Mail, Hair and Random Happenings

So Monday was a busy mail day...

Packages from mac, BM and a lovely little parcel from a sweet friend arrived ^_^

I was so excited to recieve my mac face and body in white and can't wait to give it a proper test run this weekend! I don't think I'll be doing a full on review because well...there's a tonne of them already out there I would imagine as this product isn't exactly new.

 

I also received these lovely Illamasqua polishes curtsey of the gorgeous Kierra over at Look What the Bat's Dragged in; thank you, beautiful! I encourage you to check out her blog if you're into nail polish at all, she has great taste and an extensive collection of nail polish.

 

 

  I didn't waste time painting my nails with Hemlock, I wish I could properly capture the colour; it's amazing!

And lastly the freak stew skirt from Black Milk, love this print!


And I guess it's on to other news...

 

This green fairy had to pop into...a disguise :-( Looking in the mirror makes me incredibly depressed but at least this way I should be able to get a job and get the hell out of this cesspool.

And here's some more recent pics of the hair that's been around for about a week now..

Max and I enjoying cuddles

Looking more and more like *my* Shepard every day :P

 

 Awesome cup Luke gave me :D




Aaaand some Halloween stuff..I've enjoyed the last few weeks without the folks and as such have decorated the house...Though I'll probably have to take it down today as I don't think they'll let me keep them :/

 

 Making bats, thanks Gothically Yours! Here's the tutorial.


I think I might sign off for tonight

New Hair Curler!

So not too long ago I saw Ozsale had a bunch of different hair tools up for cheap on their website and after recently trying (and failing) to play around with my mum's old hair curler, I decided to buy my own. I dipped into my rego fund which was really naughty of me but since I've seen these clipless curlers a few times I've been dying to try one for myself. And oh my goth they are about 100 times easier to use than the regular clip ones.

The one I decided on was a 3-piece interchangeable-barrelled one from a brand called Herstyler. I think it was around $80 bucks which I thought was fairly reasonable. Thing is I looked up the product to read a few reviews and in the US you can get the same exact curler for around $30-$40 :/ But unfrtounately the sites I found with it wouldn't post to Australia, even if they had international shipping it wasn't a product listed with that option. Fuck you Australia and your taxes and just generally being expensive and your currently shitty dollar.

Here are some pics of it;

Cool tin that I now can't get everything back into >.<







Awkwardly looks a bit like a dildo 0.o



The 3 barrel size options.



And my hair after a play around with it!

 I do need to practice a bit though as I gave myself a nasty burn near my elbow :(


Unfortunately this is what my hair does to curls if I don't prepare my hair prior to curling/hairspray them


I guess it was after seeing Gatsby recently (and struggling with the old curling iron we had) that really pushed me into buying my own. The movie was so awesome and everything about it was just so gorgeous! Hopefully I too will have pretty curled hair regularly now ^_^

Anyway, that's all folks

Rockabilly Partaaay

So I found to a friend's 21st this weekend just gone and as I mentioned a few posts ago it was to be a rockabilly theme. I'm not much into the whole rockabilly subculture - not that I don't think it's cool, on the contrary there are many aspects I like but it's just not really for me. So I did the theme with my little twist on it, mainly because I didn't have high-wasted jeans and for the life of me I could not find an affordable leather/leather jacket substitute.

I guess my look revolved around my sky-high pompadour quiff really...See the creation process if you'd like; 

 

I used this youtube tutorial here. Obviously I took a few liberties, making my pomp a lot taller, changing the back to accommodate much longer hair and leaving out the dent thingo at the front but I really like the way he does the sides. Plus his technique seems to keep it together for much longer. I slept on mine for two days and it still looked good enough to leave the house with (after a slight touch up with some hairspray of course).

This was my outfit, '50s/'60s grease monkey;

Wayfarer sunglasses - Ray Ban

Chesty white shirt and belt - Kmart

Mechanical legbone leggings - Black Milk

 Keeping in mind that this party was saturday evening and my hair done late saturday afternoon...This was my hair before going out for the day on Monday;

Top and leggings by Black Milk Clothing

And this was Monday night right before I began the arduous talk of washing out a ridiculous amount of hairspray and back combing...

 

Anyway I'm off to watch the latest GoT episode and hopefully I'll have some photos taken by my friends of the actual party to show you all soon.
