Ceramika Hair Straightener Review + Pictures

You want a hair straightener that goes cheap but gets the job done right? The job meaning straightening & curling Well I found one that does it all. I have a Conair one which cost me around $60 I mean it does work. Works pretty well actually but it can't style, curl or create waves. So I bought a cheap curler which was around $20. It's a drugstore one by Revlon. But I got tired of having to switch all the time I just wanted one that would style & straighten. I decided to chance it & buy one from Ross. It was really cheap so I was kind of skeptical but I paid for it & went home. First I tested if it got hot & it did, The I straightened a strand & it came out shiny & straight. I was so amazed & happy! Then I took another strand & curled it. It came out so cute & wavy plus it was still shiny & no frizz. I was so happy that I made this awesome purchase for an awesome product. IT'S CALLED A CERAMIKA PRO! & I ONLY GOT IT FOR $20. Plus tax of course but yes $20!!!!! I'm so happy. It heats up to 410 degrees & has a turning "switch" which you can change the heat to a lower degree. Also an on & off switch. It doesn't have a ready sign or no lights turn on to tell you its heated but it does just take about 15 seconds to heat up. Also another con is that the groves at the end get super hot so I can't hold the tip to really tighten the straightener on to my hair but it still straightens super good. So don't get discouraged. =) Remember always use a heat protectant. I use Tresemme's heat protector. It's inexpensive & smells SO good! Here are some pictures of how my hair straightener looks like!










This is what I was covering in the other picture because I wanted to show it last. lOl! =) Told you $20 at Ross. Try it out!

Makeup Drawers/Collection

This is my top/first drawer. I put my eyeshadows in this drawer. The one in the very front has 2 more under each side. Those are The Color Workshop eyeshadow I mentioned in The Color Workshop Shimmer Powder post. Go check that out if you want my first impression. =) There's ELF, Estee Lauder, other generics & pretty much just cheap stuff. I don't need expensive stuff. =)

This is my second/middle drawer where I put all my pencil type stuff. Liquid liners, mascars, lipsticks, lipgloss, Jane Gel Eyeliner, shimmer powder from The Body Shop, primer, lip liners, etc... just other stuff in that range. If you see anything you want me to review just let me know.

This is my bottom/3rd drawer. I put my face products & tools in here. Not well organized but it works =). There's ELF, Covergirl, Hard Candy, Clean & Clear, Estee Lauder, NYC, The Color Workshop & Revlon. See anything you want reviewd just ask. =)
Thanks so much for reading my blog/post. Don't forget to check my Advice Column page. =) Please & thank you.

BR Palette Review + Pictures





This was also a gift. So I don't know where to get it & how much. I think it's like a generic or something but it works pretty good. I don't think it's pigmented but it still works okay. To me this is worth at least Max: $12-13. Thats just me. I still use it though because it does get the job done. So I'm not complaining. It might be on ebay or amazon, not too sure.

The Color Workshop Lipsticks + Pictures







PLEASE ASK IF YOU WANT SWATCHES. =) LIKE I SAID THE COLOR WORKSHOP HAS NO NAMES SO I CAN'T SAY WHAT'S WHAT. ALL YOU CAN DO IS EYEBALL IT & SEE IF THEIR THE SAME COLOR. SORRY, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T MY FAULT. Thank you.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick "Sugar Honey & Pinkberry" +Pictures







The pinkberry is a very nude color. I really like it. It doesn't really draw much attention to my lips with a crazy bright color but it still puts color. A cute color at that. The Sugar Honey is also very simple. Its shimmery so I barely use it. Only at "fancy" parties. ha ha. I still use it though. As you can tell these are the older versions. If you look on their website the whole appearance is way different. I didn't buy this seperate though. It was a gift my mom got when she purchased her Estee Lauder Beautiful perfume & she doesn't really use makeup so she gave it to me. It didn't dry out my lips but it could be because I used my Vaseline Lip Therapy beforehand.

Hard Candy 1000 lashes Mascara "Brown" Review + Pictures


This is around $6 I believe. I like it cause it puts a brown tint so I like it. I don't think it really lengthens or puts any volume but the colors nice. Sometimes I use the Maybelline first & add this at the end. They have these in other colors which is nice. I think there's one in green & blue & other colors ike that. Find it at walmart. =)

Maybelline the Falsies Volume Express "blackest black" Review + Pictures

This can be found at walmart for about $6. It works pretty good. It doesn't really curl my lashes which sucks cause I like them curled & my eyelash curler sucks so I was hoping it would get the job done on its own. My lashes do look a bit longer though. But I still use it so it works for me. The brush is made with a curve so its suppose to curl but it only does the minimum so whatever. I need to find one that will. My search continues.
