eclectic giveaway: get straight with ghd hair straightener!
I have three "beauty must haves" my ghds, my Shu Uemura eyelash curler, and Nude Magique CC Cream by L'Oréal. I remember the time and place I first discovered all three. When I first moved to London in 2005, I remember going to a Schwarzkopf Salon and falling in love with her ghds. They heated up in seconds and the ceramic was so gentle on my hair.

I haven't looked back on bad hair since. Read more
