Review | HIClips

I recently got to try HIClips and I thought it would be fun to share my experience with you guys. :) Prepare yourself for some ridiculous photos lol...
The general idea is that these clips natural lift your roots. (Blow drying or air-drying)
I didn't feel like dragging the kids out of the house today - so I had enough time to sit around and let my hair air-dry. On the pamphlet that was inside the box it shows the model with the clips placed in her bangs. I could not get my hair to cooperate for this exact method. I've been parting my hair (aka it's been parting itself) in the middle, so I tried clipping the hair on either side. (See above photo)
After I removed the clips, I ended up with this hot mess lol. The clips achieved the voluminous look that they promised alright! I think these things have a lot of potential if you play around with them. Next time I may use a blow dryer and try placing them differently. (The pamphlet says to add hairspray for added hold) I think these could really help thin hair appear not so limp. (I may lend them to my mom for her to try) 
Voila! My bangs are looking super-duper-fly. For what "HIClips" are - I personally think the price is a little steep. (I'm a bit cheap lol) BUT if you are in desperate need of some volume, and you don't won't to put harsh products on your hair - then these clips are for you my friend.

Review | Eylure Naturalites (Natural Volume)

Behold! The second false lash review, as promised! :)

I mentioned in my last post that I was a little afraid of the "diy adhesive" lashes. This pair turned out to be surprisingly easy to apply! I actually applied them faster. (Go me!) They are a little lengthier than the Katy Perry ones, but still right up my alley.

As far as comfort goes, I probably prefer the first pair I wore. These weren't too bad though. As the day wore on, my eyes seemed to feel a little itchy. Maybe I have a slight allergy to the adhesive? Whatever, beauty is worth it. ;) I had lovely lashes all day and that is enough for me lol. In their defense, I did run around and get quite hot.
 It was a nice change for the glue to be included in the box, (allergies or not) so many brands do not include it. (Way to go Eylure!) I'm definitely hanging on to the lashes and the glue so I can use them a second time. I was worried that they might try to fall off at some point during the day, I didn't have any problems at all though. (Impressive) So this glue is some good stuff folks! 

What do you think? Do you prefer the Katy Perry or the Naturalites? I highly recommend both! A girl could definitely get use to having eyelashes that look this fabulous. I love walking around and batting my eyes like Marilyn. :P

I hope you enjoyed this little review. :) I'm actually blogging from North Carolina right now. My husband and I ended up bumming a ride with my cousin Stephen. (Just for the weekend) Please make sure you "Like" my facebook page (HERE) so you can keep up with all of my posts!
