Hi All, thank you so much for stopping by! As I was reviewing this video after I uploaded to TH-cam, I realized the clip where I show the ear tuck I'm wearing Cardiff in Raw Sugar Blonde-R but inserted the clip in the Milkshake Blonde portion, I apologize about that. Also, I linked both referral links and non-referral links; the non-referral link is noted as such. xoxo Marlene
Hey Girl! Thank you! When I saw the stock, I really wasn't expecting it to be as lovely. I've already ordered it in two of the 3 new colors. Keep this one on your list. xoxo M
Thank you so much, Terry Sue! I agree Cardiff is really pretty and natural looking. LOL, yep, these are keepers and I have two more I ordered after I recorded this video. xoxo Marlene
Thank you Marlene! I love this new style! Another on my list. You look fantastic in either color! My cup of coffee was so much more enjoyable tuning into your review. Have a wonderful Sunday
Well i did it! I ordered it from Shirley's in the discontinued color Coolest Ash Brown! I researched your reviews on that color and being a brunette,,,, I am so grateful for your expertise..... what a great deal!!! I can't wait to get it! Thank you again!
I know! me too! I have Cardiff ordered in Buttered Toast and Triple Chocolate. Looking forward to these new colors too and thought Cardiff would be perfect since I already love the style. I'll show the new colors as soon as they arrive. xoxo Marlene
You're Welcome and thank you for stopping by! Yes, Raw Sugar is definitely a neutral leaning warm. I realized I didn't say it in my video during editing, but it was midnight and honestly didn't want to redo my makeup and rerecord. Thank you for mentioning it! xoxo Marlene
thanks for comparing those two blonde shades. I was planning to buy one. I did choose the milkshake blonde in Park Ave. It should be here tomorrow! Love your channel, Marlene!
I would definitely wear this one. Marlene, I’ve been wanting to see a review of Aberdeen, another of the newest Belle Tress styles. I’d love if you could do that one , too.
Hi Suzi, thank you for visiting! I have Aberdeen on order. The ETA for Aberdeen is 10/15. I'll have a review for it as soon as it arrives. xoxo Marlene
So glad you mentioned fit. It's not enough to hear that a wig might fit up to a 22.5" circumference head. The other measurements are just as important. My ear-to-ear is 13.5" and my forehead to nape is 13". That's in addition to my 22.5" circumference, and that's why I don't own a wig that I both truly like and can "truly" fit into. This wig probably wouldn't fit me, but I love the length. And I think you look great in both colors. Your olive skin makes the light blondes really pop. Thanks for another perfect review. 💕
Hi Beautiful! Thank you for stopping by! Hope all is well with you! Yes, the other two measurements are really important especially if the circumference falls in the average-large category. Thank you! I love Cardiff in both colors. Loved it so much, I ordered two more. xoxo Marlene
Thanks Marlene! Love this one! Wished I could go without bangs. I've ruined too many trying to cut a bang myself! Everyone seems to be able to not wear a full bang and look great...not me!❤❤
Hi Barbara, thank you for visiting. Calabasas is basically all one length and blunt cut; I think the shortest style similar to Calabasas would be Cardiff. xoxo Marlene
Hi Clara, all the styles from the Lux (Luxury) collection have 100% hand-tied cap, full mono top, and extended lace front. The styles from any of the City collection (named after cities) have a weft cap, mono part (most are left part but there are a few with center part), and extended lace fronts including the styles with bangs. Each collection (City, Lux, and Cafe) have their own color selection. Hope this helps. xoxo Marlene
Yes, Cardiff has the same cap as Malibu and Montecito. It'll fit exactly the same. In my experience, Belle Tress is pretty consistent with their fit and colors. xoxo Marlene
Hello my beautiful friend. This is my favorite BT as of today. I have it in raw sugar as youve seen. All 5 of my BT are in raw sugar. I tend to lean neutral to warm. Do you think i can pull of milkshake blonde? Id say im fair with some pink to my skin and green eyes.
Hey Beautiful!, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I've been crazy busy with all the new releases. I know you've ordered Milkshake; I'm looking forward to seeing it on you and hearing your thoughts! Yep, Cardiff is one of my favorites as well. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio my friend, absolutely no need to apologize at all. I hope you are able to slow down and relax. We appreciate all you do for us. What can we do for you?
Hi Marlene. I'd like your opinion. I have never bought/worn a wig. Now in my older years hair thinning to the point of being see through on the top and I am considering trying wigs. I live on the beach, it is windy here. Also I have a Jeep and that is a windy ride and I usually wear a hat. My natural hair has always been very fine. Do you think Cardiff is a good choice for my first wig experience? I really appreciate your opinion. Also, my eyebrows are very light. I am blonde/gray, very light. Do I need to match my eyebrows or get micro bladed? TY again! Have a beautiful day!
Hi Robin, thank you for visiting! While I love everything about Cardiff and would certainly recommend it as a first wig, I think that a regular synthetic style may fit your lifestyle and environment a bit better. Elite Mono by Ellen Wille is a similar style to this one, no permatease at all (you can easily wear a hat with it) and the density is very low. I showed it in my recent wig haul. As for matching your brows, this is pretty personal. If you think you'd feel more comfortable matching your brows, then go for it. My opinion on makeup, wigs, etc is that we should all wear whatever makes us feel confident and beautiful. We don't need to follow any rules. If you really want to get micro blade, make sure to seek someone that has a good reputation with this procedure. xoxo Marlene
Okay I'm a little confused but I haven't had coffee yet so that probably explains it... Is this wig the same that's in the city collection or is this the British collection which I think is new... I think
Hi Vickie, in Belle Tress, we have 3 collections: Cafe, Lux & City. Under the City Collection, there are collections named after cities in different countries or states: NY City, CA City, Spanish City, Italian City, and British City. Shirley has Belle Tress has them listed as the 3 collections as well as sub categories under City Collection. Other retailers may have them all under Belle Tress. Hope this all makes sense. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio thank you and after re-listening to your video... yes it took me three times.. I did hear you mentioned this was in the City Collection. Apparently this is going to be a many cups of coffee day. Again thank you for answering and have a great day.

