my husband purchased me the dyson dryer for Christmas out of the blue. He purchased it at a department store that it cannot be returned once it is opened. I returned it without even trying it as in Canada with tax it is almost 700 dollars. I read too many reviews that it wasn't all that and I didn't want to be stuck with a 700 dollar dryer. I am glad now that I returned it.
I have to comment on the Dyson Hair dryer. I have shoulder length, heavily highlighted blonde hair. My hair is fine but I have lots of it. Some natural wave that leans towards frizz. The Dyson dries my hair from soaking wet to completely dry in 7 minutes (yes I timed it). I’ve had the dryer for a year now and my hair has never been healthier. As a bonus it’s the quietest dryer I’ve ever used. 100% believe it’s worth it. I used my ulta points and a 20% off coupon managed to snag it for around $150 last year. Hope this helps someone else.

I bought the Simple Human mirror when I recently lost the vision in my right eye. It's really been invaluable in helping be maintain the skills I'm need in applying makeup!
Also the Clarisonic Mia 2...$169.00 at Ulta...the steep price kept holding me back but I took the plunge to get it and I've never looked back...Love it!!!
I’ve had a Dyson for 2 years now and for me it has made a huge difference! It takes half the time to dry and my hair is so much healthier and so shiny. Worth every penny!!
I think the dry time might not make much difference to me because my hair only takes about 5 minutes to dry with a regular dryer. Great to know that it makes a difference for you!
Jen Luvs Reviews side benefit is that it feels futuristic and makes blowing dry my hair fun; often the theme to The Jetson’s is running through my head!
I have the Sonicare toothbrush and it's seriously life changing!! To anyone reading this, the first generation is super cheap on Amazon. I got mine for $11
I’ll admit I bought the beach waver thinking I most likely would return it. Not only did I keep it but it’s practically the only curling iron I use and I have an entire drawer full of some very expensive curling irons. I love it. I also have the simple human mirror. I just got it for Christmas and I love it. Mine works with Alexa and there’s an app that allows me to adjust my ring light to hundreds of different settings. It also allows me to set how long the light will stay on if no ones looking in it. Two items I don’t want to be without!
You should do a version for face brushes!!! I own the Surratt Beauty Blush Brush which comes in at a whopping $170 here in Australia and as ridiculous as it seems, it’s literally my favourite brush and IMO worth it!
I have a bum shoulder, so the balance difference in the Dyson hair dryer makes it worth it to me. I have the smaller folding travel Simple Human mirror, and I absolutely love it.
I'm buying a Dyson hairdryer next week as a congrats for my first pay check at my new job. A girl gotta treat herself and I LOVE Dyson products, they are really worth the spend and come with lifetime guarantee.
I couldn't live without my Clarisonic mia2 for sure. I have normal/dry skin, but since I've started using it 2 years ago, my tone and texture has improved to near perfection (near...). What I also love about it is when I see a pimple pop up, I circle my Clarisonic over it for a minute with cleanser, and I swear they go away within a day or two. It's amazing. When I don't cleanse with it I feel dirty now. I've tried the knock off one from Olay, and it not the same.
I have the Dyson dryer and I used to love it till I thought it wasn't doing anything special... But then I went to visit my mom and she used her hairdryer and I used mine and it was so frizzy and dry looking so I used mine on her hair and it was so smooth and shiny afterwards... I felt bad I had doubted my hairdryer lol!
Awesome! I am so glad someone gave the real down low on the Dyson dryer! I have been pining for this bloody thing but now, not so much! I was surprised how much noise it actually does create and the whole magnetic attachments get quite hot? I have heard.
I just ordered the Simplehuman mirror and used my discount code and my points from ULTA and will be paying a total of $114. Jen made me buy it! I have actually been thinking of buying it for about 2 years. I just kept putting it off and I'm glad I waited because now I got all the trimmings and it also comes in rose gold. I can't wait for it to get here! Thank you everyone for your input and helping me make my decision.
Hi Jen, I love my Beachwaver S1! It is particularly helpful for me because I have pretty severe nerve damage in my left hand, which makes styling my hair quite difficult. This has made it so much easier. When I bought it, my hairstylist and I laughed because for years we talked about if only the curling iron could spin itself!
Can I just say that I appreciate you putting the temperatures in Celsius on the screen cause people barely ever do that. Also I don’t have the same toothbrush but I do have an oral b electric similar to yours and started using it a couple months before my last dentist visit and he said my teeth had improved so much so I definitely love it (also it has the timer which is useful!)
I'm not a hair person either and I looooove my beachwaver curling iron. Im the worst at curling my hair and I had just given up on it until I bought the beachwaver. It makes it so easy.
I have one of those “Old Hollywood “ type mirrors. So I never paid attention to all the comments on the Simplehuman mirror. BUT, now I realize that this is why my detail work isn’t that great. I need a magnifying mirror. I’m putting it in my list. Thank you for the review! 💜
THANK YOU for doing this video!! I’ve been wanting to pick up a few of these items but never got any feedback or opinions on it. You always have quality content! Your channel truly needs to be over a couple million.
I found a similar mirror at bed bath and beyond that is oval shaped. It plugs in so it stays on til you turn it off. Plus has dual sided mirror and can turn it over to get to the magnification side or the other is a normal mirror. Also only cost around $90. Also has a really cool blue night lite on the bottom of the mirror. I love it. It's amazing how much better my eyebrows look now that I can see what I'm plucking! LOL
I love my Dyson!! I have curly color treated ethnic hair and this works great! It truly cuts my drying time I’m half and I don’t always have to folllow up with flat iron. I also love the beachwaver!!!
