Organix To Roll Out Keratin Therapy Collection
Organix expands its hair care range with Ever Straight Brazilian Keratin Therapy ($7.99), an at-home hair straightening system to smooth even the most unruly types of hair, according to the company. As the first to market this salon phenomenon to food, drug and mass retailers, Organix features organic active ingredients in a formaldehyde-free formula, to offer consumers a safe alternative to pricey salon straightening treatments. Made with the same delectable scent as the best-selling Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk collection, this blend of antioxidant rich organic cocoa nut oil along with rich keratin proteins strengthen and soften the hair while organic avocado oils and cocoa butter smooth the cuticle for straight, strong tresses, adding a brilliant glow and luminescent shine.

A Faster White from Crest 3D
For those “last minute” whitening needs, P&G offers new Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips ($54.99, four treatments) and Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Enamel Renewal Toothpaste ($4.25, 4.1oz). Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips contain an innovative thicker ingredient layer, which provides significantly more enamel-safe whitening ingredient that whitens for two hours, while the structure with optimized notches wraps and conforms to teeth for improved wear and comfort.
Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Enamel Renewal Toothpaste removes up to 90% of surface stains in just 14 days. When used daily, not only will you notice a whiter smile, but you will also strengthen and rebuild tooth enamel below the surface, according to P&G.
Pssssst Adds Wavy Hair Version
Pssssst, the dry shampoo for refreshing hair between shampoos, is debuting a transparent version specifically formulated for wavy or curly hair. Pssssst ($6.99), which cleans, deodorizes, refreshes and conditions hair without water, also reduces frizz and does not need to be brushed out, so curls or waves are left perfectly intact. The invisible formula, which contains argan extract, leaves no white residue and is ideal for all hair colors.
Versatile Nude Lipstick From Three Custom Color
Nude lip looks are all over today’s catwalks and red carpets; whether paired with dramatic eyes, bronzed resort skin or a polished neutral palette. However, off the runway, finding the right nude is tricky. So, when celebrity makeup artist Lauren Napier called upon Three Custom Color to create a versatile, slick nude to use on her many clients, the cosmetics marketer was up to the challenge. Napier joined forces with Three Custom Color Specialists co-founder and color expert Chad Hayduk to find the right mix of tones to avoid the typical nude lipstick pit falls—too chalky, too pink, or too yellow. The result: Nude Attitude ($21.50), a creamy, coral-beige in a moist and lustrous, long-wearing texture, according to the company.

Tarte Rolls Out Exotic Oil on QVC
Tarte’s joining in the exotically-sourced miracle oil fray with its Pure Maracuja Oil ($46), recently launched on QVC.
