Janet Collection - 1st Lady - Full Lacefront Synthetic Wig REVIEW



Janet Collection
Full Lace
First Lady
1b

I like this for everyday. It has classic chic style.
It has about an inch of parting space in the front. The lace goes from ear to ear, There is also a bit of lace in the back should you elect to wear your hair in an up-do. It closely resembles the look of Relaxed African Textured Hair.



This is my first lacefront unit, so I have nothing with which to compare it.

Cutting the lace



Close view on Mannequin



This is made of kankelon fibers. It is soft. I would not recommend applying heat to this unit. It is not futura fiber. It has 2 adustable straps with hooks in the back. It has 2 temple combs and a small comb in the back. This wig is meant to be worn off of the face. It is limited edition. I purchased mine from a local beauty supply, but you can get it for less at Rockey Trading This unit is pretty hot. I don't know that I will be rocking her during the summer months.

I give this wig 4 out of 5 stars.
If you plan to save on shipping by purchasing from your local beauty supply, you need to be informed about the specfic wig for which you are looking, as
there are currently three different styles available. The labelling on the packaging is not clear, so it is difficult to know which one you are purchasing unless you have all of the details. Of course, there is a marked difference in the pricing on each unit as well as different styling on the models. This appears to be the only way to differentiate between the wigs.

This unit was a gift from my husband. Working on limited information, he got the incorrect one, but no hair goes to waste in my care.

There is this unit which I own.

Kankelon Fiber, Lace in front & back.

Then there is the unit
Ateya featured on YouTube Click Here to View . It is a WHOLE LACE Wig, with lace in front & back.
It is made of futura fiber, so you can apply heat to it.



Then there is

an Encore unit featured by PhillyJamzPoet on Click HERE to View YouTube. That unit is a blend of human hair and futura fibers with lace in front and back.

April Favorites

My skin went a little crazy after I fell off of my Clairsonic Mia routine.
I decided to give it a break. I didn't wear much makeup for the month of April.

Babyliss Pro Thermal Ionic Rollabout Dryer

I use this for conditioning hair treatments, roller sets and wraps. I love the fact that mine & my daugthers' hair can dry quickly without neck searing heat.

Mega Care Tea Tree Oil (Manufactured in Patterson NJ, by Sunflower Cosmetics)

Natural antibacterial oil with extra protection for your hair and body.

DIRECTIONS:
- Use for skin irritation and oily skin.
- Prevents itchy, dry scalp.
- Anti- dandruff and antifungal.
- Use as a massage oil or while in sauna.

INGREDIENTS:
Tea Tree Oil, Canola Oil, Sunflower Oil, Castr oil, Olive Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Jojoba Oil, Fragrance

HOW I USE IT
- My scalp tends to be super dry. This treatment helps me to exfoliate dead skin cells from my scalp. I use it as a pre-poo treatment before washing my hair.
My scalp absorbs it. My hair LOVES it!
- I also use this on my tween daughters' scalp after a shampoo.
It keeps them from suffering from itchy scalp and flakes.
- It has a pleasant scent that reminds me of my childhood.
- This is very affordable. I pick it up for $1.00 from a Mom & Pop dollar store in my area. I have seen it at local beauty supply stores for $1.99.

C.O. Bigelow® Mentha Cinnamint Lip Shine

"Our Cinnamon and Mint-infused lip balm provides a glossy high shine with a refreshing cooling sensation. Lips stay moist and protected while Cinnamon and Peppermint give breath long-lasting freshness.

Gives breath long-lasting freshness
Contains active levels of therapeutic apothecary ingredients
Contains no artificial colorants and not tested on animals
Developed by Bigelow Chemists
Best of Beauty
This CEW finalist for ™Lip Treatment Under $14™ (2007) is a shining example of how hardworking a lip gloss can be."

MY THOUGHTS
This is an oldie but a goodie! If you ever have scaly chapped lips, just using a little of this will help them to peel within minutes. The cinnamon oil has a plumping effect. Overall, this is my favorite conditioning lip treatment. I believe these are on sale right now at Bath & Body Works (Buy 2 Get 1 Free)

MAC Ripe Peach Blush Ombre



A powder blush featuring a shade wave of gentle ombre hues. Ultra-fine formula provides the cheeks with flawless, medium-buildable coverage and lightly pearled, natural-looking radiance. Limited edition.

MY THOUGHTS
Initially when I got this blush, I was surprized by the size. It is 9grams vs. a normal sized MAC blush at 6grams. I didn't think the lighter portion did anything for my complexion (MAC NC45). I had to play with it a few days before I decided that I loved it. I was not prepared for all of the "male attention" I received when I went outof doors wearing this blush. (I'm pretty sure that's a CON for me.)
I stacked paired it with L'Oreal Hip ENAMOURED cream blush as a base.
I used NARS Taj Mahal on the apples of my cheeks. The overall effect was that the blush imparted a youthful glow. LOVE THIS product!

New Born Free FREYA



- Synthetic Full Cap Wig
Special thanks to April (muffinismylovers) from YouTube for putting the spotlight on this wig. I call her my Niecy Nash wig. She doesn't tangle like some of my other synthetic pieces. She is not as heavy or dense. Manufacture/Wigsite Photo shows her worn with part in center. Like April, I prefer my part on the side. It means the eartabs are off kilter, but oh well. She only has adjustable straps, so I use bobby pins to make sure she's secure.
