Conair ExtremeSteam Professional Hand Held Garment Steamer

July 1, 2012

 

Conair ExtremeSteam Professional Hand Held Garment Steamer ($50) has a dual heat technology that provides faster, hotter steam for better results. Providing a dry concentrated steam it allows you to penetrate heavier fabrics and this steamer is effective on all types of fabrics, linens and drapes. The best part is it heats up in 60 seconds so you don’t have to wait long if you’re in a hurry. The water container holds enough water for up to 15 minutes of steam time. The steamer has a low and high temperature option with a built in trigger switch for constant steam. It also comes with 3 attachments: brush, creaser, and soft cushion bush making it easy to steam many different types of fabrics.

The lights on the back of the steamer will indicate when the steamer is ready for use. The orange light indicates that it is one and the green light will illuminate once the steamer is ready. Thick cotton takes a little longer for the steamer to completely dewrinkle but thin and soft fabrics unwrinkle as soon as you pass the steamer over it. I know this review isn’t very consistent with beauty related products but I was looking to buy a garment steamer and wanted to share my experience with this product. As usual Conair’s products never disappoint.

NARS Summer 2012 Kit

Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Mascara

June 5, 2012

Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System ($35) is a three-step lash extension system that includes an activating mascara base and top coat and Flexistretch™ nylon lash fibers to create a 98% increase in lash volume and 42% increase in lash length.

The look of false lashes has never been easier or more affordable with this do-it-yourself system that’s an alternative to messy false lashes and expensive lash extensions. The activating mascara base and top coat is designed specifically to melt and seal the Flexistretch nylon fibers into long, thick, dramatic lashes without the risk, mess, or commitment of other false lash alternatives. Unlike traditional fiber mascaras, Better Than False Lashes allows you to dial up the lengthening fibers so you easily get better, longer, thicker, more dramatic lashes instantly.

Recommendation:  This mascara duo gives you longer lashes with it’s fibers in the small white tube but the black mascara in the gold tube applies like regular mascara in my opinion. Too Faced should just sell the tube of lashes by itself as I got better results with different volumizing mascaras as the second coat. If you like applying fibers to lengthen your lashes you will like this product but there are other products that have fibers already in the mascara saving you an extra step.

Introducing Simply Vera by Vera Wang

June 4, 2012

 

Simply Vera Vera Wang Cosmetics Collection

Available now at Kohl’s

Beautiful hues and glowing radiance inspire confidence and individuality, whether dressing for your wedding day, modeling on the runway, or creating an everyday makeup look. With the launch of Simple Vera Vera Wang Cosmetics, the focus is simple: a beautiful skin canvas embellished with color to allow a woman to express her personality. Available now exclusively at Kohl’s. The collection is inspired by Vera’s own personal makeup philosophy; the collection is a fresh and modern take on beauty – effortless and timeless with a blend of whimsy and refinement.

Products:

  • Simply Vera Vera Wang Skin Brightening Primer ($39.50)
  • Simply Vera Vera Wang Soothing Balm ($18.50)
  • Simply Vera Vera Wang Illuminating Primer ($19.50)
  • Simply Vera Vera Wang Smoothing Lip Primer ($32.50)
  • Simply Vera Vera Wang Lash Enhancing Serum ($39.50)

Following the steps of other famous fashion designers like Burberry and Dolce & Gabanna you can fashion designer inspired cosmetic products. I expected the prices to be a little lower since most of Kohl’s’ cosmetics brands are not very pricey. The price ranges from $19 to $40 so you can still purchase a product that won’t break the bank. I believe Kohl’s has testers also so you will be able to try products before you buy them unlike drugstore brands.
