Finally! Hair Accessories That I Don’t Hate! (and GIVEAWAY)

October 3, 2013 By Haley 55 Comments

Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're here. This is where I share thoughts on liturgical living, faith, parenting, culture, and an extra dose of Jane Austen. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Instagram!

Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're back. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Instagram!

So, I’ve been seeing Lilla Rose hair jewelry popping up everywhere in the past couple of years, but I never really jumped on the bandwagon because my hair has been too short to try out the super popular flexi-clip. And in the past I’ve been disappointed in hair accessory items, because all the ones I buy inevitably break the first time I wear them (same reason I quit buying necklaces!). But then my blogging friend Mandi became an independent consultant and I was checking out her site and everything was just so pretty! So when she offered to sponsor a giveaway for my readers, I was all in.

She sent me a beautiful smoky topaz headband that works great in my super short hair and makes me feel dressed up when I wear it (the one thing I struggle with when I cut my hair short is the monotony, so a nice accessory is really fun.) It’s SO well-made and has a band at the back that’s adjustable so it doesn’t give me a headache like most headbands do.

And she sent little miss Lucy a pair of beautiful heart-shaped bobby pins. Oh my word, y’all. I love ’em! I’ve been buying little bows and pins for her for months and then they only make it through one wearing before falling out or breaking. So I took a good look at these puppies and I think the difference is that the decorative heart is actually soldered onto the pin instead of glued so it’s not going to fall off at any second.

They’re sturdy and stay in her super fine hair perfectly. They even survived a nature walk complete with lots of toddler shenanigans so they’ll now be our special pins for Mass and other fancy occasions because they can handle going through the ringer.

(Toddler shenanigans–bobby pin still intact!)

So, I’m sold on them. The products were super high quality and very reasonably priced and I will definitely be revisiting Mandi’s Lilla Rose site for Christmas shopping.  Pretty things and supporting a young mama’s business in one fell swoop? Yes, please.

And now, your chance to try out the products! Independent Consultant Mandi Richards is offering the giveaway winner one free Lilla Rose item valued at up to $16! Oh, and Lilla Rose will exchange items for free for 90 days, and guarantees them against defects for a whole year. Pretty cool. So enter away, sweet readers! (And this is my first time using Rafflecopter for a giveaway so please let me know if you’re having any trouble getting it to work!)

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Giveaway closes next Monday evening.

Disclosure: Lucy and I received our complimentary hair jewelry to review from Independent Consultant Mandi Richards.

    I’d never heard of Lilla Rose before, but the Flexi Hair Clip sounds AMAZING! I wear my hair half up/half down most of the time, so it would get lots of use!

    I’ve been trying and trying to win one of these certificates because I desperately need one of those flexi-clips! Right now my hair is literally being tied in a ponytail with a piece of old pantyhose!!! I can’t believe I’m even admitting that publicly.

    I’m strongly considering making the chop on my own hair, but even now, I wear my bangs pinned back almost every single day. A pretty new clip or pin would be great!

      Oops, I didn’t leave the right kind of comment. I like the poinsettia mini-flexi. I think it would be perfect for holiday spirit and holding back my bangs. https://secure.lillarose.biz/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartNew/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=18650&CatalogueID=204&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=67.79&ReferringDealerID=834716

    I love hair accessories! I never buy them though because I don’t want to waste the money if I don’t end up wearing it. A little silly because I could always just wear it and the problem would be solved.
