Dolled Up Hair Revew FSP

I recently received this 18″ Dip Dye Deluxe Remy Weave Hair Extensions 140g by Dolled Up Hair, some weeks ago, and I finally got around to installing it last week. I wanted a bright new look, so I went for a jet black, golden sands and copper-red combination, and I got exactly what I wanted. Before I dive into the review, here is what Dolled Up Hair has to say about this hair extensions:

Get a more exotic and flamboyant look with Dolled Up’s Deluxe dip dye weave hair extensions.

Designed to be weaved/woven/braided or glued into your hair, they are shiny, soft and perfect to add length, thickness and luxuriousness to your hairstyle.

“Dip-dye” means they are multicoloured (not single-coloured), featuring either 2 or 3 colours so you can create vibrant colour combinations.

Made from 100% Remy (also known as “Remi”) real human Brazilian hair, they can be washed, curled, straightened and blow-dried.

Double-drawn means the weaves are thick to the ends, for a fuller, more natural look. Each weft has been hand-selected to ensure the cuticle has been kept intact, so they stay tangle-free for longer.

Weight is 140g.

Total width of the weft is 78 inches (almost 2 metres!), which can be cut into smaller strips for flexible application.

Hair Review

So I installed the weave, and had it curled with my good old bendy rollers, and here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. It is very thick; it added a lot of volume to my hair.
  2. There has been no shredding whatsoever with this hair.
  3. I found this weave so easy to comb through.
  4. It is soft and shiny, which is fab.
  5. I love the multi coloured design a lot. It is very unique; I have never seen anything like it. There are 7 “dip-dyed” colour combinations;

Jet Black / Golden Sands / Copper Red

Natural Black / Golden Sands / Copper Red

Natural Black / Dark Ash Blonde / Pink

Jet Black / Strawberry Blonde

Jet Black / Bright Red

Jet Black / Dark Red

Jet Black / Purple, so there should be a combination for every woman.

6. It is 100%, real human Brazilian hair, so it can be reused, washed, curled, straightened, dyed and blow-dried.

7. The weave is so versatile; they can be either woven, sewn, clipped-in or even glued into your hair.

CONS

  1. I received one pack to review, but I needed more than a pack, because I like my weaves full. I added a bit of my old Brazilian weave, to achieve the volume I wanted, so have that in mind. If you want yours as full, you will need to get at least 2 packs.
  2. A pack of the 18″ Dip Dye Deluxe Remy Weave Hair Extensions 140g currently goes for £100, some may find this pricey, but when it comes to hair extensions, quality is everything and I usually find I get what I pay for, so £100 for this is quite OK.

Overall, I recommend this hair extension to any woman looking for quality weaves, the multi-coloured hair is so vogue, great for the party season, and it looks amazing. Do you agree? What are your thoughts on this weave? Drop me a comment, let’s chat

Thanks for reading.

Product Review: FACE atelier Part 2

November 28, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 16 Comments

FACE atelier

Some days ago, I wrote a product review post for FACE atelier makeup products, and now I am bringing you a review of the rest of the samples I received. I am reviewing 4 products today, and they are:

  • Ultra Camouflage Duet Dark
  • Revenge Lipstick
  • Ultra Sheer Bronzer Cognac
  • Ultra Sheer Bronze

 

FACE atelier Ultra Camouflage Duet Dark

FACE atelier Concealer

 

Here is what FACE atelier had to say about this concealer:

Fabulously flexible, FACE atelier’s silicone-based Ultra Camouflage Duet virtually erases imperfections and those pesky dark circles that have taken up residence beneath your eyes. Each Ultra Camouflage Duet has two color-matched shades that work in perfect harmony with FACE atelier Ultra Foundation. Ultra Camouflage Duet provides long-wearing, buildable coverage. The silicone in the formula guarantees that it will not flake, dry or crack.

 

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

None.

Sorry, but I have nothing good to say about this particular product.

Makeup

 

CONS

  1. It tends to crease overtime.
  2. It looked ‘caked’ on me. This concealer is heavy and sticky.
  3. I found it too thick and dark. I am not a fan of its consistency at all.
  4. It was not long-lasting, in a couple of hours, I looked like I didn’t have a concealer on.
  5. It didn’t conceal my spots or blemishes. It kind of made it look worse off.

 

FACE atelier Ultra Sheer Bronzer Cognac

Bronzer

 

Here is what the brand has to say about this bronzer:

Ultra Bronzer represents the perfect marriage of performance and technology. They feature a sophisticated formulation that uses pure, micronized pigments surrounded by silicones, which create a cushion between the powder and the skin. Silky soft, Ultra Bronzer is the perfect complement to Ultra Foundation.

FACE atelier Cognac Blush

 

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. It gave my skin a nice healthy glow.
  2. It serves as a good base. Fab multi-tasking product.

 

CONS

  1. I found as liquid as the foundation I reviewed in the first part. I prefer my bronzers and foundation slightly thicker.

 

FACE atelier Revenge Lipstick

 

FACE atelier lipstick

 

Here is what the brand has to say about this lipstick:

Seal it with a kiss, using FACE atelier’s high performing lipsticks, available in matte, satin or frost finishes.   FACE atelier Lipsticks are extremely well-pigmented ensuring long-lasting results.  They are also hydrating and moisturizing due to the high content of emollients in the formula.

Here are my thoughts:

  1. I found it long-lasting. It stayed on for hours.
  2. I am a fan of matte lipsticks so this is right up my street.

 

CONS

  1. I am not sure about this blood-red shade.

 

FACE atelier Ultra Sheer Bronze

Ultra Sheer Blush

 

Hers is what FACE atelier has to say about this bronze:

Silicone-based Ultra Sheer is magic in a bottle.  Hydrating yet oil-free, add it to Ultra Foundation to subtly alter its hue, or use over Ultra Foundation to highlight. Use Ultra Sheer alone for a diaphanous finish that floats on your skin as it luminates.  It’s a blush – a bronzer -a highlighter.

Ultra Sheer. Simple to use. Simply miraculous. Moisture, heat and sebum resistant. 

 

FACE atelier Makeup

 

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. I achieved a natural highlighting effect using this bronze.
  2. My face had a warm, healthy glow.
  3. It can be used as a highlighter or a bronzer. Great multi-tasking product.

CONS

None.

The Ultra Sheer Bronze is my favourite product off all 4 products. I see myself buying it.

 

Overall, I strongly recommend the FACE atelier Ultra Loose Powder, Ultra Blush Mocha, Lip Glaze Shiraz, and the Ultra Sheer Bronze. As for the others, you would have to try them yourself and decide.

Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading and have a crazy weekend.
