♡My Fantasy Hair Review 2015♡

Hi loves!

I wanted to come on here and write an updated review of all of my My Fantasy Hair extension sets! I wrote a review a couple years ago and I will have that linked here so you can check it out:
http://samyrae7.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-fantasy-hair-review.html

For me, everything I posted in that review still stands true to this day, but I wanted to give some updates on some older sets that I have, how my older sets have held up, some experiences I have had and so on!

You may or may not know, that I am now a promoter for MFH, however, have been purchasing from this company from I think 2012. I have tried so many other brands between then and now and have just been underwhelmed or just completely disappointed in other brands quality! I always go back to My Fantasy Hair!

So let's talk quality first:
-I cannot get over the quality of this hair! Sets that I have had since 2013 or even before, are still holding strong! Clips are still working great, no loose threads or falling apart wefts, and the hair is still in great condition! I do take VERY good care of my extensions so they do last me a long time! Some of my older sets I have cut but that's what makes these great! Once a set is at the end of its life, or isn't as manageable years after you first got them you can either cut them into a shorter style, or use them for up-dos and styles!
-All of my sets aside from one have either come in the color "jet black" or have been dyed black. They have taken the color very well and even my older sets have not had to be re-dyed from their first coloring, even after many washes.
-The hair is very soft when you first get it but remains soft as well! I find that it does plump up and get thicker when you wash it right out of the pack, which I always do. Most extensions come with a coating on the hair that makes them really smooth and straight; I like washing the hair before wearing it because it gives it more texture, a slight wave and it matches my hair better as well as making it into its full thickness.
-I love using the MFH hair care line on my extensions which you can find here:
http://www.myfantasyhair.com/product-category/hair-care/
-The hair also doesn't get matted, from my experience and that is with everyday wear. Now, because it is thick it will still tangle; tangling comes from having thick long hair, but I just keep a small brush in my handbag and don't have any issues with major tangling. I like my hair smooth though so I give it a brush maybe once while I'm out all day.

Here are some photos of some of my sets and how I wear them:

9pc  18inch Colossal Set in "jet black" custom cut (my newest set)

Older set of 14 inch "butterscotch" dyed black

And one of my oldest sets that I cut to thicken up my hair at its current length!




Next onto customer service:
-I can't express enough my LOVE for the MFH team and their customer service!!! I just love how quick they are in replying via email anytime I have a question or concern! I give them a double thumbs up, 5 stars, 100% : all of the above in their customer care! They respond right away, answer any questions, give tips and advice, and really help you out when you need it and I love that about the MFH team!

Options of hair:
-I'm not going to go through all of the options that MFH has now, but compared to 3 years ago they have SO MANY OPTIONS! They have an assorted number of lengths, thicknesses, colors and you even get to choose the ends of your hair now! This is a feature I really appreciate now compared to the first set I ever purchased. I love the "natural ends" selection compared to the "straight ends" which are a blunt cut. The natural ends just really eliminate me from having to texturize the ends of the hair myself, so it's a big plus in my book. 
-The color selection is amazing and for me the "jet black", which is one I always go back to, is the blackest of black! I have also tried the "butterscotch" and "strawberry blonde" both of which were still the same quality and both of them held dye really well.

Price Point:
-For the amount of hair you get (in grams), and the options of hair you can choose I feel that for the QUALITY of hair you get the prices are fair! There are other brands that charge the same amount if not more for hair, and they either aren't as thick or the quality is below amazing. 

I do have a discount code to share for 5% off your order: "samantha"
The code can be used on anything on the site!

Final Thoughts:
-I am so happy to be a part of the MFH team now and I am so glad I made my first purchase years ago! My love for hair extensions is immense, but these hair extensions are ones that I will remain loyal to because it is not only a brand I trust, but one that I know will never lack in quality ever! 
-Three or more years later and I am still in love with every set I have ever gotten! This is by far the best extension brand I have ever tried, and that is my honest opinion. The quality has me so hooked that I'm not sure I will ever try any other extensions!


I hope this updated review was helpful to you! I know that sometimes with reviews, a person can be ecstatic about the hair when it is first purchased but you don't know what happens after that. Given my timeline I hope that with years of experience with this hair you have a better idea of how great it is and won't hesitate to purchase if you were thinking about it. I absolutely love this hair and stand by it 100%! 

I hope if you try it out you love it too!

If you have any comments or questions feel free to leave me one or email me at:

and I will be more than happy to get back with you!

Thanks for reading loves!

♡Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara Review♡ Influenster Voxbox♡

Hi loves! 

I'm back with a review! I received the Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir mascara complimentary from Influenster to try and test out. I wanted to try it right away because it is a volumizing mascara that claims to have a velvet finish, and the brush and formula seemed really nice as well. 




Here are a couple photos of me wearing the mascara :





This mascara definitely gives me volume and some length as well! I didn't experience any flaking with this mascara, but it does get a little clumpy if you're not careful. It seems to have little fibers in the formula which help build volume, but they didn't seem to cause issues with flaking like I said. The only con I found was in the pictures you can see that my lashes aren't super curled. When I first applied the mascara they were holding a curl well, but this was about 2 hours after wear and my curl was falling. It still maintained some curve, but not as much as I like usually, which I get from a waterproof formula. 

