Hair 101: Beauty Protector Protect & Detangler

My hair is curly, pretty thick, and super long, which inevitably means I need a strong detangler to tame those knots. I received a sample of the Beauty Protector Protect & Detangler spray in my Birchbox and I loved it so much I had to purchase a full size of the product.

The best news is that Beauty Protector’s leave-in mist is not only a detangler- this product is about as versatile as they come. It conditions, shields from heat and sun damage, and–of course–detangles. This paraben- and sulfate-free detangler seals the cuticles (the microscopic scales that compose the outermost layer of each strand of hair). It also smooths and moisturizes, thereby minimizing frizz, while safeguarding color and adding shine. Lastly, it provides protection against UV rays and heat. Happily, it accomplishes all this through a weightless, non-greasy formula that leaves behind an airy floral scent.

How to use: Shampoo, condition, and towel dry hair. Hold the Protect & Detangle bottle four to six inches away from your scalp, and spray a few times. Comb through hair to ensure that the product is evenly diffused, and style as desired.

You can purchase this product at Birchbox.

Rachel Zoe Leila Pumps

I know I am not the only fashion girl who adores Rachel Zoe- she is an amazing stylist and super talented business woman. I love the new step she has taken in her career towards actually designing clothes and accessories.

These heels are my first footwear purchase from Rachel Zoe's designer collection, and I must say, they are pretty fabulous!! Rachel Zoe's Leila leather pump is not for the faint of heart- with a soaring height of 5.5".

The Leila heel features a smooth leather body with glossy brushstroke painted heel (5.5" with a 1.5" platform). Shockingly, these shoes are pretty comfortable and easy to walk in! Rachel has incorporated a patted footbed for comfortable wear along with some rubber padding on the heel's bottom. Leila is made if all Italian leather and materials, adding to its luxe feel and design.

This shoe is absolutely a show stopper, perfect for so many occasions. Tons of celebrities have already been spotted wearing this fab heel. I can't wait to wear mine with a pair of skinny jeans, a flowy lace top and leather jacket.

Available at fine department stores.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick

As promised here is another amazing Bobbi Brown product that is sure to become a summer staple. Meet Bobbi's foundation stick! This innovative Foundation Stick is designed for portability and adjustable coverage- it is easy to apply and blend all over the face or just where you need it.

How do I use it? Keep skin nude or use a tinted moisturizer. Instead of a full face of foundation, spot-apply the stick foundation just where skin is red or uneven.

Your skin will be feeling so much better without a liquid foundation over the summer months, and Bobbi Brown's foundation stick will give you the coverage, lasting power, and lightness that you crave in this hot weather.

With a bunch of different colors to choose from you will definitely be able to find your perfect match- I purchased "sand" and it looks great!

You can purchase this product on the Bobbi Brown website, Sephora, or at department stores (Nordstrom, etc.)  Retail Price: $42
