Everyday Wigs Lace Front Review

Hello fellow internet bloggers! I hope you all have been having lovely holidays this year. Now that I've got my laptop back and figured out how to balance this blog and the rest of my life, I have another review. This review is over Everyday Wigs lace front wig. I got this wig because their Instagram was hosting a giveaway for a $50 gift card in which I entered and won. As a college student I'm tight on money which means this was the perfect opportunity to get my first ever lace front wig. It is safe to say that getting this wig was defiantly a good choice. Now, on to the review!

Everyday Wigs website is easy to navigate. At the top of the site there are a few drop down bars to help you find the wig you are looking for from color, length, and hair style. With these features help narrow down what you're looking for without over whelming the customer with several choices. Personally, I like this because if there are over 100 items per section I tend to not even look at all the products. Like I said this is just my personal opinion when it comes to wig shopping.

The wig I ended up choosing was a grey ombre shoulder length wig. I wasn't able to find the exact wig I purchased but I found one similar which you can find here. I've been wanting to get my hands on a silver wig because when I first started college, I wanted to dye my hair either a wine red or a silver/grey color. So this was the perfect opportunity for me to get my first lace front and a nice silver wig!

To be honest I don't quite remember how long it took for the wig to arrive once it was purchased. Upon arrival the wig came in a plastic envelope to protect the package itself. Opening it it came in a cute box which then contained a wig brush, the wig itself, my receipt, a wig cap, and wig care instruction. The wig was in plastic zip lock type bag and wrapped in a hairnet.

Taking the wig out of it's wrapping, I was incredibly pleased. The wig felt so soft and was true to color. There was a generous amount of lace on the front of the wig. After trimming it close to the line hair, I tried it on. To be honest, I was a bit on edge because of the some what blunt hair line. Upon this I turned to YouTube and Instagram to look at some of my favorite people and their lace front wigs. It seemed like this was more on the normal side unless you get a wig that specifically have baby hairs in it. Like any other wig there are adjustable straps in the back of the wig to help shape it to fit your head. There are also tooth combs in the wig to add further security to the fit of the wig.

The following day going to university I decided to wear the wig. I noticed how "flappy" the lace parts were and remembered that some people used eyelash glue to keep the lace bit down. There are better ways to go about this but lash glue was what I had on hand. I glued where my widow's peak was, each side of the lace that is near the ears, and a bit in between each bit of glue. This sounds like I used a lot but in reality I didn't. I used little dots that I spread out thin for more coverage that isn't a mess. Waiting until it was tacky I pressed firmly on the lace for it to secure where it was placed. For those wondering how I get the glue out of my own baby hairs I use a makeup remover wipe. I gently wipe the hairs and slowly start to pull the glue off. Just like that, easy peasy! The same removal happens to the glue that is on my wig to get it off.

I know it looks gross but I left the glue on to show where I glue my wig when I am wearing it.

Wearing the wig out and about in public I didn't feel self conscious at all. I pinned the front bits back so they wouldn't keep getting in my eyes which was the only problematic thing. In class, I had my friends feel the wig and asked them if they thought it was my hair or an actual wig. The only way they knew it was a wig was because this wig is thicker than my actual hair. While walking around campus I got several compliments on my "dye" job. It would appear that they didn't suspect anything at all. If this doesn't convince you it looks like your actual hair, I don't know what will!

Overall, I recommend this wig. It is incredibly soft with a lovely color. I personally think that it is a good wig for newbies to lace front wigs. If I was able to not do a horrendous job in cutting the lace and taking care of the wig anyone can. The wig is easy to care for and is overall wonderful. It looks and feels natural and isn't scratchy. If you want to take a look at EveryDay Wigs selection of wigs click here to take a look!

MellyBeeBows Sponsored Review

Hello fellow internet bloggers! Are you in need of adorable hair accessories at a reasonable price? If so, this review is what you need to read. This review is over the magnificent MellyBeeBows on Etsy. Melissa, the owner, was kind enough to send me three bows for free. She also gave me a coupon code "AsiaPearce" for 10% off your order. Now onto the review!

The bows that I received were the small fabric bows. These bows are 4 inches long and have an alligator clip glued to the back on it. There are three sizes of bows, mini, small, and medium. You can choose between felt and fabric, alligator clips, snap clips, and hair tie bows. This wide selection made it a bit difficult for me to choose which hair bows I would have liked to receive! In the end, I chose a black bow, a burgundy bow, and a white bow all in a size small with alligator clips. These clips are attached by what seems like hot glue. The hot glue seems to help hold the clip closed which is really useful since my hair tends to repel these kinds of clips.

I've worn each bow at least once in both wigs and my natural hair. Each time I've worn them I had no issue with them slipping or sliding around. My hair is on the fine side so it is hard for things to stay in my hair without them slipping around. Somehow with these bow clips, they grab onto my hair and don't slip around. Because of this I feel like they would also be able to stay in any other hair types, real or not!

