The Cream of the Gods

Oh.  My.  God.  Could I love a product any more than I do this one?  To answer my own question, no, IPbbw12237213v194 don’t think I could.  This cream is the perfect cure-all for hair issues.  Whether you’re battling the frizzies or just want your hair to be glossy like the chicks in the magazines, this amazing cream will deliver.  I am a fan of Frederic Fekkai products, so it’s no surprise that I instantly gravitated toward the Glossing Cream.  Made with pure olive oil, this cream is delightfully fresh smelling and is extremely moisturizing.  You only need a small bit and you’ll definitely see the difference in the look of your hair.  You can opt to smooth it on before blowdrying for added manageability or once your hair is dry to help smooth out the finished look.  Really.  Amazing.  But, be forewarned – much like straight up olive oil - too much of a good thing can be, well, too much.  If you go hog wild with the cream, you will look like you did back in eighth grade when you went crazy with the Dep gel (yes, yes, all greasy).  You will never be sticky, however, so no need to stress about that at least.  Check it out, I guarantee you won’t be sorry.  And Frederic Fekkai doesn’t even pay me to say all this!  Note to self:  call Frederic Fekkai and see if they can pay me to say nice stuff.  Oh, and other note to self:  Get phone number for Frederic Fekkai.

I love me some shea butter

You know how there’s a product that’s so outrageously expensive you can’t bring yourself to pay for it at the Sephora counter.  So then you go home, empty-handed, obsessing over the product.  What’s itP7698_lg doing right now?  Did someone else pick it up?  Is there some other lucky woman using “my” product right now?  Sigh.  It’s tough.  I went through this with my Frederic Fekkai Moisturizing Body Lotion with Shea Butter.  We had many meetings at Sephora before I finally realized I had to have her at home.   And what a happy relationship we have had.  I have to be honest, I use her sparingly to preserve our love for as long as I can.  This lotion is really amazing.  Hydrates like nothing I’ve ever used before and the scent… oh, the scent… it’s so beautiful.  It makes me feel like I’m in a spa, relaxing, drinking Chamomile tea.  And because I’m not even a fan of Chamomile tea, I’m not sure why it made the cut into my spa fantasy.  Regardless, this is a wonderful lotion.  Only small issue I have with her is that she tends to be a little sticky until she completely absorbs into the skin.  But, really, what’s the rush in the morning to get dressed to get to work.  Take those extra moments while your lotion sinks in to crawl back into bed for a few more minutes of snoozing.  Ahhh, blissful.
