John Frieda Luxurious Volume –Fight flat hair in the shower with the reformulated Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo and Conditioner—the duo creates the perfect foundation for full, natural looking and feeling volume. Trade in your arsenal of volume boosters for John Frieda’s breakthrough Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray, developed to deliver a salon-quality blowout at home.
John Frieda has been an absolute must on my list of hair care products since I can remember. I really liked their whole Brunette line and the frizz ease products. They came out with the new colour care line which included Brunette, Blonde, and Red.. I was fortunate enough to get to try the Brunette Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner for my recently dyed Cherry Black hair! I LOVED it!
Now I am about to show you their new line of Luxurious Volume Hair Care products! This includes:
John Frieda TOUCHABLY FULL SHAMPOO
John Frieda Touchably Full Conditioner
John Frieda Fine to Full Blow Out Spray
This shampoo and conditioner duo really does live up to it’s name “Luxurious Volume”. It doesn’t strip the hair of it’s natural oils, and make it frizzy and dry It out. Most volumizing shampoos (even with the conditioner) dry the hair out in time. With the John Frieda Volumizing Line my hair comes out silky smooth, easy to manage, shiny AND full of volume.
The shampoo and conditioner both smell absolutely incredible. I can’t put an EXACT scent on the smell, but if I had to guess- I think it smells like freshly bloomed Tiger Lillie's which I find irresistible. The Spray smells exactly the same.
I love that the scent doesn’t leave ALL day. I can wash my hair the night before, get up and it still SMELLS incredible. Even after I get out of the tanning bed my hair STILL smells like it was just washed. Later on that day before I take a shower the scent is still lingering! ♥
The Shampoo lathers AMAZINGLY. I only had to use a very small amount to wash my entire hair (about a nickel size). This amazed me because even though my hair isn’t thick, it’s very long. If you think it isn’t sudsy enough, put a little more water on your head—that’s all it needs. I can see this bottle lasting longer than a month which is new to me and my long strands!
If you use too much, it’s a waste and ANY shampoo will begin to leave product residue behind if you use too much. Make sure your only using the amount you need for your hair. AND like I said before—add a tad but more water if you think it isn’t going to get your entire head! Rub it in and wa-lah beautiful, amazing, healthy feeling locks!
The conditioner feels like liquid silk. I don’t use very much conditioner in my hair at all AND I never condition the roots. My hair is naturally oily, so I conditioner from about 1/2 away from my scalp to the ends of my hair.
My hair has always been on the “finer” side, although it’s gotten a little thicker as I got layers (or so it seems). The layers weren’t really SHOWING like I wanted them to though. I wanted something that could put the oomph in my hair so the layers could be seen.
The best results I’ve gotten is when I use them together AND follow with the Blow Out Spray. My hair was definitely thicker and had more body to it. It was soft after just the SHAMPOO- but the conditioner really adds the silkiness and vibrancy to it.
I can even use a flat iron on it and it still looks amazing! Many companies make promises, but I needed one that would actually deliver on that promise and John Frieda always does.
I love that I can wash my hair at night, and I don’t wake up with a ton of gunk or oil in my hair. It looks freshly washed, all I have to do is flat iron it and be on my way!
This doesn’t just give you volume, but it gives you BODY from the root all the way to the ends. I don’t have to use a root lifter when I use these which I LOVE!
I just spray the Fine to Full Blow Out Spray onto my hair and blow dry my hair upside down. I love that this is a pump action bottle. I try to stay away from the aerosol sprays because they smell more like alcohol (like hairspray does).. this smells fresh and invigorating just like the shampoo and conditioner.
I do use a thermal protectant in conjunction with this. I love that it doesn’t weigh the hair down while giving it volume though. You can also double this with a styling cream so that if you want you can curl or flat iron your hair after you blow-dry it!
To make them EVEN better, all three feel like they are actually nourishing and moisturizing my hair as well. It looks and feels so healthy and strong. The shine stays all day without becoming oily. This is a plus for someone who has naturally oily hair!
Needless to say, compliments have been rolling my way since beginning to use these three products!
HANDS down A+++ for these! I can NOT live without them now!

Supergoop is a brand that is solely focused on sun care. They make a variety of items that ALL have SPF in them. They have sunscreen wipes, giant pump action bottles of Sunscreen that will last all summer, even sunless tanners!
I am excited to say that I have gotten a chance to review their new CC Cream and an AMAZING lip balm that both have SPF inside!
The CC Cream
Supergoop has a new Daily Correct CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 which is available in two shades; Light to Medium and Medium to Dark. This is amazing because it promises to soften the look of lines, wrinkles and pores.
A multivitamin for your skin, this light and silky cream protects, corrects, smoothes, and nourishes with specially formulated health properties.
I’ve heard a LOT about the CC Creams, but haven’t had the chance to try one out yet. SO I was super SUPER excited to be able to see first hand what this bad boy could do!
