Orofluido Asia - The Zen Beauty Ritual

Orofluido Asia Zen Control is a new beauty ritual based on precious Asian ingredients which perfectly combine the legendary smoothness of tsubaki (camellia) oil for its protective, moisturizing and repairing properties; bamboo extract for its strengthening and elasticity qualities; and rice oil for its antioxidant and vitamin-rich nourishing and smoothing power.

Available in the collection:

Zen Control Shampoo - 200ml - $18.99 - with a rich formula containing panthenol - to lock in moisture, nourish and repair the hair shaft, reduce breakage and reduce split ends and hydrolyzed corn starch - to condition, reduce frizz and tame hair - that instantly creates a creamy lather that provides a soft, smoothing touch to the hair while adding frizz control and increasing hair manageability for beautifully lustrous hair.

Zen Control Conditioner - 200ml - $18.99 - with a frequent use formula that helps control frizz and enhance shine and contains moisturizing agents that repair damaged hair and polish the hair's cuticle to condition hair and leave it soft, smooth and manageable.

Zen Control Mask - 250ml - $24.99 - a luscious rich cream that provides intense conditioning with a polished shine. Contains a complex of whet aminoacids that thoroughly repairs and a keratin protein that conditions the hair surface to combat frizz and leave hair flexible and shiny.

Zen Control Elixir - 50ml - $29.99 - restore hair radiance with a conditioning lightweight leave-in treatment that provides frizz control, flexibility, smoothness and shine to hair by instantly polishing the hair's surface and creating a film that coats the cuticle promoting the reflection of light and significantly increasing gloss and shine as well as creating an anti-humidity shield to control frizz while providing suppleness and manageability without adding any extra weight making it perfect for all types of hair.

Having fine hair myself, I am constantly fighting frizz and trying to bring smoothness back to my hair and this line does such a nice job of it without being the least bit heavy or sticky. I am especially in love with the Elixir - I use just a few drops and comb it through damp hair starting halfway right down to the ends - I avoid the root area during the day but I have been rubbing a bit into my scalp at night - the change in temperature has left me with a dry scalp and this has been helping a lot - it washes out in the morning shower and my scalp feels great!

Not only do I love the way the products make my hair look but the fragrance makes it smell great too - with fruity top notes of red berries and mandarin orange; a floral heart of camellia and white flowers; and a warm base of soft caramel, sandalwood and amber.

TIFF comes to life at the Rev The Red Carpet 2015 Beauty Lounge with CND, Revlon Professional and American Crew!

Revlon Professional Brands was rolling out the red carpet last week with a star-worthy beauty event in honour of TIFF!

I almost didn't make my appointment, security had the street cordoned off for Jessica Chastain and they didn't want to let me through, but when I explained that it was a manicure emergency and that Jessica totally would not want me missing they relented.

I couldn't wait to see the CND Nailbar which featured the CND Aurora Holiday Collection - unsurprisingly, it was way too pretty not to go on my fingers!

I picked a sparkling ice blue - Glacial Mist for my expression finger paired with Couture Covet - a luscious teal cream from the Contradictions Fall Collection.

Along with celebrating the 20th Anniversary of American Crew, the event was also introducing Orofludio Asia - the zen beauty ritual formulated for women with dry, coarse, brittle hair who suffer from frizz, particularly in humid conditions that offers exceptional frizz control, elasticity and smoothness with an enticing blend based on treasured Asian ingredients with a soft texture and an exquisite fragrance specially mixed to stimulate the senses.

Available in the collection is: Zen Control Shampoo, Zen Control Conditioner, Zen Control Mask and my favorite:

Zen Control Elixir -  a lightweight leave-in conditioning treatment that instantly polishes the hair’s surface and creates a film that coats the cuticle, promoting the reflection of light and significantly increasing gloss and shine while creating an anti-humidity shield to control frizziness while providing suppleness and manageability without adding weight. It also contains a UV filter to protect hair from the damaging effects of the sun.

Sadly, Jessica and her fans were gone by the time I left so there was no one there to give autographs to - I would have looked great doing them with my new nails too!
