I haven't posted up here in such a long time but when I found these haircare products I felt they deserved a post all about them! But first things first, a little back story....all my life I've tried to find hair products that worked for my hair because when I was about eight I went to a hair salon and needless to say the perm they gave me ruined my hair. Ever since then my hair has been really damaged, dry and with split ends galore. 

I think I've tried every product imaginable since I was a little girl to make my hair healthy looking but nothing has ever worked. I've tried drugstore brands and even more expensive brands, shampoos and conditioners which always either left my hair dry or super oily looking, even frizz free products to tame my hair and none of them ever worked. It's been exhausting and frankly, I felt like giving up. I had found an Asian heat protectant hair serum years ago that worked wonders but then, wouldn't you know it....they discontinued it.     

 And, then, this year I discovered these Asian products below and everything changed! The first product I found was the Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask. The smell of this hair mask is SO good. It smells like honey nectar and flowers and ambrosia of the gods...it's the best way to describe it to be honest. One of my favorite scents! It transformed my hair and gave it back all it's moisture. I think I might have overused it to be honest....because after awhile it started to over moisturize my hair but that only means it did it's job and I didn't need to use it anymore which frankly, kind of bummed me out cause the scent is amazing. I definitely give it 5 stars. One thing when you over moisturize your hair, you need to add protein back into it so I started using a protein hair mask but I'll get to that in another post probably.

 The next product I found was the Mise En Scene Serum. It's a wonderful serum that smoothed out my hair and is not greasy. It's a heat protectant and makes my hair super shiny! And omg, the smell....like water lilies. It smells so good. I'd buy it just for the scent alone to be honest. I'll definitely be purchasing this again when I run out.

Find the Mise En Scene Serum here.  

Another serum I had to have was the Fino Hair Serum also a heat protectant....I wanted something that smelled like the hair mask and this does indeed smell like it. I like to layer it with the other serum but try not to apply too much as it can get weighed down. I definitely think I'll be buying this again.

The last set of products I got and absolutely favorite is this shampoo and conditioner set by Tsubaki. It's the Moist and Repair haircare set and wow! Just wow! I have NEVER found a hair conditioner that has worked for my hair like this one. It doesn't make it greasy and makes my hair look so healthy. I use a lot after I shampoo and really squish it into my hair so every strand gets coated.

This shampoo and hair conditioner has changed my life. My hair is 95% less frizzy without even adding anything else and it looks sooooo incredibly healthy even with my split ends. If these ever get discontinued, I'll be sooo incredibly sad. They're beyond amazing!!!! And that is why I had to post this...cause I've finally found my perfect haircare items after searching forever. I don't think I'll ever use anything on my hair again unless it's from Japan or Korea. My goodness, but I find their products to be far superior than anything I've ever tried. I'm in love.

I love it when I get pretty packages in the mail. I had to share this Influenster Box I got because there are a few things in it I adore. The blogging gods and goddesses must have heard me because just when I needed a new hairbrush I got one in this VoxBox. Perfect timing!! And what a fabulous brush it is. Look how purty it is and it works beautifully. #ecotools

Let's see where to start...how about the ones I liked least. That would have to be the Rimmel Eyeliner and Makeup Remover. I think I had a reaction to the eyeliner because my poor eyes got red right where I put it and then the makeup remover wouldn't work. I was in a panic so I grabbed some olive oil and off came the eyeliner. Whew. Not sure I'll be using those two again.

I haven't used the Thyme herb yet but I'm sure I'll come across a recipe that I can use it in. Smells SO lovely.

The Fruit Vines Cherry Licorice were yummy, but I think I prefer Strawberry Twizzlers. Ha! #sweettooth 

Really liked the feeling of the NYC New York Color Expert Lipstick in Sugarplum but not so in love with the color. You know me, I love BRIGHT lippys. giggle...

I received a small packet of the Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum. It went on really nice and smooth. Can't say it did much for my skin since I don't really have any wrinkles. It did leave it nice and hydrated.

Okay, to what I've been most excited about. The CANDY CANE LANE PEPPERMINT GREEN TEA! I love this stuff. You have to try it. It's sweet and tastes of peppermint treats. I had to go out and get a box of it for myself and yes I've already had two cups of it as I write this in my cute new little expresso cups you see below. It's freaking delicious! It has peppermint, decaf green tea, orange peel, vanilla bean, blackberry leaves, cinnamon, milk thistle, roasted carob and roasted chicory in it! Lots of good stuff. By the way, the cute little expresso cups came all the way from the UK...I seem to buying a lot of pretties from the UK lately. *wink* Found them on EBay in case you want to get your own. *wink wink*

Happy Tea Drinking!! *wink*

REVIEW ♡ Misikko Hana Flat Iron ♡ A Fairytale Dream Come True!