Screw all those who criticize your makeup skills!They are a bunch of tools..lol! Makeup is an art and a way for someone to create their own unique canvas! I want a vanity mirror so bad!
Loved the subject for this video. Also wanted to thank you for being " real". I am so tired of all the make up gurus who use so many filters there is no way I could achieve the look they portray. Btw.. Recently in a super stressful time ( high school teacher whose city was hit by a massive hurricane) and my hair started falling out. It was so thin I had to cut it off to chin length .. I feel your pain with thin hair 😢 but I think it looks nice and you do your make up a lot better then I do! 💕
I am not a fan of the Oral-B - it made my teeth and gums very sensitive! Apparently it is usually used incorrectly due to its shape. I ended up buying Sonicare a year ago and love love, love it. SO much better for me. No more sensitive gums. Most dentists recommend Sonicare a little more often.
I have no regrets over the SimpleHuman mirror! My husband bought it for me as a Christmas gift and I love it. I travel with it (even though it's large) because of the great lighting. I keep wanting the Dyson hair dryer but am unwilling to spend $400.
I have the Simple Human mirrors, both the small & big one & I swear by them. They are really a game changer! I use the 10x magnifying mirror for more detailed work like putting on eyeliner, mascara & eyebrows: It’s magnificent: I really don’t know how I live without them! Excellent product! Really worth the money:
The wall mount simple human mirrors do extend. I just bought one that was &199.99 for $30 at work! I would never have spent $200 on a mirror, but $30, hell yeah I can do that. I’m excited to get it hung and use it!
I love your vids Jen!! So many in the beauty community know nothing but how to look cute and the mind numbing stupidity wears me down. Good to see someone with some education and objectivity!!
I love my Simple Human mirror. The new one has Wi-Fi so you can set the on/off time which is great since I think when it is set to the short time it shuts off too quick. So I have mine set to 30 min and have no issues with it turning off while Im doing my makeup. I was able to pick it up during Nordstrom anniversary sale for a little over $100 as I wasn’t willing to pay $200 even if it is an awesome mirror. Also you convinced me to get the oral B toothbrush which is available on Amazon with $30 off coupon. Funny to watch a beauty channel and get convinced about a toothbrush LOL
This was such a good video!! I've been lusting after the mirror, the Beachwaver and that blow dryer. After seeing this, I'm thinking the Beachwaver might be the only one I'd spring for. If my bathroom had a different layout and I could sit to apply my makeup, the mirror would be great. But since I need to hold my 10x mirror for so much of my application, a heavier one wouldn't be ideal. I 'd love if you'd try the Foreo Issa electric toothbrush. The head never needs to be replaced and I've been intrigued for so long. I just want to know if it lives up to the hype - by someone I trust - like Jen!!
Love the Simple Human mirror! I searched and searched until I found it. Didn't wear makeup for several years due to vision and know I get to wear it everyday. Life changing.
I got the dyson blow dryer for christmas and love it. I have alot of back/ shoulder issues and the balance is so much better than regular ones. Plus I have curly thick hair and it has cut way down on blow drying my hair . It also has help tremendously with frizz and shine.
I Just Had to purchase the mirror. So for a whole year I obsessed over getting this mirror, I watched CZcams videos, an did my homework to learn more about it an to find a great price. Then finially I got one!!! During a Nordstrom sale!!! I was so excited, an everything was perfect, Now I would be able to look like Tati, and do my makeup as good as Nikki T.!!! However it's a year later and it glows the corner of my bedroom when the charge gets low. (My son said it's possessed, an spirits are talking through it!?) Kids?! Right!! But my point is, I Really need to work on my, Need to have things because I seen them on CZcams!!!
I really think I found a better mirror than the Simple Human. Zadro Dimmable Sunlight Vanity Mirror, Satin Nickel, 10X-1X. It’s the same size as the SH, has a long cord, an on and off switch instead of a sensor and the mirror flips around for no magnification to 10X magnification. Plus, it’s only $99. I love it.
Jen I know your hair is pretty thin so any hair dryer will likely work. I have VERY thick and long hair. For reference, if I let my hair air dry, it takes 12-16 hours to dry completely. The Dyson dryer allows my to dry my hair in under 7 minutes and that includes using a round brush for styling. Before, I used a Rusk speed freak that was great but it took nearly 12 minutes just to get my hair dry enough to style. The Dyson leaves my hair smoother and with much more body-likely because I’m able to style it while drying. The other pro to the Dyson is how it’s weighted. Since most of the weight is in the handle, once you adjust to the way it feels, you have less fatigue which makes a difference to someone with neck problems!
I have the Dyson blow dryer but I refused to pay the full price so I waited until I had 2000 Ulta points, had a 20% off coupon & used my Christmas gift cards at the start of last year. In the year I’ve had it I’ve only used it a few times because it seems to me that it dries out my hair. It does dry it quicker BUT it feels like dry straw afterwards. I was very disappointed so it just sits there looking pretty while I continue to use my $35 conair blow dryer.
One thing about the dyson hair dryer is that is supposed to be much more light weight so if your a professional hair stylist your arm won’t get as tired throughout the day while giving blowouts. I realize that’s not something the usual consumer would think/ possibly care about.
I LOVE my SH mirror! But, yes I agree the light turns off too quickly! I wish I could back up more to see my face and not only be magnetized...but otherwise it's the best!!!
I love my John Frieda blow dryer, it was around $50 which was a splurge for me, but I use it every day and I love it. I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now and no issues at all. I got it at Rite aid. Thank you for the honesty on the Dyson, I've been lusting after it and now I can move on lol!
