Jecnovo Professional Hair                        Straightener Brush

5/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The Professional hair straightening brush from Jecnovo is a first for me.   I have the kind of hair that is neither curly nor straight.   It kind of waves, but not in a good way.  When I was younger, I had long hair and would use a clothes iron on it to straighten it out.   Now, I wear my hair in a bob cut but if I don't style it, I look like I have clown hair.   I thought I would give this brush a try.   
​There are several pros and cons which I will discuss.
First the Pros:
I like the controls and the fact that you can control the heat.  With 5 heat levels, there is a setting for all hair types.  The ceramic heating element provides even heat transfer.
It has a built in negative Ion generator which reduces static and makes hair more manageable.  It also does an excellent job straightening and reducing the frizzes.
And the Cons: 
The unit is heavy and feels a little awkward.  It takes some practice and getting used to handling it.  The bristles are hard.  This is specifically for straightening, not good for creating body.  
​
My Conclusion:
I would say that thisbrush is a deal.   It does an excellent job straightening and smoothing out your hair.  It is sturdy and made well and should last.   

I received the Professional Hair Straightner for testing and unbiased review.

Three Beautiful Bags From BG

5/5/2016

0 Comments

 
f​Elegant, soft, roomy and gorgeous are the first thoughts that I had when I got this three piece purse set.   I absolutely love this set.  It really exceeded my expectations.  The main pocketbook is so roomy I can fit everything that I had in my large tote purse and more.   I especially like the fact that that there are numerous compartments inside and outside.  There are zippered compartments inside to keep your valuables safe and pouches for your cell phone.   There is a zipper closure on the top.  The imitation leather is soft and pliable.  The butterfly charms are removable if you choose but I think that the charms are, well… charming.   
Picture
​The cross body bag comes with an adjustable and removable strap.   It is very roomy for a cross body bag.  I really like this shape.   It feels very comfortable and are great when you need to have your hands free but still need to have a purse.   These are nice for going to a concert, shopping or sightseeing.   
Picture
Picture
​Last but not least is the wristlet.  This wristlet is cute as a button.   I love the styling.   It can be used alone or you can carry it inside either the purse or the cross body bag. It is large enough to hold your essentials like phone, money, credit card and lipstick.   The wristlet comes in handy when you just want to grab your essentials and go, like running into the store or making a run to the cafeteria at work.   The wristlet from BG is so nice, it can even double as an evening bag.   
Picture
​ Considering that you get three bags, it is a great value!
​I received a promotional discount on the handbag from BG Brands so that I could test, evaluate and review this product.   Based on my personal experience and observations, I would definitely recommend it.   It has a very chic designer appearance at an affordable price.   The only con that I can report is that I thought that the top zipper on the large bag was a little short, leaving gaps on both ends.   Some of my more expensive bags don’t even have a zipper, just a snap on top so this one point is not a deal breaker, just a suggestion.  I get tons of compliments on the color and style of these bags.   Considering that you get three bags, it is a great value!

Beautiful Watch from Stuhrling

​ Neither words nor pictures can fully describe the magnificence of this exquisite timepiece from Stuhrling!    When I opened the box, it literally took my breath away.   It is so unique and different than any other watch that I have owned.   The slightly over-sized watch face is clean and simple with a sweeping second hand and no numerals imprinted, just small notches on the lustrous stainless steel bezel indicating the numerals.   This leaves a band around the perimeter of the face to accommodate the multifaceted silver and pink crystals.    These crystals have sparkle of their own but when they catch the light, the result is breathtaking.   Add to that, the genuine leather pink band and you have a watch fit for a princess!   Men; take note, if you want to impress your Lady, this watch would make an excellent gift.   
Picture
​The Stuhrling is an analog quartz movement watch inspired by Swiss watchmakers.   The crystal is hardlex which is a mineral composite giving it excellent impact resistance without compromising clarity.  This watch is also water resistant, however I have not plunged it into water nor would I want to, however, it is good to know if water from washing my hands should splash onto it, the watch will be protected.    Included with the watch is a sturdy hinged gift box, microfiber cleaning cloth and a 2 year warranty.  The included battery also has an approximate 2 year lifespan.  Stuhrling watches are crafted with design, style and functionality in mind.   
Picture
I received the Stuhrling Model 793.1 from Timeworks, for testing, evaluation and unbiased review.  I am happy to have had this opportunity to wear this luxurious watch.  It is definitely a very classy and unique wrist watch which garners compliments from all who see it!

Vintage Earrings

​The dangling earrings from SheLian are beautifully detailed.   The design combines elements of metal, enamel and crystal to form the design of these delicate yet bold earrings.    The main body of the earring is a diamond shape. Centered on the silver base is an enameled turquoise plate, framed by the silver which is encrusted with rhinestones and dangling from each point of the diamond is a crystal and another in between each for a total of 5 on each earring.    

Picture
Picture
​Not only are the earrings beautiful but the packaging is quite nice as well.   They come in a purple and gold gift box with the earrings secured to a velvet backing.   
​The earrings are very pretty and surprisingly lightweight.   They do not pull on your earlobes like some danglers do.   The turquoise and silver remind me of Aztec jewelry but the multifaceted crystals add to the look bringing attention to their stunning beauty. This style of earring was popular in the 1920’s and 30’s, but beauty is timeless.   
​I purchased the earrings at little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review which I have provided.   Based on my observations, I would recommend them.

