Review: Hana 1.5" Titanium Flat Iron from Misikko

Hi Lovelys!  

Today's post is going to be a review on the Hana 1.5" Titanium Flat Iron that I received from Misikko.  I had never used a Hana flat iron before but had read many positive reviews on them in the past, so I was more then happy when I was contacted by Misikko for a review.

When I received my package from Misikko, I was blown away.  I was only expecting the flat iron alone, but received an entire box full of goodies!  They sent me a gift set! *happy dance* :)

 Here is what came in my package:

•  Hana 1.5" Titanium Flat Iron
• Luxe Heat Proof Storage Pouch
• Heat Proof Silicone Mat
• Special Edition Tin Case 
• Hana 2 fl oz Shine Shield Protectant
• Hair Brush
• Misikko Hair Towel
• Hana Eye Mask
• Hand Sanitizer
• Nail Files
• Artificial Flowers
• Elf eyeliner
• Elf eyeshadow quad

 I didn't take pictures of everything because I wanted to focus on the actual flat iron.

As most of you know, I have naturally wavy/curly hair.  

Here is a before and after picture of my hair:

As you can see from the AFTER picture...my hair is silky, shiny and completely straight.  This flat iron ran through my hair so smoothly without any snagging.  It left my hair soft and shiny, NOT dry and dull.  After washing my hair, I applied the Hana Shine Shield to protect it from the heat, give it some shine and eliminate frizz.  I flat ironed my hair in small sections.  I tried it with both dry and damp hair.  It personally worked better for me when my hair was more on the dry side.  When my hair was damp, I had to run the flat iron through each section more then 3 times and added more of the Hana Shine Shield to help eliminate frizz.  When my hair was dry, I ran the flat iron through my hair 2-3 times and didn't need to add more of the Shine Shield.  It took less product and less effort to straighten it dry but either way, I got the same end result (soft, shiny, straight hair). 

This flat iron comes with a manual that gives you 4 styling tips:  Flat Straight, Soft Curls, Flip Out, and Flip In. I like to flip mine out as you can see in the picture.  

PROS: 

• Runs through hair smoothly without any snagging
• Leaves hair feeling soft and healthy
• 1.5" plates makes it easier and faster to straighten thick and long hair
• On and Off switch
• Adjustable Temperature Dial - 5 Settings from 140-450 F
• Long, heavy duty swivel cord
• Includes Luxe Heat Proof Storage Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat, & Special Edition Tin Case
• Two year warranty

CONS:

I have no complaints about functionality of this flat iron.  The only potential con that I could come up with is, the price.  This particular flat iron retails for around $239.99 (sale price - $174.99) at Misikko.com.  However, if you really want to invest in a high end, great quality flat iron, then this would be one of them!  I've used multiple flat irons over the years and this one blows all of them out of the water.  I even like it better then my 1" CHI flat iron. 

My overall thoughts:  

I would definitely recommend this Hana 1.5" Titanium Ionic flat iron to my friends and family, therefore, I would also recommend it to my viewers!  If you're looking for a professional, high end, great quality flat iron that will last, then you should look into this one or even another one of the Hana professional flat irons.  I would suggest reading the reviews for these Hana flat irons and you will see what the hype is all about.  Most of them, if not all of them, have a 5 star rating.

Pink & Purple ELF Look / Tutorial *Requested*

Hello Lovelys!

I received a request from JaimeMonroe30 to do a Pink and Purple makeup tutorial. This is a very quick and simple look using my ELF Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette. In this palette you get 100 eyeshadows for only $10. :)  Some of the colors are hit and miss but overall it's a pretty nice palette for the price! ;)

Haul / Swatches: L'Oreal Project Runway Limited Edition Collection

Hey Beauties!

I posted a haul video on Sept 26, 2011 with the new L'Oreal Project Runway (LE) Collection.  I found this collection at my local Walgreens when they were having a BOGO on L'Oreal products.  The cashier also gave me $1 off each product with the $1 off coupons she had at the register ($10 off total).  She was super nice and that made my day!  ;)  I just saw this collection at Ulta the other day, so if you haven't seen it yet, check there!

Here's what I got:

 Left to Right:  Cockatoo's Wisdom, Cockatoo's Mystery , Owl's Night, Amazon Flash

 

 

CHARMING COCKATOO'S BLUSH

This a peachy pink blush.

SULTRY RAVEN'S BLUSH

This is a mauvey pink blush.  This suits my light complexion well!  love this blush!

 

SULTRY RAVEN'S POUT

This is a nudey peach lipstick.  I love nudes so I love this color!

SULTRY RAVEN'S GAZE

 

Note: The silver and black in this palette are the same as the ones in the L'Oreal HIP metallic Duo in Platinum.

CHARMING COCKATOO'S GAZE

 WATCHFUL OWL'S GAZE

Note:  The Gold and black/brown in this palette are similar to the one in the L'Oreal HIP duo in Gilded.

I've used all the products from this collection, and do like them!  Some of the eyeshadow's are dupes from other L'Oreal shadows so if you have those, you don't need these unless you want the other colors in the palette. 

I hope to do some tutorials with these soon!  ;)

Have you guys purchased from this collection?  If so, what are your thoughts?
