I have the type of hair that lays flat and also gets wavy. The one thing my hair does not have is natural volume. I was thrilled when iFABBO offered me the chance to test out Voloom’s Hair Volumizer. I was hoping this would be the device that gave me full hair.

I tested out Voloom’s Hair Volumizer on my hair. In order to use the device you have to pin up your top layer of hair. This is easy to do since Voloom provides you with clips. The idea is that you use Voloom’s Hair Volumizer on the hair under your top layer of hair. The volumizer works by separating your hairs in a checkerboard pattern which adds volume. After you add volume to your bottom and middle layers of hair, you release the clips and let your top layer of hair fall over your middle and bottom layers of hair. 

My hair is quite long and I am overdue for a haircut; so my hair has a lot of weight to it. I used Voloom as directed and did see an increase in volume I was surprised to see an increase in volume in my hair! I look forward to using Voloom every-time I want volume.

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish review

Chanel mica rose nail polish

Pictured: Chanel Mica Rose nail polish. Two coats of color, one base coat, no top coat.

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish was originally introduced in Chanel’s spring 2009 beauty collection. For the winter 2015 season, Chanel re-introduced several nail polish colors from seasons’ past; Mica Rose being one of them.

Mica Rose by Chanel is a classic, sweet pink color which is easy to wear on a daily basis. Chanel Mica Rose nail polish is also a great color for the spring 2015 season. Pale pink has been “on trend” for the past couple of years and is showing no sign of slowing down as we move into the spring 2015 season. This makes Mica Rose by Chanel an easy way to wear the light pink trend this spring season; even though the color was re-promoted for winter. 😉

I tested out Mica Rose by Chanel with two coats of color, one base coat and no top coat. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping. Love that!

Chanel Mica Rose nail polish can be found online here, here and here.

I had my eyes on this pink coat since it first came out last fall. At the time, it was hard for me to justify purchasing a bright pink coat at full price; especially since we only have about two months of cold weather during the winter season here in the San Francisco Bay Area. When the coat went on sale, I was thrilled! Although there are only a handful of cold days left until spring is in full swing, I know I can wear this coat in New York next month and also next winter. So I will still get plenty of wear out of it! It is soft, comfortable and just plain amazing! Yes, I am in love with a coat. <<sighs>>

Are there any pieces you have been eyeing since fall and were able to snap up on sale this month? If so, do tell!!
