smart! Buy it for $18 at Sephora.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation.

L'Oréal Paris has recently launched one of the first to mass cushion foundations and this is one that you need to take note of. Not only is this foundation a first of its kind for the brand, it's simply a really great foundation. L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation is a buildable liquid foundation, packaged in a way that it is portable, that leaves skin in such a way that it looks sheer, yet luminescent on the skin.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation

Can you tell that I am really impressed by this one? Well, I am. L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation is pretty mistake-proof from the start, like all cushion foundations are. With the packaging of the liquid embedded into the micro-aerated cushion, the formula is always fresh, allowing you to apply just the right amount of foundation you need.

It's so easy to apply by simply tapping the top of the cushion with the enclosed super soft, non-absorbent, anti-microbial puff. I tried other ways to apply, and honestly, the sponges (or specially designed puffs as they call it) that come with these cushion foundations, really are the best way to apply. After you get just a bit of the foundation onto the puff, blend it out over your skin until you have your desired coverage. If you need more coverage, tap and blend on more. Right out of the compact, the coverage is sheer — like your skin just better — but I use a bit more to hide some redness that I have. It does blur away imperfections and make skin look pretty flawless even without a ton of coverage. The end result is a slight glow or the look of luminescence; a real fresh look to the skin.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation

There are 12 True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation shades that are broken up into warm, cool and neutral undertones that will blend to match a good variety of skintones. I thinking finding your perfect match may be a little tricky, but start with your undertone then look from there. 

The complete shade line-up:

  • W2 Light Ivory
  • N2 Classic Ivory
  • W3 Nude Beige
  • C3 Creamy Natural
  • N3.5 Classic Buff
  • N4 Buff Beige
  • C4 Shell Beige
  • W5.5 Suntan
  • N5.5 Perfect Beige
  • C5.5 Natural Tan
  • W8 Crème Cafe
  • C8 Cocoa
L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation

I was sent three shades to try and they were either too light or too dark, but I did blend two of them to give it a try for the day. I liked it enough to run out and buy C3 and N3.5 to see which is a better match for my NC30 skintone. With stores like CVS that have such a great no questions asked return policy, I know that I can try them both at home and return the one that is not right, for a full refund.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation sells for around $16.99 at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer. Buy it now at Target, Walgreens or drugstore.com.

Lovatics by Demi Lovato for NYC New York Color.

One of my favorite mass brands is NYC New York Color. I've always been impressed by the quality of the products especially at the price point — the products are all under $5! Demi Lovato is the latest famous face to partner with the brand (I think it is their first celeb partnership) and together they have created a capsule collection named just for her: Lovatics by Demi Lovato.

Lovatics by Demi Lovato for NYC New York Color

Lovatics by Demi Lovato features an amazing 12-pan eyeshadow palette that goes the distance, an eyebrow pencil to help frame those peepers, a mascara that wows the lashes with up to 11X the volume and a really unique lip and cheek tint. Take a look at it all.

Lovatics by Demi Lovato for NYC New York Color

Lovatics by Demi Eyeshadow Palette - $4.99
This 12 pan eyeshadow palette features 12 nude shades that rivals any of the big guys at a price that is easy on the pocketbook. The shades range from matte to shimmer and light to dark with everything you need to create an everyday nude and natural look to a more smokey natural look. There are even shades that are good for lining and some with a bit of glitter in them. They are pretty well pigmented and last well. I highly recommend wearing them over an eyeshadow primer like Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Lovatics by Demi Volume & Length Mascara - $4.99
I could not find this mascara anywhere so it really must be a hot seller! It promises up to 11X more volume and up to 64% more length. The brush is a Dual-Fiber Brush with both small and rigid bristles to catch and reveal even the smallest of lashes, while long and flexible bristles instantly pump up the volume of lashes. The formula is enriched with beeswax and specialty waxes to enhance and build volume. It comes in black.

Lovatics by Demi Eyebrow Liner - $1.99
This eyebrow eyeliner gets the job of grooming brows into place done! With a creamy pencil on one end and a stiff brush on the other, it's all you need to shape, fill in and define. The liner stays put too. This eyebrow liner comes in Medium Brown and Dark Brown.

Lovatics by Demi Lip and Cheek Tint - $3.99
With a unique see-through texture and color, you simply need two strokes of this Lip and Cheek Tint on the apple of your cheek to give them a pop of color. I like to apply it with my fingertips and blend out with a beautyblender. For lips, you need to add more coats to build up a more bold and sexy look. I like to top it off with a little bit of gloss because these are almost like stains. This comes in four shades: Cheeky Pink, Cheeky Red, Cheeky Strawberry, Cheeky Berry.
