Product Review: Luxe Beauty Essentials Large Microfiber Hair Towel #luxebeautyessentials


I had never really thought about the towel that I used to dry my hair when I get out of the shower until I tried the Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel. I love that towel! And now I have the opportunity to try the Luxe Beauty Essentials Large Microfiber Hair Towel
Before I tried a Microfiber Hair Towel, I had always just used one of our regular bath towels because I had always just assumed that all towels were pretty much the same. But I was wrong! This hair towel is so soft & so luxurious. It's the kind of product that I would expect to find in a fancy hotel or a spa. It's made from double-sided brushed terry microfiber & measures 23"x40".


My normal routine is to towel-dry my hair by blotting it with a regular bath towel. I don't rub it because I have fine hair & it tangles easily. After blotting, I comb my hair & then do other things like brushing my teeth & applying skincare products while I wait for my hair to start drying. I do this so that it doesn't take so long with the blow dryer.


Since I've been using this Microfiber Hair Towel, I just wrap the towel around my head & then brush my teeth. That's about all the time it takes for the towel to absorb the water from my hair. When I unwrap the towel, my hair feels just slightly damp & is ready for the blow dryer. Even after absorbing the water from my wet hair, the hair towel doesn't feel really wet, just a bit damp. So I hang it up to dry & go about my day. Using this hair towel has knocked 10 - 15 minutes off of my morning routine!

I love this soft, absorbent, luxurious hair towel! I like that it is big enough to wrap around my head & it stays in place, unlike a bulky bath towel. I like that it absorbs the water from my wet hair yet the towel doesn't feel wet or drip. I like that it is a quality product that works & I love that this towel will save my hair from damage now that I'm not blow drying it so long each morning.

If you don't think you need a hair towel, you do!! This is one of the best things I've ever done for my hair. You can purchase the Luxe Beauty Essentials Large Microfiber Towel on Amazon.

Pura D'or Argan Oil Premium Organic Shampoo & Conditioner #pure_dor


I love trying new skincare & hair care products. I was not familiar with Pura D'or products until I had the chance to review their Pura D'Or Argan Oil Premium Organic Shampoo & Conditioner. Both of these products come in large 16 ounce pump containers.

The Argan Oil Premium Organic Shampoo is the Hair Loss Prevention Therapy shampoo for thinning hair, receding hairline & excessive shedding. It is made with 12 Advance DHT blockers to stop premature hair loss. It is intended to add body, increase volume & thicken your hair. It is safe for all hair types, is color safe & can be used by both women & men.

According to the label, this is how it works: "It starts by nourishing hair follicles with essential nutrients to reverse any damage & begin the healing process. It then increases circulation to hair follicles to regulate DHT. Continued use will stop hair loss & stimulate healthy hair growth."

The shampoo is clear when I pump it into my palm. It has a wonderful earthy woody scent that I really like. It took about a week of using this before I could tell that it was working on my hair. It doesn't lather like all of those chemical-laden shampoos so it needed time to rid my hair of everything that I'd subjected it to. Now when I wash my hair, it just feels clean after I rinse out the shampoo.

The Argan Oil Premium Organic Conditioner is Lavender Vanilla. It is intended to enhance shine, manageability & control. It is derived from 99% coconut & vegetable proteins to hydrate, heal & repair damaged hair without adding weight or buildup. It is safe for daily use & all hair types.

The conditioner is white with a light silky feeling on my palm. The lavender vanilla scent is noticeable but not overpowering. It doesn't take a lot to cover my hair from root to tips. I always comb it through to make sure all of my hair is treated. After a couple of minutes, it rinses out clean & easy. My hair feels so much softer since I've been using it.

These argan oil hair care products will help repair the damage that you've caused to your hair by using drugstore products that are full of chemicals. These products are made with Certified Organic ingredients, contain no parabens, are cruelty-free and are Made in the U.S.A.

You can find these products on their website along with their full line of skincare products.

Arvazallia Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Review #advancedhairrepair


I abuse my hair by coloring it once a month, regularly using a blow dryer & occasionally using a flat iron. I use shampoos & conditioners that are formulated to try to repair the damage, but I can't really see that much of a difference. Then I was offered the chance to try Arvazallia Advanced Hair Repair Shampoo, Conditioner & Hydrating Argan Oil Mask.


First off, I love the packaging. The red & gold colors fit right in with the Autumn colors that we use in our home. The shampoo & conditioner come in tall, thin 10.56 ounce bottles with a flip top that is easy to open. The hair mask comes in a 8.45 ounce tub with a screw top. I'm kind of disappointed that these products are Made in China, but I'll get over it if they work!


