You'll feel like strutting your stuff and showing the world what you got when wearing Playboy's Play It Rock Eau de Toilette that I was recently sent to review.  This utterly feminine fragrance created in 2011 by perfumer, Guillaume Flavigny, is both mysterious and seductive with an exotic bouquet of floral and spice as it comes to life.  

This alluring scent starts out sweetly teasing with blood orange, candy apple, and saffron until it warms with passion flower, frangipani, and orange blossom and turns sultry.  And yet, the mix gives the scent a heated energy all its own.     

Once the black ebony, vanilla bean, patchouli, and fleur de Cuir take to root, the hot fragrance becomes fiery, uninhibited, and bursting with nonstop confidence and sexuality.  Think daring and unstoppable as you make your mark on hearts everywhere.

The vivid red box itself speaks volumes with a snake-skin design suiting any glam rocker.  Even the light red tint of the fragrance itself reflects the awaiting fire set to burn once you remove the familiar Bunny head from the bottle.

Playboy's Play It Rock  will definitely give you center stage like the rock star you are with that bold and edgy vibe that demands attention.

I honestly loved the intense energy this vibrant fragrance has while keeping it ultra feminine at the same time. 

Do discover Play It Rock for yourself and walk on the wild side!  This fragrance comes in Eau de Toilette in the 30ml,  50ml, 75ml or a perfumed deodorant. Check it out at Playboy Fragrances.

Redken 5th Avenue Color Extend Sun Hair Care Line Review & Giveaway!--Ends August 15, 2011

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**


The hair miracle workers at Redken 5th Avenue have developed new products to help defend your hair from sun damage with their Color Extend Sun Hair Care Line.  You can say a good-bye to sun-fried hair now and in the future with these three fantastic products that I recently tested for this review and giveaway.

Let me start by saying how thrilled I was to learn about this new system since it means I can go hatless if I prefer and stop worrying about ruining my hair in the sun or when swimming  from salt or any chlorine.  Now how great is that bit of news!

I do have a large brimmed straw hat that I wear when spending extended time in the sun.  However, though my hat is pretty with ornate trimming and a slight slant to the brim, I sometimes neglect to wear it when I have an exceptionally good hair day and hate to crush it.  Vanity can leave you with a problem of straw-like hair before you know like it did with mine again until these products arrived.

The Color Extend Sun Hair Care Protection Line has a special Interbond Conditioning System and an Advanced Hydra-Shield Complex with Soplexyl, which later I discovered does amazing things quickly for crispy, color-treated hair like mine with unbeatable continuous protection even once it's rinsed out while returning the lost moisture and incredible gloss back to your hair.

Once my box arrived I went to work on my damaged hair that was lifeless and crunched when touched so I grabbed the Color Extend Sun After-Sun Shampoo.  I loved the fantastic fragrance of this product in this rich formula and followed with the award-winning Color Extend Sun After-Sun Mask, the deep conditioning treatment with mango oil and ceramide to revive that mass of straw that was on my head.

I used the maximum amount of time of 15-minutes to keep the After-Sun Mask on my hair before rinsing out.  Once I finished drying my hair, I felt new vitality return.

The next day I used the Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12 Spray first before going out in the sun to see how my hair would hold up.  The instructions mentioned applying it to dry or slightly damp hair thirty minutes before going outdoors.  I am glad to report when I returned home my hair still felt as soft as before I left.

I washed again with the After-Sun Shampoo and followed once more with the After-Sun Mask and my hair became even softer with a more magnificent shine. 

In fact, I can honestly report that with each use of these three products, the more glorious my hair looked!

Pureology Hydrate Shampoo, Conditioner and HydraCure Review + GIVEAWAY!--Ends July 5, 2011

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

This system returns moisture for dry, damaged hair.


Color-treated hair often is more vulnerable to the sun, blow-dryers, styling tools, and other chemical process than virgin hair.   If you are not careful, you can lose that luster and turn that beautiful hair into straw.  However, Pureology has the perfect solution to return the moisture and brilliance to your abused hair with products from their beauty award nominated Hydrate line.

I was sent their Hydrate Shampoo, Conditioner and HydraCure Intense Moisture Hair Masque to test for this review and giveaway.  My color treated hair felt more brittle to touch after I spent a weekend outdoors in the sun at the flea market.  I did a stupid thing and forgot to wear a hat.  Fortunately, the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner helped soften and care for my hard hair without any sulfates while treating me to some aromatheraphy even before I experimented with the Hydrate HydraCure

With such dramatic improvement, it is easy to understand why Hydrate products are nominated as best shampoo and conditioner (the light version) in their class for the 7th Natural Health Beauty Awards 2011 with their organic botanicals, multiweight protein complex, and advanced hydrating micro-emulsion technology.

Later I tried the Hydrate HydraCure Intense Moisture Hair Masque to see what other amazing feat Pureology could do to top the Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner.  Let me tell you that my hair never looked or felt more healthy or beautiful than after using this luxurious rich blend of shea, jojoba, mango, and avocado butters. 

Their Hydrate line has to be my favorite Pureology group of products that I tested so far.  If you want pretty, soft hair again, then you need to try this line on your own hair.  Honestly, you will love what these products can do for you.

Vote for Pureology in the 7th Natural Health Beauty Awards 2011 and also be entered to win $350 worth of the top 24 best products of the year! 

*Disclaimer:  This is my own honest opinion.  No money was exchanged.  All I received were free products so I may make an opinion.*

Thanks to Pureology, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the United States win a full size Hydrate Shampoo, one of the Hydrate Conditioners and the Hydrate HydraCure Intense Moisturize Hair Masque ($114 value)!