I don’t really like wearing makeup (cream foundation or anything creamy) that much during the summer. It’s because my skin automatically gets SUPER dark and most foundations make me look like a ghost AND they tend to melt/sweat off.
IF it doesn’t sweat off, it clumps or balls up- which I DO NOT like. So, if I don’t wear mineral makeup, I don’t wear anything. UNTIL now. I’ve been testing this out for awhile and LOVE it!
I love how silky this CC Cream is, and how well it blends into my skin. It acts as a primer, concealer, and foundation all in one! It leaves my face feeling fresh and perfectly flawless.
I love that it blends so well with my complexion. I don’t like noticing that there is a weird lightness to my skin after I’ve applied a foundation or cream. This doesn’t do that though.
It works amazingly at protecting, correcting and smoothing uneven skin. It’s a giant plus that is has SPF in it, SPF 35 to be exact. Amazing anti-aging benefits and super antioxidants to help fight free-radical, wrinkle-forming damage.
The staying power is a big A+ for me. I don’t like having to take time out of my day to reapply because I’m always on the go with the kids, errands, and such. I can put this on at 8-9 and it will still be there around 3-4 which was amazing to me! I didn’t have to reapply even ONCE!
I love the SPF 35 because I’ve been using a skin care at night that makes my face sensitive to sunlight. I wash it off in the morning, but there’s still a chance it could make my skin burn just by being outside because it has Retinol A in it. This keeps me satisfied knowing that I’m covered from the burns!
Neutralizes discolorations, inflammation, blotchiness while restoring vibrancy and glow which I love. This IS a CC cream, so you aren’t going to get the SAME coverage as a Foundation, but you could certainly apply a thin layer over it if you wanted. I love how it works like a Concealer/foundation/primer all in 1!
100% natural ingredients and antioxidants to triple protect against UVA, UVB and infrared-A rays. Light-diffusing mica minerals soften the appearance of pores and wrinkles for a fresh, flawless complexion!
NO parabens, fragrances, petrochemicals or oxybenzone to provide an environment- and skin-compatible choice for UV protection. I’m glad that I found something that I can actually wear in the summer without it balling up or sweating off. It doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing anything when I put this on!
Want to give it a try?
Buy IT: You can buy the Supergoop SPF 35 CC Cream in Medium/Dark and Light/Medium for $32 for 1.6 oz
The Lip Balm
I had been on the lookout for something like this. EVERY single time I get in the tanning bed my lips dry out. No amount of chapstick was helping break the dryness cycle, and it was because my lips were dehydrated and burning I guess.
The shea butter in this lip balm provides deep, long-lasting hydration. I can put this on my lips before getting in the tanning bed and my lips still feel SO soft and hydrated when I get out.
It protects against broad-spectrum UVA and UVB rays while calming, soothing and protecting dry or chapped lips. It feels more like a lip gloss to me than a chapstick which I love.
I can easily apply this over my lipstick or wear it by itself and it looks amazing! I love the fact that even though it wears like a lip gloss, it isn’t sticky! It goes on very smoothly and has lasting power.
It says that there’s a pink tint to it, but it’s more of a sheer pink than anything. It makes my lips look so healthy! It doesn’t have a taste and it doesn’t smell, which is a plus. If this tasted like Acai berry, I’d probably lick it off LOL.

Now that summer is here, it IS time to pull out all those super cute high heels, flats, and wedges! SINCE it IS summer though, we all know what that means.. sweaty feet.
I hate slipping and sliding everywhere because my feet are sweaty from the heat, or my foot pops out of my shoe on every step. It’s really frustrating!
The Foot Covers
Kushyfoot was designed to help your feet stay comfortable without having to ditch your style! They come in plain colors as well as printed, colorful colors. SO no matter what your style is, they have something for YOU!
I really like the lightweight feel of these. These would be awesome to even wear with sneakers during the summer instead of socks. I can already tell a huge difference in how much my feet sweat. They hardly sweat at all.
My feet tend to stay inside my shoes instead of them flipping off making me feel like I might break my neck at any second. They also keep me from slipping and sliding everywhere!
They come in a one size fits all in the foot covers. They’ve got a variety of colors and are very cheap! This is a must have for summer in my opinion!
FLATS to go!
I was also sent a pair of Flats to GO. These are for your hurting feet. YOU know how your feet scream in pain after wearing those heels for awhile. These come with their own small carrying case and roll up to fit inside it.
You carry these with you in your purse for when your feet have had enough. Slip these on for the ride back home from work, or while sitting at your desk.. (shh.. I won’t tell).
They are stretchy (the band) and feel SO comfortable. They don’t have much padding on the bottom, but they feel amazing! I wear these around my house as house shoes most of the time because I love how they feel!
Buy it here: Most Kushyfoot products retail for $7.99 as a 2 pair set. Flats to Go retail for $9.99. You can purchase Kushyfoot products from their website.
