    Hair - 9 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I used 2 boxes for my thick, shoulder length hair, completely saturating it, including scalp! I then piled the hair on top of my head for the recommended time. My SCALP burned like crazy, but I kept on until I rinsed it all out w/ hot water, 27 minutes later. Not happy w/ seeing some breakage. I learned my lesson: don't color scalp! And don't rinse w/ hot water!! Now rinsed and conditioned, my scalp is ok, but any long term damage I should know about ??? (I relaxed my hair 2 months ago, and colored w/ REVLON Color Silk (Dark Brown) a month ago. . . Thank you.

Scents of Summer

5 fabulous new light fragrances ...

By Mariève Inoue
Scents of Summer
Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to trade in your winter fragrance for a lighter, fresher variation. We’ve got five new, unique scents, all of which are a perfect fit for warmer days. Check them out!
Perfume profile: 
Simple & Fresh
Summer is the perfect season to spritz on citrus scents that are invigorating and refreshing, like the new Marc Jacobs Splash – Lemon (Eau de Toilette). With ingredients like mint leaves and verbena in its top notes, you’ll feel revived by this bright, uplifting fragrance. We like to think of it as sunshine in a bottle!
 
$80 (300 ml) at Holt Renfrew
Perfume profile:
Intoxicatingly Floral
A new interpretation of the classic fragrance, Calvin Klein Euphoria Spring Temptation (Eau de Parfum) is a floral delight with a spicy twist. With heart notes like pink lily and freesia petals, and an elegantly feminine bottle design, this scent perfectly suits the girly girl with an edge.
 
$98 (100 ml) at perfume counters
 

Perfume profile:
Exotic & Fruity
If you’re into tropical and sensual scents, take a good whiff of JLO Sunkissed Glow (Eau de Toilette): you may have found a new favourite. With its notes of red grapefruit, pineapple and cassis sorbet, this juicy fragrance reminds us of warm weather and a beautiful beach.
 
$59 (100 ml) in pharmacies and mass retailers
 
 
Perfume profile:
Opulent & Oriental
A fragrance that is both warm and seductive, Estée Lauder Pleasures – Sandalwood Amber Splash is simply enchanting, with its deep blend of sandalwood and amber. Subtle notes of orange and lemon add a fresh touch, making it a lovely choice for the summer season.
 
$65 (240 ml) at Estée Lauder counters
Perfume profile:
Delicate & Powdery
With its crisp and delicate scent, this much lighter take on Lise Watier’s classic Neiges fragrance is perfect for the warm weather. Lise Watier Neiges Eau Légère recalls the purity of snow, with its floral bouquet made up of white flowers like hyacinth and lily of the valley. A refreshing gust of winter air for those scalding summer days!
 
$45 (50 ml) at Lise Watier counters
