Moroccanoil All in One Leave-in Conditioner
As one of the products most requested by the Moroccanoil community –stylists and customers–, it was a no-brainer to add the All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner to the Moroccanoil hair care line. With innovation and care residing at the brand’s core, this is a product that will prep your hair for effortless styling, both in the salon and at home (while we wait for salons to re-open).
The formula? Rich in argan oil, amino acids, and naturally derived superfoods. This milky treat replenishes your strands, prevents moisture loss while improving hair’s manageability and protecting against breakage and thermal damage. I’m feeling this will be a must in our beach bags sooner rather than later!

Loungeface Lash
Heard of Lauren Curtis before? This time around, she’s coming with what looks like it will be our go-to makeup for the rest of 2021. Wondering why the hype? This is a no-smudge tubular mascara made to volumise, lengthen, lift, and define lashes for an even and buildable look. Just like magic, Lauren’s mascara extends the length of each lash, and with each coat, you apply, the thicker your lashes will become. A massive yes for those not gifted with voluminous lashes! But that’s not even it, thanks to the longwear, water-resistant formula life tested for Lauren herself. This mascara also withstands sweat, humidity and prevents panda eyes (Thank you, @lozcurtis!) from taking you straight to the highly desired no-smudge zone.
For the illusion of bigger eyes, pull the wand upwards instead of outwards and apply it to the first 3/4 of your lash line. The final 1/4 should follow the natural direction of your lashes. This is one of Lauren top tricks to make the most out of your Loungeface Lash.
RRP $29.00