The more I see of this new style, the more I like it. Thank you for the wonderful review M!
Hey Girl! Thank you! When I saw the stock, I really wasn't expecting it to be as lovely. I've already ordered it in two of the 3 new colors. Keep this one on your list. xoxo M
Thank you Marlene! This is such a pretty and natural looking style! I love both colors on you! I would decide to keep it too!
Thank you so much, Terry Sue! I agree Cardiff is really pretty and natural looking. LOL, yep, these are keepers and I have two more I ordered after I recorded this video. xoxo Marlene
Wonderful, love this one! Thanks so much for continuing to review these new styles Marlene!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by! xoxo Marlene
Hope all is good for you Marlene. I love the milkshake for myself.
Hi Mary Dawn, thank you all is well and hope the same with you! xoxo Marlene
Love both of these colors and the style of Cardiff. Thank you for another great review, Marlene! Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much, Deborah! I do love Cardiff. Have a great week! xoxo Marlene
Thank you Marlene! I love this new style! Another on my list. You look fantastic in either color! My cup of coffee was so much more enjoyable tuning into your review. Have a wonderful Sunday

what a great deal!!! I can't wait to get it! Thank you again!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do! I love Coolest Ash Brown. It's a beautiful brunette xoxo Marlene
Oh boy! Cardiff is gorgeous in both colors, and, of course, they are keepers!
Hi Jan, thank you so much for stopping by! I agree! this style is gorgeous and a keeper for sure! xoxo Marlene
I can't wait to see Buttered Toast R especially since I have one on order.
I know! me too! I have Cardiff ordered in Buttered Toast and Triple Chocolate. Looking forward to these new colors too and thought Cardiff would be perfect since I already love the style. I'll show the new colors as soon as they arrive. xoxo Marlene
Love it so much!. Hi Marlene, hope all is going well.
Thank you so much! All is well here and hope all is well with you too! xoxo Marlene
Thanks for the review. I like the Raw Sugar blonde because I look best in neutral leaning warm but not yellow.
You're Welcome and thank you for stopping by! Yes, Raw Sugar is definitely a neutral leaning warm. I realized I didn't say it in my video during editing, but it was midnight and honestly didn't want to redo my makeup and rerecord. Thank you for mentioning it! xoxo Marlene
Love the color, looks great on you!
Thank you so much, Connie! xoxo Marlene
thanks for comparing those two blonde shades. I was planning to buy one. I did choose the milkshake blonde in Park Ave. It should be here tomorrow! Love your channel, Marlene!
Thank you so much, Joyce! I'm so happy to know you enjoy my channel! I hope you love your Park Ave as much as i love mine! xoxo Marlene
I would definitely wear this one. Marlene, I’ve been wanting to see a review of Aberdeen, another of the newest Belle Tress styles. I’d love if you could do that one , too.

It’s beautiful!!
Thank you, Lovely Lady! I think so too! xoxo Marlene
That's a beautiful wig!

Hi Denise, thank you so much! Have you seen Tribeca from the BT New York City? It's a bit shorter than Cardiff but it has bangs. xoxo Marlene
I really like Cardiff…in Milkshake Blonde-R😍 That’s one of my favorite BT blondes🤗 This style looks very natural on you❤
It really is a beautiful style. Cardiff is another winner for me! xoxo Marlene
Do YOu think is similar to Calabasas? I know is shorter...
Hi Barbara, thank you for visiting. Calabasas is basically all one length and blunt cut; I think the shortest style similar to Calabasas would be Cardiff. xoxo Marlene
What is the difference between the Lux and the City collections? Lovely style thanks Marlene 🩷

The styles from any of the City collection (named after cities) have a weft cap, mono part (most are left part but there are a few with center part), and extended lace fronts including the styles with bangs.

How is this style different than Alicante and Park Ave? It’s good to know Milkshake Blonde is similar to RW Shaded Biscuit
Hi, Alicante is chin length and Park Ave is a bit shorter and layered; Park Ave is similar to Mellow from Estetica. xoxo Marlene
So pretty. Now, I want this one too!🤦♀️
Put this one on your wishlist, Tracy! I really think you'd love it. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio hello Markene. I have Genova in my cart. Do you think I'd like Cardiff better?
@@MarlenesWigChatStudioI bought it! Had to have it. 😂
I hope you love it as much as I do. I got two more😂 Looking forward to seeing yours!
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio lady, I need help. I've bought 6 BT wigs in the past 4 weeks and there are 3 more in my cart 😁😘
Does the nape hug the neck as it seems to do in Montecito and Malibu
Yes, Cardiff has the same cap as Malibu and Montecito. It'll fit exactly the same. In my experience, Belle Tress is pretty consistent with their fit and colors. xoxo Marlene
@@MarlenesWigChatStudio thank you, I meant does the nape hair wrap around your neck. I see that on Malibu and it happens a bit with my montecito. Xoxo
