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) 

Here are some pictures from the TYME website of looks that were created using the TYME!!

Kendall & Kylie Topshop Collection = disappointment?

Hey Blog Readers! 

Sooo I was super excited when I heard that Kendall & Kylie Jenner were releasing a collection this summer with Topshop.. I was sure I would be in love with everything! After all I'm a big Kardashian/Jenner fan - I love both girls style and I love topshop so what would be not to like?? but I have to admit on first glance my reaction is purely "mehh!" I can't see myself running to TopShop at the Grove (the only TopShop I know of in LA) to pick up these pieces and that's with disappointment that I say that and not with any hate! They are both so incredibly successful, beautiful and stylish but for me I don't feel like this collection reflects that and what you'd expect from their pairing with such a cool clothing store such as TopShop...
In a statement released the pair were quoted as saying...
 "When working on the inspiration, we very much wanted to capture the essence of our own lifestyles and create pieces that would fit perfectly into our wardrobes," "We hope you have as much fun wearing the collection as we did designing it!" 
Personally I don't feel that this collection does reflect what we see the girls wearing in their amazing Instagram pics or on their show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'. In my opinion Kylie is a lot cooler and hipper than these pieces reflect while Kendall is more chic... 
Judge for yourselves... 

Now don't get me wrong.. I don't think that any of the pieces are ugly - they are all nice in general but for me they are not exciting or what I would have expected from the girls, especially the girls working with a cool, hip, young shop such as Topshop. In my opinion they are all pretty plain and too expensive for the every day person to be buying when there's nothing distinctive or different about them... To me they look like pieces that could have been brought in Primark (you all know I love Primark but you get what I'm trying to say). 
Anyway, there are two pieces that I would want to wear or at least try on from the collection and they are...

 

This white duster coat ($150)

And I'd also be interested in seeing what this floral jumpsuit looks like on.. (could be a hit or miss at $105) 

Look how cool and edgy kylie's style is in her personal life... 

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that the Kendall/Kylie Topshop collection (apart from maybe the Duster coat) reflects Kylie's known gothic/edgy/cool style at all! In that case maybe it could be said that it looks like more of a reflection of Kendall's chic "model off duty" style... but even then it's not as fashion forward as we's expect from one of the world's top models of the moment.. Let's look at some of Kendall's personal style for comparison... 

Anyhow... not that it matters as I'm sure the die hard Kendall/Kylie fan's will still make all of the items in their collection fly off the shelves! But personally I would have expected more from these two young style icons. I don't feel that the collection we've seen so far captures and reflects their style as well as say the Michelle Keegan line with Lipsy reflects hers!

Let me know your thoughts... what do you think of the Kendall/Kylie collection with Topshop? What's your favourite/least favourite piece? and will you be making a purchase? :)
