[Wig Review] Keautystore.com Pony Tail Review

Pictures curtesy of Keautystore.com

As promised, I am back with a new review from Keaurtystore.com! Today I am finally reviewing one of my favourite pieces i have ordered, the Style Pony Glam Wave Tie Up Ponytail


This pony tail is a 50 cm clip/tie in pony tale with a curly wave style at the bottom. Again I ordered it in the colour, natural brown as that is the colour that most suits my hair shade, although this particular style comes in 9 shades. That is the most I have ever seen any hair product across many online stores carry.





The hair piece stays on by a small set of comb teeth connected to a ribbon that ties. When putting in the hair piece, you first make a pony tail or a small bun. Clip the teeth into the hair elastic, and then tie the ribbon around the ponytail a few times until the hair wraps around your ponytail and looks natural. What I usually do with the rest of the ribbon is tie it in a bow underneath my pony tail and secure it down with a bobby pin. After that I either wrap a strand of hair around to cover the ribbon or use another decorative elastic over top.

RATINGS


Style: 4.5/5
I absolutely LOVE this hair piece. It is the perfect length, and adds a nice romantic look to any style. the curls are the bottom keep their shape beautifully and look really natural. I took a half point off because the ponytail itself isn't that thick, and after wearing it for some time the curls tighten and make it look much thinner and curlier rather then wavy. When my hair grows longer it will help thicken up the pony tail, but I'm not sure how it will effect the curls.

Quality: 5/5
I am always blown away by how amazing the quality of the hair products is at Keautystore. The quality you get for the price you pay is amazing, and all of their products last for so long even with constant wear. You do have the option to use heat on their hair products as well, although i don't advise it.

Ease of Use: 4/5
It is super easy to use this product, the only issue I have with it, is that some times the teeth come out or loosen your own hair tie, and it starts to fall out. If I'm going to be out for a long time, I always use extra bobby pins to secure everything just in case as well as tying everything really tight so it stays in.

Over all:4.5/5
As I have already mentioned, I love love LOVE this product. At $29.00US its not the cheapest (but lets be real.. 30 bucks is totally a great price) but I am so happy with this product. Its something I wear almost every day, and sometimes even wear it with my clip in extensions to make a nice half up half down hair style. Its definitely a great versatile piece.

Here are a few pictures with my wearing them!

[Wig Review] Upstyle Talent Queen Fashion Wig - Keautystore.com

As I had mentioned in my previous beauty haul, I ordered some new hair accessories and so far have been loving them! Today I will be reviewing the bun style wig i had purchased. 

I have been wanting to put my hair up in an acceptable bun for a really really long time. I cut my hair short in the winter and since then iv been stuck in that odd, mid length limbo. I can put my hair in a meek little ponytail but I love wearing top knots (which i cant anymore *sigh*).

While searching the website, I found a really cute bun style which was on sale for $4.30 from its original $8.60 price. I figured what could go wrong with buying it! Cheap, good reviews and it looked amazing on the model. 


Its always easy ordering hair items from this site, since they do a very good job at show casting the different colours and actually explaining what each colour looks like. This bun for instance comes in three different colours, natural black, natural brown and two toned brown. 

       Natural Black                                Natural Brown                                 Two Tone Brown

My hair has turned back to its natural dark brown hue, so the colour i chose was natural brown. Their explanation of the colour is "looks dark brown indoor and normal brown outdoor" which is exactly how i would explain my hair colour.

I was extremely excited when I finally received my parcel with all of my goodies. Everything was neatly packaged and ready to wear. The bun came individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag, and even came with a little instruction sheet to ensure you wear the bun properly.


Now for my Ratings!

Colour / shine = 5/5
As previously mentioned, the colour suits my hair perfectly. I was nervous at first since I wasn't sure if it would look too fake, or a completely different colour. It isn't shiny either and looks and feels like real hair. 

Quality =4/5
The quality is amazing for something that was less then 5 dollars. It doesn't shed and it stays in wonderfully. The only reason i took a point off is because it tangles quite easily. It is made with shorter hairs so even though it tangles, it is quite easy to get out. Also the elastic is extremely sturdy so far. 

Style = 3.5/5
The only thing that isn't amazing about this product is that i t looks slightly different then the models, which usually happens with online purchases. My bun isn't made with a smoother texture, it is more curly when i wear it. To smooth it out, i have to brush it and pin the ends down, otherwise it looks like a big curly mess at the back of my head. 

Overall =4/5
This product does exactly what i intended to use it for, and goes above and beyond what i thought it would for the price. It gives me the look i want, and is extremely comfortable to wear. Its easy to use, and takes me from a terrible hair day to a fabulous up do in minutes.

[Beauty Haul] Keautystore.com

As promised I am writing about my amazing experience with Keautystore.com and the wonderful items I purchased! As I had mentioned in my last lens review, I had recently made a purchase of 4 items off of their website for the first time since the company switched names and moved to Korea. Needless to say, their service was stellar! The few I came into contact with were very helpful with any problems I had, and all emails were answered within 24 hours.

I have always kept a watchful eye over all of their new products coming through the store, as well as prices on their amazing hair pieces and makeup. After purchasing a set of clip in hair extensions from the original shop, I was hooked. Finally a few weeks ago I decided to get a replacement pair since I had worn the originals to death.

$20.28 CAD

While looking through the hair section, I also found a gorgeous clip in ponytail hair piece as well as a bun up do hair piece on sale. I figure I needed these since my short hair has been driving me crazy. I cant even make a proper bun T__T.

