El Hub threatened to revolt over my hoarding of hairstyling products in the bathroom, which he compares to the beauty aisle at Rite Aid :), so in the name of marital harmony, it’s time I find more hair products that multi-task.
My latest discovery: Straight Sexy Hair Smooth & Protect Flat Iron Hairspray ($14).
Like four products in one, it’s a Vitamin B5-packed aerosol to protect hair from flat iron heat damage while smoothing out frizz, adding shine and moisture and imparting soft, touchable hold (smells faintly of coconut). All that, and it works on either dry OR damp hair.

Are you the kind of girl who delights in wearing a different fragrance every day of the week? Clean, a fragrance line known for their light scents and simple aesthetic, sure hopes so. Their new Coffret Set ($65) includes four of their signature scents in 1-oz bottles of eau de parfum.
Almost lighter than air, they make me float away on a fragrance cloud, and I feel like I can wear them anywhere, whether I’m just lounging around the house, going out to dinner with El Hub or attending a function for work.
Despite their lightness of being, each one lasts a good long time on my skin (about six hours). Even though they share similar citrus and floral notes and have the same just-out-of-the-shower vibe, they’re different enough to be distinct.
Speaking of variety, Clean Coffret oozes with possibilities. I like to layer them (although they also wear well by themselves), and my current crush involves starting with a layer of Warm Cotton, then adding layer of Shower Fresh topped with Simply Soap.
By itself, Shower Fresh reminds me of a pristine tropical waterfall; Clean is like crisp grapefruit, and Warm Cotton brings to mind fresh laundry, set outside to dry in the sun.

Yikes, this day is flying by so fast! I can’t believe it’s already lunch time. I think I’m gonna nibble on a PB&J while I take a trip down memory lane. Remember these posts from one and two years ago on MBB?

P.S. What did you have for lunch today?

The giveaway is now closed, and I’m contacting the winner by e-mail. Good luck!
Desperately seeking volume? Come hither, my flat-haired friends.
This week the follicle fiends at Redken sent me some preview products from Body Full, their new hair care line to cleanse, condition and style baby fine hair.
But since my mane lives more at the unruly/thickeningly out-of-freaking-control end of the hair spectrum, these four lovely ladies will need to find a new home.
Who’s down for a giveaway? 🙂
One beautiful babe will win four items from the Redken Body Full line (a $59 value) — created for ladies (and gents) seeking touchably soft hair with added volume.
Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.
First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post. In it, describe a hair tip/trick you use to pump up your volume.
I spray the roots around my crown with Redken Layer Lift. I feel like it gives my layered hair an extra boost up top.
Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:
RT @karenmbb: RT to win Redken Body Full hair care (a $59 value) http://bit.ly/7n2CQ4
I’ll pick the winner at random from among the people who enter by 11:59 p.m. PST on Friday, November 27.
Ke o lakaletsa mohlohonolo!!
