Myluxury1st clip-in hair extension streak review!

Myluxury1st

20" long, 1" wide clip-in hair extension streak in purple
 
So hello there lovely people of the internet!
I'm here today with a review of a clip-in hair extension streak that I recently got sent from a company called Myluxury1st!
I received my hair extension relatively quick considering it was being shipped from the USA to France (it only took about 10 days if that!). It was well packaged in a padded envelope. The hair extension was packaged in a plastic bag with a sticky seal so it was air tight so nothing could get in or damage the product. It was also tied with a little ribbon so that the hair didn't get all tangled together. In the bag with the hair extension, you receive a little info leaflet (pictured above) with lots of useful information like how to care for your extension, price lists for extensions, a return policy and information about the company.
The lady who runs the company works on her own. She manufactures all of the products by herself. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her products and what she does which is excellent to see! She is very willing to help with any problems or questions you may have about your order which is very useful indeed! All of her hair extensions are handmade by her so you know that you will not just be receiving some mass-produced rubbish from china!


 
The hair extension itself is 100% real human hair. This means that you can do whatever you would do to your own hair with this extension. You can curl it, straighten it or, like I have in these photos, braid it overnight to give it a nice wave. But, of course, please take care of your extension as you would your normal hair as this will keep it in better condition for longer.
When washed, the extension has a natural wave to it which is the same as my natural hair. It flows nicely with the hair which helps in to blend in.

 
It is a lovely colour (I ordered the purple one but there are plenty more colours to choose from!). It doesn't look like "barbie hair", it just looks like you have dyed a streak in your hair.
 
The clip is very strudy and grips the hair well without tugging or feeling uncomfortable. On my hair, the clip is very easy to hide but I do have quite thick hair so I don't know how it would work on thinner hair.
 
All in all, I absolutely LOVE this clip-in hair streak! It's a great pop of colour to my hair wthout damaging it from colouring it that I can just remove whenever I feel like it. A great company and a great quality product that I would definitely recommend to anyone. The prices are very reasonable for the quality that you are receiving and the work that has gone into giving you such a great product.
 
 
Until the next time,
Tanya xoxo

Watch my YouTube video review of this product!
 
 
 
DISCLAIMER: Even though I was sent this product, I would never lie just to get "brownie points". This review is 100% my honest opinion. I would never give something a positive review if I didn't believe in what I was saying and I didn't actually like the product. I don't see the point in giving "false advertising" encouraging you guys to go and buy this product if I didn't actually think it was any good. So rest assured that this is MY truthful opinion.

Sweat-proof summer makeup!

Hello lovelies!

So, today I filmed another makeup tutorial for my YouTube channel (Tanyaskywalker) and I thought I'd share it here with you guys!


I kept the skin pretty basic. I applied some sun protection (Ambre Solaire) then followed that with the MUA matte primer to stop the makeup from slipping and sliding on those hot summer days and to minimise the size of my pores. Then,  i applied the tiniest ammount of the Bourjois 1,2,3 Perfect foundation to give me a bit of coverage and even out my skin tone. I then added a bit of Yves Rocher concealer to any blemishes that I had.
 
 

Again, I kept the eyes pretty simple. I applied some of the MUA eye primer and patted on Half Baked by Urban Decay all over the lid. I then followed up with that by adding Avon's Precision Glimmer in Bronze to the outer third and blending that up into the crease area. To give the eyes a bit more definition and a pop of colour, I smudged an Yves Rocher waterproof eye pencil in purple into the upper lashline. Then, after curling my lashes, I added a couple of coats of Maybelline's Waterproof The Rocket Volum' Express mascara.
To finish the look, to the lips I applied a Dior Addict lipgloss in Pretty Rose.

And there you go! Super quick and easy makeup that will last all day, even when you're hot and sweaty in this heat wave!

There will be more videos and tutorials coming up in my Summer Series on my YouTube channel so make sure you go and subscribe to watch out for those coming soon! :)

 
 
 
Until the next time,

A true angel ♥


As a lot of you may have already heard, the beautiful, inspiring young lady, Talia Joy Castellano earned her wings earlier this week.
I just wanted to make a quick post about this news as I am deeply saddened by her passing but after seeing the video posted by her sister, Mattia, I know for a fact that she will never be forgotten and all of her dreams will continue to become a reality.
I often watched her YouTube videos on her channel (taliajoy18) and she was always so upbeat and cheerful despite what she was going through and I found that truly inspirational. She was extremely talented and she was taken away from this earth far too soon. She raised awareness of childhood cancer but still continued to be strong and brave and produce amazing videos for all of her loyal subscribers: a true hero and role-model that will live on forever.
Rest in peace, Talia.

Sephora Nail Patch Art!

Hello beauties of the internet!

Today, I tried out something new with my nails that I've been wanting to try for a while: Sephora Nail Patch Art!
It's essentially an adhesive sticker that you put on your nail that acts like nail polish. They have fancy designs and are supposedly very quick and easy to apply and long-lasting!



 
I definitely agree in that they are very quick and easy to apply! They come with a set of simple, easy to follow instructions!
However, one negative about this product is that you actually only get 16 nail stickers which means you can really only do one set of nails before you have to buy a new pack...would it have been so difficult to give us 20 sitckers Sephora?
I don't know how long-lasting they really are yet as I've only had them on for a matter of hours but I will definitely keep you guys updated as I too am intrigued to see how long they stay looking good on the nails for!




 
 
 
Until the next time,
