Luxe Lounge Reviewer: Aurelia Product: Color & Soin Hair Dye by 3 Chenes What I Love: Like clockwork, about every three weeks, I’ll catch a glimpse of something shiny in my hair mid-comb stroke. It takes roughly two seconds for me to realize the shiny thing isn’t in my hair, it is my hair. The gray: It kind of sneaks up on you before it takes over. Then you’re left with agonizing decision-making. How do you grow it if you wanted to? Is shaving your head necessary, or are there people out there who actually suffer through months and even years of half-and-half head, before ultimately deciding that they don’t look good in gray anyway? While mulling over these and other very important questions, I do what I always do: Tackle the roots. My new favorite hair dye for the job is French drugstore brand 3 Chenes (also sold in American natural food stores and online.) Besides matching my original hair color (medium golden brown), I love that it doesn’t contain ammonia or any animal products, and isn’t tested on animals. |

Meet the Luxe Lounge Ladies:Product-loving women who are invested in the idea of healthy living, plant-based eating, and cruelty-free beauty. They hereby swear to only offer their honest, unbiased reviews, and to only recommend products that they themselves would purchase and use on their own bodies. Jacqui grew up in Latin America surrounded by beautiful landscapes, gorgeous beaches, and lovely people. She learned at a young age that you can make your own beauty products with simple ingredients like lemon, vinegar, papaya, and raw sugar. Her mom is well known for her perfectly arched Liz Taylor eyebrows, a skill Jacqui did not inherit and has yet to perfect.
Product Obsession: I have two--one I pay for: Sonage's Harmony, botanical glycol. Skin looks brighter and smoother! The other is free: An inner smile, which I'm convinced will keep you wrinkle-free longer! Melissa gets a thrill every time she enters a Sephora, duty-free cosmetics shop, or even the local drug store (and in her current neighborhood, that just happens to be a super chic Pharmaca). She can spend hours perusing nail polish (the sparklier the better) and eyeshadow (she's always on the quest for the perfect shade of purple). Moisturizer with SPF, liquid liner, mascara, and lip gloss are her beauty essentials.
Product obsession: My oil-blotting papers from Yojiya. They come in the tiniest little package so they're super portable, but instantly tame any shiny spots. Aurelia has been crazy about skin creams since the age of 12, when she began reading fashion magazines and fretting about future wrinkles. Today, she's still a sucker for serums, moisturizers, and anti-wrinkle creams, which she uses alongside adult-acne ointments (no magazines touched that subject!) and hyperpigmentation treatments (all-natural, of course).
Product Obsession: Definitely perfume. I never leave home without a spritz of my signature scent, Diorella. Categories
