AXE Buzzed Look Cream + SPF 15: Review and Giveaway!

Y'all know military-inspired fashion has been hitting up the runways, but the trend isn't exclusive for women's fashion - men can get in on it, too!  And what look better exemplifies the military trend than a buzz cut?  However, this low-maintenance style can leave the tops of guys' heads exposed to harmful rays from the sun, leading to sunburning and peeling - which is not comfortable or attractive.

That's why AXE introduced one of its newest products to hit the market: Buzzed Look Cream + SPF 15.

Guest Review: John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray

Happy Friday!  Jenni here from Engineered Style.  Thanks for joining me on the last day of John Freida reviews on Splendiferous Inclinations!  I blog from the perspective of an engineer, constantly looking for ways to re-engineer my style and life, while meeting the constraints of work on a construction jobsite.  I was delighted when Jessica gave me the opportunity to try out this new John Frieda lightening product.  My work outfits may require long pants and closed toe shoes, but my hair can be any color, length or style that I please!

Several months ago, I decided to brighten up my dark blond hair with highlights.  I haven't done anything since, so I have some faint lines about 2"-3" from my scalp...I like to think of it as my own version of an "ombre" look (ha!).  Here is a glimpse...Check out the rest >>

Review: John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight

I love having curly hair, but every now and then I like to change up my look by styling my hair straight.  However, in the past, this meant straightening my hair multiple times a week to maintain my look.  When I first heard about John Frieda's Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Semi-Permanent Styling Spray, I was anxious to see if it would live up to its name.  Admittedly, I was quite skeptical, especially since the Texas humidity often destroys a straight 'do by the end of the day.

Imagine my surprise when the product actually did perform excellently!

Review: John Frieda Luxurious Volume Anytime Hair Refresher

Next in line for my week of John Frieda reviews is Luxurious Volume Anytime Hair Refresher.  Let me start off by saying that I love dry shampoo, and this is one of the best ones I've tried.  What I like so much about it is that it helps eliminate oil between washes, but it also revives volume in hair.  My hair tends to fall limp after a couple days without a wash, but this product really adds some much needed body.  Just spray onto roots and style.  That easy.

Review: John Frieda Touch-up Flyaway Tamer

Yesterday, I talked about the shampoo and conditioner from John Frieda's Full Repair line.  Today, I'll be reviewing another product from the line: Touch-up Flyaway Tamer.  John Frieda's website describes the product this way: "Crystal-clear formula with Inca Inchi Oil weightlessly smoothes flyaways and frayed ends to keep full-bodied styles perfectly polished.  Ideal for on-the-go touch-ups and boosting shine."  I must say, the product actually works exactly as described.

Review: John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo and Conditioner

I have been using the Full Repair Shampoo and Conditioner together since I received them at the John Frieda Salon Tour, and I have been pretty impressed.  The shampoo cleans hair very effectively without over-drying, and following up with the conditioner has left my hair silky soft.  Usually, I don't style my hair with too much heat, but I've been straightening my hair more often lately.  This system has helped keep my split ends under wraps, and my hair does not look or feel dry at all.  Also, I don't like to use shampoos and conditioners that have a strong floral or fruity fragrance, and this system has a wonderful clean, fresh smell that I love.

John Frieda Precision Foam Colour: A demonstration and review

I have a special treat in store for you this week!

Remember my John Frieda Salon Tour post?  Well, I've been using all of the products provided to me by JF, and now it's time for reviews!  I also wanted to try JF's new Precision Foam Colour, so I went out and bought a box myself so I could see if it really is as easy to use as all the ads suggest and let you know my thoughts.  What's best is that this review is kicking off a week of reviews, culminating in a John Frieda giveaway featuring 6 full size JF products! Over the course of the next 5 days, I'll post reviews of each product, and, on Friday (the fifth day), I'll post the giveaway, where you'll have the chance to win all the products I reviewed!  (The Precision Foam Colour will not be included in the giveaway...just think of this as a little preview!)

If you're interested in learning more about John Frieda's Precision Foam Colour, watching a demonstration, and hearing my review, check out this video, and be sure to let me know what you think!  Be sure to stay tuned the rest of the week to learn more about the products that will be included in the giveaway on Friday.

p.s. Many thanks to Vimeo for freezing on my most awkward face ever.  I am humbled by your kindness.

Calling all blondes

John Frieda Salon Tour in Dallas

Today I attended the John Frieda Salon Tour in Dallas at the Shops at Park Lane.  I received a phenomenal hair transformation, courtesy of one of the JF stylists on the tour, and learned a lot about JF products.  Overall, I had a fantastic time!