Mirrors...yes, important to have a good one. I have a Zadro 8x-1x lighted mirror that I purchased at Sally Beauty a couple years ago. You can easily flip the mirror between magnified or not. Although it is lighted, i have extra lighting in my vanity area due to my vision issues. The list price is $83.99 and I used a Sally coupon when I got mine. I'd definitely buy again.
i have curly hair that takes forever to dry and i noticed significant cut down in diffusing time with that dyson dryer! i love it. i did a recent video with my demo and explained how i paid $1 and change for it at ulta thanks to points :)
It's hard when you have autoimmune diseases that ruin your teeth and hair. People think you just don't take care of yourself. But I love good "beauty tools". This was a fun and unique video idea!!
After seeing that mirror I need it!!! I'm a makeup junkie but I also wear glasses and my bedroom has zero natural light my current Conair lighted mirror gets hot the light is yellow. I need that mirror!!
Misty Madness I got the mirror because I wear glasses. It's been do great for me. I need the magnification and the light is the best of any mirror I've tried.
I have a couple luxury items that I can't live without. The Tyme curling wand. My hair doesn't like to hold a curl but totally does with the Tyme curling wand. The other luxury item I use is a Riki Mirror by Glamcor. it is just like how Jen described it - it has upped by makeup game. I can't imagine putting my makeup on without it.
I love the simply human mirror. I can’t apply makeup without it. However it did break on me 2 yrs out. Best Buy had such a good return policy that I had no issues exchanging the broken one for a new one. The only thing I can’t stand about the mirror is that the light switches off on me all the time when I apply my makeup. I’ve gotten use to it over the years.
I love this video! Thank you for giving us your honest opinion and you look gorgeous as always!❤ I was wondering if maybe next time you do a video like this if you could use a different color background? Because your hair is dark, it's a little hard to tell how your hair looks with the background. Thanks again, I hope you have a good night!
I have the Dyson hairdryer and I do really love it. I have long and very thick hair and it does dry my hair faster than a regular hair dryer. I do think it makes my hair look smoother. I used to dry my hair and it would so long under the heat I was sweaty when I finished. That doesn't happen with the Dyson.
Jen you might not see this but i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you do a review on the Foreo ISSA toothbrush. Ive been contemplating buying one for a while because its expensive replacing the head of my electric toothbrush.
I have the Dyson hair dryer. I have long thick hair. My old dryer or when I went to the salon, it would take 40 minutes to dry my hair. The Dyson dries my hair in just over 5 minutes. Getting 35 minutes back in my day to do something else more productive is well worth the price I paid. I also have the beachwaver and it works amazing on my long thick hair.
I own the mirror and I honestly wish they'd make one without the sensor. Mine is glitchy and doesn't like to turn off now, so I end up pushing the button at the bottom to turn it off every time. I'd really rather just switch it on and off when I need it. That said... there is no comparison with the light on this and any other mirror I've tried. I can't live without it.
Erin C mine is glitchy too. It goes off while I am doing my makeup and sometimes I have to turn the mirror away and then back to me again to get the sensor going.
The simple human mirror is waaaay over priced. I was about to buy it until i found one on Amazon by the brand "KDKD" for about 50$ and it is Amazing in every way! Its the perfect height, has bright led lights that can be dimmed with a touch sensor (same one to turn on and off), has 2 sides one normal, one 7x, charges with a usb cable, and has a beautiful white base and silver frame it looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is.
I have the dyson blow dryer and I love it. I got it 20% off at Sephora plus was given some money for it and had a bunch of store credit to use up. So I didn’t actually spend too much on it. I love it. But I would NEVER suggest full price is worth it at all. It’s not exactly more quiet. It’s just higher pitched so it’s different. I still can’t watch movies or anything blowing out my hair. I have a t3 curling iron that is crazy expensive and can totally see the difference it makes. My curls are shinier and less frizzy and they last forever. I also spent a lot on a ghd hair straightener and love it. I can’t say that mirror is worth it for me. It needs to be double sided!! I don’t use magnified that much. I bought an ihome one at bed bath that is wireless. It has great lighting great magnification and great regular mirror. It also has a subpar Bluetooth speaker and I can charge my phone with it. All in all I paid a lot less than the simple human one and LOVE it. I also love my sonicare toothbrush and my clarisonic mia 2!! Couldn’t live without them.
I love the Dyson hairdryer. I would never have bought it for myself but my Husband gave it to me at Christmas. My hair is relatively thick and butt length. When you have this much hair, you really notice just how great that hairdryer actually is. I think it is worth the money for me.
Nicola Beer same!!! My husband bought me this for Christmas as well and I have long thick hair also. It’s the best hair dryer I’ve ever used!! Totally worth it
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel & I love it! I’m not a professional either! I am Asian Indian and have very thick hair. When it’s long it takes FOREVER to blow dry. I absolutely love this Dyson hair dryer. It has cut my blow drying time tremendously! The Beachwaver I am less impressed than most. I have the 1 inch & my hair gets caught a lot. It seems the clamp is in a weird place at the end of the curl. I use the buttons and do it manually. I also suck at hair so maybe it’s me. I am completely with you on the Supersonic toothbrush. I was very skeptical. My husband loved his so l decided to try it. It is worth every penny. Last time I was at the dentist they told me that I am such a good brusher. Truth is I really am not. Lol!
I would love to try the Dyson hair dryer. As I get older, it gets more exhausting to hold my arms up for any length of time to blow dry my hair. I've seen other reviews where they said they felt like the the drying time was definitely less. If it really helped me get my hair done more quickly, I'd totally pay $400!!!
