[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.

Coco-Fashion.com online fashion website!

Here in Canada, all fashion styles are acceptable and encouraged with our vast and diverse population. In Toronto for instance, you can find everything from Goth to traditional cultural wear, to preppy and so on. Sometimes it is just hard to come by the right items in town, or their too expensive, so thats when  I turn to online shops. One I recently stumbled onto was coco-fashion.com. They mainly sell korean based womens and mens fashions as well as accessories at discounted prices.

As you can all probably already tell, I draw most of my fashion choices and inspiration from mainly korean online stores and other street fashion websites. I love how koreans can mix things to look youthful but still sexy without going too extreme. With that said, they are also really good at mixing edgy or grungy pieces while still looking acceptable, something I've been trying to incorporate into my own wardrobe recently. What I usually do as a shoppaholic, is look through all sorts of fashion and style media, get different ideas and styling tips,and then pull it together with cheaper alternatives.

For instance this outfit here is one im in love with from the drama She is WOW.  It consists of a colourful moto jacket, white graphic tee and leather pants worn by the character Yoo Nam Hee.

(sorry for the terrible screen shot :/)

This is how I would put together a similar outfit using items from coco-fashion:

3/4 Sleeve Floral Print Blazer: 10.03

White Loose Deer Print Tee: 7.97

Black PU leather skinny pants: 12.73

For my body type, a longer style tailored jacket would work better with the skinny leather pants. also with the larger print on the white tshirt, the floral and black lapels help to balance it out. Also saving me a lot of money!I think all together this would make a really super cute look!

In this club scene, Yoo Nam Hee is wearing a really cute strapless red dress. While looking on the website I found one almost exactly the same! All that would be needed is a simple chunky necklace to finish off this classy look.

Red Lycra&Chiffon Gorgeous Tube Dress: 9.56

Another style i really like from the drama "She is WOW" is one of club looks. The white abstract dress and glittery bomber style jacket. This is how i would do it using more items from coco-fashion.

(again, another terrible screen cap.. but you get the gist) 

Red sequin short jacket: 10.67

White Fitted Minni Lady Dress: 10.51

 

Again, not exactly the same style, just a representation of the ideas and concepts behind the styling of the outfit. The fitted style and sexy cut outs near the neckline make a sleek and sophisticated club look. The sequined jacket also helps to bring a little street wear style into it and make the dress a little bit less serious.

The store itself also features top trends in fashion, and shows the best selection of their items that fit those trends. The site is very easy to navigate around on, so it helps make it shoppable and easier to find what your looking for out of their hundreds of styles.

A few more of my favourite items are:

Long purple maxi skirt: 9.56

Exotic patterned pants: 10.98

Blue elastic waist tunic: 9.08

Light blue globe skirt: 10.83

Black british style jean jacket: 13.05

Long sleeve bird blouse: 9.71

Blue double zipper bag: 14.79

Black zipper shoulder bag: 14.00

Take a look to see if you like anything on their site! They have a great selection and world wide shipping! What are some things your loving from Coco-fashion?

Wavy Hair with No Heat

Tonight I went out with some friends, just for a small hangout at a frozen yogurt place. I didn't want to get super dressed up, but I still wanted to look well put together. I figured I could do my hair nice, and decent makeup with some skinny jeans and a sweater, and everything turned out as I wanted! (For once...>.>)

 

I decided on a cute easy look for my hair, that required no heat, and took about 10 min to achieve. Its super simple, helps moisturise and protect your hair as well as looks good every time. So without further adieu, the look that I got:

What did I do to achieve this look you ask? Well its as simple as making 5 small buns on your head and spritzing them with leave in conditioner...Literally..that's it....(End of Post)...

No seriously though, The way to do this look is super simple. What I did was section my hair into 5 different parts around my head. Doing each section at a time, I took the strands and sprayed them with some of my leave in conditioner. I use a specific brand I get from my hairdresser by Revlon called, " Hydro Nutritive Conditioner, Equave 2 Phase. Well that was a mouth full...

This conditioner starts out white and dark blue, and you have to shake it before you spray it, and it turns to a pretty aqua colour. It helps detangle hair, mend split ends and damaged hair, as well as gives moisture and protection to the hair.. Needless to say, I love this conditioner!

After spraying the piece, I twist it (away from face if its a front strand, all others don't really matter) until its a tight coil.

This coil will naturally want to curl up into a tight bun, and I just go with the flow until its wrapped tightly. My hair will stay in place without using and elastic or pinning it, but its best to pin it just in case. Using an elastic will create creases in the wave and throw off the pattern.

I do this with the rest of the strands and end up looking like this...

It looks like I'm a star fish or something lol

Now we wait until the conditioner is soaked into the hair and dry. For me this takes about 10 - 15 min. Once dry all that's left to do is to unravel the hair like this!:

Once each bun is unravelled, run your fingers through each piece to separate the waves. Don't forget some hairspray to keep the shape! 

TADAAA!! All finished :) 

If you want tighter waves double the amount of buns around your head, the smaller the section, the tighter the wave. Also do not saturate the hair with leave in conditioner, just lightly spritz it. This would probably also work with water, but id say stick with the conditioner since water would dry your hair out further >.< 

So that's what I did today..Hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned for a shopping adventure..I feel the need for one of those coming on... As well, next week there will be a new nail tutorial/post :) still deciding between newspaper  print nails or something more fun... :)
