Giveaway and review - Stuck on You Canada

I love everything personalised, I don't know why everything is better that way ! So when I was contacted by the lovely peoples at Stuck on You Canada I was excited. They specialised in personalised products for kids of all kind like name and clothing labels, clothes, book and lunch bags, just to name a few !

They sent me those adorable personalised placemats that are made in silicone so they are super easy to clean, and they are not slippery on the table (if you have kids, you know how amazing this is !!!). And all of the products are customable to your kids preferences. I also got their labels sample pack, that is basically a sample of all the tags they have available (like iron on clothing labels, name labels and book bag tag), so I can use on all of Lucas school supply next fall ! All I got is amazing !

Now the exciting part !!! They are offering one lucky reader a 50 canadian dollar credit that you can use on anything in the store. The giveaway is open worldwide. Just enter using the widget below.

Necklace: c/o My Name Necklace Canada - Shoes: Aldo (old)

Yes, I'm canadian so I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving today. But isn't it a little silly to be thankful only once a year. I try to remember everyday what's in my life that I am thankful for. Today I'm thankful for my hubby who volonteered to be my photographer for this post (for the first time). So what d'yall think, is he hired ? (for the record I am thankful about a million other things, I love my life !)

And did you see my new monogrammed necklace. I wanted one for a while now, and when My Name Necklace Canada contacted me about doing a review, I was so excited. I'm very happy with the necklace. It's just how I hoped it would be, and it has barely left my neck since I got it a week ago ! I'm thinking of getting one for my mom for Christmas. And if you want one too, they kindly offered a 10% discount to my readers, just enter the code PRETTYNEST at checkout (the code is valid until the end of the year).

Happy thanksgiving to all my american friends !

Even if I'm on the petite side I still have curves, so it makes it hard to get a perfect fit. And I never got as much compliments at work that the day I wore this little number.

Product Review - Hana Hair Professionnal Hair Dryer

When it comes to hair styling, I am a heat tool repeat offender. I use my hair dryer almost everyday and most times I end up using either my flat iron or curling wand (I do know it's not very good for my hair).

(via Misikko.com)

So when the lovely peoples at Misikko contacted me about doing a review of their top selling hair dryer, the Hana Hair Professionnal Hair Dryer,  I was beyond excited. And I was also very happy to be able to answer a question I have been asking myself for a long time: Should I pay more to get a professionnal hair dryer ?

I've been using this hair dryer for about a month and a half now and let me tell you, I'm trilled. The hair dryer itself is a little heavy, but it's very powerful so I guess it was to be expected. The better part for me is that it cut my drying time in half. And that extra 10 minutes or so I get in the morning, is fabulous. I also love that the cold hair feature, truly deliver cold hair, where my old drugstore brand one provided warm at best. I did notice that I've got a little less static and frizz than before (but the cold hair feature might be to blame, since it gets all the humidity left in the hair out of there).

Overall, I would recommand this product. I can't imagine getting back to my old drugstore hair dryer. But it is worth the pricetag (wich is currently around 200$ since it's on sale right now), it is for you to decide. For me, the extra time in the morning made all the difference.

If you're ordering, I would really suggest you also get the Hana Hair Shine Shield Therapy protective serum. They included a bottle in the package, and let me tell you, it made my hair silky smooth and shiny, without making it greasy or weight my hair down. But a little goes a long way, so don't use too much.

Product review - Sally Hansen Salon Effect

Sorry for the lack of outfit post this week, I have the worse case of flu ever. Let me tell you, what I wore this week is not outfit post material. But I'll get back on track next week. In the meantime, I decided to do a little review of a product I tried this week.

(via Sally Hansen website)

Here's the deal. I love nail polish but I rarely have the time to put it on. And unless I got my nails professionnaly done, my manucure rarely last more than a few days (and yes, I put on a base and top coat, I'm just a very manual person and they often get scratched). So this new product by Sally Hansen was very appealing to me.

What is it ? It's a stip of real nail polish that you just put on top of your nails. It promises to last up to 10 days and can be removed with nail polish remover.

What I got ? Even if it comes in cute patterns, I went with the hue "It girl" that is a bright hot pink. I had a special occasion and wanted my toe nails to match and I went with a regular nail polish for them.

My review. Application is totally mess free. It's a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it after a few nails, it's really easy and fast too ! Just be careful not to stretch the polish strip when getting the wrappping off (wich I guess is even more important with the patterned ones), it makes it harder to apply.  I've had it on for 3 days now (and I took the picture today) and there's still no chipping in sight (wich for me is really good) so I'm guessing it's pretty durable too. I messed one up during application (the first one) so I had to take it off with nail polish remover and it was as easy as with regular polish. The finish product is pretty close to a professional one, it's glossy and really look like regular nail polish.

The only con for me is the price (I paid around 9$ at Walmart). With one box you can only do one sets of nails. Shure it's less expensive than professionnaly done nails, but it's more expensive than regular nail polish. Depending on how long it lasts, the price might be worth it for me (I'll let you know).

I will definitely buy that product again and next time, I will try the cute patterned ones. If you decide to try them on for yourself, let me know what you think !