Hi jen when i saw your thumbnail i thought the mirror was the ihome vanity mirror which is the one i have that I think has wayy more functionalities than the simple human one it stays on for 20 minutes at a time to conserve energy, you just have to press the button again to turn it on, it has a longgg charger, it has Bluetooth that has a pretty loud speaker imo, you can also answer calls& talk to siri if you have an iPhone, charge your phone (only while the actual mirror is charging though),has 2 light settings , and it’s a double sided mirror that flips one side is like 10 times magnified. I got mine as a gift from bed bath and beyond for $150 for the 9” they also have a 6” at walmart for $100, the cheapest i found it right now is at sams for $89 the 9” but it’s out of stock 🙃 depending what site you get it the price varies they have it at target, walmart, amazon, sams, bed bath and beyond and the actual ihome website hope this helps some who wants the simple human one get a cheaper one with more functionalities.
Squirrel_Of_Mistri it is not extremely bright like blinding but definitely bright enough for me to see my whole face like every detail in my dark room i have no lights in my room just some sunlight peeking through my curtains. I use it everyday i do my makeup and i love it.
Thanks for replying!! The lighting in my room is not the greatest either, and I was concerned about that. I also like how the magnification is better than the Simple Human mirror on one of the sides, then no magnification on the other. My eyesight is terrible without my glasses on, and I don't necessarily want to have to pop my contacts in just to do my makeup.
I own an electric toothbrush & I think it has made a difference in the look & health of my teeth. Watching you use those curling irons scared me. I know there’s nothing to get hair tangled in but I’d be the one to get my hair all mangled in the iron. I do want one though. Thanks for doing this video I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else devote an entire tutorial/review to hair tools
I want the hello Kitty x impressions vanity mirror! I hope the price goes down because it is like $200! I had a electrical hello Kitty toothbrush once. Not sure how well it worked but I did like it. Can you tell I like hello Kitty?! Lol!
I have the beach waver as well and love love love it! Took a little bit for me to get used to the buttons and the small clipper but it’s worth the effort! The beach waver seriously saves me about 30-40minutes of time from using a regular curling iron.
When I started doing hair 20 years ago I hated blow-dryers because they are so loud and you are basically screaming at your client. About 5 maybe 10 years in one of our sales reps was promoting a new dryer. The main selling point, it was a silent dryer. I was in love and had to have it. It's was around $250 which all professional tools are fairly expensive because we expect to keep them for years not to mention the fact they are literally how we make our living.....but I digress. This dryer was so heavy! It probably weighed 2 lbs....ok, I know that's not heavy but think about something that would normally weigh ounces now weighs pounds. After doing 5 blow outs in a row I could hardly lift my arm. Needless to say I didn't use that dryer long. It's shoved in a closet with my sling because I ended up having to have my rotator cuff repaired....go figure!
I have a sonicare toothbrush that I love, and added a water flosser recently. I recommend those as well, although they take a little getting used to. I invested in drybar hair tools and I totally love them. I have the three day bender curling iron, which has a rotating barrel but it is manual. I like that, though. The hairdryer is really great; it is the first one I’ve had where I could give myself a good blowout. I’ve been in the market for a fabulous mirror...I might have to invest in yours 🙂
I love my Beachwaver's. I have arthritis & nerve issues. This makes it so nice to curl my hair without pain. I like the original as the only difference I could see with the pro is that it curls automatically. I prefer to control how much I curl.
I used Ulta’s rewards to get my Beachwaver, so it ended up costing me all of $9 with tax. I love it. Doesn’t damage my hair. Easy to use. Never burns me. Doesn’t move around on the counter so it’s safe. Great product!
I have tried the Dyson dryer. I don't own it because that is so not in my budget. But, I loved it when I tried it. My hair is medium length and crazy thick and it takes me an hour to dry my hair completely on medium heat with my dryer. It took me 30/40 minutes with the Dyson. My mother has short hair and didn't feel like it was any faster for her. I inked it, but $400 is just too much for this mother of 5!
Oh I have a NuMe and flat irons. I can’t use them. My hair is already flat straight and thick I l love my big curling wand that heats up fast and regular curling.
my husband purchased me the dyson dryer for Christmas out of the blue. He purchased it at a department store that it cannot be returned once it is opened. I returned it without even trying it as in Canada with tax it is almost 700 dollars. I read too many reviews that it wasn't all that and I didn't want to be stuck with a 700 dollar dryer. I am glad now that I returned it.
I have to comment on the Dyson Hair dryer. I have shoulder length, heavily highlighted blonde hair. My hair is fine but I have lots of it. Some natural wave that leans towards frizz. The Dyson dries my hair from soaking wet to completely dry in 7 minutes (yes I timed it). I’ve had the dryer for a year now and my hair has never been healthier. As a bonus it’s the quietest dryer I’ve ever used. 100% believe it’s worth it. I used my ulta points and a 20% off coupon managed to snag it for around $150 last year. Hope this helps someone else.

I just got it for Christmas and I love it. Mine works with Alexa and there’s an app that allows me to adjust my ring light to hundreds of different settings.

You should do a version for face brushes!!! I own the Surratt Beauty Blush Brush which comes in at a whopping $170 here in Australia and as ridiculous as it seems, it’s literally my favourite brush and IMO worth it!
I have a bum shoulder, so the balance difference in the Dyson hair dryer makes it worth it to me. I have the smaller folding travel Simple Human mirror, and I absolutely love it.
I'm buying a Dyson hairdryer next week as a congrats for my first pay check at my new job. A girl gotta treat herself and I LOVE Dyson products, they are really worth the spend and come with lifetime guarantee.
