Best tool to blow dry hair with!

I have very tight curls and it usually takes forever to blow dry my hair straight. (At least 1hr and half)

However, I have found a great solution!

Its the Nexxus "Sleek n Style" brush. It's a ceramic brush with tourmaline and negative ions to give the hair shine. You use this brush the same way you would a flat iron. However, it has slits on both sides where you are to face the blow dryer so the heat can penetrate through the brush to your hair.

  The end result is bone straight and shiny hair. The best part was that I blew dry my hair in 45 minutes!

Mally Beauty September 23rd 2011 Todays Special Value Review!!

On September 23, 2011 Mally Roncal (My Favorite) will debut her TSV on QVC. Since, I am a QVC insider I was able to order it early! (YAY ME!)
Here are my thoughts:

1) FACE DEFENDER HIGHLIGHTER in Gorgios Glow is so pretty. It has a very weird but pleasant texture. Very creamy and velvety. The color is very gold but goes on very sheer.

2) FACE DEFENDER BLUSH in Pink Perfection: Has the same texture as the highlighter and goes on very sheer also! Looks very dark in the picture but not hot pink when its applied. Its a gorgeous light pink. Almost gives the effect of a pink cheek stain!







3) EYESHADOW in Violet is a pretty pewter mixed with violet color.

4) EYELINER in Black Cherry looks very similar to the eyeshadow just looks a few shades darker.  

5) The Cross Body BAG is also a pewter and violet mixed together color and is a little on the small side but a nice bonus!

6) The HIGHSHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK in Purty is the same shade as the blush but has silver specs in it that are very subtle. This too goes on very sheer. Just give the lips a hint of color. 









So sorry the photos suck. I have to invest in a better camera! I hope these help!

Infallible is truely Infallible!

I have been wearing the L'Oreal Infallible lipsticks and I am loving them!
They are truly infallible! I put this on at 10am on Saturday, went out to lunch and did a little shopping came home and cooked! When I looked in the mirror at 4pm it was still on! It wasn't faded or anything!

The only con to this product is that after several hours your lips do tend to get sticky. Just put some chap stick or gloss over it and it will go away!

Erase Paste....Dosen't erase a thing!

I was given "erase paste" by Benefit Cosmetics recently.
I didn't not like it:(
It has a smooth but oily consistency to it.
I applied it with a brush and then again with my fingers and got lack luster results. The product is extremely light and you need a lot to have enough to even conceal anything!
I don't have bad under eye darkness but have using this, it looked as though I did. Therefore, this my friends is a NO, NO!


May I suggest:
 Laura Geller's real deal concealer (QVC.COM) This is amazing! Can conceal anything! Very little goes a long way because it is highly concentrated.

Makeup for ever HD invisible concealer: (Sephora.com) works wonderfully. Creamy and does a good job at concealing. What I have discovered with makeup forever is that you have to apply the product and wait about 20 minutes for them to settle in for a flawless look!

Do You Twitter!?!

I have a love hate relationship with twitter!
I had a twitter account for years and it recently got taken down because I was promoting my blog too much! Really twitter, how come Kim kardashian can get paid thousands to promote stuff but I can't promote mine!
So, I have now created another one: HAUTEBEAUTY101 and would love it if you followed me!

What about you guys? Do you have twitter? Post your name here and I'll follow back!

We are not all created Yellow...or Pink!

Hey Makeup companies!
We are not all created with yellow undertones or pink undertones.
I understand that yellow can be flattering to most undertones but I am more of a brownish undertone and if I put something with yellow on my neck will never match my face! And that would be just weird!!!

Here are some makeup companies that make foundations with brown or caramel undertones:

1) Nars
2) Sephora brand

An Excellent & Affordable Facial Exfoliator you may wannt to try!

I have been using the "Essence of Beauty Facial Buff" from CVS for over 3 months now and I am in love! Its only $2.

Since using this my skin has been as soft as a baby's bottom!
No more dry patches on my checks!
Pores on checks less visible!

I used to use Philosophy's "Purity Made Simple" cleanser ($20) with it but now that I am trying to save as much money I have been using the Neutrogena naturals facial cleanser/make up remover. The best thing about the Neutrogena cleanser is that it melts make up just as well as Purity, it 96% nautural, and only cost $8.99.






P.S. if you want a cheaper alternative to Philosophy's microdelivery peel try the Neutrogena pore scrub. It has tiny, gentle granules that do gentle exfoliation and it's also 96% natural.
