Belle Tress CITY COLLECTION NEW STYLES! NEWPORT ~SANTA MONICA ~ MONTECITO | DAY 1

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hello my friends! Thank you so much for visiting! Let me know what you think of these 3 new styles from the City Collection! Also, please let me know what you think about this blonde on me. If you have one from the City Collection, let me know your thoughts! I hope to be back tomorrow with another 2 styles! xoxo Marlene PS after recording this video, I wore Santa Monica for the day. I added some TressAllure Wig Wax and that eliminated the flopping. Guess, I just needed to train the fibers. xoxo Marlene

You are rockin that blonde, LoveLoveLove It looks similar to shaded biscuit, what do you think

[@edgelordpepper]

The blonde looks fabulous on you! It’s a beautiful color.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thank you so much! I think Raw Sugar Blonde R has a tad bit more warmth to it than SS Biscuit. xoxo Marlene

Thank you! xoxo

They all looked beautiful Marlene & yes the blonde looked great on you♥️😇 I was always waiting for BT to come out w/more brunettes🤎 NOW we need petite caps too ...

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thank you so much, DW! I was so concerned about showing the blondes, but I kept reminding myself it doesn't matter what a wig looks like on me; showing you all the style and color is what's important. xoxo Marlene

Wow, I liked all three AND the colors!! And odd but never considered blonde but that is a blonde I think I could do!! And really loved the maple one ❤ Newport may be my fave! You looked beautiful in all three too and your nail polish is delightful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us, you do it so well and I think it is because you were a teacher. You still are to us ❤

Hi Gina! Thank you so much for stopping by and such a lovely compliment! I loved all three styles as well. I would never have considered this blonde had I known how blonde it was, but happy I received it. Thank you, this nail polish is called cat's eye. They're pretty unique. xoxo Marlene

Awesome review as always!! I purchased Chloe & Miu in Shaded Oat Milk Blonde. The density in this piece is amazing!! I started my wig journey Fall last year. I’ve had so much trial and error which has cost me almost $2K in wigs and supplies since I didn’t have the guidance needed. I say that to say this, your reviews are fabulous and have helped me tremendously. This Lux collection is worth EVERY penny. It feels fantastic! I won’t purchase anything else. Chloe falls beautifully. I’ve gotten so many compliments on her. I’ve been very insecure with wig wearing, but this collection has put that to an end for me!!

[@TeresaLacy-lx2vb]

This comment should’ve gone on your CHLOE review. 😂

[@LindaSiggs]

Wow Marlene, I thought the first one looked really great on you and reminded me of Esprit by Ellen Wille but when I saw you in the second, we’ll double wow, you looked beautiful. They were all lovely but the first two would be my dream. What a great time you have, such Fun trying on so many wigs. Xx

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Linda, thank you so much for stopping by and the lovely compliment. While some of these videos take time to record and edit, it is a lot of fun trying on the wigs and showing them. As long as my videos are helpful, I will continue showing them! xoxo Marlene

Greetings Marlene! Well my favorite is Montecido. I like the blonde on you, it has enough depth and different shades to enhance the look on you. Very pretty! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Jean, thank you so much for stopping by. I thought Montecito would be my least favorite, and I think it's my fave too. When I opened the box, I was terrified when I saw how blonde it is. LOL. I just kept reminding myself it's not about me, but I'll be keeping it. So many viewers have mentioned I can wear it. Much love, my friend! xoxo Marlene

Love the City Collection.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Thank you for visiting! I do too!!! xoxo Marlene

[@ClassySassyManes]

Well holy moly love love love. Thought I wanted Newport but that second one in the straight Bob blonde is just fabulous. I just got Estetica Mellow in chocolate smoke in which reminds me of Newport and I love that. I think I will need the second one now.

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

I know!!! I feel the same! I think they're all beautiful! The blonde bob is Montecito. It's absolutely beautiful! Oooh, I love Mellow. I saw it in the chocolate smoke, and loved it. You'll probably like the brunette I'm showing tomorrow. It's the darkest brunette in the City Collection. xoxo Marlene

Love all of these! Excited about the Velcro adjusters. Also, it looks like they widened the part line? I hope so. Now…. If they would make petite. Thanks so much for the great reviews!!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Lynn, thank you so much for stopping by! I know, right? I was so excited when I saw the wider part and the velcro... Girls can hope. I'd like some BT in petite as well since my two other measurements are petite average. I can wear BT, but I really have to cinch them in and wear a wig grip. xoxo Marlene

[@pennydilg8144]

Very interested in this new collection especially the coolest ash brown color. How does it compare to Jon Renau color 38?

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Penny, thank you so much for stopping by. While I no longer have 38 from Jon Renau, I can tell you the difference. 38 is a medium ashy brown just like the Coolest Ash Brown but 38 has 35% grey in the blend. Coolest Ash Brown has no gray at all but instead blended with a very pale dark ashy blonde or very light ashy brown. I asked some friends what they saw in the blend and the responses were mixed. It was a big discussion, but there's definitely no gray. We all did agree on that. xoxo Marlene

[@yvettedavis7078]

Finally an ash brown!

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

I know, right!!! I was so excited when I saw an ash brown! Happy Holidays! xoxo Marlene

[@meganb9773]

The blonde is beautiful on you. I need that color!!! I also like that they have added velcro adjusters now 😊

Hi Megan, thank you so much! It truly is a beautiful blonde! LOL, when I recorded this video, I pointed out the adjusters but didn't realize this is new to BT. After I recorded this video, I recorded the one going up tomorrow, and as I was showing the cap it suddenly hit me! xoxo Marlene

[@UESGrl21]

Great job as usual Marlene! Would love if you would do a video showing different mid length (15-19") wigs w/a salon blow out look (bend at the ends/swoopy layers as opposed to pin straight). I'm a bit fatigued of the curled look. Thank you!