I couldn't live without my Clarisonic mia2 for sure. I have normal/dry skin, but since I've started using it 2 years ago, my tone and texture has improved to near perfection (near...). What I also love about it is when I see a pimple pop up, I circle my Clarisonic over it for a minute with cleanser, and I swear they go away within a day or two. It's amazing.

Awesome! I am so glad someone gave the real down low on the Dyson dryer! I have been pining for this bloody thing but now, not so much! I was surprised how much noise it actually does create and the whole magnetic attachments get quite hot? I have heard.
The Kiss InstaWave is my go-to for curling my hair. It is so easy to use and you never get the weird crimp at the end out your hair from the clamp.
I just ordered the Simplehuman mirror and used my discount code and my points from ULTA and will be paying a total of $114. Jen made me buy it! I have actually been thinking of buying it for about 2 years. I just kept putting it off and I'm glad I waited because now I got all the trimmings and it also comes in rose gold. I can't wait for it to get here! Thank you everyone for your input and helping me make my decision.
Tina Huffman rose gold???! I may need it.
Rose gold?! Urgh.. now *I* want one.
I just purchased mine as well with the 20percent off and redeem my $125 points I’m super excited for it too get it here.
Hi Jen, I love my Beachwaver S1! It is particularly helpful for me because I have pretty severe nerve damage in my left hand, which makes styling my hair quite difficult.

Also I don’t have the same toothbrush but I do have an oral b electric similar to yours and started using it a couple months before my last dentist visit and he said my teeth had improved so much so I definitely love it (also it has the timer which is useful!)
I now feel like NEED the Beachwaver! LOL! Great video Jen! Thanks!
Totally agree about the toothbrush. I've had much better exams since I started using Oral B. Good dental hygiene is important for your general health!
I'm not a hair person either and I looooove my beachwaver curling iron. Im the worst at curling my hair and I had just given up on it until I bought the beachwaver. It makes it so easy.
I have one of those “Old Hollywood “ type mirrors. So I never paid attention to all the comments on the Simplehuman mirror. BUT, now I realize that this is why my detail work isn’t that great. I need a magnifying mirror. I’m putting it in my list. Thank you for the review! 💜
I have a large mirror with light bulbs around it AND the Simple Human mirror! It's definitely worth it in my book.
THANK YOU for doing this video!! I’ve been wanting to pick up a few of these items but never got any feedback or opinions on it. You always have quality content! Your channel truly needs to be over a couple million.
I found a similar mirror at bed bath and beyond that is oval shaped. It plugs in so it stays on til you turn it off. Plus has dual sided mirror and can turn it over to get to the magnification side or the other is a normal mirror. Also only cost around $90. Also has a really cool blue night lite on the bottom of the mirror. I love it. It's amazing how much better my eyebrows look now that I can see what I'm plucking! LOL
I love this video! Please do more videos like this?!
I love my Dyson!! I have curly color treated ethnic hair and this works great! It truly cuts my drying time I’m half and I don’t always have to folllow up with flat iron. I also love the beachwaver!!!
Screw all those who criticize your makeup skills!They are a bunch of tools..lol! Makeup is an art and a way for someone to create their own unique canvas! I want a vanity mirror so bad!
lol the intro - my hand was firmly in my pocket 😂I don't own a hair dryer or a straightener LOL!
Loved the subject for this video. Also wanted to thank you for being " real". I am so tired of all the make up gurus who use so many filters there is no way I could achieve the look they portray. Btw.. Recently in a super stressful time ( high school teacher whose city was hit by a massive hurricane) and my hair started falling out. It was so thin I had to cut it off to chin length .. I feel your pain with thin hair 😢 but I think it looks nice and you do your make up a lot better then I do! 💕
I am not a fan of the Oral-B - it made my teeth and gums very sensitive! Apparently it is usually used incorrectly due to its shape. I ended up buying Sonicare a year ago and love love, love it. SO much better for me. No more sensitive gums. Most dentists recommend Sonicare a little more often.
Kristin Peterson I prefer that one too, it’s incredible!
I have no regrets over the SimpleHuman mirror! My husband bought it for me as a Christmas gift and I love it. I travel with it (even though it's large) because of the great lighting. I keep wanting the Dyson hair dryer but am unwilling to spend $400.
My boyfriend went to the dentist a couple of years ago, and we got those toothbrushes, we love them 😊… we even take them camping...
I have the Simple Human mirrors, both the small & big one & I swear by them. They are really a game changer! I use the 10x magnifying mirror for more detailed work like putting on eyeliner, mascara & eyebrows: It’s magnificent: I really don’t know how I live without them! Excellent product! Really worth the money:
The wall mount simple human mirrors do extend. I just bought one that was &199.99 for $30 at work! I would never have spent $200 on a mirror, but $30, hell yeah I can do that. I’m excited to get it hung and use it!
I haven’t tried any of these products but I really like the curling iron!
I love your vids Jen!! So many in the beauty community know nothing but how to look cute and the mind numbing stupidity wears me down. Good to see someone with some education and objectivity!!
Thanks Jen! I was considering that hair dryer but wasn’t sure how different it was from a regular dryer. You just saved me $400. 😉
I love my Simple Human mirror. The new one has Wi-Fi so you can set the on/off time which is great since I think when it is set to the short time it shuts off too quick. So I have mine set to 30 min and have no issues with it turning off while Im doing my makeup. I was able to pick it up during Nordstrom anniversary sale for a little over $100 as I wasn’t willing to pay $200 even if it is an awesome mirror. Also you convinced me to get the oral B toothbrush which is available on Amazon with $30 off coupon. Funny to watch a beauty channel and get convinced about a toothbrush LOL
What model number?
