Clothes, makeup, hair, and other such things

Oh! That's cool, I dont know much about makeup and stuff so I assumed, sorry. Still, it's existence in general is awesome! I just got excited cause I can't do regular glitter (or much of any makeup because of sensory sensitivities)

 

Got new laces for my boots

 

Need help deciding which one I like better. How about we put it to a vote. Agree for the one with a bow, Like for the one without a bow?

 

I like the one with. Shows more rainbow

 

With bow is more eye-pleasing, imo.

 

I agree with @Lazarae and @chthonicfatigue - bow shows more rainbow and has more pop to it.

 

Wore makeup for the first time in a LONG time today. I think the last time I did more than a swipe of eyeliner was valentines.

In the interim I’ve found a smokey eye tutorial that actually makes sense and explains why I could never get them to work before, figured out what was going on with my skin and more or less fixed that, cleaned my bathroom and found a wig I thought my ex stole, and bought blue lipstick.

We’re servin’ up LOOKS tonight, bois.

Does anyone here have any experience with Overtone hair dye? I’m considering giving their light purble a try because it’s pretty much the exact shade I want, but it’s pricey enough that I figure it’s best to ask around to see if it’s worth it.

 

I wish I hadn't had to chuck out all my old perfume-making stuff. I miss smelling pretty :(

 

I tried it last year and it works... okay. It definitely stays better on light hair, but it washed out of my (brown) hair after like 4 washes. My friend who tried it and got better results left it in her hair for like 45 minutes before rinsing (as opposed to the box instructions that say 15). The color is really nice though, and the conditioner makes your hair suuuuper soft. I used Red For Brown dye, my friend (who is blond) used Light Purple.

 

This is very useful, thank you so much! I’m gonna be getting my hair bleached and toned before dyeing regardless of what dye I end up using, so hopefully it’ll work fine—I’d be going for a light purple shade myself, so if your friend has any further info on that specific shade I’d love to know!

Although just to cover all my bases: does anyone have any recs for a good light purple dye in general?

 

Just bought myself a pair of black American Duchess londoners as an early Xmas present. Nervous because I haven't spent that much on shoes before but I trust the company. Hope they fit! I'll be wearing thin socks or stockings with them and I am always a 7.5 unless im getting winter boots, but I like to be nervous anyway. Especially about expensive shoes. And covid making returns take a bit longer. But im excited, they should fulfill my desire for cute shoes while being comfortable for walking. Now I need a pair of black pumps to go with my nude ones. Maybe for my birthday though XD give my wallet time to calm down

 

I just looked them up and they’re gorgeous! I hope they fit too! :D

Also, unrelated, but GOD why do women’s slacks gotta be such a bitch to find. I have a job interview on Monday that requested business attire, and I had no suitable pants and figured it’d be easy enough to find a pair at the mall, right?

HAHA NOPE. Nothing at Kohl’s, nothing at Target. I barely even saw any men’s slacks (which would’ve been suboptimal for fit reasons anyway), and the few I DID see were all super pricey. FINALLY found a pair at Macy’s that fits both the occasion and my body well and wasn’t too dear, but sheesh.

 

Presenting…my extremely fucking dapper interview outfit from yesterday

 

Damn, you look amazing! Love the matching tie and dye.

News on my end; BPAL's Old Scratch? Mmmmm.