Designer Scarf from Lily Park

​The designer scarf fromLily Park exudes femininity. The soft sheer buttery fabric has a golden metallic design woven into it with a metallic thread.   It adds a touch of class to the already beautiful fabric.    The scarf is 28” long and 67” wide.   There is plenty of fabric to wear it a number of ways.    I especially like wearing it over my shoulder as a shawl on a cool spring night.   It can be worn as an infinity scarf, a head covering or as a flowing accessory or even a belt.   It is very versatile and really dresses up a plain dress.   The soft yellow goes with any color.    I have not washed it, but because it is delicate, it must be hand washed.   I don’t have any garments made out of Viscose so am not familiar with it but 70% is Polyester which I know all too well.   
Picture
I purchased the scarf at little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review.  Based on my experience with the scarf, it is a thumbs up for me.
​The scarf comes in a reusable nylon draw string bag and would make a wonderful gift to any woman of any age.   Mother’s Day is near and I am sure Mom would love this!   It is reasonably priced and so versatile.  I have no hesitation recommending this well-made scarf.

Glowing Heart Purse Light

​Love is in the air with this pretty littleglowing heart.   The purse light is absolutely adorable.   It has a sensor on it so that when you open your purse, which in my case is a dark deep abyss, the heart glows and I can easily find my way around even the darkest corners.   It comes in a crystal clear box, surrounded by paper hearts.   There is an attached clip on the back which makes it easy to clip onto a side pouch or you can hang it from the included lanyard.   Either way, it lights up.    The clerk at my local grocery store was impressed when I opened my bag to pay.   She wanted to know where I got such a clever little gadget.  Of course I told her!
Picture
​This little heart would make an awesome gift and I fully intend to pick up a few for my daughters and friends.   I believe it runs off of button batteries because you will have to pull the tab to activate.   I hope they last because it doesn’t look easy to change them.    Other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase.

The Roaring Twenties Flapper Dress

​Love, love, love The PrettyGuide Women 1920's Vintage Beads Sequin Art Deco Paisley Flapper Party Dress!   This dress has hundreds of sequins and beads sewn all over it.   It is very fragile, yet gorgeous.   From the moment I put this dress on it made me feel like I went back in time to the Roaring Twenties when life was simple but so much fun.     This dress is perfect for a night out at the club or even at a costume party.   I guarantee you will get lots of complements.    
Picture
Picture
​This style is very slenderizing.   This dress comes in small, medium, large and extra-large.   I wasn’t quite sure what size to get and used the sizing guide.       The Large size fit my daughter who is a size 8 or medium perfectly.  The actual fabric of the dress is sheer but there is a lining.   As previously stated, it is fragile so special care must be taken when cleaning.   Considering how many beads are on this dress it is remarkably lightweight.   The front has a scoop neckline and the back is a scoop as well.      The listed price is great.  I would have expected a dress with this much detail to cost much more.   
I purchased this dress at little or no cost in exchange for testing, evaluation and unbiased review which I have provided.    I have no affiliation with this company.   All opinions expressed are my own.

The rose gold cuff bracelet by Oudin is unique and exquisitely designed.   The bracelet is made of strong titanium and plated with 18K rose gold.   The cuff is solid and there is a delicate chain with a heart shaped clasp.   Dangling from the end of the chain is another solid heart with a dazzling rhinestone in the center.
Picture
The box and presentation of the bracelet is almost as nice as the piece itself.   It comes in a velvet lined box with butter colored fabric covering the box and then topped off with a perfect bow.   This would make a much appreciated gift to any woman.   With Mothers day around the corner, it would be very thoughtful.   The two hearts could signify Mom and child or husband and wife.   It is symbolic of shared love.
Picture
This is a quality piece of costume jewelry which is reasonably priced and well made.  You will not be disappointed in this piece.   It is pretty and feminine and carries the message of love.   
Disclosure:  I received the Oudin cuff bracelet for evaluation and review. Based on my observations it is definitely a thumbs up for me!

Adorable Fox Bag Charm

Isn't  this fox charm the cutest thing you ever saw? This little charm is not so little but I must say it is very charming.   It is full of bling, encrusted with crystals and a little tuft of white faux fur.  The deep black eyes and mane are enameled.  The chain, key ring and lobster clasp clip are a gold plate over a zinc metal base.  

This charm is a nice size, measuring 5.5" in height.  The clip is very easy to clip onto a handbag or backpack.   Also in addition to the clip, is a circular key ring to hold your keys.    

This little charm shows your unique style. It goes with just about any color and is an ageless beauty.  Charms are jewelry for your accessories.  I love them. 

Included with the cute fox charm clip is a black velvet bag which makes this an exquisite  and unique gift.
Did I mention the little red nose and jointed tail?   The tail sways as you move and the red nose is the perfect focal point.   Everyone who sees my Roxy Foxy (as I named her), wants one.  Of course they do!  How can you resist?