🙋🏻♀️ My Dyson Supersonic hairdryer just arrived. It’s LIFE CHANGING!
This was such a good video!! I've been lusting after the mirror, the Beachwaver and that blow dryer. After seeing this, I'm thinking the Beachwaver might be the only one I'd spring for. If my bathroom had a different layout and I could sit to apply my makeup, the mirror would be great. But since I need to hold my 10x mirror for so much of my application, a heavier one wouldn't be ideal.
I 'd love if you'd try the Foreo Issa electric toothbrush. The head never needs to be replaced and I've been intrigued for so long. I just want to know if it lives up to the hype - by someone I trust - like Jen!!
Love the Simple Human mirror! I searched and searched until I found it. Didn't wear makeup for several years due to vision and know I get to wear it everyday. Life changing.
I got the dyson blow dryer for christmas and love it. I have alot of back/ shoulder issues and the balance is so much better than regular ones. Plus I have curly thick hair and it has cut way down on blow drying my hair . It also has help tremendously with frizz and shine.
I can't leave without the toothbrush! I have the same Oral B and I love it
I Just Had to purchase the mirror. So for a whole year I obsessed over getting this mirror, I watched CZcams videos, an did my homework to learn more about it an to find a great price. Then finially I got one!!! During a Nordstrom sale!!! I was so excited, an everything was perfect, Now I would be able to look like Tati, and do my makeup as good as Nikki T.!!! However it's a year later and it glows the corner of my bedroom when the charge gets low. (My son said it's possessed, an spirits are talking through it!?) Kids?! Right!! But my point is, I Really need to work on my, Need to have things because I seen them on CZcams!!!
I really think I found a better mirror than the Simple Human. Zadro Dimmable Sunlight Vanity Mirror, Satin Nickel, 10X-1X. It’s the same size as the SH, has a long cord, an on and off switch instead of a sensor and the mirror flips around for no magnification to 10X magnification. Plus, it’s only $99. I love it.
Gigi Frisby where did you buy it?
Amazon.
I got mine on Amazon. Search "Zadro Dimmable Sunlight Vanity Mirror" and it's the first one to pop up. I got mine for $99 but it is $118 today. :(
Jen I know your hair is pretty thin so any hair dryer will likely work. I have VERY thick and long hair. For reference, if I let my hair air dry, it takes 12-16 hours to dry completely. The Dyson dryer allows my to dry my hair in under 7 minutes and that includes using a round brush for styling. Before, I used a Rusk speed freak that was great but it took nearly 12 minutes just to get my hair dry enough to style. The Dyson leaves my hair smoother and with much more body-likely because I’m able to style it while drying. The other pro to the Dyson is how it’s weighted. Since most of the weight is in the handle, once you adjust to the way it feels, you have less fatigue which makes a difference to someone with neck problems!
I just said the same thing about the Dyson! I posted mine and the read your comment and I couldn't agree more! If you have thick hair - it is amazing!
I have the Dyson blow dryer but I refused to pay the full price so I waited until I had 2000 Ulta points, had a 20% off coupon & used my Christmas gift cards at the start of last year. In the year I’ve had it I’ve only used it a few times because it seems to me that it dries out my hair. It does dry it quicker BUT it feels like dry straw afterwards. I was very disappointed so it just sits there looking pretty while I continue to use my $35 conair blow dryer.
CLluvsPurple thanks for posting this! I have been wanting this dryer since it came out but just haven’t had the 💰 at the right time, now I’ll skip
One thing about the dyson hair dryer is that is supposed to be much more light weight so if your a professional hair stylist your arm won’t get as tired throughout the day while giving blowouts. I realize that’s not something the usual consumer would think/ possibly care about.
I LOVE my SH mirror! But, yes I agree the light turns off too quickly! I wish I could back up more to see my face and not only be magnetized...but otherwise it's the best!!!
As someone with curly hair, the Dyson works really well for me. It dries my hair quickly without drying it out and making me go deaf.
The Clarisonic! I love mine ! Then the mega bucks spent on the products ! My weakness but I love love !
I am a fan of my sonicare toothbrush and I think my Simplehuman mirror is worth every penny. I even have the small travel one!!
I love my John Frieda blow dryer, it was around $50 which was a splurge for me, but I use it every day and I love it. I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now and no issues at all. I got it at Rite aid. Thank you for the honesty on the Dyson, I've been lusting after it and now I can move on lol!
Mirrors...yes, important to have a good one. I have a Zadro 8x-1x lighted mirror that I purchased at Sally Beauty a couple years ago. You can easily flip the mirror between magnified or not. Although it is lighted, i have extra lighting in my vanity area due to my vision issues. The list price is $83.99 and I used a Sally coupon when I got mine. I'd definitely buy again.
Haha love the intro where you raise your hand gingerly
Me too Jen ! And products also sometimes to to look at too admire then use !
I love my beachwaver - I have a ton of baby fine hair so I have to do do two and three layers for waves. I have a bum shoulder so this has been 👍
i have curly hair that takes forever to dry and i noticed significant cut down in diffusing time with that dyson dryer! i love it. i did a recent video with my demo and explained how i paid $1 and change for it at ulta thanks to points :)
It's hard when you have autoimmune diseases that ruin your teeth and hair. People think you just don't take care of yourself. But I love good "beauty tools". This was a fun and unique video idea!!
H Vanity most people are garbage don’t even worry what they think 😊 hope you’re doing okay
Tara - thank you so much for replying! I really needed to hear that right now. 🤗 And I'm feeling pretty good today.
