Dry shampoo is something that I lack experience with, yet I have been asked on several occasions what the best dry shampoo is. So, I decided to run this article syndicated from Total Beauty on the best and worst dry shampoos.

If you are curious about a dry shampoo or want to find the top rated and lowest rated dry shampoos from Total Beauty readers, take a look.

The Best Leave In Hair Conditioners

September 7, 2010 By Carleenp 2 Comments

I am quite a fan of leave in conditioners. The best conditioners tend to detangle well, protect the hair from heat styling, and leave your hair feeling soft and looking smooth and silky. My personal favorite is Schwarzkoph Bonacure Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner (link is to previous review). I use that one regularly and have repurchased it on multiple occasions.

The article below is syndicated from Total Beauty and lists a number of he top leave in conditioners. Included are a couple of other favorites of mine from the Redken Smooth Down line (link is to previous review) and the always wonderfully affordable Aussie line of products.

Below is Total Beauty’s list. Click through the links to see the entire article.

The Worst Drugstore Makeup

July 30, 2010 By Carleenp 1 Comment

I have been working for awhile on a series about the best drugstore makeup. So far, I have written on the Best Drugstore Eye Shadow and Best Drugstore Blush. In the works are features on lip products, foundation, powder, overall brand etc. Also popular has been the syndicated posts on the Best Drugstore Mascara and Best Affordable Foundation. So, I found it interesting to see this Total Beauty feature on the the worst drugstore makeup.

I haven't tried everything on the list, but I sort of agree with Maybelline Lash Stiletto. It gives an odd look, although some folks love it, and I didn’t necessarily hate it. The same with Revlon Lip Sugar. I actually kind of liked that one, but it did feel weird.

One I kind of disagree wit is Sally Hansen Lip Inflation. I am OK with that product. It isn’t the best plumper out there, but I didn’t find it to be sticky the way some total Beauty Readers did.

And what I totally agree with is the NYC gloss. That one is indeed a sticky mess!
