Orchid Lace Front/Back (Janet Collection)
9:09 PM | Posted by

As promised here is the in depth review of ORCHID with pics!!!!
Well I do like the wig but she is rather difficult to curl. I don't know if I just didn't have the heat up high enough on my flat iron or what but the curl just fell right out. lol. I honestly just didn't have the patience to keep trying. The wig already comes slightly curled (like a wrap/doobie) which was enough for me! The next time I curl her I will be prepared and I will have to purchase a holding spray to keep the curls longer.
The above pictures are of the hair line. I think I did a pretty good job at making it look natural. No glue or tape...Just a few bobby pins on the sides.
Here is a back view of her....Sorry its not too good...I did have to take it myself. But she is easily bra strap length and I am 5'6"
Well again I do like the wig.......So go buy her!!! lol....

Megan Lace Front/Outfit Of The Day
In this picture I am wearing the tank and vest from my LB haul with some torrid denim leggings. I decided to throw on a belt since the vest doesn't close. I like the outfit because it's comfortable and easy but stylish! I am also wearing my Megan Lace front wig. I like Megan because she has nice soft loose curls in her.
Here are just some more up close pictures of Megan:
Again I got her from ClairHair.com. She didn't tangle very much. I did keep her on all day and she still looked the same by the end of the day. I'd say she is a keeper!
And here is a pic of me with Hilson on along with my Tee from Torrid and some skinny jeans from Old Navy...
This tee is so comfy...I'm going to eventually wear my nautral hair when I wear this tee again being since it has Hello Kitty with a cute afro. *giggles*
That's all for now....stay tuned for another wig review soon.

Torrid Black Tropical Birds Tube Romper
I had to come through and tell you all what I got!!!....Ok so...I know some people may have a thing about rompers especially on plus size divas but I don't care. I had to have it. The only thing I was hesitant on is the print. Being since it's black with a print I decided to go ahead and try it.
Black Tropical Birds Tube Romper
Torrid.com
Oringinally: $42.00
On Sale For: $22.00
I Paid: $18.81
I bought this from Torrid during a sale for $20 off rompers/dresses. I got an additional 15% off (5% diva status + 10% code) which took it down to the $18.81 plus with tax added of $2.08 and shipping was $7.95 for a total of $28.84. Because this was an internet exclusive I could not purchase from the store. I had to break down and pay for the shipping even though I only wanted one thing. :-(....I usually only order during the 50% off sale so the shipping price kind of bothered me....Guess Im just cheap that way. lol. I will def post pics of how I look in the romper. Stay tuned!

Torrid Haul
From previous post I ordered from Torrid but this completes the haul. I ordered:
I ordered this Black Knit Tube Jumper in a size 2. I got it during 50% off clearance sale so she was $19.99 with 15% (10% coupon code and 5% diva) off she came to $17.09.
I also ordered the Rasberry Lace-Front Cropped Cardigan:
I got that for $7.98 with 15% (10% coupon code 5% diva) off it was $6.82.
I purchased both of these items during the 50% off clearance over memorial day weekend. Plus I received 10% off with a coupon code and 5% off for diva status. Both of these items are a size 2. I will definately have to post pics with how I wear both of the items. Not sure if I will wear them together but I will def take a picture. With shipping of $7.95 and tax of $2.47 my order came to $34.33.
So with that said.... There are no other orders, except for the hair orders, that are to be exepected....For now...lol.
OUTRE SYNTHETIC LACE FRONT WIG BALLENCIA
I could not wait to even receive the rest of my wig order before I placed a new one. I saw soooo many good reviews on the Outre Ballencia wig that I just had to place my order for her....
This wig (according to clairhair.com) was originally $67.99 but is on sale for $27.99. Of course you know I received a discount so I only paid $19.59 + $3.28 for shipping for a total of $22.87!

