Irresistible Me Ruby Auto Rotating Curling Iron Review

Hi guys,

I have been trying this IrresistibleMe Ruby Auto Rotating Curling Iron since quite some time now. And I also did a video, but sadly the focus got wrongly locked and it is not in focus, though I uploaded it anyway, coz I worked quite hard on it. It might help someone 🙂

About the Ruby Curler:  The Ruby curling iron is an innovative rotating barrel with auto recovery function that gives you perfect curls every time.

The barrel is ceramic, fused with tourmaline to easily create silky, smooth curls. The diamond coating enhances its durability and heat transfer, unlike conventional ceramic irons.

The tourmaline gemstone is a natural source of negative ions and far-infrared heat, which provides faster styling.

Negative ions eliminate frizz and lock in moisture by closing the cuticle to create smooth, shiny hair.

The temperature remains constant curl after curl, allowing you to work quickly, while attaining consistent results.

But that is not all! The Ruby Curling Wand comes with an array of features that will make your life so much easier:

No frizzy hair – the tourmaline technology with negative ions leaves your hair smooth and shiny by sealing hair oils, color and moisture in
Fast heating (less than a minute) and variable temperature control (210C/410F)
Intelligent – the LED screen shows you the temperature you are at
It has an auto stand by feature after 1hour
1 year limited warranty

Price: $119

At first, it is very light and that’s the best part, coz curling hair takes about 20-25 minutes and if you use a heavy curler, the shoulders and hands pain very bad at the end of it.

The best part is the auto rotating, it makes life so much easier! You do not have to fold every section of your hair on the barrel and just sit and click on the ‘Right’ and ‘Left’ buttons, keeping your hands free 😀

Features
Directions

It comes with 5 different temperature settings i.e. 260,300,340,380 and 410 degrees in Fahrenheit. And the cord is pretty long and rotates 360 degrees, so you can move around or be in front of a mirror even if the switch is a bit far. It has universal voltage, so would work in all countries. It comes with US plug and you will need a converter if you want to use it here in India/or as per your country.

Since I have very thick hair and it’s in layers i.e some are short and some are long, it takes me about 15 minutes for loose beachy waves and about 25 minutes for smaller, tighter curls.

The barrel is 26mm and it heats up pretty quick, hardly takes a minute. I usually go for the mid temperature i.e. 340 and loose beachy waves.

I love the volume, I have pretty straight hair which is usually flat, and I absolutely love curls and volume on me! I use the BBlunt Curl Defining Leave in Cream before curling and use the L’Oreal Professionnel Beach Waves Spray after curling, still it stays on me only for a day. I won’t blame the curler here, it’s my hair! Coz that has happened even when lots of mousse was applied and I was given super tight curls during my engagement, not to forget ton of hair spray. But curls open up on my hair quickly and easily.

I also like IrresistibleMe’s Diamond Straightener and the 8 in 1 Curler, they also have a lot of different hair extensions and hair care products. I have a 10% off coupon code for you guys, it’s ‘IrresistibleBhumika‘ and is valid on the entire website www.irresistibleme.com

They have Free Shipping above $150, so below that, there would be some shipping charges. You can combine your order to get free shipping, I was not charged any customs duty on this.

Overall, I would say, it is very convenient and easy to use, and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good hair curler. It is slightly expensive but then the auto rotating feature is something which is it’s USP and makes our life easy! And the rotating feature is not seen in majority hair curlers, and you have to twist each section of your hair on the barrel each and every time.

What do you think of the IrresistibleMe Auto Rotating Curling Iron?

Haircut at Juice Salon: I went Short! #GetTheLookWithJUICE

Haircut at Juice Salon: I went Short! #GetTheLookWithJUICE

Hi guys,

I had not got a haircut since December i.e. last I had got it done just before my wedding. So, it had been a good 6-7 months and my hair desperately needed a cut. Last week I went to the Juice Salon at Inorbit Mall, Vashi to try out their new monsoon haircut + style. Ronnie, a super talented and an amazing hairstylist came down all the way to Vashi for me.

You must have seen this pic on my Instagram.

Juice has come up with 3 new hairstyles for the monsoons, 2 for women and 1 for men. I tried out one according to my face shape and hair texture. Ronnie started with washing my hair and then applying a serum which also works as a heat protectant for the blow drying later.

She chopped off 4-5 inches from the ends. Now this is the first time I have gone this short at a time 😀 I have always had long hair and hardly go short,so this is a refreshing change.

She layered on the top section to give the hair volume on the crown. And side swept bangs to frame the face which I am completely loving. She made sure she gives a haircut which is just was-and-go on regular days. And it indeed is, I am completely loving it.

Ronnie wanted soft,wavy curls at the ends but not those tong ones, a much softer version. She curled the ends with a hair straightener and then blow dried the crown section to give volume.

She gave me a lot of hair tips about serums,shampoos and hair styling products in general,it was so good chatting with her. She used a hair spray on her palm and gently used it on the top for the bangs to stay in place.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Me and Ronnie..

This is how my hair looked from behind.

Lakme Salon #TheSculptLook Makeover,Vlog & Contest

Hi guys,

A few days ago I went to the Lakme Salon to try out the new Sculpt Look. Read all about the hair and makeup in The Sculpt Collection HERE.

There are various hairstyles and different makeup looks which form part of the Sculpt collection, it is all about the chiseled,sculpted look and a lot of contouring on the face, sharp hairstyles,etc.

You can always get it tweaked a bit according to your face shape and how you want to wear it. I loved the Marsala Stairs haircut and style, but that was something very,very sharp and the stylist Shefali told me I would need to straighten my hair all the time for the effect of the stairs to show otherwise it would not look good on me. Another option was The Pixel Bob but then again I did not want to go that short. Rest were buns which would work perfect with gowns or something Indian.

Hair

We went with the Victorian Matte look, but since I was wearing a casual tee, the bun would not have looked good and we changed that into a sculpted pony with a pouf and a lot of back combing at the front.

For the makeup, the entire face was contoured and I was given a darker, warmer base. A wash of warm gold for the eyes and inner half of the lower lashline. The very long winged eyeliner did not work for my face, so we went with kitten flick and kept the lips matte and dark too.

A closer look at the makeup

For the lips, Pallavi used the new Lakme Absolute Sculpt Matte lipstick in ‘Pink Me Up‘ and applied it with a brush, giving the lips a perfect sculpted shape.

Since the lights at the salon were bright and yellow, colors appear a bit different.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Dove Hamper Giveaway- 5 winners

‘It was a Saturday night, I was getting ready for the biggest party in town, when the mirror asked me, do you think your hair is well nourished?’ Well, I have virgin hair and I haven’t really colored or straightened my hair ever. I have just got the Cysteine treatment done once which is very safe and lasts hardly a month and a half or so. But I have been hardly oiling my hair from the last one year or so and I know my hair has turned drier. Also a lot more unmanageable and frizzy. I can so no, not well nourished enough.

Come winters and my biggest problem is dandruff. The scalp is super dry and itchy these days and I have been trying 1-2 anti-dandruff shampoos but no luck yet. I know I have to take extra care of my hair too and not just skin, and that goes for most of us I believe. We all take our hair for granted and torcher it. No one would dare risk their skin with any new treatment or product easily. But for hair, bring on the heat and hairstyles,right! 😀

I think its the perfect time for me to try this Dove range as it promises to nourish my dry hair and ends, and also help with dandruff at the same time.
