Favorite purchase:
The Revlon One-Step Volumizer hair dryer brush is an amazing 2-in-1 hairstyling tool that helps me feel like I just came out of the hair salon. The best part is that it takes me just eight minutes to do my hair—I timed it—and it's also very affordable.
Hildara has a Master of Science in Journalism, Ohio University; Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications and Journalism, University of Costa Rica; and a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations, University of Costa Rica.
