Weekend Findings
Monday, September 10, 2018
Hey Friends! Welcome back to my little corner of the internet. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours was full of relaxing and getting things done around our house in preparation for my shower next weekend. My hubby & I ran a few errands and I bought a few random things; books and make up mostly. As I was gathering them to take a quick pic for Instagram the inspiration hit me to start a new series on Peaches and Willow where I share the things I found over the weekend that I love and if there are any deals on them that I know of currently. Somethings will be local sales and even small local shops but i'll link up whatever I can and share with you. I'll probably even share things I'm loving such as new songs I found or articles I read.
Mondays are hard but I want to make them a little more happy by sharing these things with you all so I hope you all enjoy this series.
Favorite Spring Lip Sticks + Moisturizing Products
Sunday, March 11, 2018
Hello there. Happy Monday. This weekend was full of family, friends, food, and lots of laughter for me and my family. We celebrated birthdays with some friends and my husband and I ended the weekend by curling up watching The Walking Dead with a glass of wine. It was a wonderful weekend, the low key kind that fills my soul up and makes me ready for the week ahead. Raise your hand if you're happy about the extra hour of daylight we got over the weekend. My hand is raised the highest because daylight is something else that feels my soul up. I live for sunny, warm days.
Saving Money with Harry's Shave Club
Thursday, February 15, 2018
One of my goals for this new year is to find ways to save money and cut back on trips to the store. I feel like I live my life at the grocery store and Target buying food and all the bath and beauty essentials. Sometimes it can be fun but mostly it's one of those mundane chores that gets old after a while. I'm so much of a homebody that I have considered starting to use a delivery service for most of my shopping and honestly, that's something that my husband and I will probably start doing before long but for now, I have found one way to cut back on trips to the store and save on one thing we use all the time; razors and shaving products.
28 Days of Skin Care
Wednesday, February 7, 2018
Skin care is a vital part of our well being. I know my mama and my skin care lady will not be happy to hear this but I have not been keeping up my skin care routine like I should that's why i've joined together with my friend Kayla from Polished and Bubbly for this challenge.
Favorite Beauty Products Vol. 1
Wednesday, January 31, 2018
Happy Wednesday Dolls (and guys, if you're out there). I hope you're all having a wonderful day. It's a sunny, beautiful day here. The kind that just fills my heart and soul with such happiness and inspiration and makes me feel all kinds of beautiful.
Winter can be such a downer when it's so cold, dark and gloomy all the time. I don't feel like getting out from under my blankets much less put on make up and "real" clothes but i've really been focusing on my introverted side this year and making myself get out of the house and moving, even when I don't feel like it and it's been a really good thing for my soul. As a result, i've been trying out new make up and beauty products and wanted to share a few of my absolute favorites from this month with you.
Read on to find out what i've been loving this month.
January Target Beauty Box
Monday, January 29, 2018
Happy Tuesday Beauties. I hope you are all doing amazing and enjoying your day so far.
Subscription boxes have taken the world by storm lately. It's easy to say they are one of the trendiest and most coveted things among us ladies but sometimes they're a little pricey. That's why I have fallen in love with the Target Beauty Box (this month's box has sold out but follow the link at the beginning of February to get yours next month). I started getting boxes last year and am kind of obsessed.
Sugar Palm Beauty
Thursday, January 18, 2018
Winter has officially set in and quiet personally this summer lovin' girl has had enough. A girl can only be cozy and pale for so long before she starts getting those winter blues and dreaming of long days spent at the pool or the beach, getting her tan on. If that's you then, I feel you girl. Since we can’t all be somewhere tropical soaking up the sun, I’ve got the next best thing! Sugar Palm Beauty self tanner. It might not bring the sunshine out but it’ll definitely give your skin that sun kissed, glowy look.
Blogger Techie Gifts
Tuesday, December 12, 2017
Hi Loves! Happy December. Can you believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away? Cue all the happy squeals because I am in full Christmas mode and loving every second of it. The blogger world is all a buzz with gift guides that I am enjoying to the fullest but there aren't many guides for the bloggers and techies out there so I thought it would be fun to create a gift guide for all of us. This one was really hard to narrow down to a few things because there's always so much bloggers need to write and create but here are a few things that would make my blog lovin' heart happy. There was one other thing that I would add to this list and it would be a chatbook of all my Instagram pics from the year. Check out chatbooks.com to see all the fun, customizable book of memories from the year.
