I was playing around with some new makeup, and among my haul was OCC's Lip Tar in Tarred, which is supposed to be an opaque black. They're supposed to be mixed and I'm assuming it'd be more useful in that way, because it wasn't as thick as I'd hoped. I could get it perfect, but as soon as I moved or did anything it'd just show my lips under.
Even so, it's really nice to wear, even if it's not for long periods of time. A lipstick with a thicker consistency would probably suit my needs and tastes better. I'm also after a new foundation, the MAC studio finish powder I'm using is a bit too cakey for my skin, so I'm going to try something a bit lighter, maybe even a liquid so I can still use my MAC stuff to cover blemishes, because it's so damn layer-able that it does what my concealers should. I also need new brushes, I need to expand my collection to suit my expanding makeup collection.
It's always weird to see my hair with no colours in it. Which brings us to my next thing.
It looks a lot better when Icrimp it, I think, but that could be my love for strategically messy hair coming through. The extensions turned out really well, though I think I'll probably end up going for glue or tape next time, as the micro beads aren't very forgiving in choppy layers like mine. Give another four months I think, and they'd look a lot better. They also sit a lot differently to weft hair extensions, being that they're singular bits of hair, they tend to just stick to themselves if they're cut in layers. While this is actually really cool on my hair, because it looks all untidy and kind of trashy, which is how I like it, it's not easy to make it look sleek. I just think it'd be easier to hide wefts, and maybe even tapes.
I do love the colour though, the silver turned out a lot better than I expected. It certainly didn't stick to the extensions well, but I'm not so worried about that, once I have the dreads in it won't really matter.
I should get my dread supplies in the next week or two, and so I can get started on those. I'm hoping to have them in by the cup, I think that'd look nice if I can manage it. It certainly doesn't look hard but we'll see. The good thing about fibro is that sometimes I can just sit and watch youtube tutorials for hours and hours.
I don't know what's up with my blergh face, but I'm probably going to wear some black gloves with this, and maybe even a black lace skirt under it. It's at the dry cleaners now so I can't try, but I think it'd end up looking a lot more... me, I guess. This is so uncomplicated and normal for an event outfit, I need to go mad! I'm even thinking of black lipstick. YEAH. MAD. I'm going on inspiration from the collar and taking it a bit further into clown-ism. I probably won't be able to wear heels, I tried them on in this shoot and it just wrecked me, then and after, but that might just work out for the better with this outfit idea.
Anyway, so that's that for now. Not sure what colour I'll have my hair. The dreads I'm making around lilac, grey, and palest blonde, so I might mix them, at least at the front, and get a more vague colour going on, so I can do whatever to the front of my hair. Not sure, we'll see how they turn out. I also might teach mum or Chris how to braid them in so they can help me at the very back.
Thanks for reading guys! <3 My dog, Skip, says hi, he's sleeping in my room tonight. On my bed. Life is so hard for the little guy.
