Paul Mitchell Curl's Collection.

Last month when I told you about the fun Paul Mitchell The Truth About Curls campaign, I mentioned that there are some new Paul Mitchell products made just for curly hair. I promised I would tell you more about them, and here they are!

The new Paul Mitchell Curls Collection products:

Spring Loaded Detangling Shampoo™ - This sulfate-free shampoo cleanses hair while leaving hair hydrated and conditioned yet not weighed down. Curls are fizz free right out of the shower.

Full Circle Leave-In Treatment™ - This lightweight conditioner is left in hair to keep hair soft and manageable, while not weighing down the hair so curls can look their best.

Twirl Around™ - This double duty product is a gel and cream that is mixed together right in the bottle so you get the perfect amount of each. The hybrid helps to manage curls, while shaping them and keeping them soft and looking pretty - never crunchy.

Ultimate Wave™ - This styling cream is the ultimate helper for wavy or curly hair. After hair is styled, rub a small amount of this into curls to separate and add texture into the hair.

I hate waves that just sit there, so Ultimate Wave is my new favorite hair styling product. I usually just style, hair spray and go. By using just a bit of this cream, and I mean a bit - like the size of a pea, my hair has movement and looks more natural. I rube the cream into my hands and just run them through my hair. The cream defines defines the wave, while it adds more volume to my look.

To buy these new hair care wonders, you can find a salon with the handy salon locator from the Paul Mitchell website.

Don't forget about the special The Truth About Curls Facebook page. In case you haven't checked out all of the Curl Confessions over on the site, be sure to do so. Take a few mninutes to share you very own curl confession to be featured live on the site. I love to hear how real women deal with their hair dilemmas. It makes me realize that I am not in this alone. Plus, I learn new ways to manage my very own love/hate relationship with my hair. If you do leave your own Curl Confession, please let me know so I can check it out!

Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream and Rosa Arctica Eye

The Kiehl's Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream is a breakthrough anti-aging product. Launched earlier last year, this product quickly became a best seller, but fans wanted more. Learning that there was a need for a lighter cream and simply more products, Kiehl's just launched two new products to the Rosa Arctica family. Meet Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream and Rosa Arctica Eye.

Like the classic Rosa Arctica Cream, these new beauties harnesses the power of the rare Resurrection Flower, to help "wake up" skin cells. I don't know about you, but my skin cells could definitely use a wake up after the summer where my skin is simply over-exposed. You see, this Resurrection Flower, or Haberlea rhodopensis, is a unique biological wonder that can dry out completely and survive periods of dryness during unfavorable conditions for up to 31 months!!! It is how it adapts to environment and survives. When the optimal growth conditions arise, the plant resumes normal growth within hours. Isn't that amazing?  With only a few drops of moisture, and the plant is restored in just one to two days.

The Rosa Arctica formulas bring that unique revitalizing property to the skin. It offers intense hydration, minimizes the appearance of lines, increases firmness and elasticity, and simply smoothes the overall texture of skin.

While I am not quite that hard on my skin, I need to nourish it when I can. I am a fan of the original Rosa Arctica Youth Regenerating Cream, but it was heavy, even for my dry skin. I like the new Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream just as much or maybe even more. I can layer this on in the morning, which is essential if I am (or my skin) is feeling extra tired. I could not wear the original during the day as it was just too rich for me.

The Rosa Arctica Eye Cream has done more for my eyes in a few days than my favorites. It is a balm that is so hydrating. Thanks to mineral brighteners, this instant hydration, just makes my eye area look more alive, as it starts to plump skin, fills in crow’s feet and lifts the area.

Shop at your favorite Kiehl's counter, Kiehl's store on online at kiehls.com now. The Rosa Arctica Lightweight Cream sells for $60.00, while the Rosa Arctica Eye Cream sells for $46.00.
