Paul Mitchell recently sent me this fabulous *LIMITED EDITION* Rose Gold 1.25″ Express Ion Smooth+ Iron & Brush. I then created a hair tutorial using my new styling tools (scroll down to view), and guess what, boss ladies?

Paul Mitchell has generously offered to sponsor an exclusive giveaway for a 2nd set of styling tools! See below for the super easy entry requirements.

P.S. If you don’t want to wait to get your hands on an exclusive rose gold styling kit, you can pick up the limited edition set from the Paul Mitchell official site.
