I have always loved having long hair. But I have to admit, I wouldn’t mind having longer, fuller hair. I mean, who wouldn’t?! So, when Irresistible Me offered me a sample of their Silky Touch, clip-in hair extensions, I couldn’t resist! Three cheers for longer, fuller hair!

There are so many variations of natural colored hair. I was not quite cure if the extensions would match my hair when they arrived. Thankfully, they are a perfect match! It was as if they were made for my hair! Love! My perfect color match is color #4.

Since I was going to get extensions, I decided I might as well get the heavier weight, and a long length. I order the 20″ extensions in 200g. They are slightly longer then my natural hair, making them blend in well, without looking like obvious extensions.

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch extensions arrive in a small box. There is one extension kept separated from the rest so you can test it out against your hair color and make sure it is a good match. This makes the box easy to return if the color or length is incorrect. Fortunately, mine was a perfect match!

This is my natural hair, and no make-up look. OK, I am wearing lipstick-but that’s it! My hair length is fine, and my volume is OK, but sometimes a girl needs a little bit more va-va-voom in her hairstyle! Amiright?

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions arrive with different widths inside the box. There are one comb, two comb, three comb, and four comb widths. This comes in handy when you want to add volume in specific places. I used the four comb extension on the back of my head and two of the three comb extensions on the sides. I used the two and one comb extensions to fill in where my hair seemed to need a little bit more hair. I left one two comb extension, and one three comb extension, in the box. I felt like I had enough volume from the other pieces.

This is the end result! I like the length, and there is A LOT of volume. I’m not used to having so much hair on my head! haha.

In the photo above, I did not style the hair extensions. This is how they look naturally clipped in my hair. My normal look is fairly natural, so I like how the extensions look out of the box. That being said, for special events, and going out, they can easily be styled to look va-va-voom!

The Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions can easily be curled with a curling iron, straightened with a flat-iron, and set in place with styling products. Since they are made with real hair, they are as easy to style as your own hair. Love that!

If you are skeptical about slip-in extensions, don’t be! As long as they are clipped in underneath your own hair, no-one can see the clips. They look like part of your head. There is a lot of hair in the box, so you can wear some pieces, or wear them all; depending upon the event or your mood. Love!

I am excited to own a set of Irresistible Me Silky Touch hair extensions. They will come in handy for special events, going out, or anytime I feel like having a lot of hair!

Actually Organic Argan Oil review

My hair is constantly flying away! The only way to keep my hair from being too dry, and flying all over the place, is with Argan Oil. I have tried many different brands, but have not been 100% happy due to how the product smells, or its’ inability to perform.

When Actually Organic introduced me to their Argan Oil product, I was excited! The Actually Organic Argan Oil is 100% pure argan oil, no additives! This told me the product might actually work!

I was thrilled when I received my bottle of Actually Organic Argan Oil. Of course the first thing I did was try it! The oil was not greasy at all, and was easy to apply to my hair. Since the bottle has a spray, it is simple to apply evenly throughout hair. It was nice to not have any oil smeared on my hands, only my hair! Love that!

The one thing that took me by surprise was the smell! Normally argan oil products have some sort of smell; whether it is added fragrance or from the ingredients themselves. I tried really hard to find the smell of Actually Organic Argan Oil. I smelled my hair, the bottle, my hands; only to discover I could not smell it. That’s right! There is no scent AT ALL as far as my nose can tell. It is 100% odorless to me. I was shocked!

As someone who loves to wear perfume or scented lotion, I am always annoyed when my hair products have a fragrance which competes with my scent of the day. Actually Organic Argan oil has absolutely no smell to me, this means I can apply it liberally throughout my hair and not worry about it competing with my perfume. Love that!

The verdict: Actually Organic Argan Oil gave my hair the right amount of oil it needs to not be dry. It does not leave my hair greasy or dirty looking. My hair looks clean and smooth. Without a detectable scent, Actually Organic Argan Oil is easy to wear daily since it does not compete with my perfume of the day. Love that! I am rating it five out of five stars!

How fabulous did Gabrielle Union look at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this week! She wore a beautiful gown by Georgine, which is hot off the fall 2016 New York Fashion Week runway. She also kept her hair down in a flirty, undone bob. She looked amazing!

I love how she kept her jewelry simple, allowing the dress to shine. She looked fabulous! Her strappy black sandals were also perfect for the dress.

You can easily recreate her entire look, head to toe, at home! Her dress can be found at Georgine.com, and I found similar earrings and shoes online. Here is a similar pair of earrings which would look amazing with the dress. I also found two pairs of really cute shoes. This pair is under $200, and this pair is a fabulous designer splurge!

I also love that she kept her hair down, and simple in an undone bob. Smooth ‘N Shine has shared with us the steps to recreating Gabrielle Union’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party hairstyle at home!

Stay tuned! I will have Georgine’s entire fall 2016 collection from New York Fashion Week posted soon. Below you can find the hair products used on Gabreille Union’s hair, and my similar accessory picks. For more Georgine, please visit Georgine.com.
