Healthy and Shiny Hair at any age with Roux's Anti-Aging Line: Review and Giveaway (5 winners!!!)




Keeping my hair looking and feeling healthy can be quite a challenge...especially as I get older! My hair is heavily highlighted, long, and I often rely on heat tools. I am picky with my hair products. Plus, I invest a lot in my highlights. So, I want my hair to look as shiny and healthy as possible. Luckily, good hair products don't have to cost a fortune. You just need to know what works for your hair. Today I would love to share with you the fabulous Roux Anti-Aging Product Collection.  These products are giving my hair exactly what it needs!  Plus, I have a Giveaway for 5 Roux collections (5 winners will each win an entire Roux Anti-Aging collection!).

Anti-Aging Hair Care?
This was a banner year for me...I turned 40. No, nothing magically changed at 40. Wrinkles and dull hair didn't appear overnight, lol. However, reaching this milestone has heightened my awareness and desire for anti-aging products. I would like to keep not only wrinkles, but also dull and dry hair at bay. Yes, the aging process even effects your hair.

What do we see as our hair ages?

Just as your skin can start to develop fine lines and look dull as early as your twenties, your hair can age prematurely, too. Color loss, thinning, breakage and dryness can all make hair look lifeless and fragile, as mechanical, environmental and chemical stresses take their toll. 

The good news? Roux has a new Anti-Aging Hair Care line! The line offers 10 products for the full range of age-related hair issues. Roux's Anti-Aging Hair Care line can bring back your healthy, strong, full, and shiny hair (no matter what your age!).  

What is special about Roux's Anti-Aging Line?
This entire line contains Roux's exclusive Instant Vitality Complex, an anti-aging blend of anti-oxidant vitamins A and E, keratin, biotin, panthenol and UV filters. Together, they provide a powerful defense against signs of aging hair, including dullness, breakage, dryness, thinning and unruly grays. The keratin-enriched formulas repair damage and replenish moisture, improve the hair’s strength from the inside out and prevent further damage, leaving hair renewed, with vitality, bounce and youthful shine.
What have I seen as my hair has aged? I have definately noticed that my hair texture has gradually changed as I have gotten older. My hair is certainly more coarse and dry. I also notice a lack of shine. However, I am not sure if I should attribute that to age or my constant cycle of highlights. Either way, I always seek out products designed to tame my hair, bring back shine and moisture, increase comb-ability, and reduce breakage.


