Rock Your Hair

Hey loves!

Today I'm sharing with you guys a new haircare and styling line I've been using lately. The brand is Rock Your Hair by Michael O'Rourke http://www.rockyourhair.com/

I immediately loved how the products were centered around BIG hair! I loveeee big voluminous hair and if something promises me big hair I'm certainly all for it!

The Big Hair Rocks Shampoo and Conditioner smell amazing!!!! Of course that's the very first thing I check for. They are also paraben and sulfate free and do not dry your hair or fade color! It does add some volume to your hair, but if you have super long hair like I do it won't be anything sky high since the weight of your hair will pull down the volume. Overall it gives a great clean hair feeling and the conditioner is super moisturizing.

These next guys help a lot with the volume factor. The size matters Big Volume Root Lift and Get a Lift Volumizing Spray work in a similar manner. Both are sprays that add shine and are anti-frizz plus they give you a big volume boost. I spray it in and then work it into my roots with my fingers. The Rock Your Hair Bombshell Big Hair Powder is probably my favorite product in the line. It applies like a powder but dries clear and adds mega volume, almost like a gel pushing the hair up from the root. It also adds texture and shine.

The last two products I have to show you guys are styling essentials for me. The Spray it Hard Big Volume Hairspray is an excellent long holding hair spray that doesn't leave your hair stiff or sticky at all, which is a huge plus! Great hold and your guy can still run his fingers through your hair.

The Rock your Hair Leave-In Conditioner and Weightless Detangler is absolutely amazing. I can not pass a comb through my hair without using a detangler first and I have to admit this one has replaced my old detangler - which I had been using for years. It's super light weight and NO greasy feeling or greasy look on your hair which is one thing I check for immediately.

If you guys have tried out any products from this line let me know what you thought of it! Also check out my recent Voluminous Holiday Curls Video using my Nume Titan 3 set and these products. Thanks for stopping by today, love you <3

A Walk On The Wild Side

Hey Beauties!!!

Happy October!!!! Me mom and I have a tradition where every month, on the 1st day of the new month, the first thing we say when we wake up is "rabbit rabbit". We've been doing it for as long as I remember and I have no idea where she originally learned it from. She taught me that it would bring you good luck throughout your whole month so I still do it to this day. I've been teaching Noel to say it also. So, to all of you beautiful people: "rabbit, rabbit!" I wish you all an amazing month and maybe you can start the tradition in your own homes!

Here is a quick little outfit of the day from last weekend. It was a relaxed day. Noel, JR and I went to iHop for breakfast. Then Noel and I spent the rest of the day in Target and at the mall.

Here is what I wore: bodysuit - Forever 21, sweater - Charlotte Russe, Jeans - PacSun, Boots - JustFab, Hair - my Everyday Glam Curls using my NuMe Titan 3 wand set (tutorial video coming Friday!)

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! I'm also GIVING AWAY a pair of the same JustFab boots shown in these pics!!!! The Giveaway Video will be live tomorrow!!! Check my YouTube channel or this blog page tomorrow for more details and the video with all the rules to enter. There will also be 10 MORE prize sets that you can win!!!

Finally, I'm leaving you with my latest fashion video. It's a different style than any you've seen from me before but I hope you enjoy it. My style is very versatile and I like to show you guys all aspects of me.

Love you!!!

Sexy Curls for a NYC Fashion Show

Happy Monday Beautiful!!!!

I hope everyone started off an amazing new weeks today!!! Today was actually my son's FIRST day of Pre-K!!!!!! I wanted to have this blog and today's video up earlier but I spent a good hour of my "work time" crying after I dropped him off at school... Mommy problems, sigh. Happily, he had a great day and was actually upset when I went to pick him up and bring him back home!! If only he can still feel that way when he reaches High School I'll be one happy mom.

Today I uploaded a new video on a hair tutorial. Yes, a HAIR tutorial!!! I know I do them so rarely but I recently received some new hair tools and they have opened up my eyes to a whole new world of possible styles. I used the 19mm curling wand from the NuMe Titan 3 set. I'll have an in depth blog review on the set later on this week. For now you can check out my tutorial video to hear a mini review on the product as well as a complete step by step of how I achieved the look below. Also, feel free to use the coupon code rocio3 (all lowercase) on any curling wand or flat iron if you want to try out these products and save a bunch of money. <3

The special occasion that called for this new fab hair style was a fashion show that I attended last week as part of NYC Fashion Week. I snagged some VIP tickets to the Uptown Fashion Show in United Palace. Unfortunately, I have to say, the goodie bags SUCKED. There was an umbrella, a bunch of pens, and a couple of shampoo samples - the type you get for free with every online Sephora order. I was disappointed to say the least. After being spoiled by Generation Beauty and Beauty Con's goodie bags I was expecting something a bit more amazing.

The show was cool. There were some collections that just didn't do it for me but for the most part I adored a lot of what came down that runway. Also, I had the added surprise of seeing a familiar face on the runway. One of the girls who I actually watch and love on YouTube, Nathalie, was modeling in the show! I had a bit of a fan girl moment when I saw her, and I have to say she looked beautiful and Worked It! You can see her below in the white gown, as well as a pic of me and my bestie who accompanied me to the show. Be sure to check out Nathalie's channel and sub, I know you guys will love her too! http://www.youtube.com/user/nathaliebellax3

Please bear with me on the pictures, the girls were flying down the runway and my iPhone was just not snapping quickly enough. I do have a vlog video where you can get a better look at all of the complete collections that were shown that night.

 Overall the collections showcased a lot of classic timeless looks that had an extra sexy factor. I loved! It was a great way to take timeless silhouettes and add a bit more sex appeal. There were also a lot of interesting shapes. Puffs, draping, feathers, peek-a-boo panels, and attention grabbing fabrics were all seen at this show. My only question: Where can I buy these pieces?!
