Review: Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves Frizz Control Hair cream

Lovin' the smell of this frizz control hair cream! The coconut scent reminds me of summer days ;]  The ends of my hair are pretty split-end like and frizzy... but when I apply a dime sized amount on my hair when it's still damp, it works wonders!  The formula is pretty thick and a little goes a long way.  Most days I don't like to use any type of heated tool on my hair (blow dryer, hair straightener, curling iron, etc) so this cream is a great formula to keep the frizz & fly-aways down!

My prior experience with Not Your Mother's has been sub-par.  I have the "Clean Freak: Refreshing Dry shampoo and the scent is over powering, definitely something I would not purchase again.  Sometimes after I use it, I can still smell the scent lingering in the area that I used it... 45 minutes later!  But this cream has made me curious about the rest of their line.  I am SUPER interested in their "GIRL POWDER: Volumizing Hair powder" and the "Beach Babe: Texturizing Sea Salt Spray"

What do YOU think of the Not Your Mother's line of hair products?  What is your experience?  Any recommendations?

Ren samples!

Ren Clean Skincare was generous enough to send me some samples so I can test out their products!

This is what I received:

• Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel
• Invisible Pores Detox Mask
• T Zone Balancing Day Fluid
• Mayblossom T Zone Control Cleansing Gel
• Multi Mineral Pore Minimising Detox Mask
• Omega 7 Overnight Lipid Renewal Serum
• (2) Glycolatic Skin Renewal Peel Mask

Review of the Glycolatic Skin Renewal Peel mask:  I used this on a particularly dirty-feeling kind of day.  The consistency is gooey and it has a nice clean, orange-like scent that is pretty relaxing.  It is a light sheer orange but applies clear on my face.  The packet was pretty generous one time use amount.  After applying generously on my face, there was still about a quarter left.  The directions state to apply to face and neck so I used the remaining amount and applied it generously to my neck and jawline for 10 minutes!  There were moments of a slight tingly-ness but nothing alarming.  While washing it off, I felt like a layer of dirty dead cells washed away and my skin is so soft and feels refreshed! Definitely LOVING this mask!

Pop Sugar's November Must Have!

Gorjana "Parker" Bracelet (valued $55.00): Beautiful leather bracelet with gold links!

I always have my gold bangle on, 100% of the time.  I can never find a bracelet to match and be comfortable with... But this combination is great! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! ;]

La Boite Spice Mixes 

Mor Lip Macarons in French Vanilla (valued $10): inspired by flavors of macarons, this lip balm is amazing! There is just a hint of french vanilla and super moisturizing.. especially since the cold weather is approaching quickly!  The texture is rich and silky.

Yogalosophy DVD (valued $) Yogalosophy? I won't knock it til I try it... I need to learn some new moves too!

Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut mix (valued $9.95): This looks delcious! Although I don't have a doughnut pan, I can make these in cupcake version!

Thank you cards (valued $7.88): contains 6 cards

StyleMint credit (valued $29.99): Thanks to the insider tips on MUT (buy two pieces for the price of one), I used my credit at JewelMint.  I ended up ordering the Modern Love Friendship Bracelets and Tangerine Dream Bracelets (Note: I used a prepaid card because I do not want to sub this type of subscription.  There is a monthly fee of $29.99, unless you skip the month <which I believe you can do for as long as you want.> However, if you forget, they will charge you for the one credit.)

Bracelets I ordered! 

CanvasPOP (valued $30): I thought this concept was pretty cool so I tried it out.  I ordered a great picture  of my nephew as a gift for my sister.  (Full disclosure: I spent additional money to order a 12x18 canvas picture but they had items for $30 - $35 for a rolled up version).
