Two Hairstyles, One Tool and GIVEAWAY!
There are 2 reasons to justify splurging on a product: it gets great reviews and it serves more than one purpose. I can wholeheartedly say that this product satisfies both requirements. Ever since I started using the Hana Professional Ceramic Flat Iron by Misikko (a website featuring many professional straighteners), I've discarded my bulky hot rollers and old flat iron. This is one sleek tool that straightens and curls equally well.
Take a look at the exquisite packaging this comes in:
The pink pouch is chic and is small enough to stow into a carry-on bag. The pink pouch comes in a beautiful tin box, which would make this a great gift too. For every-day storage, you can use the black pouch. The rubber mat is meant to hold the hot flat iron while in use, but I don't think it's necessary because they've done a good job at insulating the iron in such a way that it doesn't harm surfaces. The iron itself is compact, and the temperature dials and on-off switches are neatly tucked inside the flat iron. The manual also tells you what temperature to choose depending on the condition of your hair. Cool.
Compared to my old flat iron, the Hana Professional is so much more compact, travel-friendly and just plain stylish. I feel like I'm channeling Elle Woods with this thing.
In the picture below, you can see my normal hair on the left, my straightened hair in the middle, and my curled hair on the right. I straightened my hair in no time, and the Shine Shield serum made my hair look commercial-ready. After looking up a quick YouTube tutorial on how to curl my hair using a flat iron, I got perfect beach-tousled wavy locks.
This is seriously the best flat iron I've ever tried. It not only does a great job at 2 hairstyles without damaging my hair, but it is also super sleek and chic. Misikko also carries Chi straighteners and Corioliss flat irons, which have received rave reviews elsewhere. I'm so happy that I can now sport straight hair and be ready for the must-have summer hair style--messy waves.
AND NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY
Don't just take my word for it. Try this puppy out for yourself! Here how you can win your own Hana Professional Ceramic Flat Iron! This giveaway is open only to readers in the USA and Canada. Sorry international readers--not my rules, but I'll hold another giveaway in the future for everyone!

And the Winner is...
First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway for the SkinMD lotion. An especially big cyber hug for those of you who posted about my giveaway on your blogs. It was totally optional, and I really appreciate you taking the trouble to do that. Of course, this giveaway wouldn't have been possible without SkinMD's sponsorship, so a big thanks to them too! Without further ado, the randomly chosen winner of a full-size SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion is....
Linda Phuong Tran from the YELLOWJELLYBABY blog!
Congratulations sweetie! I love your blog and thanks for commenting on my silly posts, I appreciate it very much. :-)
If you didn't win, please don't lose heart. I am planning to hold a giveaway of my own once I hit a certain number of followers! Thanks for entering everyone!
xoxo

Review and Giveaway (!!!) of Skin MD Natural's Shielding Lotion
Be sure to read through the entire post to know how to enter a giveaway to win a full-size bottle of Skin MD's Shielding Lotion! Now for the review:
I'll get right to it: I've found an amazing moisturizer in Skin MD Natural's Shielding Lotion:
I have been looking for a moisturizer for a long time that is deeply moisturizing and yet doesn't make me feel like I have Vaseline smeared all over my face. I've tried Burt's Bees day cream before, and although it worked well for me at first, it soon landed on my regrets list after breaking me out and the formula getting shady. On the other end of the spectrum was Biore's Dual Fusion moisturizer, whose light formula was nice to put on, but too light to really moisturize my skin.
Enter Skin MD's Shielding Lotion. This moisturizer works by forming "a protective barrier on the skin [that] keeps out irritants and chemicals. It also allows the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess," Dr. Brian Zogg, dermatologist (quote from Skin MD's website).
1. Formula: ohh man, this stuff is so lightweight that it goes on like silk and absorbs quickly. As I put it on, it feels cool and refreshing. The first time I used it, I was so happy with the sensation that I ran out of the bathroom and put it on the hubby's face too!
2. No Scent: Nose snobs, take note. I cannot pick up on any scent on this lotion, which tells me it doesn't contain anything it doesn't really need to moisturize your skin. Props for parsimony!
3. It works! I wouldn't be raving about this lotion if it didn't work so beautifully. My favorite time to put this on is at night after I've done my skincare routine. The shielding lotion allows my acne treatment to be much more effective because it's acting like a bodyguard against new toxins entering my skin. The SkinMD brochure also recommends that if you use anti-wrinkle treatments at night, try putting on this lotion at the end to help the treatment work better.
Not just for the face: This lotion can be applied anywhere on the body as well. I tend to dab it on my hands, which are perpetually dry due to the weather. My hands literally look younger when I put this on. (BTW, a lotta women take really great care of their face so you can't tell their age, but they totally neglect their hands! Hands are a total giveaway of your age! Take care of them!!!)
The But: The one drawback of this lotion is that it doesn't contain SPF. Happily, Skin MD does carry an SPF formula on their website. I plan to get the Shielding Lotion for night use, and the SPF formula for day use.
Overall, I give this lotion an A+. I will definitely be repurchasing it and am so happy I was introduced to it!
