Does your child have curly hair? Mixed Chicks has created a line of products for kids with curly hair. Made with nourishing ingredients, the products condition and restore hair, keeping it healthy. Each one is designed to help make hair manageable and tangle free.

The lovely people at Mixed Chicks sent over a selection of kids' shampoo, conditioner and detangler to try. Now, I will say that both my children's hair is straight, with slight body. But, they both are not fans of getting their hair combed. The act usually results in several "ow mom!"s. Lately, my Mixed Chicks Kids Tangle-Tamer has been my secret weapon. I tell them I am getting the "spray" and they instantly relax. Bonus: the scent is amazing. It's lightweight and sweet, but not too sweet.

Mixed Chicks Shampoo for Kids is tear-free and sulfate-free - gentle and safe and a formula I feel good about my kids using. I've been using Mixed Chicks Kids Conditioner on my daughter's ends and found it to be an effective way to keep hair smooth and tangle-free.

Products retail for $13 each and can be bought online at MixChicks.net.

Giveaway! Does the Mixed Chicks Kids Hair Collection sound like something you'd like to try for your kids? We are excited to giveaway a set just like the one featured above. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with your favorite curly-or-straight hair beauty tip. I know you'll love these products for your kiddos!

A winner will be selected via Random.org on 2/25. US residents only. Good luck!

Is your guy a cologne guy? Well, mine's not. Ever since I've known him, he's preferred eau de soap and water. It's not that he against men's fragrance, it's just that when it comes to grooming and fashion, he'd rather spend time picking out a trendy new watch or strategizing his Movember facial hair instead of selecting a signature fragrance for himself.

So, what does a soap-and-water guy who's not opposed to men's cologne and regularly participates in Movember think of the four new fall fragrances I'm reviewing for a styleguyde.com giveaway this week? See his responses and find out how to enter to win one for your own man, here.

I was intrigued when the folks at Prtty Peashun contacted me to do a review. What was this product with the unique name? Well, it was just what I needed to get glowing skin during the last days of Seattle's summer. Prtty Peashun's light-reflecting formula glides onto skin, creating an illuminating and smoothing effect. Created by celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, Prtty Peashun Skin Tight Body Lotion is made with natural ingredients and comes in an understated packet.

Available in five shades - there is something for every skin tone. I chose medium and it is perfect. I love to use it whenever I am wearing a dress or skirt, to smooth out skin and add a subtle glow to my legs. It smells good, and I like knowing that the ingredients are vegan. The formula does take some time to dry, so be careful if wearing a white skirt - the color could transfer.

I've had the 8 oz packet for a month now, and still have quite a lot. A little goes a long way. You learn more about Prtty Peashun and shop at PrttyPeashun.com.

For the last several weeks, I've been holding out on a little skincare secret. Nothing intentional - every day I use these products and think, I need to tell my readers about this stuff! Well, here it is: Eclos Beauty is a line of anti-aging skin care products that uses plant-based Apple Stem Cells. (Apple?!) These amazing little things help delay signs of aging and keep skin looking fresh and awake. All plusses in my book.

I received a little kit, pictured above, with sample-sized goodies from the Eclos collection. The line, owned by Freeman Beauty features everything from facial cleansers to eye creams. Each product contains the Apple Stem Cells, among other natural ingredients that promise to create a more youthful appearance.

Here is what I love about the products:
Lightweight formulas: My skin is sensitive, and quite fussy. Eclos products go on light and absorb quickly, nothing feels heavy or weighed down.
Natural Ingredients: The products are paraben, sulfate, synthetic fragrance and synthetic dye-free.
Scent: Totally not overpowering, a breezy scent that makes you feel like you are using skincare, not perfume.
Price: Eclos products cost way less than your typical anti-aging skincare line.
Results: After several weeks of use, I truly feel like my skin is tighter and more refreshed.

Giveaway!

