Quick Update + Tsubasa Makeup Look

Hello! :D It's been awhile, again! Hahaha! /horriblebloggeraward

I won't go over the boring "I've been busy/unmotivated/lazy." schlemiel and get straight to the post!

On my Tumblr, I took some time to make an FAQ page since I'm more active on that site and I get repetitive questions. So check them out! I'm sure I've had followers/readers here that have had the a few of the same questions: My Tumblr FAQ

In other news, yesterday was my husband's 23rd birthday! Yaaaaay! I look forward to celebrating the many birthdays of his life ahead of us ♥

I am dearly proud and in love with this boy ♥

That night I decided I wanted to try one of Tsubasa Masawaka's Dolly Wink eyeshadow palette makeup looks. I don't have the palette myself, but I have a large color palette that I felt matched the colors well. Eventually, I'd LOVE to have this little palette because I really enjoyed the look!

Excuse my bottom lashes! They're getting very old and are over used.

And the wind was ruining my hair and making it whip my face AND getting in my eyes. LOL.

Blue is quite a common color that's used to get a more eccentric look for people who don't often apply drastic makeup. Coupling this turquoise color with the orange really deepens the look by adding depth to the eyes and creates a more mature feel as blue tends to be a youthful color.

I feel that this look isn't too bold for people who wear minimal makeup but would enjoy a bright change up. I added on a super bright red-orange lipstick as a personal touch and my Dolly Wink lashes for drama :3

And I'm sure you could tell already, but I changed my hair again! Hahahaha!

No, my hair is not going to fall out and it's perfectly healthy and soft (considering it's bleached and all).

I've had unnaturally colored hair for over a year and felt a deep desperation to get back to a natural and dark hair color. I photoshopped my hair into several colors and picked auburn!

It was a tough decision since I really considered all these colors, but I found auburn extensions that I fell in love with which made me choose in the end. The extensions I'm currently using are by Luxy. This is the first time I've bought extensions without making them myself so I don't know how fair their prices are. I just hope it was well worth the buy in the long run!

This time around when I dyed my hair, I didn't even have to bleach it and there was no problem from going green to red! It was VERY easy actually. I used L'Oreal Excellence HiColor HiLights for Dark Hair Only.

If you look at the picture below, you can see that my roots were an inch or more in and my hair was still very green. With a 30 developer, I mixed the dye in and applied it to my roots. After 20 minutes, I took the rest of the dye from the bottle and mixed it in with 20 developer and put the rest in my hair. I left it in for another 20 minutes.

After I washed it out, it was this rich, red burgundy color!

From left to right: wet hair, dry hair by window light, dry hair with flash.

This was my first step from getting to green hair to red hair so that I didn't have to fuss with having brown hair. Normally, when you put red over green, you get brown. After it faded, I went ahead and used my "backup" dye which was a dark auburn. It matched my extensions perfectly and then faded to the color below.

See how it's duller and more brown than the extensions? However, I still liked the color that it faded to. Considering that what I do with my hair is hit and miss by my expectations, I've loved every shade it's been.

Yesterday, I went ahead and dyed it with Ion Color Brilliance Medium Red Brown. It came out much darker and more brown than my extensions. When I was picking out the color, I was in a rush so I wasn't thinking straight! I should have gotten a dye with a stronger red base, but it's cool. I quite like the color still :] You can see the separation of color but as it fades, I think it'll blend it a little better.

From green hair to auburn hair!

Before all this, as I mentioned a few post before, we went to an anime convention! Here's a few pictures of me and my husband as Pokemon traingers, Touko and N, from Pokemon Black and White :3

These guys were dressed as the first gym leaders that you battle in the game. Norris and I got caught with them and we had to pose together xD I look so tan o .o

I didn't take very many pictures. As usual xD It was hella fun though :] AND, I CAME HOME WITH A STITCH KIGURUMI AND A DRAGON BALL PILLOW.

♥

I've also started a little series for myself. I'll be drawing these school girls for each day of the week. This one is "Pink Cherry Monday". I'm not sure if I'll keep with the fruit or foods theme, but I'll be drawing a girl for each day as I get the inspiration for them.

I think she looks quite cute and sweet :3 ♥

I'm thinking of doing a guy version too but with cute animals but I dunno. I prefer doing these as an image pops into my head. So far, there are no other girls just yet but I'm determined to finish the week x[

Anyways, that's it for now!