The Products: Roux's Anti-Aging Hair Care Line:
Shampoos and Conditioners:
  • Roux Anti-Aging Keratin Repair Shampoo and Conditioner: This shampoo and conditioner gently cleanses your hair while increasing your hair's strength and preventing possible future damage. How does it do this? The formula contains Keratin Amino Acids and Biotin which are powerhouse ingredients for hair strength. They help to re-build hair and leave it stronger. The formula also contains Vitamins A & E and UV protectors. I absolutely adore this shampoo/conditioner combo. Not only do these products smell amazing, but also the shampoo works into a nice lather and the conditioner feels so thick and nourishing. Kertain products are crucial not only for aging hair, but also hair of any age that gets chemical services like highlights or color. I find that my hair feels stronger when I use this. I see less breakage and my hair is left shiny, soft, and manageable while also not being weighed down. Retails for $10.49 each. 
  • Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Shampoo and Conditioner: This color protect formula  fights color-fade while gently replenish lost moisture. The formula includes powerhouse hair-loving anti-oxidants, including vitamins A & E. These work to nourish and protect the hair, while also shielding it from damaging UV rays. This, in turn, locks in hair color and locks out damage caused by environmental stressors. So, you get longer-lasting color, while fighting signs of hair aging! Now, who doesn't want that! :) While I do not get my hair colored (my highlights remove my hair color and I do not get any additional color added back into my hair/no lowlights or toners), I do still enjoy using this shampoo and conditioner. It is so gentle on my hair and leaves it feeling soft and nourished. Plus, it has that amazing Roux scent! I love the thick and rich feel of this shampoo. It works up such an amazing lather. I find that my hair is super bouncy and shiny when I use this shampoo and conditioner combo. It allows my hair to feel soft and smooth while not weighing it down in the least. I am very impressed!!! Retails for $10.49 each.
Serum and Corrector:
  • Roux Anti-Aging hair Serum: This is a leave-in spray treatment that reduces hair breakage while also adding volume and strengthening the hair. It is so easy to use! I simply spray about 8 pumps of this leave-in into my hair after towel drying. Unlike other leave-ins, you spray this one towards the roots and comb it through so it works root to tip. The formula includes Keratin Amino Acids and biotin to rebuild your hair while. This allows you to have longer and stronger hair. This product is great for both thin hair as well as weakend hair. While my hair is in no way thin, it certaily is weak from highlights (and possibly age as well). I like how this product helps to stregthen and give volume without making hair feel greasy nor weighing hair down. Plus, yes, it smells amazing! Retails for $11.99. 
  • Roux Anti-Aging Porosity Control Corrector & Conditioner: I am so excited that I have a chance to talk about this amazing product. I have actually been using Roux's Porosity Control as part of my pre-and post- highlights routine for the past 10+ years (while this product is newly named "anti-aging", it has been in the Roux line for years)! I always treat my hair to an at-home protein and moisture treatment before and after getting my highlights. My last step in this process (protein treatment, moisture treatment, and then Porosity Control) is Roux's Porosity Control! So, what is it? Roux Anti-Aging Porosity Control Corrector & Conditioner  infuses moisture into hair and equalizes its porosity to return it to a balanced state, leaving it more manageable, with increased smoothness and vibrancy. This anti-aging treatment leaves age-weakened hair looking healthier with a more youthful shine. It can also be used to prepare the hair for chemical treatments by equalizing its porosity to achieve predictable results. Roux’s consumer panel agreed that their hair was 85% stronger with regular use. One of the biggest issues with chemically treated hair is the porosity. If you can equalize this, you will quite simply get better results with your chemical service. It is a step in my home hair treatment that I never skip! Even though I have used it for years as a pre-and post- chemical service treatment, I never thought of just using it as a conditioning booster. Now that I know it can leave my hair more managable all the time, I am going to use it more frequently! Retails for $10.99. 

Leave-In Treatments:
Roux's Anti-Aging Line includes four different types of single use leave-ins. These come packaged in 3-packs with 3 single use "ampoules" (little vials that you cut/snap the top off). There are four formulas (see bullet points below for details about each formula). So, bascially, just think about your particular hair needs and choose accordingly! Thats how I choose. I like rotating the Leave-In treatments depending on what my hair needs that day. My favorite of these is the Extra Moisture Leave-In Treatment as that seems to be my biggest concern. However, I do like to switch them up. The only formula that I do not use quite as often is the Hair & Scalp Rehab formula as I have no issues with hair growth nor thinning hair.

These Leave-In Treatments by Roux are super easy to use! Just shake up the little vial and then snap off the top. Then, apply entire vial to your damp or dry hair and massage in. Next, you just proceed to style as usual. I find that I use these when my hair is towel dried and still damp. These little single use vials can be used once a week for best results. To me, these are salon-quality treatments that you can do in the comfort of your own home. They really make a huge difference in both the health of my hair and how my hair looks and feels. The formula feels "thin" and watery. However, it packs a major treatment punch! I can't get over how shiny and nourished my hair looks and feels after using these treatments! What do I love even more than that? These treatments give your hair vital nutrients while not weighing your hair down or making your hair feel greasy like so many deep treatments do. I really adore these single use treatments!
  • Roux Anti-Aging extra Moisture Leave-in treatment with replenishing panthenol hydrates the hair, increasing moisture by 76% instantly to fight signs of aging. Anti-oxidant vitamins A & E and biotin hydrate and condition the hair to improve manageability and renew the hair with youthful shine. Retails for $9.29 for three 0.5-ounce, single-use ampoules. 
  • Roux Anti-Aging extra Repair Leave-in treatment with strengthening keratin rehydrates and repairs the hair and prevents split ends to reduce damage by up to 40%. This vitamin-enriched formula infuses keratin into the hair’s cortex layer for stronger, longer hair. It also balances porosity to rejuvenate color-treated, bleached and double-processed hair. SRP $9.29 for three 0.5-ounce, single-use ampoules. 
  • Roux Anti-Aging extra Volume Leave-in treatment infuses thickening collagen into the hair to increase volume by 89% for younger-looking hair instantly. This concentrated treatment fights signs of aging for hair that’s more youthful, bouncy, voluminous and shiny. Vitamins A & E both nourish and protect the hair, leaving it fuller and thicker to bring back beautiful, healthier, younger-looking hair. SRP $9.29 for three 0.5-ounce, single-use ampoules. 
  • Roux Anti-Aging hair & Scalp Rehab Leave-in treatment with renewing biotin improves the appearance of hair growth. It fights all signs of aging by stimulating the scalp to revitalize hair follicles and rehabilitates and rejuvenates thinning and/or age-weakened hair. Vitamins A & E both nourish and protect the hair, as they fight signs of aging to bring back beautiful, healthier, younger-looking hair. SRP $9.29 for three 0.5-ounce, single-use ampoules.

