FHI HEAT’s Runway Named “Best Flat Iron” by InStyle for Second Consecutive Year in “Best Beauty Buys” Issue.
FHI Heat, the hair industry’s leading innovator in ceramic, tourmaline and Nano-Fuzeion technologies, announces that its Runway styling iron has been named “Best Flat Iron” by InStyle for its “Best Beauty Buys” April 2009 issue. The magazine features the Runway in both its print issue and online at www.instyle.com. This represents the second straight year the Runway has received this distinction.
“We are deeply honored to have received this prestigious recognition once again,” states David Kim, CEO of FHI Heat, Inc., global manufacturer of professional hair tools. “FHI Heat continues to receive accolades from the industry’s top hairstylists working in the U.S. as well as Canada, the U.K., Europe, Australia, South Africa and Latin America, where our products are distributed. It’s very rewarding to know that the Runway styling iron has been positively experienced by so many hairstylists around the world.”
The FHI Heat Runway Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron
perfects the art of coiffing hair by employing a patented Integrated Ceramic Heating System (I.C.H.S.), which allows it to recover lost heat extremely effectively so that the iron maintains optimal temperature even when applied to damp hair. Like all FHI Heat styling tools, it also employs proprietary Nano-Fuzeion technology, which is a unique combination of Nano-Titanium, Nano-Titanium Oxide and Nano-Silver particles. Together, the triple function of the Nano-Fuzeion technology removes bacteria, toxins and static, producing superior conditioning and shine, while providing unmatched health and purification benefits for the hair.
The FHI Heat Runway Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron has a remarkably wide temperature range, going from 140º F to 450º F degrees, making it ideal for all hair types. Other features include: six hand-baked, hand-fused solid 1″-wide ceramic plates covered by a large quantity of crushed tourmaline crystals, which makes this iron more potent in producing greater amounts of far-infrared heat, which gently heats hair from the inside out to minimize heat damage. With the aid of the tourmaline crystals, these irons produce more negative ions, helping break water molecules and allowing hair to be conditioned from the inside out. Additional benefits include: curling hair with the beveled edges of the ceramic plates; ultra-rapid heating; damp to dry styling; protecting color and preventing color fading; sealing the cuticle to lock in moisture and repel humidity, which helps eliminate frizz.
Products offered by FHI Heat include blow dryers, styling irons, curling irons, razors, heat-activated conditioners, styling clips, carbon combs, shears, brushes and a chemical straightening system. The new technologically advanced FHI Heat products are available at fine hair salons and professional beauty retailers nationwide, via toll-free number at 877.FHI.HEAT (877.344.4328) and online at www.fhiheat.com.

They’re hot and they’re everywhere! Spring hasn’t even begun yet, but it seems like everyone has a giraffe print handbag.
I’ve noticed in the past week or so that giraffe print handbags are definitely the biggest trend in handbags right now. I never expected that!
I’ve seen everything from teens to middle aged women with giraffe print bags in a variety of different sizes. The most popular shape seems to be the hobo. A great giraffe print, mid-sized hobo is the perfect addition to your Spring wardrobe. This bold print goes well with office attire and weekend casual wear. It blends easily into almost any outfit.
The only thing I would avoid wearing when using a giraffe print bag is floral prints or stripes. Stick with neutrals, neon color accents, bold accessories, and sleek lines.
Handbag Heaven has quite a few giraffe print handbags to choose from for under 0!

All the beauty companies are all releasing pastel collections comprised of soft colors for the eyes.
I am in love with the new Tarte Spring Greening Reusable Straw Palette that contains six vibrant eyeshadows, three vivacious t5™-infused lipglosses, and a bamboo eyeshadow brush. Everything is tucked in a compact composed of sustainable straw to help protect and replenish the Earth’s natural resources. Neat!
The other palette that caught me eye was the Urban Decay Ammo Shadow Box Palette
. It includes ten of Urban Decay’s best-selling eyeshadows in a mirrored compact. All great colors for creating a sultry smokey eye.
