Win my favorite kind of hair brush!

18 Comments

When I first started doing reviews and giveaways on my site I was contacted by Cover Your Hair and did a review/giveaway. That was back in January 2010. A few weeks ago they contacted me again. Instead of having the gift being a surprise, I decided to actually pick out something to review and have a chance for you all to win it as well.

In October you may remember me talking about the boar hair brushes and how amazing they are for your hair, to make it sleek, shiny and even fall straight without the straightening iron.

So I thought I would request to review the Goody Boar Ceramic Cusion Brush on Cover Your Hair so you, my friends and readers could also have a chance to win a nice boar hair brush.

Don’t you love it when you have a great hair day? Especially on a Monday morning? Honestly, it’s all the help of the boar bristle brush, whether it be this goody one or the Sephora one I mentioned a few months ago.  I don’t ever use my hair straightener anymore because of the boar bristle brushes. But I talk more in depth about that here. However, there is a difference between the two brushes I own. The sephora hair brush that I have right now is all boar. Where as the Goody one that I’m reviewing and giving away today is boar blend. Which means it has some of the regular hard plastic in with the boar. You can see what I mean in the photo shown below. 

Now that holiday season is in full bloom, http://www.CoverYourHair.com is offering 20% off to you lucky followers. Use promo code “blog1231”.  Promo code expires 12/31/11. You can get all sorts of stuff on Cover Your Hair’s website like hair accessories, baby headbands, baby hats, and of course head accessories.

Alright, I know everyone here just wants to get right to it and enter away at this giveaway. So I’ll tell you how you can enter and who is eligible to win a boar bristle hair brush too!



Good luck, and enter away!

Just in time for Black Friday

41 Comments

This is my first time working in conjunction with Well.ca, and they have graciously allowed me to host a giveaway for you guys! Just to give you a little run down, Well.ca is Canada’s largest online health, beauty, and baby products store. So basically an online place to shop for basic necessities, or … chocolate! You know I found that right away.  The site is designed to access things easily. For instance, you can navigate by brand, or even by medicine cabinet!

Well.ca would be optimal for people such as my Brother. He has a family of six, so his life is always incredibly busy with four children. Forgetting to purchasing things like q-tips, and hygiene products are often forgotten if they’re not on the grocery list. Well.ca is always available to shop online!

The best part about Well.ca is that it’s a Canadian company that has free shipping with no minimum orders to almost all locations in Canada. But we don’t forget about our American neighbors, there’s free shipping in the United States for orders over $99 Canadian. Well.ca also accept returns of unopened products up to 60 days after the date of purchase. Pretty exceptional service if you ask me!

As I stated above, I’m hosting a giveaway for you guys! It’ll be a $50 gift card to Well.ca. As I’m sure everyone knows, tomorrow is Black Friday. Well.ca has some very exciting promotions starting then and ending on Monday the 28th (Cyber Monday). During this time period, they’re giving  customers the option to choose 1 of 5 “free gifts” when they place an order of $100+. The gift options include chocolate, a very popular board game, natural cleaning products, teeth whitening products, and a beauty gift set. The gifts are valued between $25-40 each so this is a fantastic promotion for shopping for Christmas presents.

Once the promotion goes live tomorrow, all of the information will be available here: http://well.ca/blackfriday. If you make a purchase on Well.ca while the $50 giveaway is live,  you will still be entered to win the $50 as a credit-back on your order. So don’t hesitate to take advantage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals!

The new way to crimp!

2 Comments

It’s going to take a bit of practice for me to figure out how to use the 3 barrel waving iron I got from Flat Iron Experts. I first saw this interesting mechanism that resembled an old school crimping iron, on a YouTube video a year or so ago. But waves! Waves are so much better than eighties crimped hair, right? Though, I’m pretty gimpy when it comes to my hair and styling it. The only way I can make it look nice, is if I blow dry it straight with a boar bristle brush.

I’ve been growing out my hair since what seems like 2005. I don’t go into get my hair trimmed every 8-10 weeks, but now 10-12 weeks. I’m seeing a lot of growth happening. Finally. Once my hair gets down to mid-upper-arm (does that make sense?) it’ll be so fun to play around with hair styles. Like using the waving iron, a curling iron or even do some curls with the regular straightener.

But for now, I give you my best effort and this is how the 3 barrel wave iron looks like when I style it on myself.

This is NOT finished. I took a photo half way through. I just had the top layer to yet style. But so far, so good? The right hand side is complete.

A sneak peak of the side view.

I’ve seen girls with long hair, whether they have extensions in — I’m not sure. But people have made this gorgeous hair style with the waving iron.Almost like loose beachy waves have been achieved. Check out this image I’ve found on Pinterest, where the girl said she used a 3 barrel waving iron.

Pretty, right? Hers definitely looks better than mine did when I finished. I think it’s because of the length of my hair. It makes it shorten up, obviously. Which makes it more poofy. 

If you’re interested in purchasing it, cconveniently enough it’s on sale for $99.00 here.
