Beautyfix 2: Jonathan Product Finish Control

Strange for a beauty blogger to say, but I hate hairspray. Seriously. Much to the chagrin of my stylist, I wave off the gels and sprays each time I get a cut. I find crunchy, stiff product utterly repulsive. In my humble opinion, how hair feels is equally important to how it looks.

This is the very reason I am loving Jonathan Product Finish Control. To call it "hairspray" is to insult the genius of the product. Finish Control is the weightless, flexible, non-sticky hold I've been searching for eternally. It even controls those pesky little fly-away hairs. Now I just have to remember to USE it more often! Old habits die hard…

Jonathan Product Finish Control Hairspray retails for $30. You can buy Finish Control as part of the Spring Beautyfix kit, or individually at Beauty.com or Sephora.com.

Beautyfix 2: Global Goddess I Divine Eyeshadow

Raging Rouge and Global Goddess go way, way back. In fact, Global Goddess reviews were among my first posts on the Raging Rouge beauty blog, and Shalini Vadhera (world-renowned makeup artist and illustrious founder of Global Goddess Beauty) was my very first interview!

I was thrilled to get the chance to sample Global Goddess I Divine Eyeshadow. Included in the second installation of Beautyfix, I got to test-drive this shadow in Aishwarya (yes, named after incredibly gorgeous Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai). Aishwarya is a deep plum shade of brown with a hint of golden shimmer (not the shadow pictured). Global Goddess refers to I Divine shadow as "makeup that mends". Why? This eyeshadow is infused with White Tea, so it simultaneously delivers anti-aging benefit and amazing color! The high-pigment shadow feels like silk, and imparts creaseless, all-day wear.

I Divine Eyeshadow can be purchased as part of the Spring Beautyfix kit, or click HERE to buy it for $18 from Global Goddess.
