I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I spent it with family and had a great time!
I have been doing a little shopping, but I still have a lot to do for Christmas. Below are my fave items that I have received for my honest review this week. They would all make great gifts, or just given to yourself for a treat. They are:
HSI Professional Glider Straightening Heated Brush
HSI Professional Glider Straightening Heated Brush ($129.00 USD) — The Glider Straightening Brush features an ionic ceramic tourmaline-infused hot plate that uses 4 HeatBalance® microsensors to regulate the temperature and evenly distribute heat so that fewer passes are needed through your precious hair.
That’s the best way to get frizz-free silky results that shine while protecting your hair cuticles from overheat exposure. Plus, the plate heats up in seconds so you don’t have to lose any time while adjusting the temperature setting via the digital display between 350-450°F to suit your particular hair type and texture.
What I think: This is not only so cool, it is very easy to use! I have been wanting to try a heated brush, I thought it looked like a fast way to style hair. And it is! Once I heat it up, I just pass it slowly through my hair. It straightens my hair without leaving it flat. It isn’t stick straight, just smooth and very pretty. I definitely recommend this for mornings that you want to brush your hair and go, but get a style too.
Ellis Faas Hot Lips L408 – BABY PINK ($35 USD) –Hot Lips is Ellis’ latest revolutionary texture for the lips. Because it’s absolutely packed with pigment, you’ll only need a tiny bit of the non-greasy Hot Lips to add vibrant colour. Hot Lips are extremely longwearing, without the risk of drying out your lips. A little goes a very long way!
Ellis Faas Glazed Lips L308 – Sheer Soft Pink ($35 USD) — A highly-pigmented lip-gloss for an ultra-wet, yet long-lasting splash of colour that combines transparency and intensity. Non-sticky, so providing superior comfort both in application and on the lips. Plant seed oils improve hydration and protect your lips.
What I think: Ellis Faas makeup is so cool! These come in a silver bullet and twist up to reveal gorgeous lip color. The Hot Lips is an opaque lip color and can be used as a stain. The Glazed Lips is a sheer gloss that looks great alone or over other lip products. Both are very luxe and gorgeous!

The pro-vitamin b5 is known for its protective properties of the fiber capillary, helping repair and soften the hair. Hair and scalp become re-balanced, with the added benefit of a light cherry, violet, and vanilla scent.
What I think: This is a really cool system. My hair gets oily sometimes so it’s nice to treat it to a great deep cleaning. You use the mask first, then the shampoo. I brush the mask on my scalp and leave it on for about 5 minutes then rinse it out and use the shampoo. The system leaves my hair so soft and clean, without drying it out.

With scientifically-proven NIA-114™ technology at its core, the lightweight cream efficaciously fights tech neck, rebuilds skin architecture that is often weakened over time due to recurrent movement, and imparts generous moisturization to strengthen skin against further breakdown.
What I think: I’m so happy that they made this amazing neck cream in a lighter formula! It still works as well, but it isn’t greasy. So, it can be used easily in the day time as well as as a night time treatment! Neck creams are so important, but I know I’m not going to use one if it makes my neck oily.

What I think: These smell amazing! I love using any products that smells tropical. After using both products my hair is soft and frizz free. I love that they are safe for my color treated hair and are natural and organic.
Z Palette Mirror Z Palette ($25 USD) — The patent-pending Mirror Z Palette not only has the see-through clear window, but also features a high quality, pull-out mirror that attaches magnetically to the inside clear window. Metal Stickers included: 16pcs (8pc Round, 8pc Square)
What I think: This is such a cool product. To use this, find color makeup that is in separate pots, or in a palette where you only use one or two of the colors. Then take it out of the pot, affix an included magnetic sticker and arrange in the palette. Then you can take anywhere!
My only issue is that I haven’t been successful in depoting the couple of makeup pots I’ve tried (and I’ve followed directions). But I am going to keep trying because I have so much makeup I keep in drawers and bins. I would love to arrange them in one palette so they will get used!
