"I tried this to see if I could help condition my hair somewhat as it's fine and colored, with dry ends and breakage near the roots above my forehead.

My Reviews on the Moroccan Argan Oil Haircare Line from Avon

I've never been the type of girl to splurge on hair care products. I always got a bottle of the cheapest shampoo and conditioner and figured it was doing its job. Never did I think that there could actually be more beneficial products out there nor had I noticed how damaged my hair truly was. 

When I become an AVON Representative at the start of this year, I slowly began switching all my beauty products over to AVON -- trying new things and realizing that I could save even more money with my discount! Some of my first switches were what I would call AVON stigma based, the makeup. I tried a few different foundations before finally finding my match with the Magix Face Perfector and the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. I got myself new body washes that I loved and that worked for me and then I took notice of the Advance Techniques Hair Care Products. I was quite intrigued as to finding out if these products would fix my severely dried-out hair and split ends. Could I find a more conditioning conditioner? 

AVON has a few different products to their hair care line up. I went through each one and learned what their purpose was (other than to clean hair, of course!) and which one I thought could benefit me the most. The first one that caught my eye was the 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil line. I'll be honest, I judged the product before I even read a description on it. I was drawn to it for the name and had a feeling that it would bring much health to my hair. When I began to read up on the products, I was so excited to give it a whirl. 

I purchased the Shampoo and Conditioner, which are regularly $6 each at youravon.com/ssandis They often go on sale though, so keep your eyes peeled for that! There is also a leave-in treatment to the 360 Nourish line -- but more on that, later in the post.  

As of this post, the Shampoo has a 4.6 out of 5 star rating w/ 68 online customer reviews and the Conditioner has a 4.2 out of 5 star rating w/ 50 online customer reviews.

The scent of these products I like to describe it as "professional". Its the scent I smell when I go into a hair salon and it's quite pleasant. It makes me feel like i'm getting pampered. (Which, I totally am!) Honest to blog (hehe), after the first use of the Shampoo and Conditioner, I noticed a HUGE difference in my hair! My hair was softer, the frizz was downsized noticeably, and there was a nice shine. The Conditioner is incredibly creamy and soothing to the scalp. I massage it in and I know its such a treat to my locks. 

These products were an instant hit with me and now it's all I want to use. My husband uses the products as well. One time when at the hair salon to get his haircut he received a compliment from his hair stylist. She said: "Your hair is so soft! What shampoo are you using?" He told her the name and that it was from AVON and she was surprised. "Oh, wow! I would have thought it was some really expensive brand!" Well, there ya go! These products will give you professional looking and feeling results without the heavy price tag. 

Now, i'd like to get back to the Advance Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil Leave-In Treatment. I just recently purchased a bottle for my husband since he wanted to try something to condition the manly beard he is working on growing. I figured with the Vitamin E and Vitamin B5, it could only help with the health and overall look of his hair. In the product description, I also found that the product would leave hair with: renewed strength, instant shine, smooth silkiness, and weightless movement. He was looking for something to soften and condition his beard so I thought... why not try this out. It could be something really beneficial for him, since we had already found the Shampoo and Conditioner to be such. 

The Leave-In Treatment is regularly priced at $10. It does go on sale, so again - check for that! Also, if it is not currently on sale at youravon.com/ssandis don't forget that you can go back two campaigns and get the absolute best deal possible. Need to know how to do that? CLICK HERE. 

As of this post, this product has a 4.7 out of 5 star rating with 86 online customer reviews.

My husband shared with me that he immediately liked the product. It is non-greasy, non-sticky, and he likes how it makes his facial hair feel. He also likes that all he has to do is pump the product into his palms and work it in. There is no rinsing and no real fuss to it! He has been using the product for a little over one month and his beard is looking pretty darn fabulous. Sorry, rugged and manly *insert wink face here*

I finally used the product myself, today, after my shower. My hair was damp which is recommended in the directions of use. The application is easy and I liked what seemed to be a coconut scent to the product. I then styled my hair as usual, blow drying it and then took the flat iron to it. Even with all of that heat styling, my hair is still silky and soft! I think i'm going to like this addition to my beauty routine and now I can say that i'm fully invested in the Advance Techniques 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil Hair Care Line!! **FYI The Leave-In Treatment bottle is glass - so, just be cautious that it doesn't break. I only mention this because I had assumed it would be a plastic bottle and almost had a mishap! 

I hope you will give it a try, i'm sure you'll love it as much as I do -- and if not, there's always AVON's Money Back Guarantee!

10 Household Items that Double as Beauty Helpers

On the blog today are household items that double as beauty helpers. I did some research online and found some of the ones that I might not actually mind trying. I learned a lot about these do-it-yourself beauty tips - and I hope you'll enjoy today's entry!

- Ice Cube Trays | Use an ice cube tray to custom blend your own lip colors or foundation using two or more shades. Simply rinse and pop it in the dishwasher afterwards.

- Rubber Bands | Wrap rubber bands around the cap of nail polish bottles and other hard-to-open tops for better grip.

- Refrigerator | Use your fridge to store eye cream, toners, and astringent. The cooling effect de-puffs eyes and skin.

- Coffee Filters | Ditch the pricey oil-blotting papers and use these instead—they work just as well.

- Band Aids | Use a classic Band-Aid to add some sweet polka dots to your manicure! (Most are perforated with tiny dots.)

- Tin Foil | Did you know that tin foil can be used to create curly hair when coupled with a flatiron? Lean how HERE

- Vaseline | Who knew dabbing a touch of Vaseline wherever you spray perfume makes your scent last longer. Why? Because the oils found in petroleum jelly “holds on” to scents and prevents evaporation.

- Toothpicks | Standard toothpicks are a foolproof way to spot-fix any nail polish mistakes. You can also use ’em to crate basic nail designs like shapes or letters.

- A Toothbrush | Spritzing hairspray on a toothbrush can help tame flyaways and style bangs as well as amping up your brow game.

- Dryer Sheets | Use these to effortlessly remove static from your hair (Bonus Tip: A damp used dryer sheet can remove soap and shampoo build-up in your tub, too!)

Which one(s) listed will you try to incorporate into your beauty routine? What are some other household items/DIY beauty uses that you know of that aren't listed here? Comment below!!
