Frederic Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse: yay or nay?

Filed under: Hair Care, Product Reviews

I'm not the biggest beauty junkie, but I do like trying out products when all the magazines are touting them as the next miracle creation. Most of the time, I'm less than impressed, but when I do find a new addition to my makeup bag or medicine cabinet, it's so worth it. (I will never regret the $17 I spent on my Shu Uemura eyelash curler.)

So I decided to give Frederic Fekkai's Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse ($28) a whirl after reading about it seemingly everywhere this month. The silicone-based treatment promises it "binds shine, recharges color, and adds silkiness to the hair." Kind of like a DIY glossing treatment--which was just what my blonde highlights needed after a long summer.

Introducing the Beautiful Vending Styler

Filed under: Hair Care

And sometimes technology doesn't win.

The Beautiful Vending Styler is the latest beauty must-have taking over the UK. What could be more popular than Soap & Glory you ask? A vending machine that comes equipped with "award winning GHD irons."

I'm assuming it works like any other vending machine wherein you put some coinage inside to get your desired product -- except I doubt your bag of Fritos has as many germs on it as these community flat irons do. (Ew, I feel gross just typing that.)

Although the high temperatures of the plates keep the flat irons sterile, the handles don't have a similar type of protection. And considering the fact that people don't even like to touch the door handles in bathrooms, I just can't fathom why thousands of women in the UK are all willing to share the same hair straightner.

I mean, you wouldn't share your hair brush with that many people, right?
