Marco Pelusi Haircare Products

February 6, 2013

I was recently contacted by a pr firm to sample and review some haircare products designed to revitalize and protect color treated hair.  Because I color my hair at home, I was anxious to try products that might improve the health and appearance of my hair.


I was sent two different products from a West Hollywood, California salon called Marco Pelusi.  The world renowned hair color expert created the Marco Collagen Color Guard Haircare System for colored and chemically treated hair.  These collagen products are the first ever specifically formulated to prevent premature color fade. 

1.  The first I received is the Anti-Frizz Leave-In Conditioner with Collagen Color Guard.  I received a nice 8 ounce bottle with a pump dispenser.  The bottle retails for $35.25.

Description from the Marco Pelusi website:

This signature product is an exclusive anti-frizz formula that repairs, restores and rebuilds, leaving the hair and scalp comforted and protected. An ultra luxurious, light and airy leave-in conditioner expressly formulated to replenish the hair’s own natural reserves to boost condition, as well as haircolor longevity, vitality and tone. Tames curly, coarse hair while allowing for easy comb-thru and a smooth, healthy appearance.
  • naturally derived from coconut, cetrimonium chloride is the most potent anti-frizz element available to moisturize and neutralize static electricity; effects last for up to 72 hours even when rinsed with water
  • usp grade vitamin e, one of the most powerful antioxidants available from nature, protects the hair from hostile environmental factors, including pollution, aging and stress
  • apricot essential oils fight dryness and cell dehydration
  • natural moisturizing factors, including sodium pca, volumize the hair


And the verdict is:

I’ve used this product for approximately 3 weeks so far.  I used it twice weekly after shampooing my hair.  I probably would have preferred a different fragrance in the product.  This had a strong scent.  However, the scent disappeared as soon as my hair was dry.  My hair was definitely frizz free and shiny after drying my hair and flat ironing.  I received many compliments on the shine in my hair, including many viewers of my YouTube videos.  The price for this product is comparable to better salon brands.


2.  The second product that I used was the Color Smooth Gloss.  I received a 2 ounce bottle.  Retail price is $25.25.

Description from the Marco Pelusi website:

Hair radiance and sheen are immediately restored with a crystal clear “liquid gold” finish
  • vitamin e usp prevents hair from premature color fade and aging
  • finest ingredients, including highest quality grade silicones, seal in color and moisture, help reduce static while detangling and offer UVA/UVB sunscreen protection.
  • water solubility prevents build up and allows haircolor to sparkle with the purest clarity
And the verdict is:
I used this product after my hair was dry and straightened.  I just put a very small amount in the palms of my hands and rubbed it through my hair.  My hair was shiny and frizz free.  It still had lots of movement and wasn’t weighed down by the product.  The price for this product is comparable with other better salon brands.  A very small amount is all that is needed therefore this bottle will last for several months.
I would recommend both of these products for shiny frizz free hair.  The products are available in travel size (good to try them out) and full size.  Visit their website for more information or to purchase products.  Use code MARCO10%OFF to receive 10% off your order.

One dress that can pretty much be worn year round… yes, please! Just change the shoes and accessories and create a whole new look. #ad 

In the meantime, I’m loving this versatile style from @coldwatercreek that can be worn to brunch or lunch, to the office, or even for a night out on the town this Fall season.

It’s a soft knit that couldn’t be more comfortable. It looks great styled with a belt too.

Just a few vacation highlights while we were able Just a few vacation highlights while we were able to enjoy some sunny outdoor fun.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