After seeing that mirror I need it!!! I'm a makeup junkie but I also wear glasses and my bedroom has zero natural light my current Conair lighted mirror gets hot the light is yellow. I need that mirror!!
Misty Madness I got the mirror because I wear glasses. It's been do great for me. I need the magnification and the light is the best of any mirror I've tried.
I have a couple luxury items that I can't live without. The Tyme curling wand. My hair doesn't like to hold a curl but totally does with the Tyme curling wand. The other luxury item I use is a Riki Mirror by Glamcor. it is just like how Jen described it - it has upped by makeup game. I can't imagine putting my makeup on without it.
I love the simply human mirror. I can’t apply makeup without it. However it did break on me 2 yrs out. Best Buy had such a good return policy that I had no issues exchanging the broken one for a new one. The only thing I can’t stand about the mirror is that the light switches off on me all the time when I apply my makeup. I’ve gotten use to it over the years.
"I am not a hair person, I just not"🤗 Me too Jen
I love this video! Thank you for giving us your honest opinion and you look gorgeous as always!❤ I was wondering if maybe next time you do a video like this if you could use a different color background? Because your hair is dark, it's a little hard to tell how your hair looks with the background. Thanks again, I hope you have a good night!
Btw, I think you're great at makeup! That makes me sad people have told you over and over that you aren't
I have the Dyson hairdryer and I do really love it. I have long and very thick hair and it does dry my hair faster than a regular hair dryer. I do think it makes my hair look smoother. I used to dry my hair and it would so long under the heat I was sweaty when I finished. That doesn't happen with the Dyson.
Jen you might not see this but i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you do a review on the Foreo ISSA toothbrush. Ive been contemplating buying one for a while because its expensive replacing the head of my electric toothbrush.
I have a nume curling wand and I love it! But this curling wand looks amazing!
I have the Dyson hair dryer. I have long thick hair. My old dryer or when I went to the salon, it would take 40 minutes to dry my hair. The Dyson dries my hair in just over 5 minutes. Getting 35 minutes back in my day to do something else more productive is well worth the price I paid. I also have the beachwaver and it works amazing on my long thick hair.
Simple human...totally worth it!!!
I own the mirror and I honestly wish they'd make one without the sensor. Mine is glitchy and doesn't like to turn off now, so I end up pushing the button at the bottom to turn it off every time. I'd really rather just switch it on and off when I need it. That said... there is no comparison with the light on this and any other mirror I've tried. I can't live without it.
Erin C mine is glitchy too. It goes off while I am doing my makeup and sometimes I have to turn the mirror away and then back to me again to get the sensor going.
The simple human mirror is waaaay over priced. I was about to buy it until i found one on Amazon by the brand "KDKD" for about 50$ and it is Amazing in every way! Its the perfect height, has bright led lights that can be dimmed with a touch sensor (same one to turn on and off), has 2 sides one normal, one 7x, charges with a usb cable, and has a beautiful white base and silver frame it looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is.
I have the dyson blow dryer and I love it. I got it 20% off at Sephora plus was given some money for it and had a bunch of store credit to use up. So I didn’t actually spend too much on it. I love it. But I would NEVER suggest full price is worth it at all. It’s not exactly more quiet. It’s just higher pitched so it’s different. I still can’t watch movies or anything blowing out my hair. I have a t3 curling iron that is crazy expensive and can totally see the difference it makes. My curls are shinier and less frizzy and they last forever. I also spent a lot on a ghd hair straightener and love it. I can’t say that mirror is worth it for me. It needs to be double sided!! I don’t use magnified that much. I bought an ihome one at bed bath that is wireless. It has great lighting great magnification and great regular mirror. It also has a subpar Bluetooth speaker and I can charge my phone with it. All in all I paid a lot less than the simple human one and LOVE it. I also love my sonicare toothbrush and my clarisonic mia 2!! Couldn’t live without them.
I love the Dyson hairdryer. I would never have bought it for myself but my Husband gave it to me at Christmas. My hair is relatively thick and butt length. When you have this much hair, you really notice just how great that hairdryer actually is. I think it is worth the money for me.
Nicola Beer same!!! My husband bought me this for Christmas as well and I have long thick hair also. It’s the best hair dryer I’ve ever used!! Totally worth it
I bought a Brazilian blowout flat iron for 130 bucks I didn’t want to spend that 💰 but I need the titanium plates it has for my hair lol I love it!!!!
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel & I love it! I’m not a professional either! I am Asian Indian and have very thick hair. When it’s long it takes FOREVER to blow dry. I absolutely love this Dyson hair dryer. It has cut my blow drying time tremendously! The Beachwaver I am less impressed than most. I have the 1 inch & my hair gets caught a lot. It seems the clamp is in a weird place at the end of the curl. I use the buttons and do it manually. I also suck at hair so maybe it’s me. I am completely with you on the Supersonic toothbrush. I was very skeptical. My husband loved his so l decided to try it. It is worth every penny. Last time I was at the dentist they told me that I am such a good brusher. Truth is I really am not. Lol!
I would love to try the Dyson hair dryer. As I get older, it gets more exhausting to hold my arms up for any length of time to blow dry my hair. I've seen other reviews where they said they felt like the the drying time was definitely less. If it really helped me get my hair done more quickly, I'd totally pay $400!!!