Top 5 Handbag Must-Haves with U by Kotex


This post is sponsored by U by Kotex and Walmart. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. 


5 Must-Have Fall Essentials in my Handbag:
I always switch out my handbags with the change of season. Along with this? I stock up my purse with items that I need for this time of year. I carry a HUGE handbag. Why? With 2 kids in diapers (an 8 month old and a2 year old), my handbag functions as both a diaper bag and a purse. I need room for not only my essentials, but also items for the kiddos. I find that using a large handbag works better and looks more chic than a traditional diaper bag. I like using inexpensive handbags as my diaper bag/purse combo. That way, if I get baby/kid spills...no worries!

I am excited to share with you my 5 Must-Have Fall Handbag Essentials. Plus, keep reading to find out how you can score an incredible U by Kotex coupon!



My Handbag:
This bag is my newest addition to my handbag collection (from Forever 21). It is super basic. It is quite simply a tote with a snap closure. It is huge and also very lightweight (bonus points for that!). My only complaint is the lack of an inner pocket for my phone. It was very inexpensive and actually came as a set with another slimmer shoulder bag/cross body zipper bag that matches. I am toying with the idea of putting my items in the smaller matching bag and putting that bag inside the tote and carrying them as a set.




5 Must-Have Fall Essentials in my Handbag:



  • U by Kotex: Lets face it...no one wants to be stuck without their girl-essentials. I absolutely always have a sanitary pad and/or tampon in my purse as I often don't know when my cycle might hit. No one wants to be stuck in a situation where they are without a pad! So, I always carry a couple with me. I like these Ultra Thin "Clean Wear" pads by U by Kotex. They are super slim and have very cute and colorful packaging. 
  • Kleenex Slim Packs: Fall is cold and flu season. With a toddler and a baby in the house, runny noses are constant! Actually, my toddler is just getting over a sinus infection and I have Fall allergies. So, you can imagine are noses are constantly running! I honestly can not leave the house without Kleenex. These Kleenex Slim Packs are so convenient for my handbag or diaper bag. Plus, look how cute they are! I love the Fall colors of this pack and the floral/bird design. Cute!



  • Sunglasses: I simply can't live without my sunglasses. I always have a pair either with me or I am wearing them. These are my Prada ones that I have had for years and they are still going strong. This classic and fashionable style goes with everything. I have a few pairs of glasses that I wear on a regular basis but these ones are really my favorite. As soon as I get home from outings, I tuck my sunglasses right into my handbag to store. That way I will never be without them when I leave the house. My eyes are very light blue and therefore very sensitive to light. Even when it is not that bright out, I squint if I don't have sunglasses. I always need them! 
  • Phone: Who can't live without their smart phone these days? It is the quintessential handbag must-have! Like many of you (I am sure), this phone functions not only for a phone, texting, and Internet, but also I store my to-do lists and use the iCal. So, I always need it on-the-go! Funny, to illustrate the point of my phone always being in use...note the fact that it is only my case visible in these blog post photos, lol...because I use my phone to take my blog photos! :)

