Trying On The Clothes


 
My Review
 
I heard about this website from many YouTubers and watched quite a lot of reviews and hauls. I found that the clothing that was being shown were things that were my style, so I gave it a try and ordered a ton of stuff. In each of the reviews, the reviewers specifically stated that the sizing was a bit small, so I measured out my body to match it up to DressLink's clothing measurements, making it easier to figure out what size I am. I found that I tended to be between a Large to an X-Large, mostly because of my boobs and manly shoulders. I found that their measurements were spot on, and fit into everything I ordered. Thank God.
 
As for quality, the material was thin for each item except for the "Ladies Loose Long Sleeve Knit Pullover Cardigan Tops Sweater", "Unisex Pattern Printing Round Neck Loose Long Sleeve T-Shirt Thicking Hoodies", and the "Women's Warm Winter Knit Wool Hat Beanie Crochet Warm Pumpkin Ball Caps". Most of the blouses and dresses were shear, so it is important that you wear the correct undergarments. I did notice that there was a tiny stain on the white blouse and on one of the dresses. So. Not. Cool. Especially because it was on the white part of the material. To me, it looks like a marker point as if it was from them constructing the clothing and forgetting to clean it up. Also, on the white blouse, the buttons on the sleeve are just barely hanging on, so I definitely have to sew those on better. Lastly, some of the items had loose threads. Honestly, that didn't bother me because I just put an extra knot in it close to the material and cut off the excess strands.

 
The knitted hats are well made, soft, thick, and warm. Most of all, they are so adorable. The bow belts are good quality and are super stretchy, so they fit great. The material feels like chiffon too. The black and gray beanies are thin, but that is okay because I ordered them more for fashion than for winter. Another thing that I found to be crafted well was the snake earing. It is heavy duty but doesn't feel heavy on your ear. Something I found awesome where these tights I bought. They are blocked where this black section comes up over your knee, and beyond that, they are completely see-through, which make them look like over-the-knee socks. At the top of those there is a skyline. I did buy a second pair, but instead of getting the same pair, I got a pair with crosses on the side.Totally cool.
My favorite thing I purchased were the over-the-knee wedge boots. They are so cute and fit perfectly! At first, I was nervous about buying shoes on there because my feet are wide, my right foot is bigger than my left, and my calves are large and muscular, but I desperately needed those boots, so I caved and bought them in a size bigger. I am normally a size 7 and went up to a size 8. I am so glad I did. The material is nice and thick and is made out of artificial suede. They also seem to be insulated. I would definitely spray them with that stuff that makes them waterproof though just to be safe.
 
 

 
 
Shipping is expensive, but it has to be since it is coming from China. Depending on the type of shipping you get determines how long it is going to take and how expensive it is going to be. To be safe, I recommend getting shipping with a tracking number so you know where your things are, and if anything were to happen, like if your stuff gets lost, you can get reimbursed through that shipping carrier's insurance policy. 
 
From watching other videos on YouTube, the people that had something seriously wrong or damaged they were able to get their money back for that item. I am not returning anything because the little issues I have can be easily fixed. One thing that did happen to me was that after I bought my stuff I got an email saying that three of things I ordered were out of stock. They did refund me immediately, and I chose the option where I got the refund sent to the DL Wallet, so I can just take that amount off on my next purchase, which I did. In addition, when you first make your account, they give you a $50 coupon voucher where it takes off 15% your orders until the amount equals $50 off (at least that is how I understand it).
 
Overall, I find this website AMAZING!!! Sure, the quality on some of the items are iffy, but for what I paid, I don't really care. Like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." But, for the majority of my clothes, they are the same quality as clothes from Forever21 and WetSeal. The only difference is instead of paying $30 for a dress, you pay $4. The styles are great, and everything is super cheap. I will definitely be buying more stuff from them. Thanks DressLink!!!

G&G GBT Violet Contacts From PinkyParadise Review

Since I had a little extra money I bought G&G GBT violet contacts from Pinky Paradise. I really loved their G&G GBT sky contacts, so I decided to get the violet ones this time. On the website, they look like this:
GBT Violet Circle Lenses (Colored Contacts)
Our Price: $19.90
Diameter: 14.0mm/14.5mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.7mm/8.6mm
Life Span: 1 year disposal
What is Inside: One pair of lenses and one cutie animal lens case
 
I got the 14.0mm ones because I wanted them to match the diameter of my eyes perfectly. Anything larger usually irritates my eyes since I'm not used to bigger contacts.


COMFORT: Let me just start off by saying that these are the best contacts, next to the G&G GBT Sky contacts, that I have ever owned. They are so much more comfortable than the ones I get from my eye doctor. I have actually worn these for 7-8 hours some days, (I wouldn't exceed that with any kind of contacts) and it was like I didn't have anything in my eyes. I didn't get a headache like I do when I wear my normal contacts, which is great. I think I will actually just switch to these for my everyday contacts. 5/5

COLOR:I really like the color of these. These contacts are definitely purple, but when they mix together with my natural eyes color (greenish blue), they give my eyes a greyish blue hue in inside lighting, which looks really cool. Also, it is not a very drastic change from my normal eye color. 5/5

DESIGN: I really like how the design enhances the color without making them look like they belong to an alien. Not having them be completely opaque with clear spots make the contacts blend very well. I also like how the ring around the iris is not a solid line. It gives it a realistic look. And, the fact that the contacts aren't super big and fit over my eyes perfectly gives it a nice touch. 5/5



Overall, I give these contacts a rating of 5/5. They are perfect. I love wearing them, especially with my purple wig. They are comfy, and every time I go out or wear them to work, I get compliments. The best part about these contacts are they will last an entire year, not to mention Pinky Paradise sent me a free contacts case which was purple elephants to match my contacts. They made it easy for me to remember what contacts are in each case because since each case matches the colors of the contacts. I got to hand it to them; they are very awesome. Lastly, they did give me two little small gifts. One was a little packet of cream for dark circles under your eyes. The second gift was Velcro hair thingies that hold your hair back for when you are putting in contacts or putting on makeup.