But Asia, how much are they!? Thank you strangers of the internet I can't actually hear! These bows are incredibly cheap. Each one of the bows I received are under $4! Also, shipping is a reasonable price as well. Shipping time for the shop is typically 2-5 business days depending on location. Sadly, the shop doesn't ship internationally just yet and only ship within the USA. Stay tuned to their Etsy shop and Instagram for updates on shipping locations!

Over all, I absolutely love these bows. Whenever I get the chance to wear a bow, these are the ones I reach for. The quality is way better than what you're actually paying. They are very secure and won't be falling apart on you. MellyBeeBows has a fabulous range of styles of bows that will please anyone's style taste...unless they don't like bows then I don't know what to tell you.

I hope you all enjoyed this review! I apologize greatly for not making a post in forever. This semester of college is over and I've found out how to balance social media and other aspects of life. If you have any suggestions of what I should review next, please let me know!

Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers!

Pinkicon O-Lens Silicone Hydrogel in Magical Grey Sponsored Review

Hey fellow internet bloggers! Hope you all are doing fantastic. I hope you guys like colored contacts because I have another review of them. Personally I love colored contacts because it can change up your entire look without that much effort. I was contacted by Pinkicon through email about possibly reviewing a pair of their contacts. The options they gave me were some what odd to me. The reason why is because of the life span on the contacts once open. They ranged from 1 a day colored contacts to 6 month life span contacts. Personally this was my first time seeing colored contacts with this. After giving much thought of which ones I felt would be best to review, I chose the O-lens Silicone Hydrogel in Magical Grey. I mostly chose these because of an upcoming cosplay of Nyan Cat. The life span on these are 6 months once you open them up.

Upon arrival these lenses came in glass vial jars that are practically the same as any other colored contacts lenses. As always, please be careful when opening these glass jars because the metal seals are very sharp! I find using pliers are the easiest to use when opening the jars. These lenses did come with a contact case which is always incredibly helpful even more so with those who are just starting out with lens wearing. Besides the lenses and lens case I also received a catalog of the companies products. It is in Chinese so it may be a bit difficult to figure things out but thankfully there are pictures and easy to distinguish prices. Once I had explored all of the goodies that arrived within the package, I put my contacts in their case to soak for 8 hours. Normally I like to wait 12 hours before popping in new lenses.

The day of the convention, I did a full face of makeup including false eye lashes. I was a bit on edge with wearing colored contacts with so much makeup. Thankfully I had nothing to worry about. I was able to wear these lenses for a little over 8 hours. Never before in my colored contact wearing have I been able to do this. Usually my eyes begin to get irritated around hour 3 and I have to take them out after hour 5. These lenses were soft, breathable, and extremely comfortable. Even after taking the lenses off, my eyes didn't itch or bother me like what happens with other lenses I wear some time.

Once these lenses expire, I plan on purchasing another pair of these grey lenses. They're also the first pair of grey lenses that don't look like black lenses on me. This is because of how dark brown my eyes are. These lenses though stay a nice cool grey color on me. For those with dark colored eyes, I would highly recommend these to those who need cool grey contacts.

Over all, I would recommend these to anyone who needs contacts. They are incredibly comfortable and make it feel like your'e not wearing anything at all. I give these contacts a 5 out of 5. I had lovely customer service, reasonable shipping time, and an excellent product. If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know!

Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers!

Lush Wigs in Style Carmel Review

Hello fellow internet bloggers! Today I'm coming at you with a wig review. I've been really excited to be able to do this review. Which wig company am I reviewing? The one and only Lush Wigs formally known as Geisha wigs. These wigs price range starts at $33.34 USD and the most expensive is $70.69 USD. Lush Wigs is based in the United Kingdom and ships to multiple countries. To find out if they can ship to your country, click here. Also to figure out how much your shipping will cost, I have included a picture of the chart they have on their website. You can also find the chart yourself here under the "How much does delivery cost?" drop down menu. Shipping ranges depending on where you live. If you're from the UK shipping takes about 2 days, EU takes 3-5 days, and worldwide is 5-7 days. Keep in mind though that these time lines are during business days. Now that we have the technicalities out of the way of cost and shipment, onto the review!

When first deciding to choose a wig, it was incredibly hard to pick which wig to buy first. What made me decide on the Carmel wig, which you can find here, was it's unique color. On the website it states that the wig is a light brown. For me it looked more strawberry blonde which I've always wanted to try on. The only thing that threw me off was the side sweep bangs. I love the look on other people but for me it gets frustrating to wear. A quick fix with some scissors solved the problem though once it was in my hands.

Wig in hairnet and plastic bag

Upon receiving my wig, it arrived in a plastic shipping bag. Within the bag was the wig bag that seals. The wig is wrapped in what looks like an oversized loose hairnet. Some wigs will also come with tissue paper stuffed into the cap to help keep the shape of the "scalp" of the wig or it's tracks. There was also a tag/card that came along with the company's name and the style of the wig. Once I took everything out of it's packaging I did a quick run through with my fingers to separate some of the curls. I found a couple tangles which I was able to easily fix using my wig brush.

