I love lipgloss too. I’d love something like this for Valentine’s day!
Me too, Mandie!
I think I could use the Conair Detangling Cushion Brush. Anything to help reduce hair loss.
I’m the same way, Shelley!
The Salicylic Wash would be great for my teens with acne. Great list, thanks!
Glad to share!
I sing the praises of the AQUIS Lisse Luxe Hair Turban whenever I can. I have a dusty rose one and just love it. It is very gentle on my fragile hair and worth every penny. I need to order another one in fact!
My daughter is absolutely loving hers!
With the state of my hair lately I could sure use the Conair detangling bursh! I’ m getting to the “cut it all off” state. It is nice to look pretty on a special night out – Walentine’s Day or any date night – so thanks for the tips
I completely understand! My hair is like that too some days!
We own two of the detangling brushes and if, by mistake, I grab a “normal” brush and start towards either of my daughters, they immediately beg for one of the “good” brushes that don’t pull their hair. Best hair tool ever invented!
I agree, Renee!
I’m addicted to lip gloss. I’ll have to check out the lip gloss compact! That’s a great price, too! 🙂
It definitely is!
These are great! I would love to have a hair turban.
My daughter loves hers!
