Perfect Shiny Hair in Half The Time

Every morning, every girl dreams of having perfect, shiny straight hair. Well, at least I do. I have very long hair and I am always looking for the perfect tools to make the process the easiest possible. My search for the perfect brush began a few weeks a go, I tried a few but none did a great job. Some pulled my hair too much others did not give it enough shine.

A few days ago I decided to give the local Ricky's another try and I once again asked what brush they would recommend and the salesperson without a second thought said the must have brush is the Morocaan Oil Round Brush. I was a bit skeptical at first because paying $28.00 for a brush to me seems crazy but was she ever right. Not only does this brush give you straight, shiny beautiful hair but most importantly does not pull your hair and cuts down on the time you spend on blow drying your hair because it is ceramic and attracts heat. I hear all their products are amazing so if you have tried them please let me know and if you decide to invest in this amazing brush let me know what you think.

I am convinced and so will you once you try it that this is worth every penny.

AVON's Must-Have-Fall Suede Knit Cuff Bootie

My favorite time of year has arrived, fall allows you to wear a light jacket with a chic scarf, booties with jeans. The possibilities are endless this time of year. Fall also means a time for me to find the perfect bootie that I can wear for both work & play. I am happy to announce that I have found that perfect bootie and Ladies hold on to your seats, it's from Avon.

The Cushion Walk Genuine Suede Knit Cuff Bootie is not only chic and a must have for this fall but it is also comfortable. Yes I said comfortable. Here is the best part they only cost $49.99. It is only available in one color, what I like to call a cross between gray & military green but it can be worn as a neutral.

So ladies call your nearest AVON representative or go on-line (http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?src_page=product_list.aspx&level1_id=300&level2_id=584&pdept_id=626&dept_id=0&pf_id=42735) and order them before they are sold out. You will not be sorry you ordered them.

BOGO

Nothing makes me happier than when I walk by a store and it says BOGO and that was the case today when I walked by Payless on my lunch hour. Yes, Ladies I am not afraid to admit that I go into Payless every now and then to look at the Christian Siriano and Isabel Toledo lines. As of today Christian and Isabel have done an amazing job with their perspective collections for payless and did a find a winner today, below will be your go to shoe for the fall. At $34.99 they are a bargain, super cute and super comfortable.  Quantities are limited so if you are unable to get to your closest Payless, you can order them on-line. Just as a side note I went up half a size on these. I purchased them in black however they also come in an amazing brown suede.

And like I said it is Buy One Get One free this week at Payless so I ventured into their accessories section which is getting extremely very interesting and purchased an amazing twin pack of skinny belts. Now what girl isn't in need of a skinny belt for the fall season to tie around a fitted cardigan?
Accessories MinicciWomen's Skinny Duo Belt Set

Not only do you get the essential skinny black belt you also get an animal print one, note that this item is limited as well so buy it as soon as you can.

Now ladies like with any lower end retailer we must be very Savvy, look at the material, try on the shoe or garment and stay away from anything patent at payless they look very cheap.

Happy Fall Shoe shopping at payless Christian and Isabel have many other winners.

Crayola Box for Adults

I will be honest, I am one of those rare Fashionistas who wears very minimal make-up. You give me a good mascara and a bit of lip gloss and I am in heaven, all that matters are those killer shoes and handbags. However as of late I have become obsessed with all things make-up. It's as if the five-year old in me has re-awakened and all she wants to do is experiment with color and what better place to do this than at Sephora.

During my latest 8AM visit to the Wall Street Sephora, I discovered what has to be the must have 
make-up palette for all Fashionistas, the Sephora Collection, Allure Beauty Editor Palette.
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P291424&categoryId=B70


Allure Beauty Editor Palette by Sephora (Value $150)

The palette consists of 5 mini-palettes which are made up of 6 eye shadows, one blush or bronzer and a non-sticky lip gloss, yes ladies non-sticky. It also includes one carrying case which fits all the mini palettes and can be thrown in your work tote or your evening clutch. Ladies, hold on it gets even better the value of the palette is $150 however it is being sold for $34.00, is this a bargain or what?

The best pat is that the palette has colors for every season, so you will not have to buy make-up for a very long time.

So whether you are just beginning to experiment with make-up (like myself) or are a make-up junky, you must get to Sephora as soon as possible and purchase this palette, you will not be the least bit disappointed.

Have fun experimenting with the beautiful colors included in the palette and don't be afraid to create a new canvas of your beautiful face.

Cheap & Chic Workout Gear

For many Fashionistas who live in the Northeast it may seem as if winter will never end; however, many of us know that in a few weeks spring will be here and we will no longer be able to hide behind our many layers of clothing. Because of this many Fashionistas like myself have been hitting the gym, which also means, that chic workout gear is a must.

Although I would love to own every item sold by Lululemon, if you're a Fashionista on a budget it is impossible. So, I have been on a mission to find the cutest and cheapest work-out gear available and this is where Danskin for Walmart comes in. When I say that every item from this line is a must have I mean it is a must have. My favorite item from the line, which is only $7.00 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Danskin-Now-Women-s-Dri-More-Shelf-Bra-Racerback-Tank/12535900), is the Danskin Now Shelf Bra Racerback Tank, not only does it come in great colors but it is super comfortable and affordable. I have tried other brands and this by far beats all the other pricier ones. By the way they also offer great yoga pants all under $20.00 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Danskin-Now-Women-s-Dri-More-Bootcut-Pants/13988879).

The Danskin for Walmart line also includes a pair of sneakers at $25.00 which I have yet to try however, at such a great price I say they are worth a shot.

In addition, since I am always looking out for affordable items for Fashionistas of all sizes, I am very happy to share  (as if comfort and price were not enough) that the entire line is also available in plus sizes. So Ladies, no one has any excuses not to be chic at the gym. Run do not walk to Walmart, not only will you get super cute workout gear, you will also burn a few more calories which will get you in tip top shape for the wonderful Spring fashions and weather.

P.S. For those who do not have a Walmart nearby the entire line is available on-line.

XOXO