I hope all my lovely blogging tribe finds something on this guide to snag for yourselves.

Ladies Stocking Stuffers
Thursday, November 30, 2017
Hi Friends! Can you believe it's finally Christmas time? I am in heaven with all my Christmas decor up, my tree glowing bright and all the Christmas Hallmark movies on my t.v. This is my absolute favorite time of year because of all the celebrating and holiday fun. Know what else I love? Christmas gift guides. I know every single blogger is writing them right now but I don't mind. They're actually my favorite posts of all time because I love seeing what everyone else wants, I usually end up adding a few things from other's wish lists to mine.
My family always starts Christmas morning with stockings so I thought i'd start my holiday guides with stocking stuffer ideas so get ready for all the pretty, sparkly, beauty, make up, cozy goodness your heart can hold. I hope you find something on this list that makes it's way to your list, too.

Loving Lately-Summer to Fall Style
Friday, August 11, 2017
Hi Loves! Happy day sweet friends. I hope you are all enjoying a happy, cozy day today celebrating this Fri-YAY! It's the the end of our first week of school and i'm proud to say we've survived! This is my son's first year of high school but he's handling it like a champ, not that this mama is surprised but let's just say this-mornings are neither of our thing but we're holding tight, working together and making it work.
{Shop Small} Lipsense with Carrie
Thursday, June 1, 2017
Hi Sweet Friends! Today i'm sharing a beautiful lady and her business venture. She's a mom to 7, she's a bloggers, she's a Lipsense distributor. She runs this. Y'all know I love to support small businesses and their owners, add to that make up and i'm head over heels. I love cheering fellow lady bosses on so get cozy with a glass of sweet tea and get to know Carrie through her Q&A.
Hello Carrie. Welcome to my blog sweet blog.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I'm Carrie Willard. I'm a wife, mom of 7 (ages 2-19), homeschooler, blogger and SeneGence/LipSense distributor.
What inspired you to become a part of the Lipsense community and become fabulous sales lady for the company?
It was when I saw my upline, Anna Newell Jones, post about her new car! She had earned it in less than 4 months working the business part time. I am currently without a car due to a series of unfortunate events - we've literally had to donate two of our cars to charity in the last 3 months! That car got my attention.
My mom was a Tupperware lady for years, and we drove a Tupperware wagon when I was a kid. I remember going to parties with her and watching her build a team. I knew the business model worked, I had just never found a product I could get excited about until LipSense.
What does the Lipsense company stand for and what does it mean to you?
LipSense was founded by a woman who had a passion for direct sales. She was a leader in Mary Kay, but wanted to create a product line that contained botanical ingredients and that had a better compensation plan. SeneGence was the result. I love the company culture. SeneGence discourages pushiness and "salesy" tactics. Most of the distributors mirror the founder's chill, no-pressure vibe. There is also an amazing "SeneSisterhood" that exists in the company, the likes of which I've never seen. The support from other distributors, who share marketing advice, training and even graphics - though they don't benefit at all from my efforts - is amazing.
What makes you most excited about selling Lipsense?
The fact that LipSense is so awesome! It is a Wow product. When women see it, they want it! It sells so well that the company has trouble keeping any colors in stock at the moment. The company experienced 2000% percent growth in 2016. Yes, that's 2000% percent.
I have customers who only received their first product one week ago who are already buying their second, third, fourth and FIFTH color from me. Unbelievable.
If you could only use product from Lipsense for the rest of your life, which product would it be? Why?
LipSense! I'm a total lipstick addict and used to have to re-apply lipstick 6-8 times a day. I also had a bad habit of chewing my mouth and my lips were chronically chapped - so badly, that I constantly applied lip balm and had one in my pocket at all times. With LipSense, my lips are healing and I only have to apply my lip color once a day in the morning - and I can kiss my babies and teenage sons and husband and not get lipstick on them!
What is your favorite thing about the Lipsense, as a whole?
How easily it sells. I've been in direct sales before, and selling product was so hard! With LipSense demos, I easily sell $450-$650 of product in an hours.
How can all our readers see all the Lipsense products?
Join my Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/lippychic
Are there any special Lipsense promotions currently?
