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.

DESSANGE Paris California Blonde Brass Color Correcting Creme
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.

Check it out for yourself! I'm glad I did.

#bareselfie

Before you get too excited... or horrified... by bare, we're talkin' bare face and arms people.   As in, without makeup.   

If you stumbled here by accident by searching out #bareselfie ... BUSTED.   I'm not an indiscreet high school girl or a film star.   I'm a middle aged mom.  

Now for the rest of you...

Disclosure:   Thanks to Lancome and SheSpeaksUp for providing me with a complimentary sample to review.   As always, all opinions are my own.

Makeup free me... #bareselfie.



I go au naturale most of the time, unless I'm going to a fancy premier or I know my mug will end up on TV.   I don't want to hide under a bunch of makeup.   So I've been a little bummed out to see growing age spots multiplying like mega freckles and splotchy sun tan patches now that I'm 46.   And boy do they show up on my pale skin!   

I've been trying out a complimentary sample of Lancome's NEW DreamTone Customized Skin Tone Correcting Serum 2x a day and today I'm reporting back to you on my results.   My skin is glowing, more even, and my dark spots have noticeably faded.   And extra bonus, it smells great too!


BUY IT & TRY IT YOURSELF:  Lancôme DreamTone is $98 for a 1.3 fl oz. bottle at department stores or Lancôme.com. 

Before and After Arm Shots:
Apologies, the lighting is a bit different.   My husband wasn't around to shoot the second one, so I had to do an arm selfie, too.   There is a marked visible difference in person, though.





I was elated to be chosen to review Lancome's new DreamTone Customized Skin Tone Correcting Serum and be part of their #bareselfie movement.

I have 2 kids under 13 and still get out to cover rock shows, music fests, theatre and more, so most people think I'm younger than 46.   But the pigment in my arms and face has been changing, and telling a different tale.   Here are my before shots.   I'll be trying out a complimentary sample of Lancome's NEW DreamTone Customized Skin Tone Correcting Serum 2x a day and reporting back to you on my results on the 24th.