I also noticed a lot of glimmering shimmer in the eyeshadow palettes
as well. Must have colors for eyeshadow are warm corals, all shades of purple, and pale pinks.
Some of our favorite shades so far are:
If you don’t like the purple, well that’s just too bad for you! Purple is one of the hottest colors for Spring, second only to
yellow. Find a
purple eyeshadow
you like, and get a matching
eyeliner pencil
and
nail polish
to match. We’ll be seeing a lot of violet purple shades of eyeliner and eyeshadow to create a soft, spring-time smoky eye.
Stand out apart from the crowd on your vacation or during Spring Break this year in gorgeous and totally unique swimwear from Adjani Couture.
About a month ago, I was contacted by Adjanys Marrero, a single mom, now a stay at home mom who used to work as the Director of Photography for Dillards
. She recently started a fabulous crocheted swimwear collection. She told us, “I was looking for swimwear that was sexy, felt comfortable and was different.” We think she did a great job of doing just that!
Adjanys Marrero started the trend of crochet fashion in the Tampa Bay Area and has made her sense of style and fashion available to women throughout the world.
I just had a baby and wanted some of my imperfections camouflaged! Some of the suits are small and fun, but I would like to think we offer a little bit of everything for any woman.
Adjani Couture is sexy swimwear suited best for women ages 21-45.
I was going to post a picture of myself in this bodacious swimsuit, but didn’t think I looked as good at this cute model.
I thought that crocheted swimwear would stretch out easily and not fit well, but I was wrong. I love the Boca Sami Curacao Hand Crochet Triangle Top and String Bikini that they sent to me to try out. I think I need to lose another 5 pounds before I look really good in that swimsuit, but I was surprised how well it fit and the overall quality of the garment. It’s available in a variety of beautiful colors like coral, yellow, teal, purple, brown, and more. I guarantee you’ll have a hard time deciding which color to choose!
Looking through the other styles in the 2009 Travel in Technicolor collection, I also really like the Safi, a retro style one-piece. Cute one-piece swimsuits are really hard to find, but Adjani Couture makes several very attractive ones.
Overall, I think their crocheted swimwear is absolutely fabulous and fun. If you are a daring girl that’s looking for something unique and bold to wear this summer or while on vacation, then I urge you to check out Adjani Couture.
I recently found another nail polish line that is free of Formaldehyde, Toluene or (DBP)Phthalate. Those three ingredients are contained in most nail polish lines and are linked to cancer and birth defects. Read more about that here.
Nubar is yet another company that has chosen to ban these 3 harmful chemicals from their nail polish and the result is nothing short of amazing. They have an amazing selection of gorgeous eye-catching colors that you won’t be able to resist.
I recently decided to review the Corals Collection, which includes 8 bottles of breath-taking colors including Red Sea Coral, a bright pink-red, cool tone inspired by the Au Favites variety. Cayman Coral, a bright red-orange warm tone inspired by the Sea Fan variety. Costa Rica Coral, a bright tangerine colored warm tone inspired by the Ricordia variety. As well as 5 other shades.

It’s all about softness and femininity for Spring 2009. If you only have time to learn one new thing, perfect your skills at making a soft, sultry Smoky Eye.
There is an amazing new palette from Physicians Formula
that has everything you need for Smoky Eyes all in one easy kit.
The new Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner
gives a hip twist on the classic smoky look. This new custom smoky collection will give your eyes drama while enhancing your natural eye color. A total of nine perfectly coordinated shades with three distinct color trios create endless possibilities of high-performance glamour.
Each trio is perfectly paired to create a natural, playful and dramatic smoky look. Versatile formula can be used wet for dramatic, intense color with long-lasting wear or used dry for a softer result. Transforms shadow into liner when wet.
Available in four shades: Smoky Blue Eyes
, Smoky Hazel Eyes
, Smoky Green Eyes
and Smoky Brown Eyes
.
