I love this thing!!

The last time I had a haircut in May, my hairdresser used this straightening iron on my hair. I liked it so much that I asked her to order one for me too. Now, I use it every time I've washed my hair, after blowdrying it 80%. I don't know how I was able to live without this little gem. The old one I had was too wide for short hair, which I happen to have now and this new one is just perfect!

It's in white and I think I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. As a matter of fact I believe I used those exact words, when she opened the box to show me and she just giggled at how silly I was... Well, these pictures don't do it justice, it looks better up close.

I also got a red lipstick from Estée Lauder, it's a darker red but it makes me feel so glam. Besides it feels good on my lips since it keeps them moisturized and doesn't dry them out. Perfect for a night out where I don't have a lot of time to apply make-up. Shade: Black Cherry.

ooo you really do look glamorous!
how much was that iron? i'm trying to decided on an iron but i don't know very much about them.

I like the case for the flat iron. I don't think I've ever seen that brand before. I've always avoided red lipstick. I'm afraid that it'll partially smudge or something and I'll look retarded with half done up lips. You look totally glam with those lips though, but I think I'm not ready for red lips yet!

ghd is s good brand for hair styling products. I see ads in Elle UK all the time. Maybe it's not a big thing in the US?
Suga, I never thought red lips was for me, I loved the looks on other asians but not on me...I had tried it several times, each time making me look like a clown and it always ended with me tossing that lippie, that was.. right until I tried the right shade from MAC and now this one from Estée Lauder. I believe that it's all about finding the right shade. There are also the long-lasting lippies you can get. Fei, wore a red shade in her entry about her ladybug halloween costume and it looked great on her.

The straightening iron was too expensive but I see it as an investment. It was aprox. 300$

Oh yes, GHD is a big thing in Europe, that's what my hair salon here uses too. I got my hair cut last week. Rather than blowing drying my hair straight, the hairdresser decided to keep my waves and add a bit of omph to it. She used that hair straightener to curl the ends of my hair slightly. I loved the result! They are quite expensive here though. Could I ask how much you got yours for?

ChyiX2 said...

did she curl them outwards or inwards? Yup, I answered that questio in my first reply, bottom line. But you really pay for good quality so for me it's worth the investment.

Ooops, I missed that, sorry. :P

She curled it in different directions actually, adding more bounce. I'm very clumsy with my hands when it comes to styling, so I have no idea how I would recreate that look!

watercoloursky said...

wow that is expensive! but i would pay that amount if it worked well for me. the design and white colour looks so cool too.
you look very glamorous and classy with the red lips!

I love the white finish in particular. My hairdresser used a black one on me and when I inquired about the straghtener she told me that she would get a few of the white limited edition in a few weeks but she had to put me on a waiting list to get one. I'm glad I decided to get it because I don't know how I did without it before! ;)

hey chyi, for the blue look with Languid Lagoon I basically applied LL all over the mobile lid, and then on top of it the following:

-RMK Shiny Mix Eyes in Pale Green(or any light shimmery green) on inner 1/3 lid
-MAC Bell Bottom Blue pigment on outer V

I find it works best with any darker blue shadow to tone down the garishness of it :)

Hope that helps :)
