5 Reasons to Love Root Touch-Up from Nice 'n Easy.

Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up, the first root maintenance coloring product to hit the market has just reached some pretty significant milestones. Not only is Root Touch-Up celebrating it's 5th Anniversary, it has sold more than 25 million boxes to date, and has won 12 prestigious beauty awards. They have even partnered with Shutterfly.com to create the first root touch-up photo editing tool.

Clairol's new color director, Marie Robinson, give us her 5 reasons to love Root Touch-Up from Nice 'n Easy too.

1. Easy Application
   "With it's unique brush applicator, Root Touch-Up is very easy to apply and has enough product for other areas that might need some extra coverage, like around your temples."
2. Shade Match
   "The shade match is so seamless that for even my celebrity clients, I can barely tell they have used the product."
3. Time
   "This is a real timesaver! What other product makes you look and feel great in just 10 minutes?"
4. Budget
   "You can't deny the cost savings with this little wonder. Some of my clients extend their hair color up to 3 weeks when they can't get back to the salon."
5. Gray Coverage
   "I know it's not a fun topic, but you don't have to worry about Root Touch-Up. You get complete gray coverage just where you need it - your re-growth!"

I faithfully use Root Touch-Up in Medium Golden Blonde in between colorings. It makes my color stretch out to six weeks at least, and covers those pesky grays that are always creeping in around my hairline. The fact that I can pick it up at most mass merchandiser's for $6.99 makes me love it more.

Are you a Root Touch-Up user too? Why do you love it so much?

2 New Beautiful Bronzers from Physicians Formula.

When it comes to drugstore brand bronzers, Physicians Formula is always a cut above the rest. I equate their bronzers as if they were from a luxury department store with an affordable price tag. Feast your eyes on these beauties new in the PF bronzer department this year.

To choose from either of these bronzers just think what do you want from a bronzer? A shimmery bronzed look or a beautiful light bronzed glow? Or you can always pick up both to use as your mood warrants!

For the more bold shimmery bronze look, choose Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Pressed Shimmer Bronzer. The formula provides a beautiful smooth bronzed glow with a bit of shimmer. The bronze color is long lasting and naturally beautiful. You can select from your skin tone (Fair to Light, Light to Medium, or Medium to Dark) to get the perfect shade. If you are going for bold, pick a shade darker.  "Formulated with Glow Activators Technology to provide Triple-Action Bronze Boosting that helps enhance and extend the life of your tan glow and improve skin's clarity and radiance."

For a beautiful sheer pearly bronzed glow, select Mineral Glow Pearls in Bronze Pearl. It's beauty in the palette will blow you away, but not as much as when you apply. It can be used alone for the most beautiful sheer bronzed glow or used on top of a deeper bronzer to highlight and make skin look perfect.

Bronze Booster retails for $14.95 while Mineral Glow Pearls sells for $13.95.  Pick up these bronzers at mass retailers now before they sell out for the season. I shop for mine locally at CVS.

Get Extreme Lashes Naturally with Talika Lipocils Expert.

I don't think I ever talked about my love for Talika's Lipocils, a naturally based eyelash enhancer. Let me sum it up to say that I used it for a few months late last year, noticed a major difference in the length and fullness in my lashes. So when the latest, new and improved version called Lipocils Expert arrived, I knew I had to try it out right away.

Not only did Lipocils Expert lengthen and fill in my lashes like before, my lashes are darker and more "hearty". Hearty as in thicker in individual lash and as in the amount. My lashes have seems to double in number. The need for multiple coats of mascara is just not there anymore. With most mascaras, one sweep over the top and bottom lashes make my lashes look, well extreme. Almost false-like. And it is all done with naturally plant derived actives.

Lipocils Expert will make a difference to your lashes in just a month. Doing so with no harsh medications or chemicals, thus it does not irritate in any way.

Talika says that Lipocils Expert is designed to:

Stimulate eyelash growth with botanical extracts like nettle, hamamelis, and apple

Increase lashes’ curling power with Polymers & silk proteins

Deepen the natural color of your lashes with Coleus Forskohlii

Protect lashes from sunlight and other environmental aggressors with Baobab leaf & sour orange extract

Re-enforce and protect eyelash root with anti-aging peptides

I am loving the applicator too. It has a sponge tip and mascara wand. First, you use the sponge tip to apply the serum to the base of lashes and then take the wand to brush it through lashes.

The $55 price tag is well worth it for those of us craving naturally longer, thicker lashes. Pick it up online at Talika.com or at retailers such as beauty.com, Dermadoctor, Blissworld or Sephora.