Luxy Hair Extensions in 160g Dirty Blonde

About these extensions: According to the website, "It comes in a 10-piece set that is incredibly easy to apply and has been specially designed to cover your entire head. At 20 inches, these are some of the longest clip-in human hair extensions on the market! Simply layer each extension to create long flowing hair that is sure to get you noticed.

Luxy Clip-in Hair Extensions are produced with 100% Remy human hair. Remy hair is the highest quality human hair on the market. Unbelievably versatile – Luxy Clip-in Hair Extensions naturally blend with your own hair and can be styled with hot tools.

Luxy Hair is made with multi-tone adapt coloring system, which helps the extensions blend with your hair seamlessly even if your own hair shade is slightly different."

Total weight: 160 grams    |  Length: 20" inches
Total Pieces: 10
(1 x 8” weft | 1 x 7" weft | 2 x 6” weft | 2 x 4”wefts | 4 x 1” wefts)

"The lifespan of Luxy hair extensions is determined by how well they are taken care of. Usually, the lifespan of our hair extensions is 3 months to a year depending on how often they are worn and how well they are taken care of. Treat them well and they will last longer.

Care Tips:
  • Always brush your Luxy Hair Extensions gently with a soft bristle brush before and after use.
  • Luxy Hair should be washed every 10-20 wears or when there is too much build-up of products and they become unmanageable or difficult to style.
  • Wash in lukewarm water, then apply a small amount of shampoo. Rinse out the shampoo and apply a conditioner. Rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry.
  • Always use a heat-protecting spray when using hot tools such as flat irons and curling irons.
  • Store your Luxy Hair Extensions in a safe place away from jealous women who would be tempted to steal them."

My thoughts: When I ordered these extensions I was very unsure of the color to get because my hair was black, and I was going to bleach my hair to a darkish blonde color. The website of course has several videos, one of which shows all the colors and puts them against other colors to show the difference. I have to tell you that video is very useful. It helped me a lot while I was trying to determine what shade of blonde I wanted. The site is easy to navigate and there are many reviews with the addition of real life photos of people wearing the extensions in each shade/color.

So I ordered the dirty blonde in a 160g since my hair is a medium thickness. Plus, I had ordered the 160g set in chocolate brown two years ago, and it worked well thickness wise (sorry I didn't review those). Anyways, I ordered these extensions I got them in three to four weeks because they were on backorder, which was okay because the website made it very clear when they would ship. I'm not complaining at all. When I had ordered my brown ones, they came in about four days, so the shipping is reasonable when they have them in stock.

My extensions came neatly packed in a fancy red box. On the side of the
larger opening of the box, there is a seal that says, "Cannot Return or Exchange If Opened." That portion has all the hair except one piece. And below that, on the smaller opening portion of the box says, "Open Me First." This part contains a one-clip extension that you can take out to match to your actual hair. To me, this is genius because I noticed from other reviews that there are brands that won't
let you open any part of the extension container so you can match it to your hair, which is very frustrating. This box also contained to extra clips just incase your clips break or fall off.

The hair was super soft and silky. Prior to ordering these, I watched several YouTube reviews about these extensions because I was worried about the dryness that could occur since these were blonde extensions. Many reviewers on there stated that the blonde extensions felt dryer than the other colors. In my opinion, these weren't dry at all. I even washed them to take off that silicon coating they come with, and honestly, they felt exactly the same, so I don't know what those people were talking about. Is it possible they got a bad batch? Certainly. They also complained that when they straightened them some of the hair melted and black specks were left on their hot tools. The only time I straightened mine were after I washed them and had them sit out to dry. I only had two or three black specks on my straightener, but that could be because I didn't wash out the silicon coating well enough. The hair did not melt though. It is real human hair that can be dyed. Just don't forget to wash them well as soon as you get them to take of that silicon coating.

Since my hair was still black, I needed to give this hair to my hair stylist so she could mix the colors and bleach I needed to match these extensions. It took two efforts to get my hair to the blonde I wanted, which was expected. You can't go black to a blonde in one try obviously. As you can see in the picture my extensions are a tad darker than what my real hair is, but it's hardly noticeable. My stylist had a difficult time getting my hair to match my extensions because parts of my hair didn't want to bleach at all, so she had to use a higher volume developer. I think it turned out pretty good.

These extensions are super easy to put in, and if you are not sure, there are videos on the website that show you. One thing I did not like was how some of the thread on the bigger wefts came loose and just hang at the ends of it. For the amount I paid for these, that should not happen. That's the only thing that I did not like. As for shedding, I only had a few strands come out when I combed them while they were still wet, which is no big deal. The thickness towards the bottom is amazing. It doesn't tapper off and retains 85-90% of its thickness from the top to the bottom. According to the Luxy website, these extensions can last between 3 months to 1 year. My brown ones lasted 2 years even though handled them pretty roughly. I dyed them a bunch of times and washed them harshly by not following the websites directions at all. I straightened them and curled them so many times and without heat protectant spray. I do not recommend doing what I did. If you want them in great condition and to last a long time, follow the website's instructions.

Overall, I give these extensions a rating of 9.5 out of 10. They are gorgeous, long, thick, silky, and tangle very little. Thank You, Luxy!
