Spring is so close I can almost smell it!! I can’t wait for soft warm breezes blowing my hair, smelling the lilacs and the jasmine…oh I just can’t wait. Both Marcia and I have been thinking a lot about replenishing and refreshing our stashes for the change of the seasons, and Meijer is the place to do it. I am super lucky because I have a Meijer just about two miles from my house. I prefer going there because I can get my groceries plus any other sundries all in one place.
Meijer recently sent some samples of some of their hair care they have featured for spring. I have a few favorites that are worth considering on your next shopping trip.
If you have teenagers in the houes, you need the L’Oreal Clay Extraordinary Clay hair products. The clay does a great job of absorbing excess oil and dirt, rinsing clean so hair is soft and smells great. What is unique is these products also treat dry ends at the same time. The Extraordinary Clay Clay Mask is a pre-shampoo treatment for roots that works extra deep, giving very oily hair a fantastic lift. And the Dry Shampoo is incredible for turning dirty, oily hair into fresh looking and fresh smelling locks.
We have a lot of guests at my house, so I keep my guest bathroom well stocked. I always have bottles of Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner in my shower because everyone loves this stuff. You can’t go wrong with good, basic hair care with a beautiful lather that detangles hair, leaving it soft and shiny. Yup, everyone is happy.
For those of you with dry and damaged color treated hair, the L’Oreal Color Vibrancy Intensive Shampoo and Conditioner are your answer to those hair care woes. My daughter recently got her hair tips dyed a bright red (and I instantly became the coolest mom to ever live), and this shampoo and conditioner has really helped keep the color super vibrant. Just check this out:
They promise 60 days of color vibrancy, and my daughter is totally put the shampoo and conditioner to the test!
For super gentle care that colored hair loves, the L’Oreal Ever Pure Hair Care features products with no sulfates. This is an especially good line for very dry, porous hair. The Repair Remedy Balm rivals any deep moisturizing treatment I have ever tried, including some extremely expensive boutique brands.
I use a lot of heat styling tools all fall and winter, so I start taking a break from them and letting my hair air dry come spring. In fact, in the summer I never let a curling iron or a blow dryer get close to my hair. I think that’s how I’ve been able to keep my hair long and healthy for so many years. I am impressed with the L’Oreal Air Dry It hair styling products that are excellent companions for those low maintenance hair days. The Un-done Style Cream gives hair shape and body without buildup. Add in a dollop of the Air Dry It Ruffled Body Mousse for extra curl and wave support, plus a spritz of the Air Dry It Wave Swept Spray to fight frizz, and you’ve got beautiful beachy locks with basically no effort.
As beautiful as they are, spring days can also be extremely humid, especially where I live in Michigan. I can’t tell you how many days I spent forever either curling or straightening my hair, only to run from the house to my car and find it’s morphed into a head of frizz that looks like an old dandelion. A favorite hairspray of mine is John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray, which not only hold my hair in place, it also locks out frizz for 24 hours. All I need is 8, and it delivers!
The selection and variety of hair care products in Meijer is fantastic, and they have awesome prices for the spring season. Be sure to stop by and stock up! – Lisa

A bright smile is a terrific way to bring in the new season! For whitening strips, I prefer Crest 3D White. They don’t foam up and taste nasty like other strips I have used. And I always buy Colgate products for toothpaste and mouthwash. I really only like brushing with toothpaste…gel is not for me, and the Optic White really makes teeth look brighter. Meijer has all the dental products I love!
And speaking of staples, I always have these two on hand – the Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus Body Wash is pure luxury…the cleansing foam feel truly decadent. And you can’t go wrong with Olay Regenerist Micro-Scultping Cream. It’s fantastic hydration for your face and neck.
A few more skin care recommendations that you can find on sale next week at the Meijer Fall Beauty Week: for eyes, check out the Olay Eye Lifting Serum. It has cutting edge ingredients including fantastic antioxidants and peptides and I think it’s one of the best drugstore eye serums available. Two other favorites are from Aveeno’s Absolutely Ageless line. The Daily Moisturizer has excellent broad spectrum sun protection, improves skin texture and tone, and is a great moisturizer for those with combination to oily skin. The Restorative Night Cream is another winner, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles while also firming and toning skin. Great stuff!
It’s the end of the summer season and time to refresh your beauty products for fall. Meijer’s annual Fall Beauty Week is coming up – September 11 through the 17th – with tons of products on sale including skin care, cosmetics, and hair care. There are four essential items that you need for your backpack, locker, dufflebag or desk to be sure you look your best while also saving precious time. They will all be on sale during the Fall Beauty Week so get your shopping list started now! samples
