Marie Dean Review & Giveaway



I am a sucker when it comes to beauty products. Walking down the isles of the store and seeing all the bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soaps, I can't help but pick them up and take them home with me. Whether I need them or not, I can't help it!

When I came across Marie Dean, once again, I couldn't help myself! Marie Dean sells hair and body care for the whole family. The ingredients used are natural and high quality to leave your skin and hair fully nourished. Plus, it is all made by hand!

For review, I was sent three of their products. Coffee and Kokum moisturizing deep conditioner, Coconut Vanilla conditioner and Amla hair creme. I was thoroughly impressed with all three!

The products all had such a wonderful smell! There was not one that I did not like. I am really picky about the smells that go into my hair, and I was ok with all three smells. I love coconut smells and all three had at least a hint of coconut.

I had never used a deep conditioner before I was sent the Coffee and Kokum moisturizing deep conditioner. I put it in my hair and let it sit for 30 minutes. I just sat and watched tv while I was waiting. Then I rinsed and I was done. Let me tell you, my hair felt like I had a new head of hair! It was so smooth and healthy looking.

I have also really enjoyed the hair creme. My hair needs moisture since I am always either in the water or out in the sun. I do not like my hair to feel 'crunchy'. The hair creme has really helped give my hair the right balance of moisture and strength. Not to mention that it is great for styling!

Lastly, the Coconut Vanilla conditioner. I really like this the best. I use it every couple of times I take a shower. It goes into my hair so easily. It also comes out nicely too. It does not leave my hair feeling greasy like a lot of other conditioners do. The first time I used it, the smell made me smile. I went all that day, went swimming, took another shower, washed my hair, and when my hair dried, I STILL could smell the conditioner! I loved that! The smell stuck around for a long time!

Marie Dean sells so many different products that you have to check out the store for yourself to see them all! Trust me, you are going to want to try them, I was not disappointed at all!

One of my lucky readers is going to win an 8 oz Mango Detangler from Marie Dean! Good luck!

Flat Iron Experts Review & Giveaway

I love hair products! That's one of the great things about being a girl is that we can do so much with our hair! I don't always have the time to do my hair. But, when I do do my hair, I like to go all out and make it look beautiful! Flat Iron Experts makes that super easy to do!

For my review, I received the Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron. Here is some information about the product:

The Babyliss Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron is rated #2 on our Best Curling Iron list for one reason alone and it is the price. If price wasn't a factor, this curling iron will for sure be the #1 choice. The Babyliss Tourmaline Ceramic Curling iron emits negative ions and far-infrared heat that brings a number of additional benefits to your hair:

1. Eliminates static electricity                                      3. Neutralize odors
2. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft              4. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle

From our expertise and customer reviews, most people are saying that tourmaline curling irons gives longer lasting curls compared to the non Tourmaline or Ceramic Hot Tools curling irons and other drugstore brands. The Babyliss curling iron comes with 40 adjustable heats setting up to a scorching 428 F perfect for all hair types. Two other great benefit of choosing this curling iron is the 2 year warranty and the fact that this curling iron isDual Voltage, meaning you can use this curling iron any where around the world while you travel. If you want a curling iron that is up to date and wouldn't mind paying a bit extra. This would be your choice. Flat Iron Experts recommend the Babyliss Tourmaline Curling Irons with 100% Confidence.   





Features
  • 5 barrel sizes available
  • Unique POP-IN/POP-OUT temperature control
  • Ultra-powerful heaters that provide fast, steady maximum temperatures
  • Instant heat recovery
  • 40 heat settings
  • Heats up to 428ºF(220ºC)
  • Slim rubberized handles
  • Tourmaline/Ceramic closes the hair cuticle resulting in smooth, glossy hair.
  • Tourmaline/Ceramic plus heat emits NEGATIVE IONS which eliminate static electricity and neutralize odors and bacteria.
  • Tourmaline/Ceramic barrels retain heat more efficiently, distribute it more evenly and eliminate damaging hot spots.
  • Tourmaline/Ceramic radiates faster drying FAR-INFRATED HEAT, which dries hair from the inside out, preserving more moisture within the hair shaft and causing less damage to the hair cuticle.
  • Extra long, heavy duty swivel cord
  • Dual Voltage
  • Two year warranty


I have totally loved using this curling iron! It heats up quickly and works very well! It hasn't damaged my hair at all! That's one less thing for me to worry about!

I have short hair, so the 1" was a little too big for me for tighter curls, but it did give me a nice wave! Plus, with the high heat settings, I didn't have to sit there for 10 minutes on every curl waiting for the heat to kick in. I was done with all of my hair in about 15-20 minutes! Nice time saver!

Here is a wonderful tutorial using this iron HERE

Flat Iron Experts also have flat irons, blow dryers, brushes, rollers and much much more! Basically everything you need to style your hair like the professionals! So go visit Flat Iron Experts and get started!
