Why Every Beauty Girl Trusts Her Locks to Revlon Hair Tools

Hi lovelies,

Now that fall is officially upon us, I like to change up my look for the new season. I’ve started wearing my hair with loose, wavy curls and I make sure to keep it hydrated and moisturized now that the weather is a bit more dry and windy. 

That’s why I was so excited to use Revlon Hair Tools, all of which are available at Target. The Pro Collection Laser Brilliance Shine Styler, is an innovative and new styler that leaves my locks with a natural shine and bounce due to its Infrared Heat Technology. The diffuser attachment works best when I want to wear my hair curly and the ceramic hair dryer causes less hair damage, which is super important to me in the cooler months. 

Step 1: Take a section of your wet hair and lightly twist

Step 2: Place the twisted section of your wet hair and gently place it on the diffuser

Step 3: Turn on the diffuser and let it work its magic to create voluminous curls

Step 4: Repeat as needed until hair is dry and curled as desired.

Final soft waves and curls thanks to the diffuser:

Another way that I make sure that my hair stays healthy is by using the Revlon Rose Gold Professional Brush Line; my go-to tool is the Rose Gold Porcupine Round Brush. Its IONIC TECHNOLOGY® Infused bristles dries my hair at a faster pace which causes less frizz and keeps moisture in for smoother hair. I love being able to save time doing my hair because I then have more to prep for the rest of my day or get ready if I’m going out at night.

When I want to add a bit of low-key bling to my hairstyle, I opt to wear the easy-to-use Revlon Double Grip Clips that comes in a pack of six. The comb teeth and grip dots keeps my hair out of my face, so I wear them when I’m doing my nighttime skincare routine as they are a great way to keep my hair in place when I’m applying my skincare products.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizing Styler can do. It’s used to get sleek blowouts with just one step and its oval brush designs works best to add volumes and shine your hairstyle. It looks awesome and can also be found at Target! 

Are you getting gorgeous this fall season with Revlon Hair Tools? Do you like my finished look?

GET THE LOOK: HAIR

  • Prep hair with Phytovolume Actif Volumizing Spray and rough dry it in. Give the hair a natural and easy center part
  • Take a 1" curling iron, bump up the front part of the hair to create more texture and give a natural wave to the hair
  • Work Phyto Professional Matte Texturizing Paste through the ends 
  • Pull the hair back into a low ponytail and roughly twist down to loop the hair into a low knot. To make the hair look as natural as possible, leave out 2 inches toward the end of the twist so it sticks out on the right side.
  • Finish by misting Phytolaque Soie Hairspray to keep in place

GET THE LOOK: SKINCARE



GET THE LOOK: MAKEUP

  • Perfect the skin using bareMinerals Bare Skin Complete Coverage Serum Concealers where needed
  • To create this shade of shadow mix the bareMinerals Bare Skin Complete Coverage Serum Concealers in the darkest shades, bareMinerals Liner Shadow in Onyx, bareMinerals Pop of PassionLip Oil-Balm in Rose Passion and bareMinerals Pop of Passion Blush Balm in Natural Passion
  • Use a flat brush to blend the mixture and apply onto the lids. Lightly apply under the lower lash line, staying close to the lashes
  • Add a little more of the bareMinerals Liner Shadow in Onyx into the mixture and use a flat eyeshadow brush to blend softly onto the base of the top lash line, blending from inner to outer corner and lightly into the outer “v” just before the crease. Also add lightly under the lower lash line
  • Press a little more of the bareMinerals Pop of PassionLip Oil-Balm in Rose Passion and bareMinerals Pop of Passion Blush Balm in Natural Passion onto the lid and lightly under lower lash line.
  • Finish with a dab of Jurlique Rose Love Balm onto the lids, in the inner corners of the eyes and on the tops of the cheek bones.
