postheadericon Instyler

So after years of thinking about it, I finally broke down and purchased an Instyler. If you're anything like me, you've watched the infomercials and wondered if your hair could get as straight as the models....


A tid bit about my hair:

I have natural African American hair. It you are familiar with the hair chart, I have a mix of 3C, 4A, and 4B hair... Mostly 4A. My first time using the Instyler took a while. Not as long as it did the first time I ever flat iron but 45 min is still quite some time.

I've used it twice now. I have to say.that I do like it. I like the fact that you can curl your hair and you don't have to worry about any bends. I also found that my hair wasn't hot to touch like it can sometimes be with a flat iron.

I parted my hair into four sections; two in the front kind of like pigtails and two in the back..... Reminiscent of four corners... Lol. I spray some more heat protectant and set out to work.




Now the first time I used the heat guard. I honestly don't like it because I can't get my roots. If you don't need to get your roots then the heat guard will be good for you. If you don't use it then you have to be careful because you can easily burn yourself.


Now I'm not sure if my sections of hair were too big or what but I found that I had to go over each section about three times to get it straight.

Over all I would say I like it, but I would only purchase it if you can get a good deal on it. If you rarely use heat on your hair then you might think twice about purchasing it. Just keep in that when you do want to use hear you have a straightener and curler in one with this product!

postheadericon The Body Shop Haul

Recently The Body Shop released a $10 off $20 purchase coupon code. I wanted to take advantage of it in store but at the last minute I decided to just order online despite the shipping charges.

In the first haul I purchased three things:

1. Coconut Oil Hair Shine ($10)
2. Coconut Body Milk ($12)
3. Coconut Soap ($4)

Now TBS also had a sale going on that if you bought two then you get the third free so I got the soap for free. This brought my subtotal to $22. With tax of $1.21, shipping of $5.95 and the $10 discount, I paid $19.16 for everything.

I plan on doing a review of the individual products or a post of my FAVS or something like that.

For now I can tell you that I absolutely adore the hair shine! Not only does it smell good, it leaves Mu hair feeling so moisturized and soft. My hair doesn't shine but that's normal for me. I already think I will be putting this on the short list if staple products!

postheadericon Marshalls Haul

I have been wanting to purchase a moisturizing shampoo but to my surprise it to a while before I found one. I have been stalking the Folica.com website and saw some CHI items that I wanted to try. Although I did order some things I will post later, I went to my local Marshall's to see if I could get anything cheaper.....

Folica is out of stock in this particular shampoo. Theirs is listed at $11.99 but I purchased mine for $7.99. I can't wait to try it as I am going to dye my hair and I know I will need all the moisture I can get!

I was thinking of getting a denman brush but I saw a similar one at Marshall's for only $4.99...
Hopefully it works just as well!...The site I found it on is selling the brush for $14.99. A savings of $10 for me!

I also purchased something I've been wanting for awhile every since a fellow blogger blogged about hers!
She took great pics so take a look at ThickNGorgeouz. I got mine for $5.99 as well.

I also purchased some clear and black foot petals for $2.99.

For all of my items my subtotal was $21.96. With tax of $1.70, my total was $23.66

postheadericon Haul Time Part 2

So...Can you tell I LOVE to shop? Lol. Anywho....I found out late last night via email confirmation that the LB assoicate that made my LB2Me purchase ordered the wrong bra. I was suppose to get the Lace T-Shirt bra in Petal Pink but for some weird reason she ordered it in Desert Flower. Now I could understand if I had not given her the EXACT bra that I wanted just in a different size! Tsk Tsk LB! I attempted to call LB online and get it corrected. The online representative stated she was unable to make changes to the existing order but she would send me out another bra at no cost to me. I would just have to send the wrong bra back (of course at not cost) when I received it. Unfortunately for me there was no more of my size online. I was able to go to a different LB and get my pink bra!!!!! You can take a look at the pink bra in a previous post if you want a looksee. I got a 40% off coupon for LB that I got to use for a cacique bra purchase that I used taking the total to $21 and some change. The other bra I will return as I dont want that color. I will just use that $25 towards my next purchase when I get to use my Real Woman dollars.

Moving on.....

I went to Forever21...lol...No matter what mall I go to I have to check them out. Now again if they would only get the plus size line in the store near me. (I do plan on visiting the store in Raleigh, NC that sells the plus line to see if they have anything I want...lol...stay tuned for that). I bought a cute bracelet and some more ankle socks....




The bracelet to my surprise is not tight (the reason I bought it..lol) As you can tell two leaves make up the end points of the bracelet. It is selling for $6.80. I could not find a picture of it online so here are my own pics.


I tried to show how you open the bracelet to get it on.

A better picture of the leaf design

I attempted to show how the back of the bracelet looks. It is just a plain silver. I did see the bracelet in a gold color for all of you gold lovers.

I also bought 5 more pairs of socks. I LOVE the cute designs on them. I must admit that I hate wearing socks....or shoes for that matter. I'd rather walk around barefoot and I take my shoes off the first chance I get...lol (even if they are the baddest shoes ever)....But since I tend to get sicker as the weather gets colder my mother thinks its a good idea to wear them. If I must then I wear the thin ankle socks. F21's socks are perfect!....I don't know how long they will last since these couple of days have been my first purchase but maybe I will update that at a later date. Here are the socks I bought:

Solid Striped Socks
$0.95
Turquiose


Music Symbol Ankle Socks
$0.95
Cream/Black


Cup Cake Ankle Socks
$0.95
Black/Multi


Zig-Zag Ankle Socks
$0.95
Black/Multi


Bow Print Ankle Socks
$0.95
Black/Pink
I could not find this sock on the website so I uploaded my own for you to see!

Ok so I was going to save this last item for my makeup haul but I've bought so much makeup that I will probably either do a video or list the things I bought on here with no pics. I will list where I bought them though....Anyways....Here is what I bought from MAC!...

5 Warm Thrillseekers Pigment/Glitters
Trendy, thrilling, and oh, that sparkle! This warm-hearted mini-sized combo set consists of Most Darling, Gift o' Glamour, Gold Mode and Gilded Green Pigments and Reflects Bronze Glitter. Use on eyes, face, anywhere sparkle is desired! All come ready to gift - or enjoy - in a tartan tin of M∙A∙C Holiday.
$32.50


I decided to get the collection because I originally wanted the melon pigment but that would have been $19.50 by itself. I figured I could at least try 5 different ones for twice the money. The Gift o'Glamour and Gold Mode remind me of that color. I already have the Bronze eye shadow and I really want to see if the reflect bronze glitter will look good when paired with it.
 
I also bought a wig.....
 
Freetress Synthetic Fullcap Bali Girl
I bought this wig in color TP4/27 (medium brown/strawberry blonde)
$24.99 ($17.99 on clairhair.com)

The actual wig is a tad darker and the highlights are much more suttle.
 
This go around I spent waaay less money. I don't plan on buying anything else until this coming weekend....THE BDAY WEEKEND.....Stay tuned for the Wet Seal/Forever 21 (orders from offline) update/review as well as the makeup up video or posting!