  • Makeup Bag/Minor Emergencies bag: I have really pared-down my makeup bag lately. I used to carry a gazillion products with me. However, I never seem to have the time to reapply. So, my makeup bag has morphed into my makeup bag/emergencies bag. The zipper bag itself is so cute! It is the Jonathan Cohen for Shu Uemura Art of Hair makeup bag (The Jonathan Cohen for Shu Uemura Art of Hair Beauty Bag retails for $98, or get it with three on-the-go beauty essentials, Full Shimmer Shampoo, Full Shimmer Conditioner and Essence Absolue in convenient travel sizes, for $162.  The Cosmetic Bag retails for $48.)  Inside the bag, I keep a few basic makeup items: lip balm, lipgloss, face powder, and blotting sheets. These are really the only makeup items I need for on-the-go. So, the rest of the bag contains those "emergency" items: band aids, mints, anti-bacterial hand gel, small hairbrush, nail file, etc. 
So, these are my handbag essentials for Fall. From U by Kotex and Kleenex Slim packs to basics like Sunglasses and a Makeup Bag, I think I have all bases covered for Fall-time (and anytime!). I would love to hear about what you like to stock your bag with this time of year. :)

Details About U by Kotex:
U by Kotex CleanWear pads:
• Have the new 3D Capture Core that quickly draws in and locks away wetness
• Feminine pads with super soft sides for your comfort
• Uniquely shaped pads with wings for a secure fit that helps prevent bunching
• Unscented ultra-thin sanitary pads for women (free of artificial scents and fragrances). Easy-open wrappers in four colorful designs



Limited Edition U by Kotex packaging with Kleenex Slim Packs:
For a limited time, you can get the U by Kotex pads and tampons with a special bonus pack of Kleenex Slim Packs! I picked up these pads at my new local Walmart store. While I was there I found not only an amazing deal on these pads, but also a few other things that I needed. Plus, I must admit that I was impressed that I was asked for help as I was was looking through the wall display of U by Kotex items for the pads that I needed. The sales associate pointed me to the end-cap unit that had a wider assortment of U by Kotex products. Very helpful!

Reverse Signs of Aging with TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel: Review and Giveaway!!!





TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel by Morinda: Reverse Signs of Aging Naturally!
It is time for my follow-up post! Last month I shared my first impressions and product information for Morinda's new TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel. Well, now that I have been using this product for about 6 weeks, I am ready to share my video review. Plus, I have a giveaway for 5 Full-Sized tubes of TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel for 5 lucky winners!!!

Excess sugars in the bloodstream bind with proteins in the skin causing stiffness and inelasticity; impairing the skin's protective function. 

As I mentioned in my previous post, TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel is a glycation-fighting formula in a light moisturizing gel. This product soothes and protects your skin while also repairing stressed or damaged skin and improving your skin's appearance. AGE Therapy gel contains a natural blend of ingredients to fight signs of aging and AGEs: noni, Cornelian cherry, olive leaf, blueberry and cranberry extracts. These natural ingredients work by penetrating into your skin where they dissolve the excess sugars molecules and remove them from your system to stop the formation AGEs.  If you want to hear more details about glycation and how TruAGE works, please be sure to go back and read my First Impressions/Product Info post here.

My Skin:
Before diving into my review and more details about TruAge, let me tell you about my skin type. My skin is classic combo skin: normal-oily in Summer (oil through t-zone) and normal-dry in the Winter. I just turned 40 (almost 2 months ago!). So, I am trying to fight signs of aging. At this point, I pretty much just have fine lines/expresion lines around my eye area. These are most apparent when my skin gets dehydrated. I rarely break out. However, I do get the occasional blemish on my chin.

How I Use TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel:
AGE Therapy Gel has been a great addition to my skincare routine! This product is a clear, unscented, and lightly moisturizing gel. While this product can be used on both body as well as face, I have primarily been using it for facial skincare.


I use AGE Therapy Gel in the mornings and the evenings immediately after washing my face (sometimes I apply toner first and sometimes I do not...just depending on if I am in the "mood" for a toner that day, lol). I follow up in the am with my facial moisturizer/sunscreen and in the evenings with either my treatment products, night cream, or facial serum (serum before night cream). Sometimes I use it in place of a skin serum and sometimes I use it in addition to a skin serum. While this product is hydrating, I do need to use a moisturizer after this product for my combo skin. If you have oily skin, TruAGE Skin Age Therapy Gel could potentially be hydrating enough for you on its own without needing to add a moisturizer. I think that TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel can work for any skintype depending on what products you use with it!