No, but if you join my Facebook group I offer specials from time to time. Last week I had free shipping.
Do you host parties? If so can you tell our readers about how those work?
Yes. I do in-home and Facebook parties. I prefer the latter. Nobody has to clean their house or even put shoes on! And you can invite friends who live far away. The potential for more sales (and greater hostess benefits) is much better. And Facebook Live is so fun! We get the same intimate feeling without the same pressure to clean house and play hostess.
To book a party, just contact me and let's set a date. I set up the Facebook page for your party and all you do is invite people. For the days leading up to the party, I post info about LipSense, including live videos, to introduce people to the product. You come in at the party time to interact with your friends. And I do fun giveaways. Because the party page is up for several days, people can stop by and browse and order for a longer period (greater hostess freebies for you!), and they aren't limited by a set time and place. So easy!
Lastly, how can my readers get in touch with you about ordering or booking a party?
They can email me directly at help@lippychic.com or message me or leave a comment at my Facebook Page lippychic
Thank you so much Carrie, for sharing your Lipsense business with us. It's an amazing brand and she's one of the sweetest ladies I know so ladies, run over to her Facebook group and check out her products or throw a party with her. It's okay to treat yourself!

Favorite Make Up Products
Thursday, May 18, 2017
Hi Loves! Remember this post from Instagram last week?
I asked and you all said YES! You wanted to see my favorite make up products. Bonus is that most of them are under $10 and can be bought at Target or CVS.
So let's get glam today, beauties.
Primers & Moisturizers
+Coola ER Fresh Relief Face Serum $68.00
I know I said most of these products are under $10 and the first one I start off with is 6xs that much but this is not just a moisturizer. It repairs a multitude of flaws caused my the environment. It's an anti-inflammatory moisturizer that nourishes damaged skin while protecting it from other harmful pollutants and sun. It is well worth the splurge. Since I started using it about two months ago, my skin looks brighter and the redness is starting to even out.
+Soap and Glory Daily Youth Moisturizer $12.99
+Wet n Wild Picture Perfect Eyeshadow Primer $4.79
Face
+NYX BB Cream $8.99
+ELF HD Powder $5.49
+BareMinerals Faux Tan All Over $21.00
+Essence Glitter in the Air (I can't find this product on the Target web site or the essence site so it seems it might be discontinued). By the looks of mine, i'll be looking for a replacement soon.
+Soap and Glory Peach Party Blush Brick $12.99
+Wet n Wild MegaGlo Make Up Stick in Peach Bums $3.99
+Wet n Wild MegaGlo Make Up Stick in When the Nude Strikes $3.99
+EssencePure Nude Concealer $3.49
+ELF Beautifully Bare Total Face Palette $8.00
Eyes
+ Tarte Swamp Queen Palette $45.00
This is definitely a splurge but it is so worth it. I love the colors, they're bright and bold but there are a few softer colors, too.
+Ellen Tracy Palette (I can't find this anywhere on line to link to. I found mine at Marshall's for $6.99). If you can find this palette, it's definitely one to snag because the colors are soft but bright and very pretty. This one is a daily "go to" for me.
+W7 Color Me Nude Palette $12.95
This was another Marshall's steal for me at $6.99. Marshall's and TJ Maxx are great places to find in-expensive palettes like these.
+Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara $4.99
+Perfectly Posh Lash Pop is officially retired but my girl Kristen is keeping her eyes open for this product. If it becomes available again she'll let us know! (fingers crossed)
Lippies
+Wet n Wild Silk finish Lipstick in A Short Affair $1.49
+NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa $5.99
+NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Sydney $5.99
+Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Candy Queen $8.99
+Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in Adorable $7.99
+Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in Precious $7.99
So dolls, you have my holy grail make up products. Should we do beauty products next?
Spring Nails with Trust Fund Beauty
Thursday, May 11, 2017
Nail polish is one of my favorite essentials. I'm obsessed with it. In fact, I have two plastic bins full of all the pretty colors but can't seem to stop buying more. Lately i've been really loving the neutrals so I knew I had to snag the rude nudes #2 minis from Trust Fund Beauty.
Not only are they such pretty, light, feminine colors; they last so long, too. I wear them for a week with minimal chipping and that's a huge win for me because my nails usually chip within two days of me painting them.
