Boost Your Color with John Frieda's New Glosses

John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Color Glaze has been a staple in my shower for at least the past five years.  As a brunette who likes to deepen her color every few months, I live for glosses in between dye jobs.  Not only do they help enrichen my color once it begins to fade, but they also keep my hair shiny.  That's why when I heard that the brand was launching new and improved at-home glosses I jumped at the chance to test them out. Here's why you should, too.

The version I'm used to using was sort of like a one-size-fits-all.  If you had brown hair, you used the Brilliant Brunette Color Glaze.  While it worked to coat my strands by depositing a temporary medium brown shade, it had a warmth to it that brought out reddish undertones in my hair. Let's face it, after a dye job oxidizes, reddish undertones look better than washed out hair color.  I was satisfied... until my next dye job.

Now, the updated glosses mimic their in-salon treatments and are customized to suit your hair color and tone.  I use the Colour Refreshing Gloss for cool brunettes in between dyes and it enriches my color just a bit while canceling out the redness so I'm able to keep my hair color in check in between dye appointments.  Plus, it has all of the shine benefits.  These new glosses come in six different shades: warm and cool versions for brunettes, blondes and red heads.

Mark Garrison Cut & Color Giveaway

This week my best friend and I were treated to blow outs at the Mark Garrison Salon on East 60th St. in NYC.  (I know, rough job).  Known for being a master artist with a pair of sheers, I was a little upset with myself that I wouldn't let him put his scissors anywhere near my new extensions, but I was lucky enough to have him give me a blowout (that's now on it's 3rd day). My best friend Adrienne and I couldn't help but notice how attractive he was, but of course assumed he was gay.  Big mistake on my part!  After talking with Amber Katz of BeautyBloggingJunkie last night who had her hair cut by him the same day, I found out I was dead wrong.  Turns out, she had a crush too.  With all of the beauty events I attend, it would be just fantastic to get scooped up by an adorable, straight hair dresser!  I don't know what I'd be more excited about, a new boy or a live in hair dresser.

Want your hair cut and colored by Mark.  Yea, you do!  But make sure you go in dressed to the nines! I'm giving one lucky BeautySweetSpot reader the opportunity to have his hands in your hair (and a great flirting session).  Here's how to win:
