InStyler Hair Products Are Worth Every Penny!

I am thrilled to share with you some amazing products I was able to try (with a few friends) that I got through Vocalpoint, products from InStyler. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun my friends and I had trying them out, and I am not sure which one of us was more excited.

Not being a very savy hair person I was happy that my friends are. All three of them do a lot more with their hair than I do, but I have found a product that I can not only understand but actually use and easily.

The products we tried out are the InStyler MAX 2-Way Rotating Iron, InStyler Ionic Styler Pro, and InStyler Tulip Auto Curler. 

My friend Kendyll wanted to try out all three. She had a lot of fun experimenting but settled on the Tulip. here are her before and after photos.

Kendyll's hair is very thick, so it took a whil to curl all of her hair. By the time she was done her hair looked amazing. Not only was it curled beautifully it was also much smoother and no fly-aways. She said at first it was hard to get just the right amount of hair to use in the ulip, but after a while it got easier. And she loves it, so did everyone else.

On my hair we used the MAX 2-Way Rotating Iron. I've mentioned before how I have 3 feet of hair. It's wavy and I tend to have lots of fly-aways. Here are my before and after photos.

The one thing we really noticed about my hair after using the Rotating Iron was that it was so much more shiny and glossy. There were still a few fly-aways, but nothing compared to before. My friends mentioned how smooth it looked compared to before. I've never had my hair so straight like this and I love it. It took no time to do and I can even handle it by myself, which I can not say about other products I have tried. It's not easy working with this much hair!

Sharon tried the Ionic Styler Pro and pretty much fell in love with the thing! Here are her before and after photos.

  

She was thrilled with how easy it was to use on her short hair and how much more volume she had. She had been trying to style her hair for a long time with just a regular curling iron and it never gave her the lift and volume she wanted. We were shocked at how much the Ionic Styler Pro lifted her hair up in just one pass. It was amazing! 

I can honestly say that all of us were thrilled with the InStyler products. They are so easy to use and come with very clear directions on how to use and ways to style. What I love is that they even have tips for which ones are best for what types of hair. For someone who does not style her hair a lot, that's really good. I can't begin to tell you the times I have debated about products and did not have a clue what would be good for my hair and what would not.

Beewi Bluetooth Interactive Helicopter

I'm really not sure who this is more for, the tween, or teen, or your grown up boy. I think they would all enjoy this for Christmas!

Baby Stella

Baby Stella is delightfully detailed, from her lifelike toes, belly button and plump tummy, to her soft fleece hair and embroidered features. She is super soft and so much fun to play with. They offer lots of accessories to go with her too.

Plug 'N Sing Karaoke System

This would be a super fun gift for the whole family. It connects with your DVD player. No need for a separate system. 

Crayon Rocks

I love these. Each "rock" is super easy to hold and color with plus they are made from soy wax and natural mineral pigments, which make coloring an adventure. The colors combine easily making the color combinations a creative experience for your kids. They are exceptionally good for little ones who have trouble holding traditional crayons.

Cuisinart Deluxe Stainless-Steel Grill Set

The perfect gift for the barbecue guru in your house. This set is made to last and look good for years and comes in a wonderful case for storage.

Calvin the Closet Monster

When I first saw this fun little guy I wasn't sure who I would like him more for, the baby or me! He's adorable with embroidered features and comes with 4 pairs of super cute socks for baby.

Mustache Bandages

Seriously, how much fun are these! What a great stocking stuffer for the whole family.

DELUXE Custom Super Hero Cape Set With Mask

One of the best gifts my Mother-In-Law gave our boys when they were little was a super hero cape. They wore them constantly and insisted on keeping them when they grew too large for them. These are custom made for your little boy or girl and come with a nifty mask to hide their identity!

Executive Portable USB Turntable

This is something my guy would love. He misses being able to play his vinyl records. This compact and portable turntable plays your favorite records and converts them to digital files you can upload to your computer or other USB compatible device.

LuxPro Illuminated Dog Collar

We can't forget our four-legged family members at Christmas. We have a black newfoundland and letting him out at night and keeping an eye on him can be tough since he blends into the darkness. An illuminated collar makes a big difference. They have matching leashes too!