Trust Fund Beauty products are made in the United States and Europe and they're vegan and cruelty free. They have a huge variety of pretty, bold, feminine, flirty and fun colors so if your nails need a little pop of brightness for spring and summer head over to Trust Fund Beaty's website and treat yourself!
Bitches Who Brunch, No Filter, Going Commando, Rude Nude, I Look Good Nude, Sublty Sassy
Which color would you rock?
Spring Time Essentials
Tuesday, May 2, 2017
It's officially spring time and my heart couldn't be any happier. I just love this time of year. The weather is warm, the sun is shining and it means we're outside a lot. There's nothing better than lazy days spent on my front porch, long chats with my sweet neighbor outside, grilling out with my husband and family corn hole games that last all evening. Days seem slower this time of year.
If you saw my Blogger Bliss post over on my sweet friend, Mistle from Sweet Tea Hydrangeas then you'll know what some of my must haves for spring are but, in case you missed it, I thought i'd share them with you on Peaches and Willow.
Spring time means Jeep time. Jeep hair don't care but give me a glittery, monogrammed ball cap and I can still look girly and fashionable while keeping my hair under control.
I love cute sunnies, too. These from Amazon always get compliments. I can't seem to find them now but you can see a few of my picks for cute and cheap sunnies here//here//and here
I've always got my Perk! Skin Stick from Perfectly Posh with me because the pollen is killer this time of year and I always get headaches but it's too nice to stay inside. Perk! helps combat those pesky headaches so I can enjoy being outside.
A good book for sitting on the front porch our out by the pool is essential and cute earrings are always a must have. I'm in love with tassels and beaded statement earrings right now. These from Target for $9.99 are my favorites but I'm swooning over these//these//these//and these.
Sunscreen is a no brainer. Spending all the time outdoors means you need your skin to be protected from the harmful UV rays but did you know that Coola not only smells good, is SPF 50, and protects against sun damage; it also balances skin tone and defends against anti aging? Coolas Classic Sport SPF 50 Mango Moisturizer will be in my bag all spring and summer along with the Mineral Liplux SPF 30 In Nude Beach.
Of course I always need a cute water bottle because I always carry water with me but I like to keep it cold so a cute water bottle solves that. And bright, poppy nails in the spring and summer area always a must for me! I kinda have an obsession with bright colors and pretty nails.
What are some of your spring essentials?

Self Care Routine with Vitabath
Friday, April 21, 2017
*This is not an affiliate link. I received free products in exchange for this post.
All thoughts are my own.*
This week has been one of those trying weeks for me. As soon as my eyes open in the morning I begin thinking of all the things that are bringing me stress. I'm filled with worry and anxiety and because of this I feel frazzled and at a loss for concentration. I feel like i've hit a wall. Give me all the sweat pants and naps. But instead of breaking down and staying in this little funk of a place i've been in i'm learning how to unwind and de-stress in order for a clearer mind and better health; both physically and mentally.
I start the morning off by laying in bed and quietly praying to God. I pray for the safety of my loved ones and I pray for him to show me the way to deal with the things on my heart. I pray to become the person he wants me to be.
Once I get up I throw on some sweats and a tee, I brush my teeth, throw my hair in a bun and put my wedding set on then I stop by my son's room to begin waking him up (he's a heavy sleeper just like his mama). Next I go downstairs and start making my son's lunch and my coffee in the quietness of the morning.
While my son showers I always read my She Reads Truth daily devotional while i'm drinking my coffee. It always gives me a sense of calm in the morning.
After I take my son to school, I come home and shower with some of my favorite products including Vitabath's body wash. They were so kind to send me a package filled with body washes that smell amazing and are super hydrating because they are loaded with vitamin benefits and natural oils and best of all, they're non-irritant.
I like to pick a scent of the day so there are no less than 20 products in my shower. My favorite is the Vanilla Bourbon. Somedays I feel the need for a little stress relief so the Spearmint and Thyme is what I grab. No matter what scent you pick you can't go wrong.
I love to do my hair and make up, too even if i'm only going to be home cleaning house and blogging because it always gives me a little boost and makes me feel so much better. Plus, who doesn't like feeling pretty?
