Victoria's Secret Secret Garden Shampoo/Conditioner REVIEW

  I don't know why it's taken me so long to try these products as I usually love ANYTHING from Victoria's Secret and am impressed with their beauty products 95% of the time.  Well, with these products, I can tell you I am very pleased.  To be honest, I wasn't expecting much in the way of actual results with these shampoos and conditioners.  I wasn't looking for something to soften my hair or give me extra moisture, etc.  What I WAS looking for was something with a lasting fragrance for my hair.  Typically, the fragrance in most shampoos and conditioners fades over time and any sort of perfume/body splash sprayed directly to the hair will evaporate pretty quickly.  I, personally, love when a fragrance lasts on my hair, no matter what product I use, be it a serum, hairspray, frizz cream, etc.  So, I decided to give these a shot for the purpose of a "hair fragrance" and for that purpose only.  Well, after using an these products for well over 3 weeks, I can tell you that they have surpassed my expectations.  Not only does the fragrance linger for hours, but the actual shampoos and conditioners made my hair super soft and more manageable.  I love that I can layer these with my other VS fragrances if I want a more lasting scent.  Amber Romance is my favorite, especially in the fall.  The price of these products isn't bad either.  They almost always have them priced at 3 for $21 or $10 each for 10.1 oz.  Not bad...not bad at all.  You can purchase these products at your local Victoria's Secret store or online at www.victoriassecret.com

To sum up:

Rating:  5 out of 5

Pros:  lasting fragrance, good value, very moisturizing

Cons:  some may consider them pricey, not easily accessible as you need to make a trip to  VS or purchase online

CHI Silk Infusion REVIEW

This is a product that I had no idea existed.  When I'm on the hunt for a de-frizzer, I look for products labeled "frizz cream" or "frizz serum" or something like that.  This one doesn't mention anything about frizz, whatsoever.  That's because it's marketed as a hair protectant and I wasn't looking for a heat protectant as I have a few that work just fine already.  But, recently, my stylist used this on my hair and I have been IN LOVE ever since!  The thing I love about this is it leaves my hair looking and feeling like silk.  NO LIE.  It makes my hair super shiny without that greasy residue and it's literally soft as silk.  You can use it on wet or dry hair....I do both.  :)  I use it on my towel-dried hair before I blow dry it, then I put a tiny bit on after to give it a bit of shine.  You truly only need a dime size amount and I have long hair, so this product is a great value!  I purchased a 6oz bottle at the salon for $25.00, but I've seen it at discount stores, such as TJ Maxx and even Target for much less.  It's a bit pricey, but the value is excellent since you don't need that much product.  For more information, check out Folica.com.
