I liked how its all swirled together that's what made me want to try it. I love it! The make up goes on so smoothly and feels like you're going all day without anything on! It hydrates your face and i actually really like the smell of it. It goes on really smoothly and doesn't leave blotches.

My bellami hair extensions.!

I got my new extensions!!! I waited by my window to get them because i was so excited.. I ordered them Friday the 9th and got them Today the 12th so shipping was super super fast. I have only had them for one day but I'm already soooo impressed. I have seen a bunch of reviews saying they shed way bad especially right when you get them but that's not true they are not shedding at all! I got the bambina 160g 20" set. It comes with
4, 1 clip wefts
2, 2 clip wefts
2, 3 clip wefts
and
2, 4 clip wefts.

Each weft is double drawn which means the hair is the same thickness from root to tip. I love it because they look so much more natural being double drawn. The hair is super silky and soft and shiny and my hair blends in so great. I just wore these for 5 hours and i had been in the wind and they didn't get tangled at all i love it!!!
so far i recommend these bellami extensions 100% I am just amazed by the hair.  I will have an update in a couple months about how they are holding up.

How to take care of extensions

I have been reading sooo many comments on YouTube about people having terrible problems with their bellami extensions and saying only the gurus get the good pairs and everyone else gets defective sets. Maybe you're not taking care of them properly? I have seen many reviews of normal everyday people who LOVE their extensions. So let me share my knowledge on taking care of extensions.
Although the hair is human hair you still need to take precautions.
# uno Don't wash them everyday! They are not attached to a scalp therefore they don't get oily and gross from natural oils. Only was them maybe like once a month.
numero dos: Storage is key. If you just throw them anywhere they will get matted and tangled and will end up shedding because you will have to brush so hard to get the tangles out. A really good way to store extensions is with a pants hanger. get a little washcloth to put inside the hanger around the extensions for some extra protection where they will be being held by.
# 3. brush from the bottom up and never brush while wet. There is a brush that i have just found at Walgreen's that's called the tangle teaser and it is a very good brush for extensions. The hair is being held on by thread so you have to be gentle when you re brushing them
Follow these 3 SIMPLE care tips and your extensions will last sooo much longer i promise :)

THE COLOSSAL VOLUM EXPRESS

Boy do I have a mascara for you to try! I may even like it more than the butterfly. Its called the COLOSSAL VOLUM' EXPRESS. I love it! it doesn't clump up your eyelashes and its soft and make your eyelashes look so long! When i buy mascara i look for ones that are going to add length to my eyelashes because they are so short. It is from Maybelline. I very rarely shop the Maybelline line but my boyfriends sister gave it to me so i tried it because my butterfly from LO'real is gone. I really recommend this mascara to anyone because it is just amazing! 

Revlon Curl Magic Ceramic Styling Wand

Has anyone seen the Revlon curl magic wand? I saw it at walgreens and thought it looked like the weirdest hot tool out there. Although it may look weird, It makes beautiful curls! and the cool thing is its a 2 in 1 deal. You can wrap your hair around the balls or in between them... (dirty right?)

I personally wrap my hair in between, I like the outcome better. there are a couple different brands out there but i got the Revlon one because its pink and cute. This curling wand will make the best, and cutest curls you will ever see. I cannot wait to try them on my 20" Bellami hair extensions!!

this is my result wrapping my hair in between the balls.
Want beautiful curls like this? Then ditch your old curling iron and pick up the Revlon curl magic wand :)

how to bring your hair back to life!

My hair has taken some major damage over the years i have bleached and dyed it so many times and i have used a lot of heat and my hair has been dry and brittle and breaks off a ton. So i picked up some hydrating macadamia oil. Its just a conditioning mask that you leave on your hair for how much time you want and it works wonders! I left mine on for 10 minutes and my hair is soooo soft and shiny. It literally feels like years of damage has just been lifted from my hair. If you have dry damaged hair invest in this nifty product and you will not be disappointed.

bellami hair

I just have a quick blog for everyone. I just ordered bellami hair extensions. I ordered the bambina 160g 20" dark brown extensions. I am so excited to receive them. So the point of this blog was to let you know how amazing the customer service is i was astonished. I have been emailing back and forth with the company and they are so fast at replying. I sent my first email somewhat early in the morning and they replied back within the hour. I have been asking about the hair and they were so nice with the way they would reply. I felt like i was having a conversation with someone i knew personally that's how friendly they are. I emailed luxury for princess to ask about their hair and that was 3 days ago and i still haven't gotten a reply so whatever so much for them it's their loss. I just think customer service plays a big role in me making a decision about purchases so if you are looking into buying hair extensions i would go look bellami hair up. They also have bangs and styling tools!

