Beauty find: Moroccan Oil



This stuff is amazing!  I have naturally wavy hair (read: prone to major frizz).  It's perfect when I want the beachy wavy look, but most often I just want the flexibility and smoothness of straight hair.  So, that means blow drying and straightening with a variety of unfriendly looking tools.  Enter Moroccan Oil treatment. 

I've tried many silcone-based hair products, most of which are fine though nothing to write home about.  But this stuff is incredible!  It's also silicone-based and contains Aragan oil, which is the key ingredient.  It is super light and incredibly moisturizing - perfect for heat-styled hair.  I ended up with light, smooth and uber soft straight hair.  And it smells fantastic, warm, tropical, a hint of vanilla, I think.  It reminds me of that dark coconut suntan oil I've never been able to use with my fair skin.

Le sigh, I want to go somewhere tropical now.

Beauty find: Rodin Olio Lusso




I first heard about this amazing beauty product months ago on daily blog favorite, A Cup of Jo.  I've never looked back since.  She's right, it's a wee bit on the pricier side of fancy facial products but it IS so worth it.  Check out more product detail on Rodin's website. 

It smells amazing -- uh-mazing! -- though E would disagree with that statement. (But he's a boy, and sometimes the boys just don't understand the lure and excitement of the perfect beauty find.  It's ok, it's just one of those girlie things.) 

I think it's the jasmine oil that gets me, I'm sucker for it every time.  It truly does make for perfectly dewy, fresh skin.  It also contains soothing jojoba oil and arnica.  Love!

It's a little hard to find.  I usually hit up Fred Segal in Santa Monica when I'm visiting LA.  Otherwise, you can find it here online, which I've also done in a pinch.  Try it and report back!
