I've been a WEN girl for over 2 years now. I saw Chaz Dean's first appearance on QVC and that's when I tried it. I was using Ojon at the time and I alternated back and forth for awhile but there was just no contest. I have fine hair but I only have to wash it 2-3 times a week. It stays clean longer, always has great shine and WEN fights static electricity and frizz. I have my hair professionally colored and red is the shade that fades the easiest. My colorist of 20 years noticed the difference and has been really impressed with WEN. It does have a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it will become your HG of hair care. If you have questions about it, you can always go to QVC's beauty forums, "Beauty Banter". You'll find lots of answers to your questions there. When I have time, I also help answer questions and I'll also be happy to try to help anyone here.Chaz has become a good friend of mine and he's such a great and genuine person. We became friends because he kept hearing about all of the great reviews that "someone" was writing on the Q boards. Eventually, I even flew down to L.A. and was lucky enough to have him cut & color my hair. If any of you live in the L.A. area, you should definitely check out Chaz Dean Studio. It has a really nice low key, Zen-like vibe to it and all of the staff are so friendly. It's a really comfortable and relaxing place. Chaz also has 3 new Lab puppies so if you're an animal person, you can get your pooch fix too.
This is the best foundation on the planet! Whenever I have it on, I receive comments on what pretty "skin" I have, not how good my makeup looks. The first time you purchase SK-II, you'll pay more because you're buying the little machine but replacement cartridges come in a package of two and I think they're about $80 at the department store. I haven't tried it yet but they're also for sale on ebay.
I held off on buying a Clarisonic for a long time. I'm one of those people that the sales people at department stores fight over when they see me coming! Yep, not exactly a tough sell! But, I've been trying to be more discriminating and the Clarisonic is a pricey item. But, it's the best item I've purchased in a long time. I've always hated the blackheads on my nose. I'm sure that I'm the only one who notices them, especially when I pull out a magnifying mirror! The Clarisonic really cleans those pores and I noticed a vast improvement the first week I used it. It's also great because it feels like I've had a mini facial each time I use it. The one added cost is that you need to replace the brush heads every few months. I also use either a makeup removal pad or I wash my face by hand first to remove the bulk of my makeup. It seems like a good way to help keep the brush cleaner longer.Squalane oil is the best inexpensive beauty product I've found. I heard about it on the QVC Beauty Forums a few years ago. I also heard about Body Moose there as well. Olive based Squalane oil is a wonderful basic serum for your skin and it's also a nice basic moisturizer which helps your other products to do their job. $9.99 for an ounce of squalane oil is a great deal and I heard about Body Moose dot com on the Q boards as well. They have superb customer service and they offer lots of other fun products too. I'm also a big fan of their Gator Hydrator, so...check it out. You'll also find lots of additional information about squalane oil on their site.I use it everyday. I wash my face, tone and follow up with a few drops of squalane in the morning and at night. I've stayed with it for almost 3 years now and no matter what other serums or moisturzers I may use, I'll keep it as part of my daily regime.
