If you’re like me, you love trying the latest products to hit the market. Here is a sampling of the products I’ve been trying on myself, on guests in the salon and on photo shoot sets as well. Enjoy!

YSL Babydolls Mascara
Retails $32
Again, expensive, Yes! –but definitely worth it! The name and packaging are enough for me.
Plus, it really is phenomenal mascara.

Tom Ford Lipstick
Retail $52
Ridiculously expensive but worth it! Amazing texture, beautiful colors and stunning packaging.

Olaplex Retails Vary
This new product is an additive your stylist adds to color or lightener. It reforms bonds your hair normally brakes during the color process. Trust me when I say, it is AMAZING!!! I could write an entire article on this stuff alone.
