Its A Wig Half Wig Fame

 

This unit was purchased from MiMiBeautyLine.com
I order my unit in the color #1. This wig is around 10-14" long, loose natural curl/wave with layers framing the face.
This unit is ver soft and mimics natural and relaxed african american hair.
This is one of those units where the frizzier it gets the better it looks. So it seems to last much longer than most units because it begins to look more and more natural with each day.
I wore this unit RELIGIOUSLY (lol) and I still wear as if I just purchased it. Because I wear it so much, I never feel like storing it in a safe place or taking the best care of it. That pretty much means, It last for a long time for the price of the unit!

PROS: Last for a LONG time, natural looking, nice length, resembles natural hair, easy to blend with relaxed or natural hair, nice style, decent fit, comfortable combs.

CONS: A "tad" bit on the shinier side (simular to Sensationnel wigs), tangles, mattes, sheds, frizzes up quickly, can start looking boxy after a while.

Rating: 8.5

Will I purchase again: Yes, I would most definitely!

SUN Laboratories Body Polisher and Bath and Body Gift Set


This product was provided to us to review from Sun Laboratories This is Sun Laboratories Body Polisher and Bath and Body Gift Set. In this kit is the Body Polisher, Small and Large Face and Body Brush, Face buffer and Pumice stone.
This product is great for those looking to remove a self tanner, smooth out you skin, get rid of dry skin cells and create a bright skin surface! I love this product because it is multipurpose! This is also a comparable dupe to the ever so popular Clarisonic Exfoliating Device. However, you wont be paying $200+ for this. Greta alternative for those looking to save money.

PROS: Multi purpose, deep cleaning, leaves skin feeling very clean, removes toxins and impurities, helps with blemish and black head removal, comparable to other expensive exfoliants, works in water, strong, great value.

CONS: A bit on the heavy side, difficult to remove batteries, can cause minor break outs.
