Lucia Iraci

No, this is not a perfume review. I just felt like making an exception to the rule and talk about hair care. After all, March and Patty talk about eye make-up and foundation, so I figured I’d be excused, too. Today I want to rave about Lucia Iraci line. I received some of the hair care samples in my Beautyhabit order (who are always super generous with samples!) and after just one try, I had to order the full sizes. According to Beautyhabit, Lucia Iraci has over 20 years of hairstyling experience and “her range of hair care is based upon her profound knowledge of traditiional Mediterranean plants and their uses along with her passion for treating the hair and scalp in its entirety.” Good quality hair products are essential for me. I have very fine (despicably so!) hair that also tends to get oily at the roots. On top of everything, I also shed quite a bit of it – how I haven’t gotten bald yet is a mystery. So, here’s what I’ve tried and adored from the Lucia Iraci line:

Ocean Dream Shampoo for Fine Hair – besides doing everything a shampoo should do, it smells amazing! Cardamom oil and myrtle extract – how can it not smell amazing?

Silk Detangling Baume with Lemon Pip Essential Oil – awesome texture and a Mediterranean-lemony scent. It detangles everything there is to detangle and leaves my hair super soft.

Cleansing Masque with Mediterranean Garden Lavender Essential Oil – I don’t usually do masks/deep conditioners on my hair but this one is specifically designed for oily hair, and I had a sample, so what the heck, I tried it. Mamma mia! I feel like I got a whole new head of hair! Well, the head is the same, the hair is clearly not my own.

So, I highly recommend this line, especially if you’re on the lookout for the next best shampoo/conditioner (which I always am). Even if you’re not and are happily satisfied with your Head & Shoulders, you should still try it, for the scents alone. If I haven’t convinced you yet, the products are available exclusively at Beautyhabit (in the U.S.), and their packages are out of this world – that is a good enough reason in itself.

Orris Noir – The Name

I just found out the meaning behind the name of Orris Noir. From the press release: “The Iris flower is named after the Greek Goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of the Gods and the Black Iris of Amman is the Royal symbol of the Kings of Jordan. Thriving in a landscape of ample sun, it is a rich, purple black flower of smouldering beauty.” Also, the notes have been slightly updated below. What can I say… this just makes me love it even more! 50 ml of parfum is priced at £112, and 50 ml of eau de parfum – £58.
