TYME iron - video demonstration

Hey Blog Readers

So I finally made another YouTube video! it was meant to be my new years resolution to make them more regularly but then I moved house again and got really busy so it's been difficult to keep up with! Anyway, things have calmed down in my life and I'm settled once again so hopefully this is the start of more videos to come!



So as you can see above my newest video is a demonstration of the TYME iron!







What is the Tyme iron?
The TYME iron is basically a hair straighter and curler in one! I realise that some of you may argue that you can curl with a flat iron anyway.. but this iron has extra features that definitely make it a lot easier! and the curls are more like what you would expect from a curler rather than simply a straightener that can curl.

The creator of the TYME is Jacynda Smith who is a professional hairdresser - her idea came from styling hair at work and after a lot of research and handwork she was able to bring her idea to life and bring the product to the market! While the TYME was built for professional use the team behind the TYME expect it to be in households all across the world in no time!

Why the TYME? 

  1. One tool for all your styling needs - curling, straightening and even finger waves!
  2. Save time getting ready and space when travelling! 
  3. High quality design and construction including titanium plates for efficient heat transfer and a smooth glide along the hair strands.  
The gold plated titanium plates that glide easily down the hair and produce a higher negative ionic charge than ceramic plates as well as more efficient heat transfer to the hair. Negative ions neutralize positive ionic charge on the hair strands, all hair carries a positive electrical charge caused by dryness. This positive charge increases over time causing more hair cuticles to open creating ‘ragged’ unhealthy looking and feeling hair, smoothing down the cuticles with negative ions will seal in your hair’s own natural oils and moisture allowing the cuticles to lay flat and frizz free. An increase in natural oil creates more vibrant looking hair that is healthier, more manageable and full of shine! 

According to the creators these are the reasons why the TYME Iron differs from a flat iron? 
1. This iron requires little to no movement of the wrist which causes less strain on the wrist.2. Small adjustments can make big variations in curl!3. You can get curls closer to the scalp because the turn is already in the tool.4. You can curl more hair per pass saving lots of TYME!5. Finally you are able to draw in the exact curl you want. (The shape allows the curls to form by using heating and cooling, instead of tension, allowing the “drawing” capability)6. The TYME Iron curls by heating and cooling the hair, flat iron curls are created through heat and tension.7. The TYME Iron gives you the ability to easily create many different variations of looks, anything from ringlet curls to big wavy curls as well as silky straight hair!8. Many users, especially anyone who struggles curling with a flat iron, will find this technique is much easier to learn due to the design of the tool itself. Furthermore many will find they can create the styles faster than with a flat iron/curling iron/or a wand due to the ease of technique.

Temperature setting 
The temperature on the TYME is set at 400*F. The creators of the tyme discovered that this is the optimum temperature for achieving beautiful curls across all different hair types! Instead the speed of glide is what needs to be discovered for the individual's hair type - thinner hair will have a faster glide as it will curl easier than thick hair and so on.. 


For ease of mind when purchasing the TYME comes with a 30day money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied along with a full 1 year warranty!! 



A heat sleeve is included with the TYME for ease of storage and travelling!

In my video using the TYME iron I half straighten and half curl my hair! It's worth noting that this tool is new to me so I am still getting the hang of it! My hair is poker straight naturally so curling it can be difficult - I fly through this video as it is simply a demonstration but if I was using the TYME to get ready and go somewhere obviously I would take my time and make sure I got every single piece perfectly!x! (the video has been speeded-up to double time)

Lipstick review - Gerard Cosmetics

Hey Blog Readers!

So if you follow me @ShahiraBarry on Instagram/facebook/twitter or you read my blog regularly then you already know that a couple of months ago I teamed up with one of my favorite brands www.whiteninglightning.com to promote their teeth whitening products because I am SUCH a big fan! Lately I have been so busy that I haven't even had the 20 minutes to use the dial a smile kit (which I'm obsessed with) so instead whenever I have an audition, I'm on set or just heading out for a special occasion I quickly use the whitening pen and I really see the difference in the "whiteness" of my teeth especially in my pictures! It's smile-tastic! Anyway what you may not realize is that the code 'Barry' not only gets you 25% off the whitening products but also off the entire whitening lightning website and off their sister website for beauty products www.gerardcosmetics.com! And baring that in mind I always like to try out the new products that they have on their site because they sell many beauty products such as make-up etc...

As you may already know-I love the colour your smile lipglosses and also the brow-bar to go! watch my video on them below...


SO I was delighted to get my hands on the 5 new colours released by Gerard Cosmetics. One of my favourite YouTubers is Carli Bybel and she had raved about 'Fire Engine' by the line being her new favourite red lipstick and this intrigued me because I have attempted many red lipsticks (from low end to high end) and until now I just couldn't find one that I really liked on me! I've done the Ruby-Woo by mac numerous times after everyone told me it was great and nope every time I just didn't like it-I find it very drying and with red-lipstick in particular that gives a cracked flaky look which is not attractive! lol.

Currently there are 5 shades in the new Gerard cosmetics lipstick collection and I hope that they add more!

Lets talk about the packaging... can you say luxurious! It is gold, sleek and smooth with a reflective look and a simple gerard cosmetics logo (btw gerard cosmetics is the sister company to whitening lighting).

Each lipstick retails for $19 (which remember is significantly less in euro so they are cheaper than mac)and with the code BARRY you'll get 15% off that retail price which is SHA-MAZING!
Is it worth the purchase? ABSOLUTELY! these are my new fav lipsticks and I'm really hoping they release more colours! each one is extremely well pigmented and glides on effortlessly! they are matt but they don't dry out your lips at all = WINNING :)


Fire Engine




All Dolled Up





Tequila Sunrise







1995




Nude




I finally found a red that I love - I really put it to the test and wore it all day when I visited the Pumpkin patch in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood - I didn't top up once, I was running around and eating and when I got home it was still perfect (no smudges here)!

 






1995 is probably my favourite! while I used to look to Kim.K for makeup inspo I find myself looking towards the youngest kardashian/jenner lately - Kylie! and this shade immediately made me think of her beautiful instagram snaps! I also think it's perfectly named as it perfectly represents the 90's and HEY THE 90'S ARE BACK! I've worn this shade loads since I got it!

 







The Nude shade is an ideal nude for someone who doesn't like a totally blanked out lip (I don't like that) because while it is nude it also has a hint of brown so it keeps your lips alive - it's great as an every day make-up must have!




'All Dolled Up' and 'Tequila Sunrise' are the bright colours from the collection! Coral has been in for awhile now and doesn't seem to be going anywhere with stars such as Cheryl F.V (can't pronounce let alone spell her new name but former Cole/Tweedy lol) rocking it regularly!  So that's where Tequila Sunrise comes in! I do think it's more of a spring/summer colour but paired with a brown smokey eye or a khaki green outfit it can also make the perfect autumn/fall look :) All dolled up is an uber-glam pinky-purple and with a lipstick like that it does all the talking and you can keep the eyes neutral!


Hope you enjoyed this post and hope you found a new lipstick love just like I did :)