Overall I love this mascara! It builds up super quick so if you're in a hurry to get your makeup done, this is a great go-to mascara! I think it builds enough that I can wear it on natural makeup days, because it gives enough lash to my look. 

4 out of 5 stars for me! Price is a bit high for mascara in which I can find similar at the drugstore that give me the same volume, but the mascara is amazing. Pricey, and doesn't hold the greatest curl for me, but the volume, length and drama I get outweigh those and I would purchase it! Love it and would recommend!

♡Loreal Feria Power Copper Review | Before & After♡

Hi loves!

I recently dyed my red hair (natural color, but dyed to my "natural" from black), to a brighter red. I wanted a more orange-based red rather than a red-red, so I decided on the Loreal Feria Power Copper C74.



I made sure to take several after pics with and without flash and in different lighting so you can see the color it pulls. I initially wanted to use henna on my hair but haven't fully decided whether I want to or not. This gave me a bright color and I am overall impressed with it, but we will see how long it lasts. I did get a semi-permanent dye from Ion (the Ion Color Brilliance Neon Brights in Blood Orange) to mix with conditioner to use as a "color deposit" for when it starts to fade. My hair has been previously bleached, so it doesn't want to hold onto color all that well, so I figured a semi-permanent for touch-ups might help!

Here are the before and afters of my hair. The "natural" color was a medium auburn that had faded over about 2 months, which is basically my natural grow in color, just for reference. Keep in mind all monitors are different as well. No filters were used on these, just camera flash and without flash. 


BEFORE





AFTER







I hope this helps you out! I will post again on my final thoughts, how I maintain the color and so on! Let me know if you have any questions!

♡My Fantasy Hair Extensions: Strawberry Blonde + NEW MFH Hair Care Line♡

Hi loves!

I wanted to share with you my new set of extensions from My Fantasy Hair before I cut and color them, as well as their new line of shampoo and conditioner!

I got the 16 inch set of extensions in "strawberry blonde" 160 grams.

Keep in mind, that colors may vary on screen but I didn't add any filters to the pictures so you could see the true color. The strawberry blonde has a slight strawberry hue, so if you want more saturation you can color them.

You can also use the coupon code "samantha" for some money off your order! 





They are quite similar to the MFH "butterscotch" shade, which I have had in the past.
Other than that, great quality as usual and I am excited to cut and color these new extensions so I can wear them! 

As for the shampoo and conditioner: I haven't tried these out yet but am excited to and will keep you posted! They smell really nice, kind of like a soft vanilla lavender scent, and the packaging is sleek. I also love that they are cruelty free and sulfate free! You can use them for your extensions or for your own hair!

So be sure to check out the My Fantasy Hair website to see their colors and check out their new hair care! I love these extensions and highly recommend them!

If you have any comments or questions leave them and I will get back to you! Thanks loves! =)

♡YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks | #YSLRougePurCouture : YSL Voxbox♡

I want to share with you all these GORGEOUS YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks I got complimentary from Influenster! I got the shades 9 (mauve nude) and 19 (hot pink) and they are so pretty! The nude is perfect for fall, and the hot pink can be a great pop of color anytime! 

I tried them out as soon as I was done with my photoshoot (lol). They are so buttery smooth and creamy, and very pigmented; definitely comfortable on the lips! I would highly recommend these no doubt about it! I am going to check out the other colors and might possibly purchase one myself because I am really impressed! My first YSL lip products. =)




I hope this helps out if you are thinking of purchasing these new lippies! The packaging is gorgeous and definitely luxury, and so are the lipsticks! You can find great affordable lipsticks of course, but if you want to splurge on some high end ones I would recommend these. 

xoxo

♡Turn a Pixie Cut into A Long Bob with extensions! ft. My Fantasy Hair♡

Hi Loves! I'm back with another hair post!

If you've been following me a for a long time, or even just for a while you would know that I love hair extensions, and always wear them. Back in May I decided to do a super short pixie but since it has grown out a bit! I also have been wearing my My Fantasy Hair extensions now that it has grown enough to hide the tracks. (They were previously 14 inches long).

However, my set is a little old, about 3 years (still super soft!) but it was time to trim them. Instead of just giving a small trim I decided to turn my hair into a long bob which has been trending for a while now!


Since I have a pixie and would love to just have a "lob" RIGHT NOW, I thought it would be fun to give my extensions a cut and wear them short! Perfect change for my shorter hair until it grows and I need a longer set. =)

Here is my before and after of my now pixie cut, with my extensions chopped! 



My extensions were previously the "butterscotch" blonde color, which I dyed an auburn, and also 14 inches which I cut to about 12 inches. My Fantasy Hair has a great selection of lengths though and they offer a 12 inch set so if you are looking for extensions and have short hair, 12 inches would be great to follow this trend! 

So be sure to check out the My Fantasy Hair website to see their lengths and colors, and take on this trend, even if you have super short hair! I am loving the long bob and I think I'll be keeping it for a while!
