Every once in a while I get random compliments from strangers about my eyebrows. (In fact, at least two such instances happened to me during Blissdom.) But really, they’re complimenting me on my eyebrow pencil because my natural brow seems to end a little over half-way. Which is totally … [Read more...]
Shine On!
March 6, 2009
I have this love for hair products. I am a salon owner's dream come true. "Janel, you should try this..." Say no more, I'm sold. Really, I just can't seem to get enough of them and I tend to buy many that I end up not liking. But today, I'm talking about one that I love! One … [Read more...]

Last week Moriah broached the subject of natural deodorant with a review of Arm & Hammer’s new Essentials line of natural deodorants.

Mexico, … [Read more...]

Pumps, aerosols, extra hold, flexible hold, volumizing, anti-frizz, finishing, freezing - oh so many choices.

Protect your hair from the heat
February 19, 2009
Do you use heat to style your hair? A hair dryer? Curling iron? Straightening iron? I'm willing to bet the answer is yes. Do you use protection? If you are subjecting your hair to high heat then you need to be using something to protect it. The heat of a dryer or iron can cause major … [Read more...]
I am as close as I will ever get to having hair of spun silk like Rapunzel
February 12, 2009
Hey all. It’s my inaugural post here at Chic Critique and I would be lying if I told you all I wasn’t even a bit nervous. I’m sort of way nervous. Anyway, I’m Lisa from Take 90 West. I’d love to insert a picture of myself here but I’m right in the middle of moving this week, and I can … [Read more...]
