Girly Girl Product: Relastin, Ultra Emollient, Zinc Firming Complex
Multitasking Product Solves the Anti-Aging Equation.
Girly Girl Product Highlights: The first product that clinically demonstrates an increase in elastin, now paired with powerful age defying vitamens and extracts. Pantent pending Zinc Firming Complex significantly improves elasticity—even in the delicate eye area. Fewer fine lines and Wrinkles. Smoother texture. Dark circles diminished. Firmer skin.
Girly Girl Retail Price: $99.00 www.relastin.com
Chief Blonde’s Remarks: Loved the fact that is was fragrance free and an ultra smooth texture. Skin felt refreshed. Loved the fact that it was formulated for neck and chest use as well. We women over 45 can always use help in those areas!
A Curl’s Best Friend—2009 Editor’s Choice Award
Girly Girl Product: White Sands Liquid Texture Soft Hold Styling Spray, White Sands Curl Up in Silk Texture Defining Mousse
Style Defines Individuality; Your Style is Your Signature.
Girly Girl Product Highlights: Liquid Texture Soft Hold (Hair Spray) has multiple uses and traits. This product was designed for scrunching the hair and for perfect moisture balance, which allows the curl to stay in all day with no product feel. Curl Up in Silk Medium Hold Mousse allows you to create and define texture, dimension, waves, and volume. The curl has a rope-like affect, causing hair to group together and turn over each other. Use for round brush styling and scrunching.
Girly Girl Retail Price: Liquid Texture Soft Hold spray–$19.50 Curl up in Silk Medium Hold Mousse–$19.50 Both Products by White Sands www.whitesandsproducts.com
Chief Blonde’s Remarks: These two White Sands products WIN the 2009 Editor’s Choice Award for Still Blonde after all these Years, products for women over 45. Everything that the company claims the products do, they do! No overwhelming smelly fragrance either. I used these products before a big party, did my hair myself in loose curls and got several compliments. They have a great website with exciting pictures. They sent some great Whitney Houston (an over 45 year old woman!) looks styled by Tiffanie Dixon which were posted in our November Hairstyles blog post—Click here!

Each skin category within the line has been carefully considered, resulting in the pairing of essential oils and natural fragrances.
Girly Girl Retail Price: $4.95—14.95 www.savonlafalaise.com
Chief Blogger’s Remarks: When you observe the quality of this line, you are amazed that the price is so low! We received a wide array from the companies Organic Argan line to review. Argan oil restores the skin and boasts age-defying effects. Only a limited number of companies in the US carry Argan oil products, while the Europeans have been reaping the benefits for several years. Argan is often referred to as “liquid gold”. Maybe so, as that is what you skin feels like after using the bath salts, liquid soaps and lotions!
Foam..Rinse…Glow!
There’s SILVER in the Soap?
Cor facial line’s patented delivery system allows its active ingredients to get to the core of the most problematic skin issues. The starting point of Cor’s skincare line is that all of our products contain the patented formula of nano-silver with silica and all of our ingredients are derived from natural sources. Silver is fast emerging as one of the best natural anti-bacterial agents. Silver blocks the bacteria’s ability to transfer oxygen through its cell walls. Silver also has healing properites and has been used by doctors and in hospitals to speed cell repair. The cumulative effects of Cor’s cocktail of ingredients works uniquely for each individual resulting in a natural, dewy-fresh glow of youth.
Girly Girl Retail Price: $125—120mg bar (last 6 months). Try a sample for $14. www.corsliver.com
Chief Blonde Remarks: Wonderful. Foamy. Refreshing. Lots of money for a bar of soap but we girly girls deserve the Tiffany of Soaps don’t we? Maybe it’s time to think outside of the Blue Bag?
