On the Quest for Beauty: My loyalty will always be to you, Shaper Hairspray!

This blog is dedicated to my husband who sees my imperfections and doesn't mention them.

I love trying new beauty products. Place me in a Sephora or Ulta store and I feel I am in paradise. For hours I can pleasantly entertain myself looking at the plethora of different shampoos, facial washes, makeup and perfumes, envisioning myself as a size 0 with glowing clear skin, no split ends, and being stopped by every man in America asking “What’s that scent you are wearing? (Ok, maybe not EVERY man)

One of my downfalls , as my mother will readily tell you, is that I am a sucker for cool packaging and intriguing ingredients. That inclination has resulted in trying hundreds of different products over the years – good and bad. Some products I have used ever since I was in college and I would rather exit the house with no makeup and hairy arm pits then see my fav end up on the proverbial chopping block. Others I have readily discarded vowing never again to be duped by flowery ingredients which deliver zero results.

Because of my “beauty product love”, I probably have more knowledge roaming around in my head than Wikipedia. So I decided to start this blog to share my adventures with you on the quest for beauty, giving my recommendations and warnings so your money can be well spent. The subject matter may be a tad vain, but ultimately every woman has an innate desire to look and feel her best and there is nothing wrong with that. Happy reading, and if you don’t come for my daily blabberings at least drop by for my contest giveaways that I hope to do every other month.

I have lived in both humid and dry climates, and the one thing I cannot stand is hairspray that either does not have a strong enough hold, is too crunchy or too flaky when combing through your hair. By far, the one product that I have probably been the most loyal to over the years is Shaper Plus Hair Spray by Sebastian. I am so loyal I even named one of my cats Sebastian! I have tried probably 20-30 different hairsprays over my lifetime but nothing compares to this stuff. It holds my hair in place, I can comb through it with ease and its never sticky, even when the air is damp. My loyalty will always be to you. Shaper!

FYI Tip: Its been the opinion of many that there are two different formulas of Shaper floating around. I scoffed at this idea until I bought a can at Nordstrom Rack--and there was something definitely different. To be on the safe side, I would recommend buying Shaper only at a salon.