I don't always wash my hair every day, but I never skip more a day in between washing. So I haven't used the shampoo & conditioner every day, but at least 4 times each week. The shampoo is clear & it doesn't take much for my fine, thin hair. Since the shampoo is free of sulfates & other chemicals, it doesn't lather like other shampoos that I've used in the past. At first I thought that it must not be getting my hair clean, but after using the shampoo for about 10 days I started to see the difference. That's when I figured out that it took that long to get rid of all of the chemical buildup & let me see my natural hair again.

The conditioner is white & feels silky smooth when I apply it to my hair after shampooing. The first thing that I noticed was that my hair was already tangle-free when I combed the conditioner through to the ends. I leave it on my hair for a few minutes & it rinses out cleanly & easily.


I use the hair mask once a week. After I wash my hair, I towel dry & then apply enough of this deep conditioner to cover my hair from the roots to the ends. I comb it through to make sure every hair is treated. After about 7 or 8 minutes, I rinse it out. It rinses out so easily & my hair feels so soft & smooth. It is really helping to repair the damage that I've caused over the years.

So. Here is what I think about the Shampoo, Conditioner & Argan Oil Mask from Arvazallia: I love the floral scent of these products. It lasts even after I dry my hair & I've gotten compliments on how nice my hair smells. I like that these products are specifically designed to repair & strengthen damaged & over-processed hair. I like that they are good for all hair types & can be used on color treated hair without stripping any of the color. And I like that it is an entire system, including the deep conditioning mask, so there is no mixing & matching of hair care products.

You can purchase these products on Amazon. Here are the links for the individual products or you can buy it all in a set.

Dessange Paris Oleo Miracle Replenishing Shampoo, Conditioner & Oil #JadoreDessange

I am so happy that I was chosen by Influenster to receive & review the #DessangeVoxBox! I couldn't wait for it to arrive because I was excited to try these replenishing products on my hair which I abuse by coloring it every month.


Finally! The box arrived & I opened it right up so that I could see the products that were going to make my hair thank me. I had already done a bit of research so I knew that these replenishing products contain three precious oils: argan, camellia & pracaxi. I'm familiar with Argan Oil, but I have never heard of the others.


All of the products were packaged inside of a ziplock bag just in case there was any spillage. We all know how the Post Office sometimes treats our packages....  But everything was intact so I opened the bag & took out the products.

The first thing that caught my eye was the packaging. I love the colors & it looks very expensive. From my research, I found out that the legendary French hairdresser, Jacques Dessange, opened his fist salon in Paris in 1954 & was favored by many French actresses. He eventually became the Official Hairdresser of the Cannes Film Festival! And I get to try products from Dessange right here in my own home!!


When I was ready to wash my hair, I gathered up all of the products & headed for the shower. The Oleo Miracle Replenishing Shampoo is a light golden color & feels silky soft in my palm. It lathers nicely & smells like perfume! But then, I wouldn't expect anything less from a French product! After I rinsed out the shampoo, I applied the Oleo Miracle Replenishing Conditioner. It is a white cream, but very light. I applied it to the entire length of my hair, especially the ends. After a couple of minutes, I rinsed it out. It rinsed out cleanly & left my hair feeling smooth. And it smells amazing! Next I wanted to go ahead & use the Oleo Miracle Replenishing Oil, which is a leave-in treatment, so that I could experience the whole system. I towel dried my hair & applied 2 dime-sized drops of the oil to my hair. I combed it through & let it air dry for a while before using my blow dryer.
My hair never looks like this! There are no frizzy or flyaway ends & it feels soft & smooth. I think I'm in love! Not only do these products work but they smell amazing! I just want to be sure that you realize that they smell great! I almost don't need to wear any perfume after I wash my hair because my hair smells so good.

So. I know you want to try these wonderful products. And guess what??!!? You can buy them at Target! I'm not lying. Check it out right here.

I want to say a great big Thank You to @Influenster and @DessangeParis for the chance to try these products. I'll definitely be going to Target to buy more once these bottles are empty.

Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel Review #LuxeBeautyEssentialsMicrofiberHairTowel

I've never really thought about the towel that I use to dry my hair when I get out of the shower. I just use one of our regular bath towels. So I was very interested to try the Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel from Beauty by Shea. I had always just assumed that all towels were pretty much the same. But I was wrong!

When this hair towel arrived, I unwrapped it & fell in love! It is so soft & so luxurious. It's the kind of product that I would expect to find in a fancy hotel or a spa. It's made from double-sided brushed terry microfiber & measures 19"x 39".

I couldn't wait to try this hair towel! My normal routine is to towel-dry my hair by blotting it with a regular bath towel. I don't rub it because I have fine hair & it tangles easily. After blotting, I comb my hair & then do other things like brushing my teeth & applying skincare products while I wait for my hair to start drying.

And I love that this towel will save my hair from damage now that I'm not blow drying it so long each morning.

So. Bottom line. If you don't think you need a hair towel, you do!! This is one of the best things I've ever done for my hair. I wish I had found this product a long time ago!
