Trunk Show
Wouldn’t it be great to go to an event this evening? I mean, isn’t that what Saturday nights are built for?
Let me not lead you astray though, I’m not big into going out. I’m on the scale of being a SERIOUS introvert so unless the proposed event has a theme with at least one or two interesting and/or entertaining people (I’m not talking about the town nitwit), I can’t be lured.
When I do go out, I want to GO OUT! Music! Dancing! Witty (slightly gossipy) conversation! Atmosphere! You know what I mean - appearing in sequins should NEVER beg questions of being overdressed!
Like I said, I don’t go out often.
However, I am in need of a serious pick me up this Saturday night! An event! We need an event! Tousled invites you to our blogosphere trunk show!! Since this is all hair centric, may I recommend a hydrating and spa like glass of water with lemon and cucumber? Since we are at home I suggest comfortable but cozy attire. Something you wouldn’t be ashamed to open the door in. I’ll let you in on a styling secret. Being from the tropics and living in the Middle East, my go to lounge wear is NOT leggings or yoga pants (no judgement) but swimsuit coverups! Think about it for a minute. Light weight, breathable fabrics, well constructed and in vibrant patterns and colors. See our suggestions for trunk show attire on The Trim!
Our trunk show features a few celebrity centric hair products for home use! Let’s do this - Lumières! La musique!
Color Wow Root Cover Up - Listen up! Kim K and J-Lo’s stylist, hair guru Chris Appleton swears by this home treatment to instantly camouflage roots and regrowth in between salon appointments. We like this product not because of the ringing celebrity endorsement I mean just this morning over legal conversation my best friend asked WWJLD (what would J-Lo do)?
Aside: In case you were interested, I said J-LO would have taken a private jet, read the offending person for. filth. and flown off to go about her business. My best fiend agreed but had a caveat - mature J-Lo would take the plan and fight with words, 30 something J-Lo…. it wouldn’t have been so peaceful. LOL.
But back to the matter at hand, with this particular hair concern I am going with J-Lo and opt for the mess-free, easy-to-apply, mineral powder touch-up compact. The packaging is amazingly discreet. The compact of pigment comes with a mirror and a dual-ended brush. In eight colors, Color Wow Root Cover Up claims to be water and sweat resistant and lasts until your next shampoo.

Parissa Waxing Pen - I get a little nervous when it comes to waxing and professionals. I mean its a lot and its invasive. I don't like people I know well touching me much less a stranger, and I don’t know about you but I always pee (just a little) when trying a new estitican. Thoughts like, “Jesus! PLEASE DON”T let me end up with one eyebrow!” go through my head.
Parissa Waxing Pen ensures that you (with a steady hand) can take care of your eyebrows, but most likely, you should venture forth on your upper lip with this wunderkind! \
If youre going to undertake at home waxing with this product or body strips (ouchy), take a look at the following tips:
The skin’s natural oils provide a buffer between wax and skin. So don’t wash your face beofre applying the wax.
Sparingly applying some talc (soft) powder to the area is an option, this can help keep the skin dry in warmer weather.
Don’t wax over the same area more than once during a single waxing session.
Previously shaved hair can be stubbly and resistant. Wait for at least two weeks hair growth (½ cm or ¼”) before waxing.
Avoid waxing before or after strenuous exercise.
Remove any wax left on skin with the Azulene aftercare oil included in the kit (or other gentle oils such as baby oil or mineral oil).
3. Aloe Hair Mask - Cheap, easy and plentiful, grab some aloe and check out the link here for an all natural pampering hair mask that will make your hair stronger, longer and more beautiful than anything you can find in a bottle.
So that’s the trunk show! Hopefully these recommendations are accessible in your area and will keep you looking like your usual fine self! If you have recommendations for at home haircare, leave a comment below.
