One morning after using the Rejuvenating Moisture Mist on dry bed head hair (3 day hair) that had no life to it before.

My hair is naturally wavy (my Brazilian genes gave me that!) but it can get frizzy really easily like in the photo above. Sometimes I just want a more structured wave without it looking crunchy...

My waves were fuller here but I wasn't using Ecru yet and it was still a little frizzy. Photo by Graham Scott.

In this photo I have the wave and curl I love. Defined but still looking natural and not like there's too much product in.  Photography by Francisco Graciano.

Hi there! 

I am so happy Ecru New York and I became acquainted at Fashion Week. The team of women I met were so wonderful and I have now been able to try out the product I was sent and can tell you how much I really LOVE it!  

The velvet air lipstick is amazing. It goes on smoothly and stays on, and can be shiny or matte depending on whether you swipe it with a finger after applying. The color I got, plumberry, you can see in the photos below is a gorgeous berry lip (hot on the runways for fall) and I just loved it. The runway lash amplifying mascara is one of the best mascaras I've ever used. It has a curved wand and the product makes your lashes long and voluminous and stays on, even when I sweat or go in water! People have been asking me if I have fake lashes and I tell them no, they are all real!

Now as for the hair products, if you take a look at the photos above you can see that the Curl Essentials Kit includes the hydrating shampoo, anti-frizz conditioner, defining styling potion and rejuvenating moisture mist. These products are silicone sulfate and paraben free (which is important to me) but they lather unlike other paraben-free shampoos and conditioners I've tried before. They are also color safe. I've yet to dye my hair but that is really good to know. They smell wonderful and the product works by leaving my hair smooth and tamed of frizz with volume and defined curl without looking greasy or crunchy. My waves and curl look natural but with definition. I am in LOVE with these products! Head to the Ecru New York site for yours!

With love,

Carolina