Again I placed my order through ClairHair.com. Mainly because I was able to get the discount (lol) but she is available on the usually hair sites for a variety of prices. I ordered her in a 1B/30 (1st and 2nd color choice so this is what she will come in) She is a synthetic lace front as you can tell from the name. I think I am done with making wig purchases for a while. In the past week I have ordered a total of 4 wigs (3 lace/1 full cap wig for a total of $83.08 including shipping for 3 orders..great deal..yay) so I think I'm going to stop to it. At least until I'm able to test out these lace fronts to see if lace fronts are the ones for me! :-)

Hilson Wig in TFPU
So...I received one of my wigs yesterday but since I was at work I didn't get to try it on until today. At first I was rather disappointed because it did not have any combs and my head must be small because it doesn't stay on. In addition to that a track in the back started to slip out. GRRRRRR!!!!!..... The purple color is WAY darker than I thought it would be. You really can't tell its there at all unless I'm outside or the light is bright. I did buy some hair pins today so that the wig wont move while on my head. BTW, I did adjust the straps in the wig but that didn't stop the wig from moving. Once I fixed the track mishap and pinned the wig to my head, it was rather cute. Although I'm happy with the wig and I think its because it was cheap, I will not buy the wig again. I would recommend it as long as you can get a good deal on it. Here is me in the wig....
I tried to stunt a little. lol. I will rock her some more to see if I can fall in love with her. Stay tuned....

Wigs!!!!
I'm rather excited.....I ordered three wigs from clairhair.com
This one I ordered in the 1B/Purple. I really wanted to try something different. I have never had a short haired wig before. I have had short hair when I was relaxed. Now that I am natural my hair wont get as straight as a wig...Well I wont attempt to find out if it can as I don't want to have any heat damage. I did read the reviews on this wig and it seems like it will be a good first short wig for me. The pop of color will be exciting to try. For the price of $15.99 (minus a 20% discount taking the wig to 12.79..yay) I will give her a try. Because I placed two different orders, the shipping was charged $3.28 to this wig order bringing it to a total of $16.07. Great price for a cute doo!
The next two wigs are futura lace front/back wigs. For anyone that doesn't know futura means you are suppose to be able to curl or straighten the hair. These wigs will be my first time at trying a lace front wig. I got lucky that I was able to purchase two wigs that have lace in front and back. That way I can put the hair up into a high pony and you shouldn't be able to tell it's a wig. We shall see.....
The next wig I was not able to find too many reviews on but I really wanted to get a straight wig. It made it easy to chose her because she was made of futura fibers so I can add curls to her if I wanted. My first color choice for her is a 1B(off black) or a 1(jet black). On one of the sites I went to, it stated she will be approx 22" at her longest strand. A little swing action is in order! ;-)

FREETRESS EQUAL SYNTHETIC WIG HILSON
(Color:TFPU)
She sells for $15.99 (20% off brought her down to $12.79)The next two wigs are futura lace front/back wigs. For anyone that doesn't know futura means you are suppose to be able to curl or straighten the hair. These wigs will be my first time at trying a lace front wig. I got lucky that I was able to purchase two wigs that have lace in front and back. That way I can put the hair up into a high pony and you shouldn't be able to tell it's a wig. We shall see.....
The first wig has beautiful loose curls. I was able to find a great tutorial on her on you tube. I just had to get it! My first choise in is a 1B(off black) but she could come in a 2(dark brown).....I think...lol. Either way I will rock her hard!
SENSATIONNEL SYNTHETIC EMPRESS NATURAL LACE FRONT WIG MEGAN
I got her on sale for $27.99 (with 30% off I paid $19.59).....I do know how to shop!

JANET SYNTHETIC LACE FRONT WIG BLACK PEARL ORCHID
I got her on sale for $30.39 ( with 30% off she was $21.27)...yay for discounts!!!!!The last two wigs were in the same order so I only paid shipping of $3.28. With both wigs together plus shipping I paid a total of $44.14. This was an amazingly good price for two futura lace front/back wigs. All of these wigs were purchased during memorial weekend so the prices may have been lower than normal but there are other sites where you can check to see if you can beat the prices. Honestly speaking the Orchid wig was a couple of dollars cheaper on another site but they did not have a coupon code so in the end I would have paid more to purchase from them. I am happy with the price I paid and I can't wait to get them and do a review so stay tuned.
