Gothic Lolita Wigs/RockStar Wigs Review - Ombre Alexa Pink to White Fade

I got this wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs/RockStar Wigs, and I have to say, this wig is gorgeous. It is super soft, and I love how the pink fades to white. The wig is not very shiny, which surprised me because the stock photo on the website make it look super shiny. I'm also very glad that they came up with this style because originally, I was going to buy the same color scheme but from the rhapsody collection, and I was not looking forward to straightening all of that hair. This wig came with side swept bangs, which were cut into a fringe (like seen in the picture up top).

The hair is very long and has a medium thickness. I wish it was a little thicker, but that's only because I naturally have very thick hair and I'm not used to hair thinner than that of my own. This hair actually feels very feathery and light. I wish the color was slightly darker so it would compliment my skin more. My makeup makes my skin look darker, and when I have this wig on in combination, my face has this yellowy/orange tint, which looks awful. If I don't put on any concealer or foundation, it looks okay. I just need to buy those things in a lighter shade, which is almost impossible because I buy the lightest concealer and foundation in the brand I use already. It's frustrating. So, for those who have darker skin, I wouldn't recommend this wig. It looks best on those with very pale and whitish skin kind of like a porcelain doll. But really, there are no rules. This is just my opinion. You should do whatever you want, and if this wig makes you feel beautiful, who am I to stop you from buying and wearing it? I am just giving you a heads up, and my personal view of it. I'm not telling you want to do.

For the top of the wig, there a very slight skin top, but more so a point where all of the hair meets up. It only looks fake if you stare at it constantly. Honestly, if you are wearing this wig on public, I don't think someone will get close enough and/or at the same time stare at you obnoxiously to even notice or care. For me, I love wearing hats, especially beanies, so it's not a big deal. If you feel worried that people are going to notice, wear a hat, headband, hair clips, etc. You can even curl or make your wig wavy to give it a realistic texture to make it look less fake.

 

I also recommend using a beige/skin-toned wig cap while wearing this wig just in case the hair separates enough to where you can see underneath the hair. Though, I recommend that with all light-colored wigs. I haven't had that problem with this wig yet or any of Gothic Lolita/RockStar's wigs so far. It's just a precaution I always take.

 

Shipping was very fast. I got it two days after processing, which is awesome!

Outfit of the Day #2

 

Rhapsody in Rose Wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs/Rockstar Wigs/Dolluxe

Kimono Cardigan: Forever21

Crop Tank-top: Forever21

Shorts: Wetseal

Shoes: Deb

Elephant Necklace: Forever21

 Chinese Symbol Necklaces: Yak and Yeti Shop in Disney World's Animal Kingdom

Bracelets (except Buddha and braided ones): Deb

Headband: ????/Christmas gift

For this outfit I was going for a foreign, more so Japanese, look. I chose the kimono cardigan as the base and chose the other articles of clothing to match it, trying to keep a balance of dark blue and black. Nothing really inspired this look. I just thought those items went well together, so not very much effort went into this. Although, this outfit would definitely look better if I had something on my legs like over-the-knee socks, perhaps thin white ones. Not quite sure.

Rhapsody in Rose Wig Review

Stock Photo

When I first saw this wig online, I immediately fell in live with it. The main pink color wasn’t super dramatic, and the way that it fades into a lighter pink made this wig even more gorgeous. I just had to buy it. When I got this wig in the mail I was very surprised on how puffy and crazy the waves/curls were. When I put it on my head, my face was engulfed by all of the hair. It was crazy. The waviness was not like the stock picture, but when I quickly ran the flat iron through it, that’s when it started to calm down and look like the photo on the site. Not really a big deal. The bangs were exactly like the stock photo though. Since my face has a weird shape, it doesn’t look good with the side swept bangs, so I cut them straight across. That was my intention anyway. Eventually, I straightened the entire wig, which took an hour. No surprise there.

Did not alter hair. Had to pin some of it under to make it not so puffy and overwhelming.

Other than having super curly/wavy hair, the wig is pretty thick, soft, and airy. I feel like the hair is even softer after you straighten it, but it could just be me. You can’t see the wefts in the back, which is a good thing. And, on the inside of the weft, there are three pins that keep the wig in place (One in the front and two in the back). In addition, there are adjustable straps in the back. There is a small skintop at the top of the wig to make it look like your scalp is underneath it. Lastly, the hair of this wig isn’t shiny, which makes it seem more like natural hair.

As for shipping, I had to pre-order it since it was out of stock, but once it was in stock, it came within seven days. It would have come in three days, but the series of snow storms delayed the mail a few days, which is understanding. I wouldn’t want anyone getting hurt while trying to drive in eight inches of snow and an inch of ice.

I am rating this wig a 10/10 for its perfection. It is everything I hoped for. I just wish it was less than $64, but hey, it was worth every penny. I really want to get the burgundy one in rhapsody as well, but that won’t be for a very long time. I need a new job first. Blahhh….

Thanks for reading!

Wig in Wine Red Review

Under natural lighting

To start off, I bought this wig from Jayshow2012 on eBay. The hair was very soft, softer than my own hair, which was very impressive. The color is a natural-looking burgundy/wine red and is made up of a blend of different reds and black. I particularly like this hair style because of the waves since my natural hair has the same exact type of waves in it. This wig is also very similar to Gothic Lolita Wigs’ version of Rhapsody in burgundy. The only difference is that this wig here was  $10.88, and Gothic Lolita Wigs’ version is $64.00. For an almost $11 wig, it is super great quality. There is also a skintop to make the little part at the top look like your scalp. The only thing I do not like is that mesh cap that supports the wig is not very stretchy and seems a bit small for the amount of hair I am hiding. Another thing is the hair is a bit thin, so if you split your hair in half to bring it up to the front, you can see the wig cap and mesh underneath in the back. Shipping was free as well. I rate this wig 8/10. It’s not bad if you want a cheap but real looking wig. Honestly, you get what you pay for. GLW rhapsody in burgundy would probably be a hundred times better. If I had the money, I would definitely buy it from them.

