Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, beer, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

Corioliss Curling Iron Review

Misikko contacted me about a month and a half ago to review one of their curling irons.




They sent me the Corioliss Clipless Wand Ceramic Curling Iron .7"(18mm).  To be honest, I'm a hot roller girl. The only time I use a curling iron is when LC isn't home to bother me while I'm getting ready, or the fact that I have a LOT of time to get ready. I'm not a hair aficionado, and I'm not the best with a curling iron. I did like this one that Misikko sent me. Considering you don't have a clip to keep your hair in place, it took a lot of getting used to. Then again, I don't use a curling iron a lot. After awhile, I think I've somewhat mastered the technique of using this clipless wand. One thing I found funny if I remember correctly is that the directions said to NOT use this in a bathroom. Well, I did, and I'm alive to write this post;) Another thing, they send you a protective glove so you can hold your hair on the wand; however, you can still feel the heat through the glove. So, be careful!!!! With that being said, I haven't burned myself yet. I would definitely recommend this product.

PROS
-doesn't leave that crease or bent mark that always happens when I use a curling iron with a clip
-much easier to do the Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen half-curl/wave look they do
-gets really hot
-didn't spray my hair and the curls lasted (maybe because it gets super hot)
-hair didn't feel dry afterwards (maybe because it's not clamped down?)

CONS
-took me awhile to get used to it (if you are a pro at using a curling iron, this prob won't affect you)
-aren't supposed to use in a bathroom (tehe!)

Will it be leaving my hair tool supply? Nope. I like it:)

I actually looked at this on their site last week, I'm very intrigued. I am in the market for an all new blow-dryer and hair tools... sigh, so many expensive things to buy!