Kookamunga Beds ~ Fish

This is something almost every cat I have ever know would enjoy having. Plus how neat it looks and at a good price.

MistleToes ~ Piggy Paint

Non-toxic and hypo-allergenic nail polish for your little divas. They'll love painting their fingernails and toenails (and maybe yours too) and you don't have to worry about them using them.

InStyler Tulip Auto Curler

This was one gift I just loved receiving. It is the most amazing tool to have for curling hair and when you have 3 feet of it, you recommend what works for that much hair! In fact I love all the InStyler products!!

Telestrations

I honestly believe this was one of the best games our family has ever played. it has become one of our favorites and the most request game to play when friends come over for a night. We love it, but I recommend having tissues around for the tears from laughter while you play!

Froggy Frenzy

Believe me, when your little ones play with this fun frog lots of giggles will ensue! As they feed the bug into the frogs mouth he makes froggy sounds. It comes with 3 soft bugs to feed the frog and his tummy opens up to remove them after he's "eaten".

Xoundstar® Smart Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Portable

Wirelessly connect to your phone, laptop, PC, or other Bluetooth-enabled device to enjoy rich, clear audio while listening to music, movies, or games. Answer and receive phone calls hands-free. Plus -- talk to SIRI without having to pick up your phone. We love our little speaker with exceptional sound!

Bru Joy Kitchen Gadgets

As a serious cook and someone who appreciates quality I love the small kitchen gadgets by Bru Joy. They are sturdy, do the job well and last. They offer the three items pictured above as well as others to help make your life in the kitchen easier. These would make great stocking stuffers for the cooks in your family.

Lego Minifigures

The perfect stocking stuffer for your kids. I don't know a kid out there who does not like Legos and what better to go with all their sets than some fun and unique characters like Piggy Guy (plus lots of others)! SOme minifigures are also available in Lego Stores, so be watching for them.

Innovation Factory IceDozer Plus 2.0 Ice Scraper

This is one of the best ice scrapers you will ever find. It has a two handed grip and it cuts through seriously thick ice in just one pass. A great stocking stuffer for your guys.

Popcorn Factory Snowflake Tin & Towers

If you have never had popcorn (and other amazing goodies) from the Popcorn Factory, you have been missing out. It is by far some of the best flavored popcorn you will get anywhere. I can guarantee that whoever you give one of these Snowflake tin & Towers sets to will love them! 

Zubels 100% Cotton Hand Knit Toys

I absolutely  love all the products from Zubels, but their toys just grab my attention! I honestly can not give you just one that I love more than the others. They are all so sweet and safe for your babies and little ones. Golly, I know a few older kids who would love them too! They are all eco-friendly too. Love that!

Pattern LA Elsa Jacquard Bag - Ethnique

I had to add another Pattern bag. I just love all of them and they can each carry so much and they hold up to use and abuse! The soft and super lightweight unstructured Elsa bag is made of the finest French woven cotton jacquard. Complemented with rich leather straps, two inside pockets and an invisible magnetic snap closure, this is the perfect bag to tote around the city or countryside!

Country Kitchen Wall Phone II

I love this! It reminds me of my Grandma's house. This country wall phone is an authentic reproduction of early American heritage. While this beautiful recreation is designed to provide high-quality communications, it has all the charm of the faithful original. Introduced in the early 1920's, this classic features a crank handle that actually turns, yet features touch-tone buttons with a rotary dial. It would be a great and unique addition to any country home or man cave.

Easy@Home TENS Handheld Electronic Pulse Massager Unit

This is an amazing unit. It helps relieve pain by stimulating nerves, muscles and cells with little electronic impulses. it has done wonders for my arthritic knee and bad back. This is something that could be used by anyone hurting and wanting to avoid using medications.

Ozeri 3x Tower Fan (44") with Passive Noise Reduction Technology

This has to be one of the best fans out there. It has 9 amazing settings, works with one, two or all three fans going. Has a wonderful breeze setting that makes it feel like you are sitting outside in a summer breeze. it takes up little room and is super quiet! It would make a wonderful gift for so many people!