Hi jen when i saw your thumbnail i thought the mirror was the ihome vanity mirror which is the one i have that I think has wayy more functionalities than the simple human one it stays on for 20 minutes at a time to conserve energy, you just have to press the button again to turn it on, it has a longgg charger, it has Bluetooth that has a pretty loud speaker imo, you can also answer calls& talk to siri if you have an iPhone, charge your phone (only while the actual mirror is charging though),has 2 light settings , and it’s a double sided mirror that flips one side is like 10 times magnified. I got mine as a gift from bed bath and beyond for $150 for the 9” they also have a 6” at walmart for $100, the cheapest i found it right now is at sams for $89 the 9” but it’s out of stock 🙃 depending what site you get it the price varies they have it at target, walmart, amazon, sams, bed bath and beyond and the actual ihome website hope this helps some who wants the simple human one get a cheaper one with more functionalities.
Is the light really bright? I've been looking at both mirrors online, but was concerned the iHome mirror wouldn't be bright enough.
Squirrel_Of_Mistri it is not extremely bright like blinding but definitely bright enough for me to see my whole face like every detail in my dark room i have no lights in my room just some sunlight peeking through my curtains. I use it everyday i do my makeup and i love it.
Thanks for replying!! The lighting in my room is not the greatest either, and I was concerned about that. I also like how the magnification is better than the Simple Human mirror on one of the sides, then no magnification on the other. My eyesight is terrible without my glasses on, and I don't necessarily want to have to pop my contacts in just to do my makeup.
OMG, I just LOVE you! Yes, we will NOT buy crappy products!
I adore my Dyson--I have had it for almost a year and have used it more times than I have any other dryer.
Beauty starts with the basics like brushing your teeth and brushing your hair.
I have one of the most expensive Sonic toothbrush and I ❤ it,
The Dyson hairdryer saves me half of the time drying my hair (pass my butt length).
Thanks for reviewing these tools
I have been intrigued by the Dyson dryer. Thanks for the info. Now I want a Beach Waver :).
I own an electric toothbrush & I think it has made a difference in the look & health of my teeth. Watching you use those curling irons scared me. I know there’s nothing to get hair tangled in but I’d be the one to get my hair all mangled in the iron. I do want one though. Thanks for doing this video I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else devote an entire tutorial/review to hair tools
I want the hello Kitty x impressions vanity mirror! I hope the price goes down because it is like $200! I had a electrical hello Kitty toothbrush once. Not sure how well it worked but I did like it. Can you tell I like hello Kitty?! Lol!
I have the beach waver as well and love love love it! Took a little bit for me to get used to the buttons and the small clipper but it’s worth the effort! The beach waver seriously saves me about 30-40minutes of time from using a regular curling iron.
When I started doing hair 20 years ago I hated blow-dryers because they are so loud and you are basically screaming at your client. About 5 maybe 10 years in one of our sales reps was promoting a new dryer. The main selling point, it was a silent dryer. I was in love and had to have it. It's was around $250 which all professional tools are fairly expensive because we expect to keep them for years not to mention the fact they are literally how we make our living.....but I digress. This dryer was so heavy! It probably weighed 2 lbs....ok, I know that's not heavy but think about something that would normally weigh ounces now weighs pounds. After doing 5 blow outs in a row I could hardly lift my arm. Needless to say I didn't use that dryer long. It's shoved in a closet with my sling because I ended up having to have my rotator cuff repaired....go figure!
I looove my Simple Human Mirror!!!! I bought it in recommendation from you!!!
It's such a pleasure watching your videos Jen ❤️ I always get positive vibes from you and you always keep it real on your reviews 👏
I think I need the beachwaver
I have a sonicare toothbrush that I love, and added a water flosser recently. I recommend those as well, although they take a little getting used to. I invested in drybar hair tools and I totally love them. I have the three day bender curling iron, which has a rotating barrel but it is manual. I like that, though. The hairdryer is really great; it is the first one I’ve had where I could give myself a good blowout. I’ve been in the market for a fabulous mirror...I might have to invest in yours 🙂
That Beachwaver curling iron looks AMAZING!!🤯 This was a great video, very helpful, informative, and different. Thanks, Jen..Mad Love!!❤️😘 xoxoxoxo
I love my Beachwaver's. I have arthritis & nerve issues. This makes it so nice to curl my hair without pain. I like the original as the only difference I could see with the pro is that it curls automatically. I prefer to control how much I curl.
I am going to look into the Simply Human mirror. I should have bought when Nordstrom had it on their big sale. Thanks for the reviews.
I used Ulta’s rewards to get my Beachwaver, so it ended up costing me all of $9 with tax. I love it. Doesn’t damage my hair. Easy to use. Never burns me. Doesn’t move around on the counter so it’s safe. Great product!
Amy R. That's some crazy rewards points you had there!
Unless the Dyson blow dryer comes with a vacuum attachment ....yeah no thank you.
I have tried the Dyson dryer. I don't own it because that is so not in my budget. But, I loved it when I tried it. My hair is medium length and crazy thick and it takes me an hour to dry my hair completely on medium heat with my dryer. It took me 30/40 minutes with the Dyson. My mother has short hair and didn't feel like it was any faster for her. I inked it, but $400 is just too much for this mother of 5!
Kim Bailey have you checked out the parlux driers? My hair is fine and mid back, and that does my hair in 5 minutes. Maybe worth some research
Oh I have a NuMe and flat irons. I can’t use them. My hair is already flat straight and thick I l love my big curling wand that heats up fast and regular curling.
Electric toothbrushes are beauty products for sure. All the makeup in the world won't make up for less than pristine teeth. lol
100% agree!!!
LOVE THIS VIDEO CONCEPT, BUT A LIGHTER BACKDROP WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER. IT WAS HARD TO SEE YOUR HAIR. 👀👣👀👀👀👀👀👀👣👀👀👀👀🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Hi Jen, I have that mirror & I love it.
