Beauty Review Dessange Shampoo #JAdoreDessange #InfluensterVox #Beauty #Dessange

Over the years, it's been our pleasure to be part of Influenster. They've sent us numerous Vox Boxes of fun products to review. This time, we got to review Dessange Shampoo, Conditioner and Color Correcting Cream for blonde hair. This fabulous French brand is new to the US, but they've been a European favorite for years.

I'm a natural blonde, but decided to go over to the "dark side" for a few years with a blueblack dye. So the past year I've had to bleach my hair repeatedly to strip out the black, then re dye it as close to my medium blonde natural color as I could find. Dessange helped my hair shine, and look amazing, on the parts that were damaged by the treatments AND my own natural color that's grown in.

The color correcting worked fast and well to eliminate any harsh or brassy look.

Product description

DESSANGE Paris introduces the California Blonde collection, a nourishing hair care system designed to moisturize and protect color treated blonde hair. Blonde is a fragile shade that can lose its luster, fade, and weaken with time, so it is important to protect your shade as soon as you color. The special formula, enriched with passion flower extract, delivers infallible shine and luminosity for a radiant blonde color.

A weekly in-shower treatment formulated with Linseed oil and blue pigments to neutralize brassiness and nourish the hair.

You can see the shine from this "illuminating" shampoo and conditioner. They smell luxurious, too.

No DEET No Skeetos With Guardian Wilderness 8hr #WeBeatDEET #EcoFriendly #GreenLiving

I'm all about keeping my kids Deet free and Guardian limits the bites without toxic chemicals. Parenting is full of tough choices. Hmmm. Poison or Pests?! DEET or skeets?! How about neither!! Here at ChiIL Mama we LOVE to ChiIL out outdoors, go fall camping, & hit the archery range.  Guardian Repellent Wilderness 8 hour DEET free works GREAT. I'm stoked to know it's out there.  Disclosure: Thanks to Influenster Guardian VoxBox for our complimentary sample for review purposes. As always, all opinions are our own. Joy! I keep my kids far away from DEET but we love to spend time enjoying the great outdoors with our big dogs, and it sucks to get swarmed by blood sucking mosquitos & ticks and come home itchy and covered in bites. Guardian's got your back! This product works great. Highly recommend it. Thanks to Influenster and VoxBox for sending a complimentary sample our way to review. So stoked to know there's a non toxic solution to the bug battle that really works. Disclosure: Once again thanks to Influenster Guardian VoxBox for our complimentary sample for review purposes. As always, all opinions are our own.

Jolly Good Times With The Jolly Vox Box from Influenster #JollyVoxBox #Influenster #ad

We've been ChiILin' out here at ChiIL Mama with all the rockin' complimentary product samples from Influenster in our Jolly Vox Box. We've made YouTube & Vine vids, shot stills & done reviews.  In case you're not familiar with them, Influenster sends out fun boxes full of free samples to review.  Our first one was the #MamaVoxBox a few months ago.   VoxBox roxs.   Can't wait for our next one.

Sure, it's been -50 wind chill in Chi, IL but that's no reason to hibernate.   I've had Broadway shows to review, press openings, and VIP events, so ChiIL Mama's been rockin' the turtle fur & a fuzzy wolf hat for warmth and keeping things hot with @RimmelLondonUS / #ShowOffLipLacquer and

The #JollyVoxBox was too much fun and included:

I'll admit, I'm a bit infatuated with Duck Tape.   Nope, not duct tape.   We're waaaaay beyond that staple of plumbers and pervs now.   Duck tape has gone mainstream and marvelous with a crazy array of fun colors and patterns.

When Influenster sent us a cute Mini Duckling ring of tape, my 10 year old daughter "the arteeest" got busy making a full blown wallet, a mini shoulder purse and a pocket pouch with the free colored splat sample and a host of other patterns we already had.   Prior to that she personalized her unicycle with some rockin' Duck Tape patterns.   Why be boring?!

We were also stoked for the Puffs purse pack.  They're our tissue of choice for winter colds & year round allergies.

We've adored Skinny Cow Ice Cream for years.  But this tasty treat won't melt on the go.   The bovine has gone divine and these filled chocolates live up to their name.   I had to wrestle them out of the tweens' hands.   They're that good.

Here's some of our past coverage for Annie's Mac & Cheese and our #MamaVoxBox.

After we featured Annie's our #MamaVoxBox feature they sent us a fun reusable bag and a bunch more samples!   Thanks Annie's & Influenster.   YOU rock!
