Best pliers - HH Simonsen Deep Waver

I love my new pliers ”HH Simonsen 360 ° ROD VS5 Deep Waver”Which makes deep wave curls in the hair! And I could not think of a better person to photograph the result than my friend Frida who has such amazing hair that you collapse with jealousy!

Frida's hair is also a good hair to test on before review, because it is so heavenly thick that with a bad pair of tongs it takes several hours to curl. I made that mistake once before and I do not do it again if you say so haha. Have also looped it a few times, fy phase what a job :)

But it went very well and here is the nice result:

Frida has recently turned copper red at Monica Werner in Uppsala, nice huh ??? :)

♥ I like the pliers so much because first and foremost there are nice curls, but also because it is super easy to use and it goes fast like attan! You do not have to last long at all, and that was the first thing Frida said when I started "oh how fast it goes".

♥ You can easily vary if you want to take larger or smaller loops, it goes faster if you take larger and the waves become softer then, but if you want smaller waves and more power, you can simply attract smaller loops. Nice to mix too, I think, make both bigger and smaller curls so you get more life in your hair!

♥ The durability of the curls is also really good. My hair wants to get straight pretty fast even if I have a good hair spray, but with this tongs it lasts even the next day even though I slept on them! The spray I have used is from Living Proof.

♥ The cord is very long and I love it !!

♥ It is possible to "lock" the pliers so that it is kept closed, perfect when you have it packed in the bag.

♥ The most important detail for me is that it should be easy to use on itself, because I am so bad with hair and hairstyles. And it really is! I have tested other pliers but none that are this simple and good :)

Characteristics:
* ROD VS5 creates big nice waves and movements.
* Teflon-covered surface that ensures a good glide and gives an effect of less frieze.
* Adjustable working temperature 150-210 ° C.
* Works in both USA and Europe, 110V and 240V respectively.
* 3 meter cord with pivot function.

I always curl with 180 degrees, because I learned at an event with ghd that it is the optimal temperature for durable curls with as little wear and tear as possible. At 180 degrees, the hair is at its most malleable, without it being so hot that the hair wears out. The hair melts over 200 degrees, so you should have the temperature even though it is possible.

The only thing that is a bit negative with the pliers is that the heat setting is just a small screw knob on the side, and it is easily accessible when you curl. So you have to double check sometimes so that you have not changed the heating setting.

It's hard to get nice tops in this thick hair, I think, they kind of want to stick out when you have them in the tongs haha. Requires some practice on that front, but I'm not a hairdresser either :)

The cheapest price I find on the pliers is on HERE, previously also included Carbon Clips, HH SIMONSEN Styling Brush and HH SIMONSEN Wet Brush! (Campaign)

Rec. price is SEK 1295 even. Maybe it's an old model that they want to sell out of (?) Because in the picture it has purple details but mine is completely black. I got my pliers from Monica, so I do not know :)

Anyway, two big thumbs up get it from me !!! ♥

You know what?! :)

Now I have received another news item by Byher.se, two different topcoats from Paese!

One top coat, Paese Matte Top Coat, make your nail polish matte! Also works on other nail polish brands that are not Paese.

The second varnish, Paese Diamond Hard Nail Base, is a super-strengthening transparent varnish that can be used both as a bottom and top coat, or completely alone on the nail. It contains diamond powder that makes the nails strong and hard, and is super good as you have fragile nails that easily fall off, slice or crack.

Here you see Paese Nail Polish in shade 128! In the left picture I have the Diamond varnish over and in the right carpet picture you can see the result after Paese Matte Top Coat.

Nice huh? :)

Paint the nails as usual and let it dry, and then apply a layer of the matting top coat!

Paese Diamond Hard Nail Base works as both undercoat and topcoat. As an undercoat, the nail is protected from discoloration from colored varnish, and as an overcoat, you also get longer durability on the colored nail polish!

And the nicest of all is to mix I think! :) My favorite in the ring finger, to run half matte and half glossy on the diagonal. Extremely nice and above all simple, a small piece of tape only so you get sharp edges without hassle.

Both varnishes cost SEK 79 each, and you will find them here!

I really love Paese's nail polish, they provide coverage immediately (most colors), dry quickly and above all they last well. Do you want me to bring in more colors this spring? :)

Stippling brush - Use

Reviews & Product Tips

A stippling brush is a make-up brush that is incredibly good when applying liquid foundation!

It has both short and long straws, and it's really only the longer straws you work with, the rest is just to give the brush shape and stability.

When I went to my airbrush training, I was advised to supplement with a brush like this on people with wrinkles, because it sort of works the product well into all the irregularities of the skin without you immediately having to "massage in" it as with other brushes.

But above all, it is a brush that is for liquid foundations with a little lighter coverage, e.g. bb creams and cc creams, for people who want a flawless but natural base.

I think it works really well on foundations with more coverage as well, the difference is that it is not directly suitable for covering large blemishes but then you have to supplement with concealer. But it is great for a complexion with large pores!

A common misconception is that you use the one I show in the picture on the right, that you sort of massage the skin with it as with regular foundation brushes. But then you can just as well use a regular foundation brush.

Here's how I use a dotted brush:

1. Do not pour a click of foundation straight on the brush, but apply a little on the hand and then dip the brush in the foundation on the hand instead. This is to get an even amount of product without it becoming too much.

You only need foundation right at the tops, as you see in the picture.

2. Apply the foundation on the face with dangling movements, start with the areas that need more coverage (eg cheeks and forehead) and work your way out.

3. Then work with the brush in circular motions all over the face, to get a perfectly smooth and flawless surface. Do not press with the brush at all, just hold it so that it just touches the skin with the long strands!

The result is incredibly even and nice!

I use the Nanshy Stippling Brush that is in Masterful Collection at Byher.se!

Makeup for copper red hair

Frida was with me yesterday and wanted some make-up tips, because she has been to incredibly talented Monica Werner at Frisörerna in Uppsala and dyed her hair copper red!

You who do not remember what Frida's hair looked like before can take a look this makeup as I did on her a while ago :) Then she was blonde!

There is nothing that says that you can not put on make-up as before just because you change hair color, but suddenly the colors have a little different effects so it can be good to try something different than usual.

So I did an everyday make-up on her with a trio palette that I think is incredibly nice for copper red hair :)

I have used the trio palette Paese Shimmer Trio Eyeshadow in the shade 111 Luxury! Light on the inside, medium dark in the middle and darkest on the outside. And then just mascara on it, simple and nice!

The eyebrows are Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade in the shade Soft Brown, I was actually going to use Auburn but could not find it, do not know where I made it .. But Soft brown is also a good shade for red hair colors, if you do not want a brow color that goes to the red the direction.

Here is the palette that I think is so heavenly looking for copper. Gold is always nice to red and this dark shade is brown in the slightly burgundy / purple direction in some way, and looks incredibly good in coppery tones!

Fint va ?? :)
