As you know by now, I am an Herbatint Permanent Hair Color convert. I love this Italian haircare brand so much, and I don't ever see using another brand again. I was delighted to discover them on sale on Amazon, and promptly bought 4 boxes, and will probably go back for more. Here is my review, if you want to know more about their permanent hair color. 
 

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer is Perfection for the Warm Weather

 

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

A longtime Lola's Secret Beauty Blog reader, since 2011 actually, emailed me the other day to see what warm-weather moisturizer I have been reaching for this season. Here in Southern California, we have been experiencing record-breaking triple-digit temperatures, and I have therefore been forced to reach for lighter skincare products to accommodate the heat. There is currently one moisturizer that I have been reaching for more than any other, and after having used this gem for more than 2 years, I can safely state that this Peter Thomas Roth moisturizer is worth its weight in gold for my normal to normal/combination skin. I don't have a terribly active t-zone, but sometimes my skin certainly isn't dry.

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer is an obsession and covet-worthy hydrating moisturizer that has an incredible texture. This mid-weight gel cream has a fluffy cloud-like texture that melts into the skin leaving it silky-smooth, hydrated and luminous. The Hyaluronic Acid-rich formula offers deep ad sustained hydration while it plumps fine lines. It is fragrance-free, and therefore should present no problem for people who are sensitive to scented skincare products. This is such a glorious moisturizer that is formulated for all types of skin, and it can be used on the face, neck and décolleté twice a day. It can be used all year long, and plays well with my makeup and other skincare products. I cannot attest to the claim that this cream offers 72 hour hydration since I did not discontinue using skincare products for 72 hours to affirm or refute this claim, but I will say that the hydration lasts all day when I use this cream.

According to Peter Thomas Roth,

Drench your skin with a liquid cloud of fluffy-light moisture that feels soft and weightless like clouds in the atmosphere. Concentrated 30% Hyaluronic Acid Complex cream has three molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid, a potent hydrator that draws in water. Helps plump the look of skin with moisture. Pentavitin® helps provide hydration for up to 72 hours—even after cleansing.* ProHyal+® helps improve hydration for healthier, smoother-looking skin. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is visibly reduced, leaving a silky, hydrated and more youthful-looking complexion. Dries light as a cloud and feels weightless on the skin. Fragrance-free.

*In a 28-day study applying a 1% Pentavitin® formulation, skin remained hydrated for 72 hours.

Directions: Apply fluffy-light cream twice daily to face and neck with continued use.

Overall Assessment: This is such a lovely cream. I love the texture, the way it makes my skin look and feel, and I am ultra impressed by the way in which it deeply hydrates my skin. It is perfect for the warm weather, and my skin feels perfectly quenched when I use it.

PlaneAire EVOO Skin Italian Lemon Lotion Hand Sanitizer Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

PlaneAire EVOO Skin Italian Lemon Lotion Hand Sanitizer With Extra Virgin Olive Oil is truly a stunning revelation in hand sanitizers. Having gone through lots of drying hand sanitizers since the pandemic, I can state, without hesitation, that I have had dry and cracked hands on many occasions after repeated use. Therefore, it is with such great excitement that I discovered this nourishing and hydrating hand sanitizer that is made with extra virgin olive oil to nourish and hydrate the skin, and the delectable scent of Italian Lemons. It leaves my hands sanitized while keeping them soft, smooth, supple, hydrated and delightfully fragrant. This product is cruelty-free and vegan.

According to PlaneAire,

EVOO was created to rethink what hand sanitizer could be—effective, but also deeply considerate of skin. Olive oil has been used for centuries to nourish and protect skin—not as folklore, but because its lipid structure closely mirrors the skin’s own. rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps support the skin barrier while delivering lasting comfort.

Directions: Apply a small amount to hands and rub until absorbed. Designed for frequent daily use—whether you’re cleansing, conditioning, or both.

Overall Assessment: I love this hand sanitizer, and am thrilled that it doesn't dry out and traumatize my skin! The lemon scent is utterly delectable, and I actually look forward to using this brilliant hand sanitizer.

Native Body Wash in Cucumber & Mint Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I know, I know, I have really been showing mad-love for Native Body Washes lately, and I realize that I have been waxing poetic about the three that I have tried, but my love for those three has been eclipsed by Native Body Wash in Cucumber & Mint. 

This is the most refreshing body wash, and the scent is uplifting and invigorating. While the fragrance is described as cucumber and mint, I detect mostly cucumber, but I absolutely love the aroma. It is gentle, and it never strips or dries out my skin.

Features According to Native,

• All-day clean. An award-winning body wash for gentle 24-hour freshness.
• No unwanted ingredients. 
• Free of sulfates, parabens, pthalates, and dyes.
• Kind to skin. Thoughtfully formulated with clean ingredients.
• Cruelty free and vegan. Never tested on animals and no animal-derived ingredients.

Overall Assessment: I am so thrilled by this body wash, and will definitely purchase the 36 oz. size next time as well. I prefer the economy size and the pump dispenser makes it much more user friendly. A+

$11.89 for 11.5 oz and $19.49 for 36 oz. from Target, CVS, Amazon and Walmart (Affiliate Links). Purchased. All views expressed are categorically my own.

Tweezerman Wide Grip Slant Tweezer Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I was recently out-of-town for a few days and went into my travel bag only to find that I had forgotten my tweezers, mirror and a few other travel essentials at home (which is very unlike me). Knowing that I was going to be gone for several days, I knew that I would need to clean up my eyebrows– therefore, I headed to the store to get some tweezers and some other essentials. As soon as I saw the Tweezerman Wide Grip Slant Tweezer, I decided to make the purchase, rather than buy what I already had at home. I am so glad that I bought these instead, because I reach for them more than any of my other tweezers. I love the wide grip and the textured center, and these tweezers catch every last hair, no matter how fine.

According to Tweezerman,

A Slant Tweezer that is designed for extra comfort featuring a textured no-slip grip that allows for perfect control when shaping and defining brows with precision. Crafted with hand-filed tips are perfectly aligned to effortlessly grasp every hair.

Features:

• Ergonomic tweezer body design is wider for added stability.​​
• Textured design provides no-slip grip during use.​
• Professional quality, 25° slant tip is the perfect angle for working against the brow bone.​​
• Perfectly aligned, hand-filed tips close evenly and firmly to remove hair from the root.​​
• Superior calibrated tension for comfort, control, and true precision.​
• Vegan, cruelty free, recommended for salons, eligible for sharpening services.

Regular price

Overall Assessment: I am so happy with my purchase, and really prefer these tweezers to all of my others. Had I not forgotten mine at home, I probably would never have discovered these! A+++

$22.00-$24.99 from CVS, Target and Walmart (Affiliate Links). Purchased. All views expressed are categorically my own.
