Here they are hunties. 5 products that Ms. Faux is taking for a spin.
1. Bumble & Bumble Surf Shampoo 8.5 oz ($25) & Conditioner 8.5 oz. ($27) at BumbleandBumble.com.
What is it? According to Bumble & Bumble...
Shampoo:
What: A clean-rinsing formula makes way for buoyant body and soft, seabreezy texture.
- Who: All hair types and textures, especially those looking for body, texture and enhanced natural waves.

- Who: All hair types and textures, especially those looking for body, texture and enhanced natural wave.
What does Ms. Faux think?
I have to admit, I didn't think this would work on Ms. Faux's fine hair and I still contend that it is best for wavy hairstyles, but so long as I could let my hair air dry, I think this was fine for my hair. I don't want to judge this product though because Ms. Faux loves a very polished hair look. This product is to help mimic a beachy feel and it does what it states so in that respect it is perfect, just not the product for Ms. Faux. I will stick to their Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner. So this one is, "to each their own."
2. Caudalie Paris Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet $39 for 1.3 oz. at Sephora.com
What is it? According to Sephora.com...
What it is:
A cream that intensely moisturizes dehydrated and sensitive skin.
What it is formulated to do:
This natural formula deeply hydrates all skin types, even the hypersensitive ones. It instantly moisturizes, softens and soothes.
What else you need to know:
Packed with Caudalie's famous grape seed polyphenols, these powerful antioxidants stimulate microcirculation and help skin to maintain hydration. Chamomile enriches this quick-acting formula to soothe and calm the skin. Next generation peptides provide desensitizing and painkilling effects.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Again this was a middle of the road item for me which I hate because I do love Caudalie's Beauty Elixir. It did moisturize. It wasn't greasy so I love that, but in terms of moisturizers, I have a couple more in my arsenal that are better for my skin needs. Definitely will not be something that I would reach for in the cold Chicago winter coming up, but maybe the Chicago blistering summers. That is if they give it to me. At $39 the price is a little too steep for me to consider buying.
3. Naobay Oxygenating Cream $36 for 1.7 oz. at Birchbox.com
BIRCHBOX BREAKDOWN
We’ll use avocado wherever we can—smashed onto toast, sliced on tacos, baked into extradecadent brownies—so it was only a matter of time until we were smearing it straight on our face. This eco-conscious moisturizer is loaded with avocado and olive oils. The healthy fats nourish skin, leaving our complexion hydrated—and (almost) as smooth as our favorite snack.
What does Ms. Faux think?Meh... I love that it is all natural and it certainly moisturizes a bit, but this is just not the product again for Ms. Faux. Perhaps if you have oilier skin this would work perfectly as it seems to prime skin well for make up and doesn't leave the face too slippery but otherwise I just found this product to be meh... Definitely would not buy.
4. GlamGlow Powermud Duelcleanse Treatment 1.7 oz. $69 at Sephora.com
What is it? According to Sephora.com...
What it is:
A mud-to-oil, gentle, deep cleansing treatment that removes the weekly buildup of dirt, oil, and makeup. What it is formulated to do:
Revolutionize your cleansing routine with POWERMUD™ mud-to-oil Dualcleanse Treatment. Indulge in a multisensory cleansing experience, uniting the power of mud and the power of oil to achieve amplified deep cleansing, yet gentle results. Goodbye weekly buildup—hello super clean, velvety skin.
It features OILIXER™, which is a custom blended complex of four powerful, rare, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing deep cleansing oils. CLAYTOX™ is a carefully balanced four-clay blend specifically developed to provide an ultragentle skin detoxification for a maximum yet delicate cleanse. And PUREIFIER™ is a complex mix of cleansers, astringents, and exfoliators, working in synergy to dramatically purify and condition the skin.
What does Ms. Faux think?
I. LOVED. IT. Ms. Faux adores GlamGlow products. She has tried their YouthMud Tingle Exfoliate as well as ThirstyMud Hydrating Treatment and much like those products this also doesn't disappoint and Ms. Faux will be purchasing. It was perfect and does exactly what it states. It turns from mud to oil and does a thorough clean of your face. A tip... You
What is it?
What it is:
A natural cleanser with omegas, orange extract, and annato seed extract that transforms from an airy gel to a soft milk, melting away all face and eye makeup. What it is formulated to do:
Ideal for all skin types, this natural cleanser safely removes face and eye makeup leaving skin clean, smooth, and toned. It transforms from a unique jelly texture to a creamy milk, melting away impurities while providing essential nutrition. Sunflower seed oil, which is rich in omegas 6 and 9, gently removes dirt and impurities while nourishing and protecting. Great burdock root extract moisturizes dry areas and purifies oily areas while orange extract soothes, calms, and tones skin with antioxidants and vitamins. Annatto seed extract is added to strengthen skin and shield it from daily stressors while iris root extract softens skin and envelops you in a naturally luxurious, sensorial experience.
What does Ms. Faux think?
I actually do like this. It is a little expensive, but for a decent amount. Still there are cleansers that are passable that would o.k. Maybe not as well, but o.k. and I'm likely to reach for those first. There is the only negative. Here is the positive...
It was amazingly gentle. If you have sensitive skin I would imagine this is an amazing cleanser. Ms. Faux has regular old run of the mill skin however and what I found is that this was not drying at all and cleansed like a dream. No overpowering smell. It literally felt like you were cleaning your skin with the kindest cleanser in the world. Like angels came down and kissed your face.
So there you go. Some new products, one really good one.
Have you tried any of these?
Have a suggestion of a product that Ms. Faux simply must try?
Also if ya'll love it please tell all of your friends and follow her on the following sites. If you don't... tell your enemies and just sit back and laugh at how they were sent to my ramblings. And remember... if you don't look good, then Ms. Faux be lookin' like a damn fool.