Want your own Eclos set to try? One lucky reader will win a package that includes Eclos Facial Cleanser Skin Prep, Cellular Activator Face Serum, Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream, Restorative Eye Cream, Instant Radiance Facial Scrub, Skin Renewal Clay Mask and a Terry Cloth Headband. Each of the following gets you one entry. Leave a comment below letting me know how you entered:

1) Tweet "I want to try @EclosBeauty from @Skinnypurse: http://bit.ly/Syb1qr"

2) Like Skinnypurse on Facebook and post on our wall about the contest.

I'll announce a winner on Monday, October 1st. In the meantime, enjoy a 25% discount on Eclos products with code eclos25 at FreemanBeauty.com.

I just had a birthday and have to admit, I'm feeling a little, well, old. I still feel young at heart, but nevertheless, I'm starting to see signs of aging - mainly in the form of tiny wrinkles around my eyes. Sometimes anti-aging products can feel harsh, a bit extreme. So, I was excited to learn about CLAIRVOYANT Beauty, a line of products that use natural ingredients to fight signs of aging.

Created in 2010 by former actress, model and activist Lexie Masterson, CLAIRVOYANT Beauty was born out of a desire to use age-old remedies combined with modern science. Sharing an almost psychic connection with her grandmother Josephine (Gogo), Lexie developed her line of natural beauty products. Formulated in small batches, there is no need for chemical preservatives as with other products.

The line contains a wide selection of scrubs, creams, cleansers and toners, all with lightweight, high-quality formulas that deliver results. I have been using many of the products for the last couple months and have to say I have seen a difference in my skin. My skin is I guess delicate/sensitive in areas but oily in others, so something that can deal with this combination is the only thing that works. I usually try to space out the days between using anti-aging or scrubbing products, but I have been able to use Clairvoyant products every day, without irritation.

They also recently launched a floral-citrus fragrance containing top notes of Bergamot and Lime; middle notes of Rose, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang; and base notes of Tobacco Absolue, Fir Absolue and Green Cognac. As you can imagine, it smells pretty nice! Fragrance is so personal, but CLAIRVOYANT is designed to be layered so you can get the desired intensity of scent. I personally have been loving this on the weekends, when I don't want to wear a heavy perfume. It is also natural, made from Organic corn alcohol.

CLAIRVOYANT is available at ClairvoyantBeauty.com

Giveaway! Win a Spring Forward collection from CLAIRVOYANT Beauty! Update: We are giving away 25 kits! The kit includes:

*Fabulous Facial Cleanser – An oil-based cleanser that draws out impurities and replenishes moisture with absolutely no greasy after-feel. Suitable for all skin types – even oily!

*Refreshing Cucumber Facial Toner – This toner is completely natural – made from the juice of real cucumbers – so the skin drinks in the veggie’s long list of healthy benefits with just a few spritzes daily. “As the weather warms up, try keeping this refreshing toner in your fridge,” recommends Masterson. “Just one quick spritz cools you down, helps restore skin’s balance and refreshes the body and mind.”

*Light & Refreshing Cucumber Cream - Packs an additional dose of cucumber’s natural salt, enzymes and vitamins stimulates cell growth, strengthens connective tissue and provides hydration all day long without being greasy.

*Gentle & Healing Rosewater Eye Cream - The perfect remedy for skin that needs a little extra help to soften the lines and creases around the eye.

As a bit of a self-proclaimed beauty junkie, it’s always gratifying to find products that don’t cost an arm and a leg. One brand that has always offered affordable yet effective beauty products is Freeman Beauty Labs. Freeman has been a drugstore staple for over 30 years. I’ve been using their lotions since high school. They boast a wide selection of skin and body care products, as well as hair care items. They are also the makers of the wildly famous Pssssst…. Dry shampoo for hair. Using natural botanicals, items in the Freeman line smell divine.

Freeman Beauty Labs sent me a fun little beauty kit filled with products from their Feeling Beautiful skin line which contains natural extracts from fruits, oats and botanicals. I’ve always been a fan of their Cucumber Facial Peel-Off mask, it smells yummy, is lightweight and leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. As with any peel off mask, you just have to remember to really rinse your face, as sometimes little bits can be left behind.

