How To: Drew's Beach Waves celebrity hairstyles, hair products, how to, waves | (5)
Love it or hate it, I got a lot of requests for how to do Drew Barrymore's wavy beach hair! There are all kinds of ways to get this type of look, depending on your hair's texture, but a super easy way is to just add some mousse to towel-dried hair. Scrunch it up and twist random pieces as it dries. Whatever you do, don't brush or comb it. Another more effective (and more labor intensive process) adds in waves with a curling iron. Here's how to get the look! Start with clean, damp hair. Spray your roots with a volumizing/texturizing ...

Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo hair products, reviews | Comments Off on Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo
I remember reading a glow, gushing review of Philip B Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo in Lucky magazine this past summer and thinking: I MUST try this stuff. The Lucky reviewer says: "A true miracle! This shampoo makes my hair - which is wavy and long - perfectly wavy as if styled endlessly by a $700-an-hour stylist, then volumized and texturized as if worked on with numerous styling products (despite no stylist, no blow dryer, no styling products)... My friend - whose hair is straighter and shorter – gets body, volume, and shine. Yet another friend - whose long hair tends to ...

Maui Wowie hair products, reviews | Comments Off on Maui Wowie
Guess what I got this weekend? A product I have been dying to try... Philip B's New Maui Wowie Beach Mist. Just in time for summer in Southern California. ;) I've been trying to replace a beloved surf spray for five years--ever since it was discontinued. That was an incredibly sad day for me. I loved that product. It gave me perfect, just back from the beach waves--never mind that I lived in the middle of Wicker Park in Chicago at the time. Maui Wowie Beach Mist might finally be the replacement I've been searching for. It contains pure aloe vera extract ...

Little Indulgences budget, reviews, skin care | (2)
I am in love with my Philip B Lovin' Hand & Body Creme. Seriously. It's amazing. Every time I pull it out of my purse and apply it, if I'm in smelling distance of another human, they always say they same thing: omg, that smells SO GOOD. And I say, thanks! As if I had something to do with it. Lovin' Hand & Body Creme is a super deluxe hydrator, but it's not at all heavy and greasy, like other hand lotions I've used. It absorbs immediately after I apply it. And it smells wonderfully fresh and clean, but not in an overpowering ...

Philip B Rejuvenating Oil hair products, reviews | (3)
I'm a big fan of Jojoba oil. As soon as I get out of the shower, I slather it all over my skin and face. It keeps me moisturized, even in the desert. So when I heard about Philip B's Rejuvenating Oil my interest was piqued. Rejuvenating Oil is an intensive hair and scalp treatment that closely replicates the scalp’s own natural sebum. It's a special blend of plant-based extracts and oils replenishes moisture in hair, countering the drying effects of heat styling and chemical treatments. Infused with antioxidant rich, deeply hydrating olive, almond, walnut, peanut, sesame and jojoba oils, it ...

Rich Girl, Poor Girl hair products, reviews | (2)
In today's rocky economy, everyone is pinching pennies. But when do you scrimp and when do you splurge? For some, hair products are always worth splurging on. And for those of you with expensive (and exquisite) taste, Philip B is a perfect choice. Philip B's fantastic Shin Shine is a unique shine enhancing styling product. It protects hair with a humidity barrier while it gives your hair movement, form and texture. Shin Shine also gives you a silky sleek blow-out and keeps curly hair free of static and frizz. But at $24.99 for 1.85 oz. it is a little steep. For those of you ...

Philip B. is Delicious hair products | Comments Off on Philip B. is Delicious
My favorite girl Amber over at Beauty Junkies Unite is talking about Philip B. hair products. I've always wanted to try them. Here's what she says: “As Hollywood’s preeminent hair-treatment expert, Philip B. has garnered international praise for his visionary approach to hair, scalp and body-care treatments. His award-winning blends, all based on pure botanicals and essential oils at potent, unheard-of-in-the-industry concentrations, have dramatically changed the way the world perceives luxury care for hair and skin." Sounds good! And the shampoo names sound even better: Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo, White Truffle Moisturizing Shampoo, or Peppermint and Avocado Volumizing and Clarifying Shampoo. Yum.
