The Body Shop Nutralift Firming Serum

The Body Shop's Nutralift Firming Serum is a new line of products designed to firm and plump the skin. This serum is rather strongly scented, a sort of sweet, fruity scent. Infused with Pomegranate and Honey, this serum seems to hydrate my skin and give it a bit of plumping. It is similar to Garnier skin care products (L'Oreal owns The Body Shop and Garnier.) I found this serum is a bit heavier than some of the others manufactured by The Body Shop, and it can "ball up." This seems like a great choice for a fan of The Body Shop who is looking for products mean to firm and moisturize.

A one ounce bottle is available at The Body Shop boutiques and from their website for $36.00.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Creatine, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Caffeine, Dimethicone, Honey, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Pentylene Glycol, Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil, Secale Cereale (Rye) Seed Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Xanthan Gum, Methylparaben, Fragrance, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Wheat Germ Oil/Palm Oil Aminopropanediol Esters, Avena Strigosa Seed Extract, Lecithin, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Adenosine, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Limonene, Potassium Sorbate, Geraniol, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Ursolic Acid.

Mastey de Paris Moisturee Conditioner

Mastey manufactures some of my favorite hair and skin care products. Silicone, oil, and sulfate free, Mastey designs products designed to work. Their products add moisture to hair and skin without covering them up with heavy silicones and waxes.

Mastey de Paris Moisturee is a hair conditioner designed to add moisture to dry hair. The light, creamy texture melts into the hair giving it a moisture boost. With a light, fresh scent, Moisturee leaves my hair feeling better moisturized, stronger, and smoother. Using Moisturee after Mastey de Paris Traite Shampoo and before Mastey de Paris Frehair Daily Conditioner is ideal when my hair feels dry or rough after being colored.

Mastey products continue to be innovative and luxurious making them my favorite.

An 8 ounce bottle is available from the Mastey website and finer salons for $17.00.

Nutriganics is a newer line of products from The Body Shop. Nutriganics Smoothing Serum is a light, naturally scented product. It contains numerous natural ingredients meant to moisturize and protect the skin. This serum has a light texture but feels a bit heavy on the skin. The scent is similar to Origins products which is manufactured by Estee Lauder. This serum makes my skin feel soft, however, it doesn't seem to absorb as easily as some of the other serums available. This serum might be a good choice for someone who wants moisture from a more natural product.
