Babyliss Mighty Minis Go Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness

Minis are mighty, especially when it comes to hair styling tools. And, when they're pink, they're even better as they support breast cancer initiatives. Babyliss Pro donates a portion of proceeds from the sale of their Breast Cancer Awareness "pink" products to the National Breast Cancer Foundation--just one more reason to buy these for you, and for holiday gifts.

The Babylisss Pink PRO Porcelain Ceramic Compact Hair Dryer(under $30.00) for example, has all of the "bells and whistles" of a full-sized dryer, yet it weighs just 0.97 lbs and has power of 1000 watts. A non-slip handle, concentrator nozzle and cool shot help to keep your style, while commercial grade porcelain ceramic generates far-infrared heat and negative ions, to reduce static and frizz. There are two heat settings (high and low) and a limited, 3-year warranty. Finally, the baby pink color makes styling just a bit more fun.

The Babybliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron (srp. under $50.00) is small enough to fit in your purse at just 6" in length and weighs less than my card case, but this mightily mini heats up to 430 degrees F. fast! Nano Titanium plates conduct heat to help style your hair fast and shorten the amount of time the heat has to touch your hair. Digital ionic technology emits negative ions to help keep your style straight and frizz-free. The iron has dual voltage so you can use it anywhere, and an on off switch easily identifiable on the side. If you have short hair or want to keep your bangs straight, a mini flat iron like this one is a must-have, as you can get close to your scalp in a way you can't do safely with a larger flat iron. It's a "must-have" for styling small pieces, for travel, for your desk at work and more!

Oloff Beauty's Breast Cancer Awareness Month Offering--Olio Benessere Body Wellness Oil

When I was backstage at Joanna Mastroianni's Spring 2009 runway show at the Bryant Park tents, my contact for Oloff Beauty (the hair sponsor for the show) gave me a packet of information about other Oloff Beauty products and brands. The company's Aeto Botanica Wellness products help encourage a healthy mind, body and spirit. The products also assist women with reducing hair loss that directly results from medical treatments -- such as cancer patients throughout chemotherapy.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Aeto Botanica is introducing Aeto Botanica Spa Olio Benessere Wellness Oil for the Body 5.07 fl. oz. launching in October that is not only a good product, the company will donate 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the oil to the Libby Ross Foundation, during the month of October.

Botanica Spa Olio Benessere Wellness Oil for the Body is a botanical body oil in a clear plastic bottle. The oil is free of harsh chemicals that might irritate sensitive skin.The 100% virgin oil is healing, anti-bacterial, and a natural antibiotic with anti-oxidant properties. The oil has only high quality ingredients, such as pure coconut and Tamanu essential oils, that will lightly moisturize your skin for up to 8 hours. Tamanu oil is native to Polynesia, and is obtained from cold-pressed, dried Tamanu nut kernels. The soft, exotic scent of Monoi de Tiare gives you the feeling that you're in Hawaii, or maybe a tropical paradise. Monoi de Tiare is a rare form of Gardenia flower, found in the South Pacific. It also has softening and soothing properties, as well as a lovely, exotic, floral scent. Olio Benessere stimulates blood circulation when it is massaged into the skin...helping to eliminate toxins and fortify the skin with oxygen and nutrients. The oil liquefies at temperatures about 75 degrees, and makes a lovely massage oil. Coconut oil is super hydrating and skin softening. For this product, macerated fresh buttons of tiare are immersed in the oil and left there for months, so the oil can absorb the tiare flower fragrance.
