ThermaFuse HeatSmart Serum Review


ThermaFuse products are formulated to protect and repair heat-styled hair by utilizing their registered technology HeatSmart Complex.  This combines a silicone molecule with a wheat protein molecule that penetrates to smooth frazzled cuticles while adding a shine.  This HeatSmart Complex works three times better at an elevated temperature which is what occurs when you blow dry and use hot irons/curling irons on your hair.  The Ceramide-2 and Ceramide-6 helps to replace the hair's natural glue that is often destroyed by the heat.

ThermaFuse HeatSmart Serum is a leave-in treatment, styler and finisher that will instantly absorb, provides a light soft non-greasy feel while delivering a smooth shine.  It is for all types of hair with a proprietary blend of three certified organic oils:  Argan, Acai and Flaxseed. 

I found it's really a light weight formula that did not weigh my hair down nor give it that greasy look that some other anti-frizz or shine products do.  It's alcohol free so it won't dry it out either and the oils really do make your hair shiny, frizz free and soft.  I applied it to damp hair and it was much easier to comb through as I have major tangle issues having curly hair.  I like ThermaFuse HeatSmart Serum because it has certified organic botanicals and white tea extract and no artificial coloring. 

The aroma was a mild vanilla musk with a touch of blackberry and rasberry.  It was very pleasant.  I really did like this product and will continue to use it as it's kept my hair frizz free even on rainy days.  I love that it didn't weigh it down or give a greasy look and feel.

It sells as a 2 ounce bottle retail at $19 or 6.8 ounce professional.

Caught The Sample Site Sale Craze?


If you haven't discovered the numerous sample sites yet, you should.  The sample sites are great ways to find bargains on name brand items and in all cases that I have seen, a considerable better price.  Before I purchase anything from one of the top sampe sites such as HauteLook or Rue La La, I always price check and they are in fact marked down as they claim in the latest sale.  I just received a Tommy Bahama shirt I purchased for $30 somthing that was normally priced at $120.  I also received a box full of high end, delicious chocolates at a fraction of the cost as well. 

eBay has jumped on board the sample site express and it's called the Fashion Vault.  You can sign up for the special alerts on new sales which is what I just did.

The Skinny is another newer site but this one is dedicated to offering top-shelf skin care products at exclusive prices.  Upcoming events include Bare Escentuals, Dermaquest and Perricone MD.

I love the clothes at AdorableBabyClothing.com and above our the Christmas dresses I just bought as well as the matching headbands.  They are high quality and look great on the girls.  Other than the excellent customer service I enjoy with AdorableBabyClothing.com, the high quality of clothes and the selection, I can easily pick two dresses of such varying sizes easily.  I remember going to Dillard's last year trying to find two of the same dresses in different sizes and it was impossible.  It took a long time as I when I found one, the other size wasn't available.

There are many choices to choose from at AdorableBabyClothing.com ranging from newborn to the bigger kids.  The selection of formal wear is also wonderful.
