I love this Flat Iron!! I was unsure if this flat iron would work for my hair type, but it works and I am extremely impressed!
Let me start off my saying.. I have never had a proper flat iron before. Shocking.. I know. This flat iron came in a fab Tin with a Travel Pouch, Shine Shield, Heat proof pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat & alot of other great goodies!

Hana Features:
  • Advanced Tourmaline Ceramic Plates for Accelerated Ion Generation and Maximum Frizz-Free, Conditioning Shine
  • Ceramic is naturally hygienic, protects color & retards fading
  • 1” Plates Auto-Adjust To Glide Over Any Hair Texture
  • Curved Plate Edges For Versatile Styling - Curl, Flip or Straighten!
  • Flash Heats in Seconds with Instant Compensation for Heat Loss
  • Smooth Grooves Keep Hair Strands Separate and Snag-Free
  • Convenient Hanging Loop
  • Energy Efficient at 38 Watts
  • Independent On/Off Switch
  • Two Year Warranty

Adjustable Temperature Dial - 5 Settings from 140-450° F for All Hair Types


 Since I was able to set the temperature myself straightening my whole head didn't take long at all.


The ceramic plates didn't pull my hair while I was straightening or curling. Actually it was easier to curl using Hana than my regular curler because of the Tangle-Free Salon Quality Cord. It swivels 360°!!!



The Hana Shine Shield was amazing! Suitable for every hair type. ShineShield is a thermal serum that can be used as a leave-in conditioner - lightweight and never greasy, it protects and strengthens hair whether you use it with a flat iron, hair dryer or alone. ShineShield contains the natural magic of Jojoba oil for its superb qualities of deep moisturization, fast absorption into hair follicles and scalp, and unparalleled shimmer & shine. 6 oz.

This is my hair after it has been straightened/ curled:

 I love how shiny & healthy it looks!

Maybelline EyeStudio Kit - Spiced Beauty Look

I'm super lucky to have been picked by Matchstick to receive the entire line of Maybelline EyeStudio!

It came with:
  • A Huge Train case
  • 12 Colour Plush Ready to Wear Palettes,
  • 10 Colour Pearls Marbleized Eye Shadows, 
  • 4 Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliners
  • 4 XXL Pro Mascaras 
I know most of you have your mouth wide open and you wanna win the whole kit RIGHT?!?! Well after reading my post click here and vote for my look :) * It takes up to 48 hours for my look to be uploaded.

The look I created is called Spiced Beauty!


  1. I started off with Eye Studio Gel Liner in Eggplant as a base.
  2. I used the dark side of Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadow in Carbon Frost on the lower lid. 
  3. I blended Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadow in Sinful Sinnamon with Bronze Blow out into my crease.
  4. I used a very small amount of Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadow Bronze Blowout (the light side as a highlight) on my brow bone.
  5. To make my inner eyes pop I used the light side of Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadow in Carbon Frost.
  6. I lined my eyes with  Eye Studio Gel Liner in Blackest Black
  7. Finish off with the XXL Pro Mascara on upper and lower lash line 


Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eye shadows are very pigmented and come in a lot great shades. My favorite is Carbon Frost. I love the silver flecks.


The gel liner is very smooth and durable!  Yes durable they last long!! I was under bright light all night and they didn't crease, so I recommend using them as bases as well.

Outfit of the Day + NYC day 1 pictures!

Thanks for reading <3

Beyonce is soo fly!

Excuse her facial expression... I think she was feeling the music at that time or farting..LMAO

I love this outfit! BUT i'm little iffy on the boots & hat..

Off the shoulder tops are my favorite.. I am NOT a regular t-shirt girl.. so off the shoulder gives me that edge :)

Oh ye! I forgot to mention that the graphic print is a plus!!

Also you can never go wrong with a pair of cute denim shorts. I think those are a perfect length but I can see someone battling me on that one!

If I had to change something I would change the boots to gladiators & lose the hat!

Soo enuff about my views.. what do you think??
Would you wear it?
What would you change?