Garnier Olia hair dye

I am a hair dye addict i swear. I dye my hair way more than i should. I just dyed my hair red and not all my hair took to the color and my extensions took the color way good so they didnt match my hair. So i decided i would dye my hair back to dark brown. I have had my eye on the olia hair dye. I saw it at walgreens for 10 dollars and if you spend 10 dollars you get 2000 points if you have a rewards card. So i bought 3 boxes so i could dye my hair and my 2 sets of extensions that i actually wear. Ive gotta say my hair is really dead and soooo dry. This hair dye is made with 60% oil blend so its supposed to be better for your hair and it is! my hair was really soft right after i washed them out and even before i washed my hair with a deep conditioner. My hair is still drying because i am letting it air dry but the ends are completely dry and the color is so rich and just perfect. The color i got is 4.0 dark brown and so far it is looking like a chocolate brown and i just love it. My only complaint is the shape of the bottle its wide and round so it is pretty difficult to hold on to but really thats the only thing i didnt like. If you are looking to dye your hair i would deffinetly recomend you try this brand out. They have many different colors.

sassy extensions update.

So i still have'nt had my extensions for to long but i did just dye them red. I must say they turned out to not be the best extensions. They are now very dry, brittle and frizzy. There is no shine at all. so i must say the Euronext extensions are the best extensions i have tried. I loved the sassy brand till they were dyed. I am starting to save up for some Bellami hair extensions. I have read sooo many amazing reviews on them. If you have ever used the bellami brand please contact me at nikaylapedersen0@gmail.com and let me know what you think of them. My new rating for the sassy extensions.... 2 out of 5 stars.

Butterfly mascara

Voluminous Butterfly Mascara

Price: Walmart 7.97
Walgreen's 8.99
Target 7.99













Boy oh Boy. This mascara is UH-MAZE-ING. My eyelashes are so short and so bleh but with this mascara my eyelashes look longer and fuller in seconds. The trick is in the brush. The top bristles are short and get longer at the bottom so your outside lashes are longer then your inside lashes. Trust me your eyes will just pop with this mascara. It even comes in waterproof for those of you who like the waterproof makeup. Take it from me when i say, you will not regret buying this mascara because it is simply perfect. :)

L'OREAL MAGIC NUDE LIQUID POWDER

L'Oreal liquid powder foundations

Price: Walmart 10.97
Walgreen's 12.49
Target 10.99












I absolutely love this face make up. It starts as liquid and when you apply it to your face it turns to a perfect powder finish. The foundation is so lightweight on your face and just looks so natural. There are many different colors to match any one's skin flawlessly. When I work in cosmetics at Walgreen's i always recommend this makeup to my customers because it is my favorite out of all the foundations i have tried and trust me, I have tried A LOT! Now although it is a little on the pricey side i say if you have the extra buck to spend you should invest in this product. I will be using this foundation till the day i find something better, which i haven't yet.

Hair skin and nails

HAIR,SKIN & NAILS

Price: Walmart 9.84
Walgreens 16.99 (buy one get one free)
Target 15.99

150 coated caplets

5000mcg of biotin














Does your hair seem like it has just stopped growing? That's the problem i have had until i bought these HAIR, SKIN & NAILS pills. They are fabulous! I got the extra strength because my hair is really hard to grow. I took them faithfully for about 3 weeks and then i started forgetting and probably only took them 4 times a week and my hair is still growing. in about a month and a half my hair has grown about an inch. As for my nails, I haven't really noticed a difference because my nails already grow extremely fast. I also don't notice anything different about my skin but maybe because i don't pay enough attention to that aspect. The pills don't really have that much of a taste so that's definitely a plus. I highly recommend these pills for anyone looking for a fast fix of hair growth, nail growth, or some healthier skin. :)

Suave Dry Shampoo!