Also included was the Avocado and Oatmeal facial clay mask. My skin is oily in areas and dry in others. Clay has always been an effective ingredient in my skin care regime, as it unclogs pores and draws out impurities. Oatmeal helps reduce redness in irritated skin. Avocado softens skin in the most amazing way. This mask is a must-have for anyone who has combination skin.

Finally, their Chocolate and Strawberry Facial Clay Mask was also included. Again, the clay helps to deep-clean skin and the strawberry has some exfoliating properties. This is a great mask to use regularly as it does not dry skin. My only issue would be the scent – it’s nice but the chocolate is slightly overpowering. I prefer the scent of the avocado/oatmeal mask. However, I will definitely still use this since I liked how it made my skin feel.

Freeman Beauty Labs products can be found at most major drugstore chains, and everything is super affordable. The masks above sell for under $4 for the regular size and $2 for the travel size. You can also shop their entire line and save 25% off your purchase with code BLOGGER25 at FreemanBeauty.com.

Giveaway!

Freeman Beauty Labs is giving away a travel kit choc full of beauty essentials to one lucky Skinnypurse reader. The kit includes everything you need to do a mini-spa treatment at home. You’ll get:

- The 3 masks I tried: Freeman Feeling Beautiful Cucumber Facial Peel-Off Mask, Freeman Feeling Beautiful Chocolate and Strawberry Facial Clay Mask and Freeman Feeling Beautiful Avocado and Oatmeal Facial Clay Mask
- A Freeman Beauty hand towel
- A Pssssst… Shower Cap

All of this wrapped up in an adorable hanging travel case. A $19.99 value.

To Enter, simply leave a comment below with the Freeman Beauty product you'd most like to try, or your current favorite. A winner will be chosen on March 25th. Good luck!

For years, Linea Pelle has been one of my favorite brands. The designs are consistently on trend and the quality superb. My first Linea Pelle bag was the Dylan Zipper Tote in Green, which I wrote about in my post on how to clean a leather handbag. I still love it and use it a ton. Not only is the washed leather soft and durable, but the style is a classic - a design still being offered. Since the Dylan bag, I've gone on to curate a selection of LP wallets, clutches, bags, belts and bracelets. All, with an undeniable style and quality about them that keep me coming back.

I am thrilled to share a handbag giveaway with Skinnypurse readers! Linea Pelle has partnered with me to give away a Jade Croco Large Speedy in Wine to one lucky reader!

An embossed croco design sets the Linea Pelle Jade Croco Speedy bag apart from the rest. The soft italian suede is heat embossed to allow some of the naked leather to come through to the surface, creating a beautiful texture. Measuring 9"h x 15.5"l with an 11" handle drop, the bag features both interior and exterior pockets. Plenty of room for all your essentials. To check out the Jade Croco Speedy or other Linea Pelle goodies, visit their Valentine's Day Gift Shop!

This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.

With Fall at our fingertips, now is the perfect time to stock up on denim. Express has all the women's jeans  you need to keep warm this season, including two of my favorite styles, skinny and flare jeans.

Skinny jeans are a cool weather essential. Top with a chunky knit sweater and tuck into boots for a casual look, or pair with a long-sleeved silky blouse and booties for a work-appropriate outfit. With Skinny jeans, the possibilities are endless and the cut is flattering on most body types. This season, colored denim is a major trend, so don't be afraid to throw on a pair to brighten up your look. The red skinny jeans pictured above would look amazing with a classic leopard print top and blazer.

Another style that is making a major comeback is the flare jean. From micro-flares to wide-leg bell bottoms, these jeans are made modern by having a narrower cut through the thigh. As a general rule of thumb with denim, go for a light wash for casual looks and darker for more dressy occasions. Express offers a ton of flare options in many washes, and all are affordably priced under $100!

For a limited time, you can win a pair of your own because Express is giving away 50 free pairs of jeans! Enter the Express giveaway for a chance to win your own!

What are your favorite Express jeans for Fall? Which style would you want to win? Legging jeans, skinnies, flares, wide-leg? Let us know in the comments!
