Flat Iron Winner + New Balm

I feel like a fistful of shit today. I think it's just a fever, but the lack of sleep makes it seem worse. On a positive note, it's not herpes or the bubonic plague.

I made a list of the entries for the Missiko giveaway, and used the random sequence thing on random.org to assign a number to each. Then I used the random number generator. The winner is...

Veronika!

This isn't much of a fotd since I'm not exactly looking my best today, but I bought two N.Y.C Lip Sliders Tinted Balms recently. I wanted to show how pigmented this one is. I'm wearing Sugar Coated here. For a tinted balm the color payoff is great. I despise the sliding packaging though; it can be a real pain in the ass if you accidentally slide it all the way off and have to put it back on. I also have Sugar Kiss, but it's extremely sheer and barely shows up on me.
This pic is a little off in color, but you can still see that the balm provides noticeable color. It's actually baby pink, not nude beige like it seems here(and my hair looks dark brown instead of red here. Just bad lighting I guess).
I didn't notice the Cookie Monster sticker next to me until I uploaded this to the computer.

So anyone in need of a light pink tinted balm that actually shows up, this one is only two dollars and change.

My sister makes this face a lot in photos. She thinks its funny, just like sticking her butt up to the glass door and dancing.

Flatiron Giveaway + Another Awesome Gloss

Misikko.com sent me a Hana Professional Pink Flat Iron , and I also get to do a giveaway. They also carry other flat iron brands like Chi and FHI plus numerous hair dryers.

Ok, infomercial voice off. I don't flat iron my hair much just because I'd rather have my hair large and in charge. I do think that this is a really good iron though. It heats up to 450 degrees(very quickly too), but the temperature is adjustable. I used it on 370, and it did the job. I tested it out on my brother's wavy-ish thick ass hair, and it made his hair really smooth...I put it up to 450 degrees for him though. Since it glides over my hair so easily, it curls well. I used it to make my hair wavy earlier(pics below). Then I flipped my head over and scrunched until it was big and messy-ish. So the iron gets an A from me since I can't think of anything bad to say about it. However, at $119.99 it's obviously steeper in price than your average Remington/Conair irons. Despite that, if you're really into the smooth/sleek hair look I would definitely recommend it. I used it on my hair in this post from Monday btw.

I made my hair wavy with the straightener today. The waves were originally smoother and flatter(nice, just not what I was going for today) so I did some scrunching to mess it up a bit. I wore another Maybelline Colorsensational gloss today(Sweet Caramel). I need to buy more of them because I LOVE THEM. For my eyes I used Wet n Wild's Greed palette + Idol Eyes pencil in Envy on my lower lashine...with black liner and mascara of course.

My first time making one of these disclaimers ~
Misikko.com sent me the iron for free- I wasn't paid to review it. I promise I didn't just type out a bunch of horseshit just because I didn't have to pay for it.
