    My Curl Secret

    20131101-075943.jpg
    Now I’ve always wanted to be the girl who wakes up with that perfect ‘Victoria’s Secret’ hair.

    Hair that has body, bounce and soft waves that looks sexy and flawless with any look. Traditionally I’ve had to conquer up the will power to sit for about 45 minutes and curl my whole head of hair with a regular curling iron which always left me with ‘fish tail’ ends and a flopped look in under 2 hours.

    So while I never buy into infomercials, I saw one for Conair’s ‘Curl Secret’ and had no choice but to try it!

    I ordered it from Ulta.com and within a few days the new age of curling irons was plugged in and ready to go.

    It was easy to use, lightweight and curled my whole head of hair in under 30 minutes. Best part? The curls last longer than those of my traditional curling iron.

    Curl Secret allows you to decide how tight or loose the curls will be based on 3 different temperature settings. The contraption takes a piece of your hair, twirls it around the barrel chamber and after 3 beeps, voila! Beautiful curls!

    Sounds too good to be true? Guess you’ll just have to try it out for yourself!

    My One Stop Beauty Shop: Ulta

    20131125-071058.jpg
    Every girl has her go to store for all things beauty. Some gals are devoted Sephora fans others opt to head to Bloomingdales or Saks, however personally, my fav go to beauty store is Ulta.

    It’s the perfect place for a girl on a budget, they always have coupons, sales and free gifts with purchase and what I love most? They have amazing customer service and go above and beyond to accommodate their customers!

    Ulta has all the brands you love: Estée Lauder, Calvin Klein, Bareninerals, Paul Mitchell and more, all at affordable prices and with experts who can match you with the products that suit you best.

    Another thing I truly love about Ulta, their return policy. How many times do you try a new shade of foundation or a certain lipstick and realize it just isn’t for you? What do you do? Eat the cost? Attempt to return it and the store not take it back? Give it to your sister? Well at Ulta they will take anything and I mean anything back if your not happy, even if you lost the receipt and the package is open they will give you a store credit and can even look up the purchase on your credit card or Ulta rewards card which leads me to my next reason on why I love Ulta…the rewards.

    Ulta has one of the best rewards programs around and trust me I looked into Sephora, Bareminerals etc. 4 times a year Ulta sends you a rewards booklet with the level you reached based on your purchases for that particular time frame.

    You can score shampoos, lipsticks, mascara or even a flat iron, blow dryer or curling iron! The rewards never expire, although there is an expiration date the managers always accept them past that date and they will help you find whatever you need.

    If I haven’t convinced you to check out Ulta I’m not quite sure what will, but like I said, you have nothing to loose with their happiness guarantee and their unbeatable prices!

    Shop Ulta

    Ulta also has tons of great specials going on for the Holidays! Whether your shopping for yourself, a teenager, a pre teen or even a man in your life, Ulta has it all at great prices!

    White For Fall

    20131107-072954.jpg
    The old saying goes ‘You can’t wear white after Labor Day’, however being a breaker of most fashion rules, I decided that one of my fall ‘must haves’ is this chic white blazer from LC By Lauren Conrad.

    I love how it breaks up the look by adding a brighter tone rather than just plain black on black. I brightened the look up even more with an orange chiffon top from Old Navy.

    As always, you can never go wrong with a pair of classic black pants, especially ones that fit you well! I love these black work pants from Kohls!

    I also decided to do something a little different this morning and curl my hair!

    Happy Thursday Fashion Lovers!

    My Dry Bar Adventure

    20131004-095521.jpg

    A few weeks ago, I finally had the chance to test out ‘The Dry Bar’ in NYC!

    I had to prepare for the big FFANY ‘Shoes On Sale‘ gala at the Waldorf Astoria and needed gorgeous hair in a hurry.

    Right when I walked in I was offered either Champagne, a Mimosa or Wine and there was plenty of sweet treats to snack on.

    The atmosphere was amazing and I loved the layout of the ‘bar’ itself. They washed, blew out and curled my hair, just like how I requested and the best part? It was all for $40! Most salons charge for the blowout then extra on top of that for the styling, but not Dry Bar!

    Also as I was there posting pics from my experience on instagram, their social media team was very responsive and was asking how it was going! How much better can customer service get?

    I can’t wait to go back and have sexy Victoria’s Secret style hair on a budget!