After I do all that, I like to make out a "to do" list for the day. Starting my day by writing out everything that I need to get done and what's on my mind really sets the tone of the day. I'm a huge believer in getting things out of my head that's why I like to do a brain dump, too. A brain dump is where you write down everything on your mind. It can be such a relief to just clear your mind of clutter. Some of the things on the brain dump might be significant, others might just be enough to write them down and forget them.
Then I do a little housework and dinner preparation. Anyone who has a home occupied by people knows this is a never ending job. If you know how to keep a house clean for more than 10 minutes you are my hero and I need your tips.
After that I like to sit outside in the sunshine with an inspirational book or my lap top and read blog posts from other fellow bloggers. I'm learning to disconnect from all electronics for a while and just soak up all the sunshine and life around me.
After I get my son from school, we play outside at my parent's house for a couple hours, come home, cook dinner, clean some more then it's family time followed by time to relax before bed. Which sometimes means a bubble bath with my favorite Vitabath products.
If you are in need of wonderful products that smell good and are good to your skin then run to Vitabath's website. Vitabath is also sold at Ulta, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens as well as other various boutiques and pharmacies.
Do you un-wind with Vitabath? What's your favorite product?

They were so kind to send me a package filled with body washes that smell amazing and are super hydrating because they are loaded with vitamin benefits and natural oils and best of all, they're non-irritant.
I like to pick a scent of the day so there are no less than 20 products in my shower. My favorite is the Vanilla Bourbon. Somedays I feel the need for a little stress relief so the Spearmint and Thyme is what I grab. No matter what scent you pick you can't go wrong.
I love to do my hair and make up, too even if i'm only going to be home cleaning house and blogging because it always gives me a little boost and makes me feel so much better. Plus, who doesn't like feeling pretty?
After I do all that, I like to make out a "to do" list for the day. Starting my day by writing out everything that I need to get done and what's on my mind really sets the tone of the day. I'm a huge believer in getting things out of my head that's why I like to do a brain dump, too. A brain dump is where you write down everything on your mind. It can be such a relief to just clear your mind of clutter. Some of the things on the brain dump might be significant, others might just be enough to write them down and forget them.
Then I do a little housework and dinner preparation. Anyone who has a home occupied by people knows this is a never ending job. If you know how to keep a house clean for more than 10 minutes you are my hero and I need your tips.
After that I like to sit outside in the sunshine with an inspirational book or my lap top and read blog posts from other fellow bloggers. I'm learning to disconnect from all electronics for a while and just soak up all the sunshine and life around me.
After I get my son from school, we play outside at my parent's house for a couple hours, come home, cook dinner, clean some more then it's family time followed by time to relax before bed. Which sometimes means a bubble bath with my favorite Vitabath products.
If you are in need of wonderful products that smell good and are good to your skin then run to Vitabath's website. Vitabath is also sold at Ulta, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens as well as other various boutiques and pharmacies.
Do you un-wind with Vitabath? What's your favorite product?
Formula 10.0.6
Friday, April 7, 2017
*This is not an affiliate link. I received free products in exchange for this post. All thoughts are my own.*
I'm obsessed with skin care, that's no secret so when a box of Formula 10.0.6. products showed up at my front door I was beyond ecstatic. The box was packed full of colorful skin care bottles that made me want to take my make up off immediately and start washing my face.
I'll admit that with sensitive skin i'm always a little iffy about new products but their products are made with all natural, fresh ingredients and i'm happy to say that they are so gentle on my skin. I've had absolutely no issues at all and i've become a fan for life.
Be Berry Ready
So Totally Clean Micellar Water
Best Face Forward
Be Berry Ready Daily Foaming Cleanser
Blackberry + Coconut Milk
The Blackberry hydrates and detoxifies while the Coconut Milk cleanses and soothes skin making this the perfect cleanser for everyday use. It leaves your skin feeling soft, clean, and youthful.
So Totally Clean Micellar Water
This is so gentle on sensitive skin with it's ingredients such as cucumber, sea kelp, and chamomile.
Cucumber is soothing and cooling while Sea Kelp detoxifies and cleans your skin of impurities. Chamomile has a multitude of purposes, including reducing dark circles and moisturizing. They come together to make one amazing powerhouse of product. Micellar water is amazing for taking off your make up and taking care of those stubborn, clogged pores.
