New Hair - Pink and Red

Hello darlings! So sorry for the lack of blogging lately, haha that is if you've been missing me even. I took a break over the summer months to concentrate on summer school. Now that I'm back in the groove for Fall semester classes, I'm making a promise to you and myself to blog about once a week.

Now to the part you really care about, pics right?

I used Ion Color from Sally Beauty for both the red and pink. For the red I used a demi color mixed with 20 volume developer instead of 10 volume for more vibrant color and deeper penetration of my hair follicle (which should mean longer lasting). The color I used is called Light Burgundy Blonde and looks like a cherry red to me.

For the pink I used Ion Color brights. This is a semi permanent dye, so no mixing was required. The color I used was Magenta. It starts off very bright, but fades to a lovely light pastel pink. I feel like I get to enjoy the best of both worlds (light and bright) with this!

Ion is great for alternative colors and is available over the counter, aka no license required. Also, I feel this brand lasts much better than manic panic and the like. Plus, so many colors are available! :D

What I used is $5 at Sally Beauty stores and is comparable to professional line of dyes like Pravana's ChromaSilk Vivids.

Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids is $8 to $10 (that's $3 to $5 more expensive than Ion). Furthermore, you need a license to purchase this stuff in a store. Psssh... screw that right? Sallys Beauty Supply!!

Anyway, here was the image that inspired me from EGG Magazine. ^_^

Stay lovely my dears!

My Favorite DECO phone apps - Part 2 SNAPEEE

Here is a mini review and example of my second choice of a really good, and free, puri app for android and iphone.

# 2 - DecoPic on android and iphone

This is a kawaii photo deco app that you can take pics with, deco, and then upload to various sites like twitter and facebook.

Pros!
Snapeee has frames, stamps, pen function, text function, and lots of cute stuff to add! It posts to social media sites well, and saves your photos on your phone for you for access later. :) Its free, and there is a mini community within the app itself! You can browse other users photos and follow them. Its a lot of fun!

Cons!
It has lots of options, but not as much as other photo editing apps. The options are well rounded, so it works well for me. I could see someone who posts several photos a day getting bored maybe? They come out with new stuff occasionally though. Also, you can't share directly with your own contacts straight from the app. :(

Here are a couple of pics I played with and uploaded to G+

My favorite part about this app is being able to follow other users and seeing what they post. ^_^ I hope this review was helpful, and remember that this is a free app! :D

My Favorite DECO phone apps - Part 1 DECOPIC

I wish I could make it to the PuriKura machine at Planet Zero more often! I love getting friends together for this. ^_^

Since its on the other side of Houston, and costs about $3 per sheet (I think), using an app is a great option! You won't have stickers in person :( but you can share with more people :) via twitter, facebook, etc.

Here is a mini review and example of two really good, and free, puri apps for android and iphone.

#1 - DecoPic on android and iphone

This is a cute photo decorating app that you can snap pics with, decorate, and then upload to social media sites.
The more pics you take, deco, and upload - the more features become available.

Pros!
Deco pic has frames, stamps, pen function, text function, and lots of cute stuff to add! It posts to social media sites well, and saves your photos on your phone for you for access later. :)

Cons!
It has lots of options, but you have to use the app more and more to unlock everything. Hahaha, I kind of just want it all now! Also, you can't share directly to a friend. :(

These are a couple of pics I've played with and uploaded to twitter (@fatandsassy).

#2 Snapeee - will be my next post!

Its lots of fun, and you can get pretty cute results from this app! I know Bloomzy uses this app, does anyone else?

Sweets Deco - Whipple Review

I found a really fun sweets deco set at ToysRUs a long while back, and I finally got around to playing with it. :) Here is my review of Whipple!

The box comes with stuff for you to already decorate - cakes, fruit, beads and whatnot. The fake whipped cream comes in a resealable pastry style bag. Here is what I have played with so far.


I really like this macaroon as its a charm as well! :)


I took it a step further and decorated a clear cell phone case and embedded goodies straight into the whipped cream. Hahaha... my man says it looks like I'm talking to a piece of cake!


Think of the possibilities! :) You can deco the tops of containers, like eyeshadow, hair clips, headphones, pocket mirrors, just about anything!

More Nail Deco

I cannot rave enough about the Sinful Colors nail polish line! This stuff is fabulous, and very inexpensive (only $2 a bottle at Target)!

Here is my most recent change. I put down a black base coat, and then topped it off with a couple of coats of "Nail Junkie" from the Sinful Colors line. Here is a pic of the polish bottle. So sparkly! How can you resist?!



While the polish is still tacky, I put on my top coat. Then immediately, add your jewels. I chose to alternate between small and large, and light blue and dark teal. Here is the finished results!




I wore these nails with a black and white outfit accented by teal tights. (see my birthday outfit here)

Marvelous, yes?

Nails

Remember my post about the ebay purchase of a lash case?

My Dolly Wink lash case has arrived! Well, it got here a couple of weeks ago, I just haven't posted pics yet. So - here it is!! SO adorable; I love it!!

It's spacious and has a separate compartment for tiny individual lashes... or maybe even to soak your lashes in some cleanser?



Like I mentioned in my previous post, you can find lots of Dolly Wink products on ebay. Just type "Dolly Wink" in the search bar. You will be pleasantly surprised. :)

Sephora Eye Makeup Remover - Review

OK - I do quite a lot of shopping at Sephora. I was about to grab my standard eye makeup remover from Clinique... when I saw a basket of the Sephora's eye makeup remover. It was only $5, so I thought "What the hell." I gave it a chance.



Let me tell you: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. This product kinda sucks. Sure, it can remove eyeshadow well enough, but it hardly made a dent with my waterproof liner and mascara. Plus, it feels super icky and irritates if you get some in your eyes.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!

Can I have my $5 back? :P