Do your roots get dirty and greasy and you just don't have the time to wash your hair or you don't want to wash your hair because lets face it, hairstyles look better on second day hair (at least i think so) then you MUST try the Suave Dry Shampoo. I come in a yellow thin can and is applied to your hair with a spray applicator. Spray a little bit on your roots and rustle your hair with your fingers. I love this product and it is absolutely something i recommend investing in :)

price:
Walmart 2.88 for 5 oz
Target 2.74 for 5 oz

Hair Extensions!

I have been wearing hair extensions for about 4 years now.i have 4 sets. 2 sets are the Euronext hair from sally's beauty supply, one set from amazon and a set i just bought, the sassy brand also from sally's.

Euronext extensions
I have 14" and 18"

Pros: silky smooth, amazing quality, small comfortable clips that grip the hair good, and they don't tangle very easily.

Cons: thin hair, only a couple of lengths to choose from

grams: 80 without clips
lengths: 14" 18"
price: 14" 124.99
with card: 99.99
18" 139.99
with card 124.99
shedding: very minimal




I must say these extensions are great for a first time purchase. They are 100% real remy human hair which means you can curl them dye them . wash them and do pretty much everything you can do with your own hair.
i have had 14" for over a year now and they are still in great condition. However i hardly wore them and now i do not wear them anymore because the color doesn't match my hair and i have gotten longer ones. My 18" extensions i have had since September so for 9 months and they were perfect until i bleached them about 2 months ago so i could ombre dye them. They are still holding up as long as they are dry. When they are wet i cannot brush them or touch them because they are like rubber from the bleach. Keep in mind that extensions are dead hair because they are no longer attached to the scalp where hair receives nutrients and oils so handle with care! Wash them only when needed (couple times a month) brush them from the bottom to top (preferably with a wide toothed comb) and use low heat settings and these babies will last you a long time. I give these extensions  4 out of 5 stars. If they were thicker then i would deffinetly give them a 5.


Sassy brand from sally's
I have 18"

Pros: Extremely soft and silky, thick luxurious hair, cheap, many lengths to choose from.

Cons: have to sew on your own clips, THATS IT!

lengths: I don't even know! there are so many! I saw 8" and 22" and i got the 18"
price: 14.99-119.99
shedding: very very minimal








I have only had these extensions for 3 days so i would love to tell you everything about them but i havnt had them long enough to for sure know exactly how good or how bad they are. However I can tell you about the first couple days. Upon opening them i was estatic to get home and get the clips sewn on them. They are just outrageously soft and pretty darn thick for the price. It comes in a big long weft (5 ft.) I think. You must cut your own pieces and sew clips onto them. which i like because it gives you the freedom to make the pieces as big or as small as you want. I have worn them to work and to a soccer game. They don't tangle to bad. At the soccer game it was very VERY windy. I had waved them with my flat iron and they style with ease. I wore them straight while i was at work and they blend in very nicely and they flow so perfectly like it's your own natural hair! In about a month i will write and update on these sassy extensions and tell about how well they are holding up and whether or not they are worth the money. But as of right now i give them a 5 out of 5 stars!

amazon extentions
i bought 20" but they ended up being about 18"

Im just going to get right to the point instead of beating around the bush. These extensions are a complete waste of time money amd effort. I spent 30 dollars on them just becaise i wanted to see why HUMAN HAIR was so cheap. Ill tell you why. First of all i orderedthe 20" and the they took almost 3 months to get to myhouse. Upon opening they looked pretty good but then i put them next to my euronext 18" extensions and they are absolutely not 20". So then i put them in my hair and the color matched my hair pretty darn good and looked really good. I decided i wanted to curl them. This is how i realized they are absolutely NOT human hair. They do not style they just fall flat over and over again and right after you use heat the end just fry. They tangle and the clips are horible. The seller of these extensions are liars and are only thinking about money. Do not waste your money on these terrible terrible TERRIBLE extentions.


       Extensions give people the power to change up there look without the commitment of a hair cut. You can add length and volume in a matter of minutes. But before you run out and buy extensions, learn the facts. Research all the brands, the quality of the hair and how many grams you will personaly need. And remember cheap hair aint nice hair and nice hair aint cheap hair. :)
