Bespoke Labs Wide Wet-Or-Dry 1 3/4" Iron

I finally own a T3.  I needed one for wet or dry hair.  This works perfectly as it is a single pass.  Also, in this 2009 edition, it's dual voltage so I am able to take it anywhere.  My sister has one (in pink) and when we went to HKG, it short circuited on her.   Not good.  This is one expensive flat iron.  TG I had a VIB discount.

"An advanced, cutting-edge professional iron that heats up to 450 °F max—drying and straightening in one single pass!

What it does:
T3 Bespoke Labs Wide Wet-Or-Dry 1 3/4" Iron straightens and steams dry or wet hair 25% faster than the previous Bespoke flatirons—in only a single pass—without compromising salon-professional results. T3's patented Tourmaline technology ensures the heat of the iron won't damage your precious locks by sealing in the cuticle and locking in your hair's own natural moisture, so hair is left well-conditioned and healthy. With a temperature control of up to 450 °F max, it has the highest setting available in a flatiron for faster, longer-lasting drying and straightening—even on the curliest hair types. This is the only professional iron on the market that will allow you to work with this high of heat and still be able to multitask by drying and straightening in only a single pass.

Features:
-1 3/4" wide tourmaline ceramic plates and ceramic heaters.
-SmartPipes™ 2.0 architecture.
-Super-intuitive interface for instant heating.
-Fully adjustable, swift heating with 450 °F / 232 °C max.
-Comprehensive, extensive warranty.

Benefits:
-Straighten with sleeker, shinier, healthier results due to tourmaline ions and maximum far infrared heat.
-Can be used to straighten broad areas of hair for speedier styling.
-Creates deep, long-lasting results.
-Smoothes the cuticle for exceptionally smooth, silky, and shiny hair.
-Negative ions aid in locking in moisture and hair color.
-Closes the cuticle layer to protect hair.

What else you need to know:
Whether you're going overseas on business or vacation, the 2009 version is dual-voltage, so you never have to leave home without your T3! Just take along a plug adapter!"

• Carmindy's Q & A

Fabulous Fall Faces Hello lovely ladies, are you ready for a new look this season? We are in the middle of fall and some of us are still not quite sure how to update our makeup wardrobes. I'll give you my top 3 fav looks that work on any of you no matter what your age or your skin tone and I'll suggest some products that will stay within your budget. If your eyes are your feature focus then try the hot new hue of quartz on your lids. This shadow is in the plum family with a slight grayish cast and a hint of shimmer. It works on any skin tone and can be used day or night. My suggestion is to sweep it across your lids from the lash line to the crease and then smudge it under the lower lash line using an angle brush. The perfect color is the lid shade found in my Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Instant Definition Eye Shadow Palette in Quartz. Apply a highlight shade under the brow and on the inside corners of the eyes then line the upper lash line with chocolate brown eyeliner pencil. Apply black mascara and swirl on a dusty rose cream blush and matching lip gloss. Another key trend with eyes this fall is jewel toned colored eyeliner. Try pure plum, indigo blue or jade to spark up those flirty eyes of yours. Simply line the upper lash line with these new cool liners and wing them up and out at the ends of your eyes. Try my Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Forever Stay Eye Pencil for a longwearing line that won't budge. Sweep on a shimmering nude shadow across the entire lid from lashes to brow bone and apply mascara on upper lashes only. Use neutral blush and lipstick with a glossy finish to keep this look balanced. For those of you who want to play up your luscious lips, sheer berry is so very now! N.Y.C. Liquid Lip Shine in Cherrywood gives you the color, shine and moisture lips crave this time of year. I like to match this lip look with peachy cheeks and loads of black mascara. So with these 3 new fall looks to choose from and products that won't break the bank your beauty arsenal will be locked and loaded. Top of Page || Visit Carmindy.com

1. Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Instant Definition Eye Shadow Palette in Quartz. The shadow of the moment is found in this gorgeous collection.
2. Ecotools Bamboo Angled Eyeliner Brush. This soft and natural brush smudges on shadow along the lower lash line with ease.
3. Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in Smitten. The perfect dusty rose shade to pair with the new fall eye.
4. Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Forever Stay Eye Pencil in all shades. I developed these awesome liners to glide on without pulling or tugging and they last from sunup to sundown.
5. Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencils in Aqua, Green and Purple. For those daring and brave enough to go for the trendier 80's look of colored liners.
6. Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadow in Ivory. This hue works well with the bolder colored eyeliners.

8. Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Natural Highlighter in Pink Luster and Gold Luster. Both of these cream highlight duos blend across the eyes seamlessly for a sheer sparkle and luminous glow.
9. Boots #7 Blush Tint Cream in Clove. The perfect neutral blush and with it's creamy formula it keeps skin hydrated in the drier weather.
10. L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara. For full and flirty lashes that won't smudge.

Solid Perfume Ring

A rocker chic accessory that carries two scents to match your mood, from nice to naughty.  Both scents are very nice and light.  A great accessory which you can use and carry on you.

What it does:
This oversized gunmetal ring carries Kat's Sephora-exclusive fragrances, in style! The modern gothic flower with filigree is drawn by Kat, with her signature, tattoo-inspired touch. The skull ring band completes the edgy look. It comes with solid perfumes of both Saint, a sweetly innocent floral, and Sinner, a seriously seductive and sultry essence.

What else you need to know:
The ring has removable and interchangeable pans, and comes with a velvet pouch for safe keeping. The size 7 band fits most fingers. The rose part of the ring measures 1.75" in diameter and stands 1" tall.

Snow Bunnies Bag Collection

My second in this collection.  I really love the texture of the bags.  It's so soft.  You should definitely check it out.
