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.

Purple With More Purple FOTD

My hair is a bit of a mess, but it's quite windy today and if I bother with making it look nice it'll turn back into a mess within minutes anyway. I brushed out yesterday's curls, threw in my bumpit, and called it good. With the exception of black pencil liner and a few nail polishes, I've never really used Wet N Wild makeup. Yesterday I noticed some cream shadow pencils, and they were a whopping $1.99 a piece so I picked up a few. I also bought their eyeshadow palettes in Greed and Lust(used this one today). The palettes were $4.99 so I didn't expect much...I was pleasantly surprised. I only used two of the shades in the Lust palette so far, but they're pigmented and they don't have that too hard yet chalky texture some cheaper shadows have. I wouldn't use the cream shadow pencils as eyeshadows alone since they're very soft, and I'd expect them to crease within a short time. I bought them to use as liners so that doesn't matter to me. I used Techno(purple identical to UD e/s in Fishnet) on my lower lashline today. It glides on very easily, but I've only had it on for 3 hours so I can't say whether it's long lasting or not.

To sum it up, I love what I've tried so far.

I also bought their Natural Wear powder, but I have to use face products for a few days before I can judge them.

No falsies today because I wanted to try out that Rimmel mascara in the pink tube(forgot the name). For some reason my bottom lashes are longer than my top ones, so my lashes suck big ones. Here that people at Latisse? Feel free to send some free stuff my way. I won't hate you for it.

It's sunny today, so these are bright since I took pics by the window without flash.




With my sis...she has quite the extensive vocabulary for a 3 year old. She wanted me to help her find something, and when I told her I couldn't find it she said, "aww, I'm so disappointed now."
I told her to do something cute...


I used:
Wet N Wild Natural Wear Powder
Mac Pink Swoon Blush

Beautique brow pencil in brunette
L'oreal HIP Crystal Shadow Duo in Charming(purple on lid, white as highlight)
Wet N Wild Lust Palette-the two purples in the left column(pic below)-dark purple in crease, other purple over that to blend out the edges
Wet N Wild Idol Eyes in Techno-lower lashline
random black pencil liner
Rimmel mascara

Maybelline Color Sensational gloss in Sweet Tooth--LOVE THIS MORE THAN I LOVE CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER.

Eyeshadows I used:

New Lipstick Love

I recently bought two Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks(Pink Chic and Dreamy), and I love them both. Now I want more. I have more than enough lipsticks, and I buy the same types of colors over and over(how many pinky beige lipsticks does one person really need), but most likely I'll end up buying more because I am an imbecile.

I wore Pink Chic today. The eye makeup is blah...just gray + shimmery white shadow, liner on the upper lashline, and falsies. My half assed smile gives off vibes of misery and/or constipation. I promise it's neither.





I love the texture. They're really smooth and have a slightly glossy finish. I'll try to convince myself to not buy more...Ha, Tiffany, you always set yourself up for failure.

About My Hair Color...

I thought I'd do a post about my hair color since I get a lot of questions about it. Here's my current color-it's the same thing I've had the past couple months. It's pretty much just a warm brown. It's reddish when there's decent lighting, and plain golden brown in crappy light.

Just my hair since I'm too lazy to put makeup on. I turned on another light in the photo on the right so it looks a touch redder than the left photo.

No flash...i flipped my hair over my face because it was quicker than getting another pic of the back of my head. Sexy huh...


It's a box of light golden brown and a box of light reddish brown. I mix them together in a large bottle and apply it like any other dye.
Clairol Nice and Easy in Light Spice-Natural Reddish Brown
Revlon Colorsilk in Light Golden Brown

That's all there is to that. It's pretty low maintenance since it's not a really light or bright color. I might stick to this shade for a while. I just touch up my roots and leave the rest of my hair alone since it's had more than enough chemical processing.

I had to bleach first to get this lighter color I had last summer.


My hair was dyed with permanent black dye so I had no choice. Just dyeing it with regular dye would have done nothing. I used Revlon Frost and Glow in Honey to lighten a few sections at a time...I didn't feel comfortable bleaching the whole thing at once. I highlighted some large sections, then did some more a few days later. That lightened most of my hair to a nasty orange. Then I dyed my hair with a medium ash blonde...that killed most of the icky orangeness.

I think that's it. If any of that doesn't make any sense, feel free to ask whatever.

I'll leave ya with an outfit post from last weekend. I cropped my friend out since I haven't talked to her in the past couple days and I don't wanna put someone's pic over the internet without permission(even though it's from her facebook :P). I switched shoes a few times that night so I only had those on for a while. I eventually changed into another dress, but no one was taking pictures at that point. I had a bit too much to drink, so it was fun.

Hola

The Winter Olympics always have this powerful hold over me. For those seventeen days my shopping trips are quicker(or non existent), my consumption of junk food increases, and my ass(which might turn into a mound of cottage cheese if the Olympics were any longer) is glued to the couch.

Anyone wanna be my doubles luge partner? Don't act like you don't see people doing this everywhere you go.


Anyways, I got these rings at the Icing for $2 a piece. Super cheap jewelry is my favorite...wear it once and you've got your money's worth + no guilt if you lose or break it. Not that I ever lose or break my cheap jewelry. The expensive pieces always have that privelage.

Today's makeup



I kinda wanna go a little darker with my hair because I like how the color looks in this photo. Sometimes this camera makes my hair color look a little darker than it is. I'm never satisfied with my hair color though. If I darken it I'll probably think that it looks like crap, then I'll re-lighten it, and decide that it once again looks like crap.

New video...make sure you turn your speakers down if you plan on watching. My camera is LOUD...and annoying.

Outfit + New Moisturizer

First of all, I bought this moisturizer at Sally's on Wednesday, and I love it. My skin feels nice and smooth, and it absorbs quickly. I also bought the Neutrogena Wave yesterday, but I'll have to use it for a few days before I make a final decision on that one.

Today's outfit(when my jacket wasn't on that is). I'm not really crazy about Coach, but this bag is nearly two years old and has not lost any of it's shine. Even though it's just a plain patent leather tote, I love it because of the color.

For some reason one of these shoes feels loose and the other one feels fine.


I also bought the L'oreal Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Liner, and so far so good. I bought it in Gray, but it's super pigmented so it's practically a soft black. It glides on very smoothly. I think I'll buy the black and brown ones eventually.

My new video today...I used the Kat Von D Beethoven palette for the first time in quite a while. I forgot how much I love those shadows. They're so smooth and easy to apply.

OOTD and Hair

I just made a twitter, twitter.com/tiffanybasanta. Followers are very much appreciated :). I wanted to make it Bighairbiggerlashes, but of course that's a bit too long.

I made a hair curling tutorial that I'm going to upload as soon as the bf is off the damn xbox live. I also did a quick updo from an old tutorial since I've had some requests for that one too.

Updo:


Yesterday's outfit...the belt(I know you can't really see it that well) is my mom's from before I was born.