Do you think Newport is lower density than BT califia? & can Newport be put in a clip? Thank you Marlene😘

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi DW, I think most of these are lower density than some I've had from the Cafe Collection. In my opinion, Newport is much lower density than Califia. If you are referring to a short pony in a clip, I think it may be too short. If you are asking about putting the side up in a clip, that won't be an issue. xoxo Marlene

[@DW...]

@@MarlenesWigChatStudio Thank you, I thought it did look like less hair. It's so cute. I was wondering if I could put it up off my neck with a claw clip. Definitely can't w/Califa.

[@kathyweissgerber7575]

Thank you Marlene for your review of these new Belle Tress Styles. Ive been wanting to see them and the new colors. Newport had my interest, but I was hoping for a longer nape than what Trend Alert had and it looks like it does. So cute! I have Calabalas and Malibu coming next week in raw sugar blonde and milkshade blonde. After your review on the blonde Im hoping it will be ok. No idea it was a warm blonde from the color swatch. Merry Christmas !

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Kathy, thank you so much for visiting! I didn't care for Trend Alert on me one bit, but I think Newport is really pretty and wearable. I'll be wearing it. When I had received Delight, this is what I was hoping it'd look like. I also like the new velcro adjuster on the City Collection. LOL, when I opened the box and saw that blonde, I nearly went into shock (I edited it out of the video). Like you, I wasn't expecting it to be so blonde and warm. You are going to love Calabasas. My review on Malibu will be up today and Calabasas tomorrow. I think Calabasas is my favorite so far out of the 6 I've tried. I have a few others on the way, and Milkshake is one of the colors. I'm looking forward to seeing these on you and hearing your thoughts. We'll compare notes! Merry Christmas! xoxo Marlene

[@choosehappymc4489]

Love the new styles and new warm brunettes. Do the styles have any permatease? I like some volume on top and a bit of permatease helps with that ?

Hi Marlene, wow, wow, wow, I just love them all but my preference is Montecino. Would you say that the raw sugar blond R color is comparable to the shaded biscuit?

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Gisele! Thank you for stopping by! LOL, I had the same reaction as you: Wow, wow, wow! I think that raw sugar blonde R is slightly warmer than SS Biscuit. I don't have SS Biscuit right now to compare the two colors, but as soon as it arrives, I'll do a comparison. xoxo Marlene

[@sharonmoore7303]

Hi Marlene, I love your videos and you're my fav reviewer! These new BT styles are fabulous. How does the BT Coolest Ash Brown compare to Estetica's Chocolate Smoke? I ordered Chocolate Smoke, and gasped at how pretty the color is, but it was much too dark for me. I am so fair and pink-toned that many colors described as cool or neutral look gold-ish and unflattering on me. I would love to find a brunette that works for me. I so much appreciate your descriptions and how you always mention whether a color is warm or cool or neutral.🥰

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Sharon, thank you so much for stopping by and your support. To me, Chocolate Smoke has a base that is off black. I found it very dark. Coolest Ash Brown, on the other hand, is much lighter with the base of an 8 (medium brown). The higher the number the lighter the color. I believe Chocolate Smoke is a 1 or 2 base; therefor 8 is a much lighter brunette. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene

Thank you for this review. I'm waiting on Newport in Oyster Grey, a safe color but your Raw Sugar Blonde R (yes! I'm getting into blondes for a non-grey lighter color) is gorgeous and yes, you look lovely in that color. You know, your hair isn't as grey as mine and my hair too used to be black, 1b black and I have emotional baggage around blonde too LOL But I think you're simply uncomfortable due to your thinking, your ideas about what "being a blonde" means because it certainly isn't that you aren't flattered by the color, the right color. I was expecting Mocha Maple Brown 6/27 to be similar to English Toffee which has the same color codes but apparently more of the 27. And thanks for the comparison between Coolest Ash Brown with RW Iced Cafe Latte, very helpful. Ok, I've chatted enough, always more to say LOL Take Care, Marlene, see you later 🥰

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Joan, thank you so much for visiting! I agree 100%. I must still think of myself as the young girl with 1B black hair. This blonde surprised me. Thank you for letting me know I can pull it off. Regarding the 6/27, I thought the same as you. This one is nowhere close to English Toffee. Talk to you soon, lovely lady! Looking forward to seeing your Newport in Oyster. xoxo Marlene

[@OriginalR69]

HI Marlene! In your opinion, what is the size difference between the Cafe, City and Luxe Collections? Is there much, if any? I understand that there can be some variation between styles within each collection, but I'd just like to know generally speaking, what the sizing is like on the two new collections. I have some cafe collection which I make work for me, but nothing from the new ones. Being petite sized, I need to know more information before I jump in and purchase, if at all. Many thanks Ronda 🙂

[@MarlenesWigChatStudio]

Hi Ronda, honestly, I don't think there much difference in sizing among, Cafe, City or Lux. I do feel the Lux (all hand-tied) don't have as much stretch as the hand-tied Cafe styles. The biggest difference I see with City and Lux is an improvement with the lace fronts and fibers. I don't find a difference with the sizing in the City (all weft caps). xoxo Marlene

Hi Lorymay, thank you for visiting! I've never cut bangs on a wig, but I don't see why you couldn't on Montecito. There is a long side swept, I would guess it lends itself to a bang.