Straight Black and Teal Split Wig Review

I got this wig from Gothic Lolita/Rockstar wigs, which has been renamed Dolluxe. The hair in this wig is long and soft, though, under bright light the hair does shine more than normal hair. It’s not really a big deal because you can put some baby powder on it to make it less shiny. The hair is super long and falls to my bellybutton (I’m 5’2”). Also, the hair is so thick that you can’t see the wig cap or netting. There are adjustable straps as well, so the wig doesn’t fall off your head. This wig does have a little skintop, which looks like your scalp, making the wig look like your real hair. The company was kind enough to include a wig cap, and was able to get it to me within a week. Overall, I give this wig a 8/10 because it was a tad on the expensive side and shiny.

It would seem this wig company discontinued this series for now. Perhaps they will make more in the future. I hope they do because I wanted the black and burgundy one as well.

Sweet Pink Long Curly Synthetic Wig Review

Sweet Pink Long Curly Synthetic Wig

This is one of my favorite wigs to wear, and I got it from milanoo.com. The product matches the stock photo perfectly, and I was so happy when I got it. The hair is soft and curly, which can be straightened with a flatiron on 180 degrees (but if I were you, I would start lower and build up towards that just in case). My wig came already styled with two low pigtails. The hair is thick enough to hide the cap underneath. It also has a slight part with a tiny skintop. I still like to wear hats with it because it looks less fake with one than without one. This wig does come with adjustable straps in the back, so it stays on your head. My favorite part about this wig is the color. The pink isn’t too dramatic since the hair is made up of a light brown and light pink blend.

I give this wig a 10/10. It’s the perfect color for my skin, it is not very expensive, and I’m overall in love with it.

2 Tone Sweet Brown/Blonde Straight Wig Review

For this wig, I was a little disappointed because the blonde isn’t quite as light as shown in HimeCastle’s stock picture. But, in all fairness, I haven’t gone out in bright light since it’s been pretty much snowing all week. The brown section of the wig is spot on though. The photo sort of looks like it’s a split wig with one half blonde and the other half brown. That is not the case, but of course I knew that from studying the photo closely. It is actually mostly blonde with a little brown section in the front and is the reason I ordered it. I’m not to keen on the two-toned split in the middle wigs, well in this colored style anyway.

The hair is really long, soft, thick and straight. I also noticed that each colored section has a blend of other colors. For example, the blonde section is made up of really light blonde, caramel, light brown, and strawberry blonde strands, giving the hair a caramel/strawberry blondish look. As for the brown section, it is made up of light brown, dark brown, and black strands. This hair looks very real, and doesn’t have that fake sheen to it. The hair is very long (for me because I’m 5’2”). It comes all the way down passed my bellybutton. The thickness hides the wig’s weft, which is great. Not to mention, there are adjustable straps so you can wear it comfortably without it falling off your head. As for the bangs, they were a bit long (passed my nose), so I cut them shorter, not really a big deal. The only thing I do not like it the top where the hair meets up. It was supposed to be a skintop, but there really wasn’t. There was just a place where the hair meets, which gave it a fake look to it. If you are a person who loves to wear hats and hair accessories like me, then it’s not quite a big deal, but since I paid $46.90 (not including shipping) it should have a skintop.

After my order was processed, I received the wig within 2-3 days. As a bonus, the company added nail art, which had a $6, for free, which was very nice. The package did include their business card as well. Overall, I give this product an 8.5 /10 because I wish it was the blonde was lighter and a skintop. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with it. I’d say they almost tie with Gothic Lolita Wigs. They are not quite there yet, but I will buy from them again considering I wear this wig the most.

Classic Milk Tea Mix Wig Review

 

Let me just start off by saying Gothic Lolita Wigs, now known as Dolluxe, is hands down the best wig company in the United States. They have great customer service along with great products. So, I ordered this wig Dec. 27 and got it Jan. 2. The packaging was in an envelope and was pretty secure. The wig was inside a plastic bag with a mesh net around it to keep the hair in place, which was secured even more with cardboard surrounding it. As a bonus, the wig came with a free nude-colored wig cap, which was nice.

At first, I was worried because blonde tones don’t usually go well with my skin tone, but this wig did, thank God. The wig itself was a little lighter than what the website’s pictured showed, which is what I wanted. The color looks natural and doesn’t give off that fake-looking shine a lot of cheap wigs do. It has long, thick, luscious curls that fall to my hips (I’m 5’2”). Since the hair is so thick, you can’t see the wig cap or any of the inside cap that has the hair sewn into it. The hair also feels like my natural hair, giving it that authentic look. The bangs actually came long like in the website’s photo, which I knew would happen, so I cut them and made the wig look even cuter. There are adjustable straps as well to make it fit comfortably on your head without it falling off. As a bonus, there are stick pins, two in the back and one in the front, that keep the wig stable and fastened to your head, so you don’t have to worry about it sliding off or anything.

GLW in classic milk tea

Over all, I am very satisfied with the product. 10/10. I will definitely be shopping there again, and I do recommend this place to everyone. I’m not going to lie, it is a little pricey; I paid $45 for this wig, but it was worth it. You can’t find a wig store better than this.