So I've been using this wonderful little hair straightening appliance by Misikko called a Hana Flat Iron...it's been a little over a month since I started testing it and I have to say I love it just as much as when I used it for the first time!! This is a pretty awesome little tool to have in your hair arsenal. First before I get into reviewing it I wanted to let you guys know a little back story about my hair...yes, it has a life of it's own. lol... I've had a hate hate affair with my hair ever since I was little that's only just recently turned into a love affair...and here's the story behind it and as every great story starts with Once Upon A Time...that's what I'll start with. *wink*

Once Upon A Time...there was a little princess (Yes, that's me!) and her mother the Queen lived in a lovely little Kingdom. The Queen adored her little Princess and wanted her to look her very best but of course the Queen loved...I mean, LOVED curly hair and she wanted her little Princess to have the most gorgeous of curly hair in all of their kingdom!! So she took the little Princess to the Kingdoms salon where she instructed them to give her princess the loveliest of curly hair in all the kingdom. (Oh vey, they gave moi a perm.) By the time they were done with the Princess's hair all the princess wanted to do was say "Off with their heads!!" (Which I'm sure you'd felt like saying more often than not yourself peeps...be honest. Ha!) Her poor hair became damaged, dry, brittle and frizzed out beyond belief. And yes, I have the picture to prove it...and no it will never see the light of day. Just saying. Just imagine an electrocuted poodle. No exaggerating here peeps!

From that point on the Princess tried every potion, conditioner, special product to smooth and repair her poor blonde tresses...some worked temporarily while others just didn't do very much of anything. Other potions made her hair too moisturized making it look greasy and others did the opposite and dried her lovely hair out. After much searching and testing out, the Princess finally found the right products for her hair but alas was never able to achieve that super straight look she had always dreamed of....that is until today!! (You know where I'm going with this, don't you?) a great wizard named "Misikko" created a fabulous new fangled appliance called a Hana Flat Iron and the Princess finally had her super straight gorgeous hair! .....no THE END here...this is just...The Beginning...  *wink wink*

So, yes I have been through quite a journey with my hair but it was worth it because I constantly get complimented on it and I love making my hair looking pretty. It makes me feel good. Plain and simple. I just can't concentrate on anything if I haven't glammed up my hair.

So on to the Review...this Misikko Flat Iron came in a box which you can see below FULL with all kinds of goodies!! I felt like it was Christmas to be honest with you...they really know how to make all their customers feel special. I didn't expect all the extra little gifts that came with my flat iron...I was just soooo pleasantly surprised. It came with an eyelash curler, an ELF Lip Gloss, ELF Eye Shadow Palette, Hand Sanitizer, Nail Buffers, a pretty white silk rose, a heart shaped box full of bath melts that are shaped like rose petals, it even had a Christmas Angel Ornament!



Along with those extras it also came with a Bag to store your Flat Iron in, a rubber mat so you can put down your flat iron without worrying about it burning the counter top, and an awesome shine & heat protecting serum that I'm seriously going to be restocking up on when I use up this gigantic 8 oz bottle of it! I highly reccomend it too peeps. It smells delightful, and really works to make your hair shiny and best of all it protects your hair from the heat.

Before I tried this flat iron out, I'd only ever used a $30 flat iron...this one is conisderably more costly at $239. It's a lot for a hair appliance but I have to say it's worth it. This is not just a name you're buying but a very well made hair appliance that really gives you results. With my $30 flat Iron it never really got my hair really straight, like silky smooth straight like the Hana does and it always grabbed on pieces of my hair on the plates. The Hana doesn't do that at all...it slides through my hair with no issues at all. It's extremely well made and made with 100% Ceramic!

I don't think they mention it here but I love how long the cord is on my Hana Flat Iron...I don't know why but every time I buy some sort of hair appliance they always have short cords which makes it hard to maneuver. Not so with my Hana. Check out the pics peeps!! That cord is LONG!! The flat iron came in a little box too...it was put in much nicer when I first got it but I just placed the flat iron in there right now for the picture sake. It also came along with some information brochures about how to take care of it and it's benefits. 

Here are some of the Hana Flat Iron's features:

I love how you can use it on wet hair and dry too so it won't damage your hair if you perhaps didn't fully dry your pretty tresses. It's really easy to use...I just plug it in and hit the switch on the inside of the flat iron (you can see it in the picture where the flat iron is laying on it's side above) and put it to the desired heating setting. I just put mine up to 450 which works fine for me. I apply a small...very small amount of the shine heat protectant serum to my hair from my neck down and grab a piece of my hair and simply glide the flat iron down slowly. Voila! Super straight shiny hair. Just repeat all the way round your head. *wink*

It's kind of funny because my hair actually looks better when I do it myself with my flat iron then when I went to the salon which incidentally was just one day before I received my Flat Iron. They just didn't know how to treat my hair very well...it got all tangled and it came out dry looking when I went to the salon but when I used the Hana Flat Iron I had awesome results. Smooth, shiny and silky.

Now, on to the photos of moi's hair...I know you've been waiting for this...lol...you can see how straight it got my hair...no easy feat believe me!! Look how shiny it is! I'm pretty much in love with my Hana Flat Iron. Frankly, I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to it. *wide eyed stare* I think I might cry...it's that awesome. I take my hair care very seriously. giggle...I do! Well, okay, half seriously and half fun! I totally recommend you check out Misikko peeps...two thumbs up. 

In these pics, I used Misikko's Shine/Protectant Serum, Missiko Hana Flat Iron on my hair. Lipstick is Wet N Wild Dollhouse Pink, Nails by Pixi in a neon bubble gum pink, Houndstooth Dress by Love Culture and I'm wearing my Margarita Bloom Aphrodite Perfume Oil and Spike It Bracelet. xoxo
