Cue the music. Hold your breath. Fight those tears. It's time -- time for the geek or the tough-girl or the under-privileged/secretly gorgeous duckling to swim as a swan. You know it's the best part of the movie. When the scullery maid gets transformed into a princess. When the tomboy FBI agent turns into a beauty pageant queen. When the nerd becomes the most popular girl in school. Despite being grown women, we all love a good movie makeover, don't we?
As beauty editors, we're expected to stay on top of trends and we receive loads of press releases about the latest and greatest beauty products to help us do just that. And we seem to get an extra flurry of them around the holiday season -- which starts in like early October -- so it really helps get us in the holiday mood long before Starbucks and every other establishment starts playing their Christmas tunes. Whether you've been naughty or nice this year, being that it's the season of giving (well, supposed to be, anyway) we decided to share some beauty product gift ideas with you.
Hair washing and drying is quite a chore, no? And your life is more or less ruled by when you're going to wash it, right? (Unless, of course, you have a pixie cut.) Regardless, we are all busy ladies and when we wash our hair, we expect our shampoo to clean and protect our hair color ... and for the smell to intoxicate all who are lucky enough to walk by us. We're not saying that you must spend a ton of money on hair care products to get the quality you're looking for, but what we are saying is that there is a huge difference in quality -- even among the shampoos in the drugstore aisles. And the shampoos on this list are not of high quality.
