[Sponsored Review] SoLolita Lavender with Blonde wig


Hello all!

I PROMISE I'll start posting more frequently. There's a lot of reviews that I need to catch up on, giveaways I need to prepare, etc but I'd also like your input! What other type of posts would you like to see? Like...more quizzes about me? Some advice stuff? Leave me a comment!

I also have reviews of TONS of Tony Moly stuff to review and wigs (All purchased by me. :P ).

Also, 100 followers! IT HAS BEEN REACHED! I'll be posting details about my 100 follower giveaway soon and would just like to let you all know that this one won't be a strictly blogger one. I'll be crossing it with facebook as well. It will be INTERNATIONAL this time and there will be two different prizes. 1 for general followers and 1 for my loyal followers! If you've been an active follower (comments, likes, etc) then, when you sign up, you'll not only be put in the raffle for the general prize but you'll also be put in the raffle for the better "loyalty" prize. Some may say it's a bribe but...whatever~ ;) It's not too late also! :D
There may or may not be cosmetics, lenses, eyelashes, and wigs involved~ <3

NOW, to the actual post!

I was recently sponsored by Sololita to review a wig and I just received it!
By just received it, meaning it actually only took like..1.5 weeks to get to me, haha.

Anyways~ JUMP for the rest of the post~






Sololita was so kind as to let me pick out the wig that I would be reviewing and I decided to try out a color that I've never worn before!

Lavender!
Or as they have it on the site Dreamful Purple with yellow
Well...I could also see it as a Lilac color...and I think both fit...
Anyways! The wig was mainly lavender but had strips of blonde throughout it.
I let them know the wig of my choice on the 13th of January and they replied on the 14th saying it would be shipped. I received it via UPS on the 24th! That's 9 days! (not including sundays because I think they're closed just like usps?)
Either way, that was FAST. I wasn't expecting it and was so surprised when I got it, haha.

The first thing I did was RIP IT OPEN! DUH! I love packages, haha.

Inside the bag was a wig cap.

 This is what's called a "net" wig cap for obvious reasons. These wig caps are always, imho, better then the normal stocking kind. They're a lot tighter and just seem to hold the hair better. I put it over my head to where it's all on my neck and then work the thick band around my hair line. The mesh I actually stretch upwards and all of my hair falls into place in it and evenly disperses over my head.



The wig actually surprised me a lot!
 The base wig is a pretty lavender color with thin blonde "highlights" but the pigtail attachments are totally different!

The pigtails are clamp/claw types which are super easy to work with. The color was mainly the same lavender color but it also had some light fushia mixed in! The pigtails definitely have more blonde in it as well. Overall it's a very pretty blend of colors.

Length wise, it's a long wig and reaches a bit lower then mid-back.

When the wig first arrived, the curls were tightly packed which I do like on some wigs, but I found myself liking a more brushed out curl looks for this wig. One of the things I noticed when brushing the wig out was that a small portion of the inside hair (the ones that meet the nape of your neck) at the ends were a bit frizzy and hard to brush out. It was only a small portion so very easily overlooked but the rest of the wig didn't tangle easily and was easy to brush out.





Now, because there's pigtails, you can wear the wig base alone, or........


IN PONYTAILS!!!!



Now I think I mentioned that the ponytail attachments had a lot of blonde in it right?
Well..there's a big layer of it right on the top so, in order to blend it, I lifted up the length of the base wig, twisted it up and used the claw to not only secure the pigtail in place but also the base wig hair. I then flattened out the base wig hair on top of the ponytails so that it would blend in better and be more voluptuous!



 All the hair in my hand is the base wig hair that I used to go over the ponytail hair to help blend it in.


Pros:
Nice quality~
 3 piece set at a decent price~
 SUPER cute
 Very Fluffy
Perfect for Lolita
Pretty color
FAST SHIPPING
 Extremely nice and helpful sellers
Cons:
That one patch of frizzy hair at the ends, though easily removed, is still a con.







 Thanks for reading! I do think that this color of wig may not be the most flattering for my skintone so I may add it to my giveaway!
