T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer review

It is always fun to get a new hair dryer! My old hair dryer has been chugging away for close to ten years now, and my daughter plans to take it with her to college. So, this means mama needs a new hair dryer!

I have heard great things about T3’s products, so I decided to give them a whirl. The T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer offers 5 heat settings, three speed settings, and advertises ten million negative ions per second on your hair. It automatically adjusts and optimizes itself to dry your hair perfectly. Sounds great!

The T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer comes with four attachments. I typically only use the “Drying Concentrator.” That being said, it is nice to have the other attachments just in case I need them.

How easy is the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer to use? Well, I would say it is really easy. The attachments offer regular drying-which is the one I use the most, the “Styling Concentrator” gives your hair more volume as you dry it, the “Diffuser” is great for wavy or curly hair, as well as textured styles, and lastly, the “Smoothing Comb” is great for use with a paddle brush to create smooth, straight styles.

The controls on the handle are easy to use to adjust temperature and speed. All in all, I found the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer does the job it needs to do well. It dries my hair quickly and doesn’t over-dry it-like cheaper hair dryer’s will do, and the ones we find in hotel rooms will do! Yikes!

My favorite hair care products:

My hair is staying healthy and looks fresh after drying with the T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer. I have been using it for roughly ten days now. Love it! So, if you are in the market for a new dryer, this one works well!

Thanks for stopping by!

The return of frosted lipstick

MAC Frost Lipstick

mac frost lipstick review

The return of frosted lipstick. Pictured from left: MAC Frost Lipstick: Angel / Plum Daddy / Fabby / nail polish /

Frosted lipstick is back! Remember in the late 1980s and early 1990s reaching for blue eyeliner and pink frosted lipstick? A can of hairspray nearby? Large hoop earrings and crop tops? Oh yeah, that look is back, minus the hairspray; and the crop tops aren’t boxy, they are form fitting. Oh, and that’s how teenagers dress, not us; except for the make-up. So, let’s talk frosted lipstick!

Frosted lipstick cycles in and out of fashion, which is fine, because we don’t invest in lipstick expecting it to last years. I mean, ew.

The look of frosted lips is iconic when tied to 1960s style and late 1980s/early 1990s style. It even had a mild resurgence in the early 2000s. Now, in 2024, it is back and the trend is strong.

Unlike the 1990s, you are not relegated to one color of frosted lipstick. Your hue doesn’t need to be pink, just a frosted color which works for you and your wardrobe, as well as your coloring. Love that!

We learned in the early 2000s that MAC cornered the market on the perfect frosted lipstick. I stand by that discovery from twenty years ago. The best way to rock the frosted lipstick trend is with a color from the MAC Frost Lipstick collection. I found three hues I love, and I will be wearing these this summer into fall.

MAC Frost Lipstick goes on smoothly and gives you just the perfect frosty coverage. Fabby reminds me of the late 1980s and early 1990s while Plum Daddy is a great hue for evenings, as well as moving into the fall season. Angel is a great alternative and perfect for daytime during the summer. Love these hues!

What do you think of the return of the frosted lipstick trend for 2024? Will you rock a frosted lip once again?

Thanks for stopping by!
