Product Review: T3Micro Twirl 360 Motion Sensing Styling Iron

I really, really wanted to like this product. It's a heavy-duty styling iron for curling your hair. It's made from a quality hair-tool company and it feels solid — not flimsy like some of the drugstore curling irons.

They offer up a great YouTube tutorial, so I felt like a good handle on what I was doing. The 1.75" barrel should have been perfect for my thick hair. Unfortunately, it was not.


The button that helps to grab the hair and and twirl it up to create those perfect waves, often had difficulty releasing the curl. As a result, the product would smoke and you could smell my burning hair.

While I am not a hair expert, I certainly know my way around a curling iron. I attempted this three times with the same results. Since I never finished a full head of hair because it was scorching my locks, I don't even have a good photo to share with you. So, this is product that gets a thumbs down from me.

Perhaps you will have better luck with than I did. If you would like to check it out, it's available at Sephora for $230 or by using this link: http://bit.ly/T3Twirl360.

To take a closer look at the product, here are a few features and benefits listed by the company:

Own Lifting Eye Cream

From time to time I'm given products to test drive. This month, it is Own Lifting Eye Cream which happened to be great timing since I was looking for something to help battle the dryness of winter around the sensitive eye area.  I have been really picky with ingredients when it comes to skin and hair products because the FDA approves too many sketchy ingredients.  I think we all need to become more aware of what we are putting in and on our bodies.  So, the good news is that Own products eliminate some of the ingredients I am concerned about.

Description of the Product:

Own Anti-Aging Lifting Eye Cream is formulated to lift and smooth wrinkles while brightening skin with clinically proven CLA technology. CLA technology lifts and firms, restores and hydrates so your eyes can look as good as you feel.

Own Anti-Aging Lifting Eye Cream has been clinically proven to:
● Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet by 61%
● Decrease in the total number of wrinkles around the eye area by 30%

Product Details
● Retinol-free formula
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
● Dermatologist-tested
● Fragrance-free
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free

Does it Work?:
From my experience, nothing gets rid of lines completely unless you are going under the knife or hit the Botox, but this product does reduce fine lines, especially if your skin is dry.  Since I have been traveling between Chicago and LA all winter, my skin has been suffering from the winter climates.  This product has helped moisturize the delicate eye area.  The fine lines become less noticeable and the skin is plumped up by hydration.  There is no scent for people who are sensitive to fragrance and the elimination of possible cancer-causing Parabens makes it a product definitely worth checking out.

Cost:
The price is $23.99 for .5 fl. oz, but as you know a little dab will do you on eye cream so this should last you a long time.

Discount for YOU!:
Click HERE to order the product and make sure to enter CLAIFABBO1 at checkout for 30% off your first purchase of Own products.  That brings the eye cream down to about $16.80...not bad at all! The code expires on 4/01/13.