I love how this product sinks in almost instantly. It is like my skin literally "drinks" it right in! The product has such a lightweight feel. It almost feels weightless on your skin. I find that TruAge Skin AGE Therapy Gel has an immediate toning and almost firming/lifting effect to my skin.

I feel that continued use of this product has increased my skin's overall hydration, smoothed my fine lines, improved tone, and has generally improved the appearance of my skin. Using this in addition to my regular moisturizers or daytime creams has certainly enhanced my skin and given it an overall boost. I have found it to be a really easy step to add to your everyday skincare routine. It seems to work well when layered under my other skincare products like my daytime SPF or my night cream. Plus, I love knowing that this product is fighting AGEs while also improving my skins appearance.

The Skinny:
TruAGE Skin AGE Therapy Gel by Morinda is available at Morinda.com and retails for $42.00.

TruAge Skin AGE Therapy Gel: Product Introduction and First Impressions!

Sponsored Post Affiliate Link

I just love trying new and innovative skincare! Today I am sharing product info and first impressions for TruAge's new Skin AGE Therapy Gel. AGE Therapy Gel has a fresh new approach: it works to fight skin damage caused by something called glycation (Advanced Glycation-End Products or AGEs).

TruAge Skin AGE Therapy Gel is a glycation-fighting formula in a light gel. This product soothes and protects your skin while also repairing stressed or damaged skin and improving your skin's appearance.

This is a first impressions review. My plan is to share my initial thoughts on this product as well as product details and brand information with you all today. I just started using this product a couple weeks ago. In another month, I am going to be sharing a video review after using this product for about 6 weeks. So, be sure to check back for that blog post/review...especially since it will include a giveaway for 5 tubes of AGE Therapy Gel, too!

Reverse Signs of Aging Naturally:
Lets talk a bit more about glycation and the impact on your skin. AGE Therapy Gel works to fight the signs of aging caused by glycation. Glycation occurs in your body when excess sugars in the bloodstream bind with proteins in the skin, causing stiffness and inelasticity, while impairing the skin’s protective function. TruAge Skin AGE Therapy gel contains Morinda's TruAge MAX blend of ingredients: noni, Cornelian cherry, olive leaf, blueberry and cranberry extracts. These natural ingredients work by penetrating into your skin where they dissolve the excess sugars molecules (dicarbonylsand remove them from your system. This is glycation prevention. It will stop the formation of those dreaded AGEs.

Excess sugars in the bloodstream bind with proteins in the skin causing stiffness and inelasticity; impairing the skin's protective function. 

Protects, Soothes, Repairs:
AGE Therapy Gel is more than just a lightweight gel. It fights AGEs while also soothing, protecting, and repairing your skin. I have always been a fan of gel-based moisturizers. My skin has typically really responded well to them as they can hydrate well without clogging my pores. I love that this gel formula packs an anti-aging punch in addition to being moisturizing.

What does TruAge Skin AGE Therapy Gel do?
  • Protects: AGE Therapy Gel creates a protective barrier against AGE
    accelerators such as free radicals, environmental damage and moisture loss.
  • Soothes: Oat kernel extract and beta-glucan provide a soothing effect on skin, reduce redness and irritation, and help to strengthen the skin’s barrier function.
  • Repairs: Carnosine has been shown to block AGE damage, protect minor cuts, scrapes and burns, and relieve dry, chapped skin. It also protects and relieves chafed and irritated skin. 

How I use and First Impressions:
As I have mentioned, AGE Therapy Gel is a clear anti-aging gel. I just started using this product and I am already a fan of the lightweight feel of this gel! It feels very soothing on my skin and gives an immediate light hydration boost to my skin while fighting glycation. The product sinks in almost instantly and leaves my skin looking smooth. Plus, this product is not just for the face! You can use it on your entire body.

The Skinny:
TruAge's Skin AGE Therapy Gel is available at the Morinda Online Store. AGE Therapy Gel retails for $42.00 for a 5 fl oz tube. This price is an introductory special offer! So, be sure to visit www.morinda.com to learn more about this amazing product. 

Be sure to check back next month for a full video review of this product! Plus, I will be hosting a Giveaway for 5 full sized tubes of TruAge Skin AGE Therapy Gel!!!

Does this product intrigue you so far? I know that learning about glycation has been new for me! As always, thanks so much for reading!!!
