Matrix Biolage SmoothProof Giveaway {CLOSED}

Posted on August 25, 2014November 15, 2015 by Elaine

So we’re in the last week of August…I know…so sad 🙁 Hopefully you took full advantage of the sunny days we did have. A sacrifice well worth it is perhaps dry and unruly hair due to sun, swimming and breezy days. To help ease you into September I thought that treating your locks to the Matrix Biolage SmoothProof line would brighten your day.

Am I right?

Getting right to the point, here’s what you can win 😉

matrix-bioloage-giveaway-smoothproof

I love the SmoothProof shampoo. My hair can get frizzy really easily and I count on this shampoo to control my hair along with the conditioner. The conditioner is nice and creamy and really helps with the tangles. I find when it’s windy or I’m outdoors a lot my hair can become really knotted and this conditioner helps prevent further damage to my hair. As soon as I get out of the shower I like to use the SmoothProof Leave-in Cream. If you have fine hair use just a tiny bit or it could way your hair down too much. I like to use this and follow up with a styling product.  The last step of the routine is to apply the SmoothProof serum. It protects the hair from heat styling tools and helps promote a nice healthy shine.

So, let’s get your hair back into shape for the Fall (sorry for the f-word 😉  )

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍

Have you tried anything from @kjh.brand yet?

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊
