Double V / Chevron ring elven style (£4.00)Available here!
Okay so after reading some of the reviews on here for Makeup Revolution lipsticks and velvet lip lacquers I decided I had to go on a cheeky little spree on their website! Well I say cheeky but considering how crazy-cheap it is I'm not feeling all that guilty about it.
Which from the swatches I've seen from other bloggers is a beautiful bright purple and looks a fairly good dupe for Lime Crime's Utopia Velvetine. For £3 it's worth a try at least.
This looks to be a rich burgundy red colour and in my mind bears strong semblance to my fave lippie (Revlon's super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry) which is a incredibly dark almost black red, which I feel compliments my pale almost bloody glow-in-the-dark looking skin and creates a pretty 'grunge' vibe. I'm hoping for big things from this product.
There are three incredible red shades. The first being 100% vamp which I actually feel like would be a pretty good dupe for the Revlon black cherry lipstick I was talking about earlier.
Rebel with cause (damn I love that name) seems like a pretty standard dark red but hey for a quid I aint complaining.
Black Heart is the darkest of the 3 and if I'm honest does look... VERY similar to 100% vamp if only a smidge darker? still looks fun to play with though and I'm wondering if I could use all three to create a bit of an ombre look? Only time will tell.
The sister lipstick to the 'Depravity' Velvet Lacquer I also purchased it's another vibrant purple, though from the swatches on the website it looks slightly more pastel than depravity which is fab!This is possibly the one I'm most excited to play with as I just dyed my hair black with a purple half fringe so I feel like this will look pretty cool.
So I'm aware shipping will probably take a while due to Christmas/ New Year but hopefully these beauties will be with me soon and I will be able to swatch them for you all and do a proper review. Thank you very much for reading.
Okay so this is probably my favourite ever hair colour, it is La Riché 's Directions dye in Turquoise. It's a great colour and imo looks even better once it's faded a bit and has a bit more of a green tone to it. I feel like this is the one to go for if you want mermaid hair.
This is the same Turquoise dye when it is very first dyed, as you can see it is much darker and pigmented.
I decided to go white here and had to bleach it and tone it with Directions white toner as well as washing it regularly with silver shampoo. While I adored this colour the constant bleaching and damage it was doing to my hair was too much so I decided to dive back into the colours.
The colour I have here is directions Lavender, I love this colour but in all honesty this is the only one I've ever found to fade really fast, if you want to keep the colour this bright for long this dye isn't for you, however it does fade to a pretty lilac colour.
after a few very lazy weeks I left that last colour to fade to this super-cute bubblegum blue! I don't even understand why my hair is stained this colour underneath as it should be purple but hey I dig it.
I went back to half and half , this time using Directions Turquoise and Violet. This is a very bright and vibrant combo and also fades to really pretty pastel colours.
Here I went for Turquoise and Spring Green (Both Directions again) I loved how funky this looked and actually kept this one quite a while.
Next I dyed it Ebony and Mandarin for Halloween, I wanted it to be those classic spooky colours. I must say I'm not a fan of Direction's ebony as it simply doesn't last long enough for me, though as a semi-permanent dye some would see this as a pro.
Next I moved on to Superdrug's own brand box black dye and Direction's Flame. Though it had faded considerably by the time I took this photo it initially comes out very pigmented and is a really pretty colour.
Annnnd finally this is my hair now (though I've since grown out the dodgy fringe :p) I am still using the same Superdrug black dye and am coupling it with my favourite Direction's Turquoise. I'm still deciding on my next colour but I'm hoping to get the money together to do rainbow hair.
I've been trying hard recently to buy clothes in colours other than black, which was the perfect excuse to buy this gorgeous top, it hasn't arrived yet but I'm so excited.
I am aware some people will think these are hideous, but hey what can I say I love tacky gaudy earrings, these arrived really fast so I've had chance to wear them already, they look great though I would have to say they aren't the most comfortable things in the world.
I couldn't believe when I won this on ebay for such a low price! it fits me perfectly, normally I don't like wearing more fitted pieces because I am very self concious about my stomach (I am a size 14 but more often than not I wear a 16 for a baggy fit.) but it actually looks rather nice on. I love the exposed shoulder detailing and it feels like it's very good quality.
Again I understand if this is a bit gaudy for some but I personally am a bit in love with it.
I won this auction on ebay, it is from china so I'm expecting a long wait yet until I receive it, I can't wait to wear this under a black/denim collared shirt.
Okay so these were a bit of an impulse buy, I have been wanting to buy some dreads to mix in with my natural hair for a long time but haven't got round to it/ had the balls to do it , so I was half toying with buying some yesterday, instead I decided I would buy these gorgeous beads and add them to braided sections of my hair to see how I like that. I am really excited to fiddle around with these.
So a long time ago now I made some simple nebula shirts from a tutorial I found online, I used bleach acryclic paints and thick paper templates that I designed and made myself. If anyone would like me to make a tutorial on these please say, because I enjoy making these and it's so easy so I'd love to help someone else make these.
