L'Oreal Root Rescue Review

L'Oreal Root Rescue is on sale at Zellers for $8.99! I bought a box for my mom to try. The L'Oreal product exceeded my expectations, as well as my mom’s. The product worked perfectly on my mom’s short black hair; it left her hair soft and shiny. The applicator brush makes it quick and easy to apply the product to her hair. Within 10 minutes her grays were evenly and naturally concealed. There was no staining to the scalp and the color blends perfectly with the color she normally uses. She'll definitely recommend L'Oreal Root Rescue and use it again between her colorings.

*The Claims for Glamorous Classic Lipstick - Plum*

 *My Experience with the Lipstick:*

•  Price: $6.00 for 1.5 g
• Pros: A rich and creamy formula that is highly pigmented, smooth to apply, wears comfortably and evenly, and moiturizing . Over time the product doesn't dry out my lips like out products out on the market.  The lipstick is affordable and scentless. 
• Cons: No SPF protection and not long-lasting

Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund Donation

 On March 11 one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history shook the north coast of Japan, resulting in a tsunami that swept as far as 10km inland. Thousands of buildings have been affected, and the death toll is estimated at over 10,000. We're deeply saddened by the loss of life due to the tsunami, and although initial reports have stated that Japan's sound construction techniques limited the number of casualties due to the initial earthquake, the overall results of the tsunami are still unknown.

Swagbucks is currently running a relief fund for the natural disasters which took place in Japan. They have crossed the $20,000 mark and are still going strong. You can help by donating your swagbucks to aid in relief efforts for Japan in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that hit them two weeks ago. The drive ends on Monday the 2nd of May at 12pm PDT. The donation page can be found here: http://swagbucks.com/p/prize/24705/Japan-Earthquake-Tsunami-Relief-Fund-Donation
