Curious Grace Titanium Hair Straightener
from $119.99 at Hairhouse
If you embody all things pink and endeavour to live the true Barbie lifestyle. Everything must be pink. And your trusty hair tools are seriously no exception. Lucky for all of us Barbie Girls Curious Grace Titanium Hair Straightener comes in a beautiful soft bubblegum pink. But don’t fret, its colour is not the only reason we love it. Any hot tool that’s made with haircare in mind has a big tick in our books. And the Curious Grace straightener has not one but three hair-loving designs.
Firstly the Metal Ceramic Heater Technology (MCH) uses energy-efficient technology to ensure not only speedy hair styling but also make sure your strands are straightened with a single pass. Next up is the Ionic technology, releasing negative ions as you pass over your strands, helping to close the hair cuticle leaving you with a boast-worthy glossy shine. And lastly is the infrared heating technology. The specialised wavelengths protect and reduce damaged strands by gently heating hair evenly from the inside. As if that’s not enough, lightweight and durable titanium coated plates effortlessly glide over your tresses for frizz-free silky strands. Not only does it do all that, the straightener also heats up quickly, has a digital temperature display and most importantly, has an auto-shut-off after one hour. No more spending hours wondering if you turned your straightener off; phew!
Key features:
- Lightweight design
- Metal Ceramic Heater Technology (MCH) minimises heat damage

Pink nail polish for me. 😀
I think we will go for the classic chocolate
Yes that is more me
Embryolisse sounds great.
Yes that appeals to me too
Never really got into VD. I like the sound of the Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm.
I will always love pink
Love a good pink lip balm
I don’t do VD, and pink’s not really my thing, but I wouldn’t mind trying the Embryolisse Radiant Complexion Cream Rose Glow.
No I am not into pink as a theme
I don’t do V-Day, either. I don’t date through summer – it’s too hot to have anyone in my face bothering me, haha!
Some nice products there but no I wouldn’t theme my products for a season
Interested in the nail press-ons. I have used and reviewed Embryolisse Radiant Complexion Cream Rose Glow – not something I recommend. Also wouldn’t ever recommend Monday haircare – personally have used it and lost CLUMPS of my hair. Scary stuff. Should be off the shelves completely.
That IS scary @Ethelinde. Thanks for the warning.
Wow that is so scary Ethelinde-I agree with you totally
The Dior lipbalm sounds amazing!
When I see pink products I always think of Breast Cancer Foundation.
I have never heard of Monday Haircare – Smooth Shampoo but must say it is affordable.
The Dior lip balm please.
THAT ROSE cream looks lovely
A sheet mask for my butt? Whoa! Right when I think I’ve heard everything! No, not for me.
The pink straightener is cute
None of these appeal to me, but pink is’nt my favourite colour either
I love the sound of this product – Embryolisse Radiant Complexion Cream Rose Glow
The Embryolisse colour is gorgeous but wouldn’t work as well for those of us with faces that tend red
some pretty packaging
I will wear a pink lipstick I’ve got here.
I’ve never been a fan of pink
Lots of cute packaging.
I’m not a big fan of pink, so these don’t really appeal.
I am such a sucker for some cute packaging and love the themed sets they usually do for valentines day.
Pink will be my favourite
Yay the best colour! x
Id love to get my hands on Sol De Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream but its so pricey
I love these product packaging.These are great gifts.
Sol de Janiro is my jam!
The Mco blush and Floral Street candle look divine.
