Flat iron - Long post!!

Hi Beauties,

A little over a month ago I was contact by John of Misikko.com to try out the Hana Professional Flat Iron (the pink version)...ummm, hell yeah!!

Misikko is a website that sells hair products, hair tools, as well as a few non - hair products such as fingernail polish etc.

First off, lets talk about customer service : Exceptional. I had a problem with my package being sent back (LONG STORY), but John was very accomodating and got it sent right back out to me. He was in communication with me the entire time.

Packaging was a dream! I was gifted a teddy bear with the Misikko name, some makeup and fignernail files, hand sanitizer, heat protectant, hair gloss, eye cover (for when you sleep...have no idea what its called! SORRY), extra hair goodies (heat protectant and mist protector) and the flat iron and accessories. Acessories include a heat proof pad & pouch, sturdy but cute storage pouch - all in a metal tin.











Performance: AMAZING! I've used plenty of flat irons in my day and this one takes the cake. Heats up super fast, and my straightening time was reduced. I did burn my fingers a few time as the outside of the flatiron can sometimes get hot.

Price: At $118, it is pretty comprable to other "high end" hair tools.

Bottom Line: I would recommend this website and this flat iron to everyone!!

The Hana flat iron took my hair from this:




to this:

Sephora Shiny Perfect Nude Lipgloss

I picked up this lipgloss after watching one of my favorite YouTubers, MsVaughn. I love her channel because she is super stylish and has the most gorgeous natural hair. Let me just say that I see why she loves this gloss! It is non sticky, non-stinky (has a pleasant vanilla scent) and is a gorgeous nude for brown girls BUT can definitely be used on a variety of skin tones. This gloss doesn’t make me look dead or ashy and is super glossy. LOVES IT! BONUS: It doesn’t give me that filmy white lip like that dreadful MAC lipglass does.





It lasts about 2hours before I need to reapply. Is that average for a lipgloss? How many of you ladies have this gloss?

It is available at Sephora for $14.

Modified Pinup Look

Hey Makeup Lovers!

I've been dying to wear my MAC Morange lipstick and a night out with the girls was the perfect occasion. I decided to do a pin-up look with a heavy liner, neutral eye and bold lip. I replaced the traditional red lip with an orange lip. I think this color is HOT!
