ItsAWig Swiss Lace Bridge Wig Review Video


Hey Guys! I was offered a chance to test this unit from Its A Wig new line. I chose this unit and was pleasantly surprised at the quick service I received, the color of the unit, and how pretty the curls were set. I usually am not a big fan of darker roots but this ombre effect is perfectly crafted and looks extremely natural. The unit isn't shiny, it doesn't smell funny, the length is perfect, and I must say I am getting use to this look. The part is easily 2-3 inches. No tweezing necessary. Very little concealer needed. The only downfall is the thin tracking in the back. Being short I worry about people seeing tracks.  I have worked with this unit and the hairs are starting to be trained to cover themselves and I have been getting amazing compliments on this unit each time I wear it out. Please comment below if you like this look and if you will be trying it for yourself. Remember to ask for this unit by name in your local beauty supply store. You can also go to http://www.Itsawig.com to view the other color options. Remember to thumbs up this video for more wig reviews and SUBSCRIBE. XOXO, Kiani

Brushes on a Budget Video


Hey Guys! Here are a few of  my favorite budget friendly brushes I use all the time.  I am often asked questions on building a brush collection and yep it can get pretty pricey. I say start with brushes that address your needs. If you use foundation, you need a foundation brush. If you want to try blush, a brush makes it easier to apply. And so on and so forth... As a side note there are no eye shadow brushes listed in this video but when I find my favorite budget friendly eye shadow brushes there will be a Part 2. But for now, I absolutely love my Sigma and MAC eye shadow brushes. Worth every penny!!! As always, remember to thumbs up this video and please, like, subscribe and share the video on all your social media. Thanks for all your support!!! XOXO, Kiani