Price: .95
Where: Available at fine drug and mass-market stores nationwide as well as online retailers like drugstore.com
I got the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner for Brown Eyes and was pleasantly surprised with the color selection. There are 9 colors in total, 3 that are supposed to be used as liners, but can also be used as eyeshadow. I think you can create more than 3 different looks with these fabulous shades though.
I was only slightly disappointed that there were 2 shades of silver/gray, both of which were so similar, you wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference. I think they should have replaced one with a warm gold color…
If your new to makeup or don’t wear it often, start practicing the Smoky Eye in your spare time so you can start rocking this trend before the sow melts. Check out the following articles to help you out:

If the Smoky Eye trend is just a bit too much for you, don’t worry, there are other eyeshadow techniques you can use to look fresh and young this Spring. We’ll post more about this next week. Be sure to check back to find out what this Spring’s hottest eye shadows and palettes will be.
It’s all about the details this Spring. Doesn’t matter whether your wearing stilettos or flats, it’s all about glam and glitz on the shoes. Boring shoes have never been more out of style!
Look for any shoes with interesting details like beads, coins, fringe
or something totally unique like hibiscus flowers! Other big trends to keep in mind are shoes with unique or sculptured heels. We are also going to see a lot of shoes with ties, laces, and straps as well as the good ol’ Gladiators!
Here’s a quick rundown on all the shoe trends for Spring 2009…
Details
The biggest trend in shoes for Spring 2009 is details. Anything that stands out and makes the shoes stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s ruffles, fringe, and straps, or buckles, jewels, coins and beads, you want the most unique shoe you can find. Think of Spring 2009 shoes being a work of art… Even small details like studs, spikes, chains, etc are very much in style. If it’s new and different, you’re good to go.
Platforms
No, we’re not kidding. Platform shoes are one of the biggest trends we’ll see for Spring 2009. Celebs like Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria were already photographed wearing platforms this month. Don’t be shy… We know these shoes make a bold statement, but they are actually quite comfy, if you get the right pair.
Peep Toes
A standard Spring wardrobe staple is a dependable pair of peep-toes, but this year, they are more in style then ever. We love
peep toe shoes because they’re great when you haven’t had time to get a pedicure and your tootsies are less then perfect. If it’s too cold to bare your twinkle toes, grab a nice pair of peeps. Not the peeps you eat!
Peep toe shoes!
Sling Backs
I personally can’t wear them, because I don’t have much of a heel to keep them on. However, I love the look of slingbacks. There are a lot of cute ones to choose from this year too. I noticed a lot of slingbacks on the Spring 2009 runway and at the Oscars.
Gladiators
Still? Yup, this trend isn’t going anywhere. It has finally reached the stage of mass adoption, so you just can’t hide from this trend! The must-have shoe for 2008 is now the must-have shoe for 2009. The gladiator sandal, first made popular by Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex And The City, has now become a wardrobe staple. Doesn’t matter whether their flat or mile high heels, as long as there are tons of straps, you’re good.
Snake Skin (Real or Faux)
Snake skin print is quickly becoming a popular material for shoes this Spring. Again, whether it’s a ballet flat or a spike-heeled stilleto, it’s all about the style and quality. Avoid snakeskin that’s tacky or cheap looking. Don’t got to Payless ShoeSource©
for this trend…
Ties, Laces & Straps
This is by no means and excuse to wear pointe shoes out in public, but with shoes this Spring, the more laces the better. Ties, laces and straps will keep shoes securely on your feet, so no worries of losing them! Good luck taking them off in a hurry though…
Unique Heels
With all these different artful details on every other style of footwear, you didn’t think we could possibly leave out the heels did you? Look for shoes with cool architectural heels or unique details like a colorful acrylic heel
. Wow, now that’s how to make a statement!
Stay tuned for more shoes from each category. It’s time to go shoe shopping! Wheeee!