$29.70 CAD

The last thing I ordered was an eyebrow razor since I have also taken to shaving off half of my eyebrows recently. Call me crazy, but its sooo much easier drawing on the tail end of the eyebrow then shaping it... for me anyways.

$2.80 CAD

All together my total came to $64.52 (I had also ordered a pore brush, but it was out of stock), but with points collected from my previous orders as well as item reviews on their website, I received about 20 dollars off and only paid $42.74. That is with shipping included as well!

As I had mentioned before, the person I had emailed over the pore brush was extremely helpful and even tried to find the next best item on their site as a substitute. Unfortunately the only similar item was about 3 times more then I wanted to spend, so they refunded me my money back on paypal immediately, no if, ands or buts about it. Something iv always been nervous about was getting refunded from an online shop, but at Keautystore, there is absolutely no hassle! 

After about a week and a half, I came home to find a large box hanging out of my mailbox from Korea. Needless to say I was thrilled and literally ran inside to see what I received. I am always super impatient while waiting for a package, and I was nervous to see how long I had to wait, but it took almost the same amount of time it would have taken from their old location in Canada. This made me a very happy camper!

It was alot nicer then this..I just kinda tore through everything right away before taking a picture :/


The box was nicely sealed with no cracks or bumps in it from its journey. Opening it I could see everything laid out neatly all packaged and only slightly bent. Everything arrived safe and sound, and I'm so happy to start using my items and post for you guys!

sooo many samples <3

If you would like to order from Keautystore.com, make sure to use my coupon code: mikkidoll to get 5% off your entire purchase! I really wouldn't be talking up this store if it wasn't worth the hype. They are definitely a company I will buy more from in the near future!

Happy Valentimes!! also Colorful Circle haul!!

Time for another late night post!! But it was quite an eventful day..It was VALENTINES DAYYY!!
xoxoxo love xoxoxo

To start off, I spent the morning running around and planning a wonderful dinner for my hubby while he was in class. I also had to get my mom a little sumthin sumthin too, I didn't want her to feel left out.



 I planned a special dinner for the boy with our favourite, chicken Alfredo pasta, and chocolate covered strawberries! It was really good if I do say so myself! I'm also a dork so I ran to the dollar store and bought an obscene amount of decorations for my house, as well as for my hand made valentines cards I make every year. I even folded the napkins into little hearts :3

Hubbyfriend looking pissed cuz im taking pictures and not eating lol 
(yay heart decorations!)


pasta and my chocolate covered strawberries...they didn't all fit in the chocolate bowl :(

            (Heart Napkin!!        ^^^^)


Outfit wise, I played it cool and cute with my new favourite dress. My peter pan collar dress! I love the play on cute and sexy with its black mesh and beige sweetheart neckline and collar. Not to mention I just looked really good in it!



My makeup and hair were super simple. I curled my hair in loose waves and swept it into a low side pony tail, which really went well with the cuteness of the dress. Makeup was super simple with black liner, pink, brown and golden eyeshadow and mascara. I did use some light pink blush and my Lioele pink and red lip pencils.

Here's the look. Took me only 5 min.

Close up on eyes..i make weird faces..


Now some of that makeup that I used actually came in the mail today! Oh did I forget to mention I got my Colorful Circle package? :D Well I did, and I couldn't be happier!


I only ordered three things, but I was super surprised to open the box and find a million and 1 little freebies! (Thank you jeebus!) My order included some cute clip on bangs, (I cant tell if I picked the wrong colour or if they sent me the wrong one :/ But hey, that's online shopping for ya!) Lioele All in One Gel Liner (in smokey black) and my Lioele Carry Me Blusher in the light pink colour. Tonight I used the blusher and the liner with my own makeup, and I loved them both! 




Now for the freebies! I received 2 trials of Sue Hydrating gel, Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base trial , 2 Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream trials as well as a package of Hera Aquabolic serum. Okay, so 6 more isn't a million and 1...but it might as well be..

The whole haul :)

Now a more in depth look at the items I purchased :)

The bangs are really cute, and can be worn in 3 different styles:
.
Straight

  Parted                           or                        Sideswept

They are really easy to clip in, and the style blends really well, although for me the colour is a little bit off. With a headband it looks really cute and helps hide the line between bang and real hair as well as helps to blend the colours of my hair, and the bang hair together.

The eyeliner is really nice too! It reminds me of a transformer a little because to get the brush out, you have to pull the top, flip it, take off the little brush protector, and slide it back in. Not gonna lie, I make machine noises when I put it together. :P The consistancy of the gel is really smooth and easy to apply. It really is an all in one, because its waterproof, smudge proof (after long time wear) and probably bullet proof. I wet my hand and tried scrubbing it off, even with a towel, and it wouldn't budge! Its pretty awsome!

  
                                                                         Would NOT come off...

The blush is also really nice. For me, it adds a subtle shade of pink to the cheeks and almost looks like im not wearing any blush...just a natural looking flushed cheek look. The packaging is also really cute. I love that its a  little puff. Its really easy to use and comes with a mirror on top of the cap. I love love loveee this product!




And that is all for today my friends. Time for sleep to happen since its 530 am :( I swear I'm some kind of vampire.. >.>

Goodnight moon, Good night stars, Good night readers!

QUICK SURVAY!! Would you buy stuff if i had a Blog Sale??