It's gentle enough to use around your eyes, making it my "go to" make up remover and face cleanser. It usually takes me a couple cotton balls to get my face totally make up free but it's the number one step to having fresh feeling, clean, glowing skin. Micellar water is part of my nightly routine for this reason. It's also great to use on a q-tip if you make a mistake while applying your make up. Simply wipe the q-tip across the flaw, re-apply your make up and you're good to go.
Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Face Cleanser
Passionfruit + Green Tea
This foaming face cleanser is perfect for cleaning those facials oils away and leaving your face feeling refreshed, clean, and glowing.
A little something I learned about the ingredients in this product is that Passionfruit and Green Tea are like the Sprinkles and Frosting of skin care. Passionfruit reduces oiliness while Green Tea exfoliates and soothes. Making this product a dream come true.
This one lives in my shower for daily morning use. I love beginning with a fresh, glowing face and it makes my make up go on smoother.
Pores Be Pure Skin Clarifying Mud Mask
Be Berry Bright Exfoliating Mud Mask
Deep Down Detox Ultra-Cleansing Mud Mask
Pores Be Pure Skin Clarifying Mud Mask
Strawberry + Yarrow
This mud mask goes to work un-clogging pores, correcting a multitude of complexion problems. Strawberry and Rosemary eliminates impurities caused by pollutants and products while Yarrow clarifies skin and helps brighten dull complexion.
This one is my favorite of all the Mud Masks simply because I feel like my pores are one of my beauty flaws so anything I can get to help my pores is a winner. I also love the light strawberry scent. Formula 10.0.6's Mud Masks smell nothing like mud (and trust me, I've had other products that smelled like mud so bad that I just threw them away.)
Be Berry Bright Exfoliating Mud Mask
Goji Berry + Green Coffee
Goji Berries are great antioxidants while Green Coffee Beans gently exfoliate. This little tube packs a 3 in 1 punch because it exfoliates, cleanses and washes away impurities. It is also great for promoting even skin tone (goodbye redness!) and reduces free radicals.
If you had to get any one Formula 10.0.6 product I would say this would be it. Although, once you try one product you'll want them all but this 3 in 1 really had you covered.
Deep Down Detox Ultra-Cleansing Mud Mask
Orange+Bergamont
Orange, Bergamot and Sea Salt work together to detoxify and diminish impurities in the skin. It really gets down deep and gets rid of impurities and toxins, making your skin clearer and brighter. Orange recharges, Sea Salt cleanses and Bergamont balances the skin making this product another power house.
What I love about all the Mud Masks is that they each serve a purpose. One is for Clarifying, one for Exfoliating and one is Ultra-Cleansing. Making them a perfect combination to use regularly to curse a whole host of skin flaws.
Be Berry Clear Illuminating Peel Mask
Get Your Glow On Peel Mask
Peel Masks might just be one of my favorite things in the history of beauty products. It's so gross to peel them off your skin and see the dirt that comes with them but at the same time, I find them oddly enjoyable because I can see how clean my skin is getting.
Like the Mud Masks, each of the Peel Masks serve a purpose.
Be Berry Clear Illuminating Peel Mask
Raspberry + Acai
Hello bright, glowing skin. Raspberry and Acai deliver a punch of antioxidants to help with flare ups and minimize pores. Two of my big concerns. I get a lot of flare ups this time of year because of pollen and allergies so it's been my "go to" lately but this product soothes and calms those problem areas and it's gentle enough to use around my eyes, where my flare ups happen.
Get Your Glow On Peel Mask
Papaya + Citrus
This peel revitalizes tired, dull skin within minutes to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and stop breakouts from happening. Papaya resurfaces skin while Citrus boosts brightness.
I have to be honest with y'all, when I got all my products out for this review I realized I haven't even opened this one yet so I can't give you an honest review of it yet and i'm kind of excited. I love all my Formula 10.0.6 products but it's kind of like finding a special treat tucked away.
Franck Provost J'amie My...Shampoo and Conditioner
Franck Provost is a hair care line based out of France that is currently being brought to the United States. It is currently in half of the Ulta stores nation wide.
It repairs damaged and brittle hair. I've been alternating this with my regular shampoo for the last month and can tell you that I am truly excited about this product. I have fine, thin hair but this product does wonders to add volume and bounce to my hair, as well as repair damage. I hope my Ulta sells this because i'll be buying more as soon as my bottles run out.