After fixing the curls and tangles, I put it on and fell even more in love.
I love the color of the wig and how it goes with my skin tone. I'm always nervous when I get a new wig with how it'll match my skin tone due to how pale I am. That was not an issue with this wig though. Personally, I think the wig looks incredibly natural on me. When I first put it on though, it looked a bit unnatural to be but after wearing it around some and letting it sit on my wig stand, it was all good. Like most wigs, the inside of the wig has some adjustable straps on the back of the wig (kind of where your natural hair line ends). I'm experimenting where I need my straps still. The issue I have is that the wig tends to slip back on me. I don't know if this is because my head is big or I need to adjust the wig so the straps are tighter on my head.

Wig with uncut bangs

When I wear my wig though I don't find it itchy. I've worn a couple wigs that were incredibly itchy so with the little itch there maybe with this wig, I don't notice. The wig can get hot but what wig doesn't get hot on warm days and/or a full day of wearing it? Overall I find this wig to be amazingly comfortable. Even with it's length, which falls to my waist, I don't have any problems with it bothering me when going about my day. While wearing this wig, I've been complimented many times on how people like my new hair style and dye job. It's funny when I tell them its actually a wig because they don't believe me.

I give this product a 9/10. Only reason why it isn't a 10/10 is because of how the wig keeps slipping back some. I can't tell if its because of me not figuring out where I need the straps or what. Overall, I highly recommend this wig to those who are starting to wear wigs to those who are veteran wig wearers. This wig is perfect for daily wear with how realistic and natural it looks. I'm incredibly happy with my purchase of my Caramel LushWigs wig. I defiantly plan on buying more wigs from LushWigs. They have a nice, helpful, and easy to use website. Plus they're shipping time is fantastic. I was expecting my wig to take longer than the actual shipping time was.

Have any of you ordered wigs from LushWigs? If no, do you own wigs? Let me know down in the comments! Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers!

Geolica Euro Lady Aqua Blue Sponsored Review

Hey fellow internet bloggers! Today's review is over Geo Lenses Geolica Euro Lady Aqua Blue contacts that I was sponsored. If any of you follow my YouTube or Instagram, you would have seen me wear these multiple times and a video in which I used these for a make up look. Hands down these are one of the most comfortable pairs of lenses that I own. They look natural and have fooled people into thinking that the color was my actual eye color.

Contents of package

When I first received them, they arrived in a plastic bubble wrap envelope. Within the envelope everything was put together in a plastic wrap bag. Opening the bag I received the contacts, 1 contact lens case, business card, and an informational booklet about the contacts. As I examined the contents of my package, I noticed an anti-fake sticker on the contact lens box. This is something I've never seen when I purchase contacts.

With this, you scratch off the sticker like a lottery ticket. Underneath you find a code to put into Geo Lenses anti-fake system which you can find here. Personally, I find this to be really cool and should be a more known system to use to make sure you lenses are safe.

When I entered my code

Another thing that was different about these lenses of other lenses that I own is there individual packaging. Instead of vials, these came in flat plastic containers with a foil lid. This was awesome since this packaging was a lot safer to open then when opening the glass vial ones. With these all you had to do was peel back the foil. You don't have to worry about accidentally cutting yourself on the mental lip that keeps the stopper on the glass vials. The only con I found with these was that I got the solution the lenses were in all over the table. That could have just been me though since it was my first time working with those kinds of containers. Taking the lenses out are the same as when I take them out of glass vials. You can find a video of how I do that in this video I've previously made here.

Lens containers

With the booklet that was included gave information about the lenses and what everything meant on the lenses containers. This was another thing I've never seen with other companies that I've purchased/received contacts from. All of this extra information from the company with the anti-fake system and informational booklet really put my worries at rest. I'm always slightly nervous with getting contacts from companies that I don't quite know.

Selfie with the lenses

Once I was able to wear the lenses the next day, oh my word they're comfortable! Usually I'm not really able to wear contacts for the whole day. After about half a day of wearing lenses, my eyes started to become irritated. With these though, my eyes only became irritated at the end of the day when I was ready to take the lenses out. Plus I didn't have any other the coloring of the lenses in my field of vision. This is something that annoys me when I wear lenses but not this time! Again, it was like I wasn't wearing anything on my eyes.

Top: w/ lenses
Bottom: w/o lenses

I have dark brown eyes so it can be hard for me to find lighter colored lenses that show up. These lenses though show up amazingly on me. The coloring is my prime blue colored lenses for me that look natural. To the right you will see the comparison with the lenses on and the lenses off.

Overall, the lenses are amazing and I will be purchasing from Geo Lenses. The lenses are incredibly comfortable. During the process of picking out the lenses and talking back and forth with Christine, felt very comfortable with the customer service. From beginning to end, the business was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Geo Lenses to people who are first starting to wear colored contacts to those who have been wearing them for years.

Thats all fellow internet bloggers! Make sure you check out Geo Lenses once again. I hope you all enjoyed this review.

Survive until next time my fellow internet bloggers.
