Meant to be savored like vintage port or fine cognac, this strong, rich, uncarbonated dark beer is best served as a two-ounce pour at room temperature in a snifter glass.

Keratin Blowout by Kylie Hogan @ Lux Studio
Comprised of hair-healthy components such as keratin, lipids, amino acids, and the botanical extra acai, the treatment is designed specifically to reduce frizziness in hair, and is perfect for those with chemically treated and/or damaged hair. The Keratin Blowout strengthens and conditions your hair as the keratin works to fill in the hair cuticle (aka the root of your hair). The treatment allows your hair to keep its natural texture, with just a subtle change. For instance, if you have curly hair, you’ll likely notice that the result is a softer curl or wave. The point of this treatment is not to have stick-straight hair; the point is to have frizz-free, silky hair.
