QVC Today's Special Value (TSV) - BaByliss Curl Secret!

Right, I've only just seen this, and it's advanced orders only already, so you're going to have to be quick if you want it. However the BaByliss CurlSecret is on offer at £92.40 + £6.95 postage and packaging on QVC today, right now. The normal retail price is £120, so you're saving £20.65 in total, which is a pretty decent saving.

The advanced orders will be shipped on the week commencing 16th December, so I expect it will still be in time for Christmas gifting.

Below is the information QVC provide about the device, although I'll be reviewing the Professional version very soon:

"BaByliss Curl Secret Hair Styler. With this innovative styler, hair is automatically drawn into the ceramic curl chamber where it is softly held and heated from all directions, taking just seconds to form a perfect curl. It even has an audio beep indicator to let you know exactly when to release your hair. Effortlessly create long-lasting, free-flowing curls with the BaByliss Curl Secret.

Professional-quality styler - it features a powerful heating system with  ultra-fast heat recovery for constant high heat, plus a 20 minute sleep mode and a 60 minute automatic shut-off feature for added safety.

Let the curler do the hard work - with standard tools it's always tricky creating the perfect curl, but the Curl Secret features alternating curl direction control for fast, uniform formation and natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Three timer settings:
Setting 1: eight seconds/three beeps for loose, natural curls
Setting 2: 10 seconds/ four beeps for soft bouncy curls
Setting 3: 12 seconds/ five beeps for tight, defined curls

Two heat settings:
Low setting: for delicate, fine or coloured hair
High setting: for normal textured hair

    Ceramic curl chamber for smooth, shiny curls
    Heat ready indicator light
    Suitable for shorter and mid-length hair, not very long hair

Take me there!

Is Her Haircut Too Bootylicious For Ya, Babe?

So, Beyonce has gone for the chop... whipping off all her long locks for a pixie crop. Could this be her just fancying a change in style? Could it be due to THAT fan incident where her hair got caught mid gig? Or maybe it's that her extensions and excessive bleaching have weakened/ruined her natural hair? I don't think I could chop my hair off unless I absolutely had to (although I have a wig that I totally fooled people with, post on that coming next week) as I love my long hair, in fact I love long hair full stop!

To be honest, I'm not keen on her new style, I like her hair long, it suits her face better - maybe it'll take a bit of getting used to, or maybe it'll never grow on me (pun half intended, ha), who knows?!

Don't get me wrong, she's still stunning, I just prefer her with the hair she previously sported. What do you guys think of it?

Wordless Wednesday - Hair Don'ts!

 Featuring Taylor Momsen, Ashley Olsen, Cher Lloyd and Lady Gaga (rather heavily)!

I think the pictures say it all, don't you?

Hair Do's - Pic Heavy!

I’ve been looking at hair styles ever since booking my holiday to Egypt as I think I might be in the market for a bit of a new style (hence I'm still scanning Groupon & Wahanda for good deals), so I thought I’d share with you some of the hairstyles that I found on the hunt that have grabbed my attention for all the right reasons, and some that really haven't  (in a separate post)!

Diane Kruger with a messy side plait showing that an up-do doesn’t always have to be neat and tidy to look fantastic! I love this hair and her simple makeup and flawless skin just emphasises the look to me.

I’m loving wavy/curly bobs lately and this one on Scarlett Johansson is no different – she’s effortlessly beautiful!

In fact I love waves and curls full stop, and on Nicole Kidmans stunning red hair they have even more impact – jealz!

I’m so glad that Lily Cole has gone back to her natural colour, she looked beautiful either way but if I had hair like that naturally there’d be no way I would cover it up!! The style is effortless but not messy, and definitely something that I think would be easily achievable for most people!

Christie Brinkley shows she’s still got it with 2 full on glamorous hair styles – fabulous, no?

Rose McGowan – Can this girl do no wrong? She’s so, so beautiful and always seems to hit the nail on the head with her look!

Love Katie Holmes’ hair here, it’s so healthy and lustrous and the curls are perfect... but what is going on with her face? Is that bad/OTT airbrushing or was she caught at a bad moment on camera? Eek!

Loving Drew's hair colour, it looks a little messy but I think she still pulls it off with style!

Loving Lisa Snowdon's hippy curls - she's a stunner!

I love Audrina Partridge's hair colour and her style is so effortless yet she still manages to look amazing!

Lady Gaga shows that she can also pull off the glamorous look with ease as she sports beautiful Hollywood curls!

 Ashley Tisdale's simple but effective style is not only perfect for the beach this summer, but can also be dressed up for the evening too - love it, I'm going to try to perfect this for my holiday!

Kara Tointon looks elegant here and her sleek up-do really accentuates her long, slender neck.

Finally some of the Glee girls gracing the cover of Marie Claire, they all look amazing, with their hair, makeup and clothes – love love love this cover!
