Beyond the Zone Hair Dye Review

I recently decided that my hair needed... something. But I couldn't figure out what! My friend Melanie is a hairstylist, and is soooo talented! She cut my hair and then I decided to put pink in it. Harmless enough right?

WRONG.
I went to Sally's because I thought their products would be a little more professional than normal Hot Topic hair colors. I picked up "Beyond the Zone" Hair Dye in Bubble Head Pink. Now it's supposed to be this hot candy pink! ...My hair is almost fading to this strawberry orange color. I dyed it four days ago. :/

I hate this dye. I hate this dye. I hate this dye.
I have naturally dark hair, so I had to pre-lighten it with 30-vol Manic Panic lightener. It did the trick! Then it was time to apply the color. The formula is thick and not runny, which is a plus. The package says to leave the formula on for 20-25 minutes. I left it on for 30 just to make sure it would be super pink. It STILL sucked.

pre-haircut. The pink is faded and looks horrible.

Anyways, I am not going to rant about this one anymore. Just know that I will not be buying this brand EVER again and I really hope that you don't have the unfortunate event of trying it.

Sinful Colors "Adventure Island" Collection - Part Duex

Okay, so I couldn't help myself. I was so excited about yesterday's awesome nail polishes that I went to Rite-Aid today and picked up the other colors in the collection. I like some of them, but there's one that I legitimately dislike...

 

Sinful Colors "Adventure Island" Collection

Today on my way home from work, I stopped at Rite-Aid to pick up a few essentials. Walking by the oh-so-tempting makeup aisle, my little eyes spotted something too good to resist. The pastel, sorbet finishes of Sinful Colors' new "Adventure Island" line.

Yes, I do realize that it is a shameful rip-off of OPI's Pirates of the Caribbean collection. However, Sinful Colors has a nice little price tag of approximately $2 a bottle. WINNER! (<---yeah, that's me.)

Dear Readers...

I recently have had to go through some very difficult times, and I haven't been able to write as much as usual, My apologies, dearest lovelies. I'm still trying to get through each day the best I can, so no moping for me. This song has really picked my mood up, so I thought I would share it with you all.

What are your tips to cheer yourself up? Any tricks or things you like to do?

Super Awesome Series - Mystique

This is the first villain in our series, so I decided to do it and do it big! (Also, I am using the comic book villain for inspiration, not the character from the movie)

 

Mystique is a villain in the X-Men comics. Also known as Raven Darkholme, she founded the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. This girl has worked for the US and German governments, as well as the Freedom Fighters.

MAC Blactrack Liner Review

What MACcosmetics.com says:
"Ultra-smooth, Fluidline's gel formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on "foolproof" with a brush in an easy dip and stroke action. Long wearing. Smudge proof. Lines up in a rich array of colours and finishes. Brushes sold separately."

I recently ordered the MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack on my search for the perfect eye liner. I tried it this morning and wore it all day today while at work, and I have to say that I am very impressed so far. I have a problem with eyeliners smudging and melting all over my face. My eyelids are so oily, they eat measly little liners for brunch!

(This is just a precursory review. I plan on posting swatches and a full run down later.) But I have to say off the bat that this is the best liner that I may have tried. EVER. I feel that it is even better than the MAC Liquid Liner, which stays on like tattoo ink for hours. This morning at 7 AM I applied a cat eye with this liner and it is now 12:17 at night. It has not moved whatsoever.

Also, Bonnie has posted another superhero look, so go check it out! This time, it's Catwoman. :)

The "Super" Awesome Series!

Hi everyone! I have some exciting news!!
I and Bonnie Krupa over at Foxxy Fashions and Beauty will be creating a series of makeup looks! Every look in the series will be based on a hero or villain. There's a catch though! Every character also has to be a female. There are some strong females out there that need to be recognized!

To kick start the series, I chose Starfire. (Bonnie did Wonder Woman! Go check that out!)

Starfire is an alien from the planet Tarman, which was destroyed. Because of this, she came to Earth and used her abilities to be a superhero. Her real name is Koriand'r, which was her native title of princess on her home planet. Typical of her people, Starfire's skin is orange and her eyes are completely green.

Abilities:

-power of flight

-can learn any language through touching someone

-trained to be a warrior

-incredible strength

-can generate energy blasts ("starbolts") and shoot them from hands or eyes

Sounds pretty B.A. right? ;D Click through for more pictures!

I cut my hair off!

Yes, I did it. I cut all my hair off. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet though, because I have had hair to my lower back for most of my life. I feel kind of manly. :/

But today was my day off, and I had errands to run! This was a look that took maybe ten minutes tops to do. (And for those of you who have asked me on twitter, I do have a lip piercing. I switch out the labret a lot to match my outfits! Today's was a pink ball with black zebra stripes.)
