When I grow up I wanna be Barbie..

I really really do want to be just like Barbie ;) aahahahah I joke >:D

So after the couple months or 1 month? I think of greenness I decided a couple weeks ago I was sick of been all dark and dreary and wanted to look bright and refreshing for the summer!
SO you know what that means! Lighter hair!

I went ahead and just bought Swarzkopft Nordic Bleach box dye. I didn't want to use my diy developer and bleach because I knew that would damage my hair a lot more ...

I bought 2 boxes for my shoulder length hair. I left the dye in longer than recommended as always just in case because I want my hair to reach full potential in what it can get from the bleach. 
Green dye is the worst dye to strip out of your hair. It's tough and doesn't want to budge. Even after I bleached it there was a few spots near the side/back of my hair where you could slightly see the green... Of course my hair felt like shit as well haha. Then I used Nice and Easy by Clairol Ash blonde hair dye to get rid of the Orange/ brassy tones you get when you bleach. My hair went to a gold/honey ash blonde colour which i didn't mind but freaked the crap out of my sister hahaha.

My mum surprisingly liked it ahah. But a week later I went off to my hairdresser HAHA.
Just to get rid of the obvious green and to get it to a nicer colour :P
They gave my low lights to balance the colour and to make it look more natural~ which I liked.


 After the trip to the hairdresser.

Week Later selfie.


After a few washes the colour became slightly darker and nicer so now I have my hair ready for summer ahaha after all the effort !

Green with envy..?

Couple months ago I went through a crazy stage where I actually have no idea what I was thinking hahah. I bought a vegetable dye from Dangerfield called Crazy Colour hair dye. The colour I bought was pine green. I was so in love with the colour green that I wanted to dye my whole head the colour ahahahah! wtf really... The dye only costs about 17$? i think I can't really remember ahah but it wasn't too pricey and its almost the same price you would pay for fudge hair dye (18$) which is so not worth it :( The crazy colour hair dye also has a bit more in the bottle as well and has a liquidy consistency, so more coverage (which is what I thought at first)


So I went ahead and started my at home diy hair. I bleached my hair using 30V creme developer and Hi-Lift Blue blonde powder bleach (if you're in AUS. you can grab these at Priceline or hairhouse warehouse) I basically fried my hair to a horribly brittle stage.. I bleach it about 3 times in that one day, which is so not recommended ... intense bleaching has to be done in stages over a period of time... but I was so absorbed in the crazy mood that I didn't give a shit and just wanted to bleach my hair out and so I did with consequences...


After bleaching the shit out of my hair I applied the Pine Green colour dye. For shoulder length hair 2 bottles is recommended because the one bottle will give you a patchy job like mine ahaha.
The green comes out quite bright.. like a very very very green..


The next day. You can see the patchy bits and pieces. Made me sad... and so I went ahead and applied brown hair dye on the top which created a dark brown/green tint gradient.


And so that was my crazy crazy CRAZY adventure using Crazy Colour hair dye!
If you want semi-permanent hair dye that WILL last then definitely get this! it is worth the money :)

Paintbox / fudge dye review

At the beginning of the year I was sporting an undercut for my bob cut, since my hair is undesirably thick... And after a year of having "normal" (kind of) hair I was going to spontaneously combust!
And so I decided I was definitely going to bleach and dye my undercut. So that it wasn't too extreme for my parents in a way so that I could hide it or show it.

I really wanted to try manic panic hair dye out but, wasn't ready to spend that extra $$$ since it's quite pricey to get around here. So I stuck with what i've used before and got Paintbox/fudge dye.
To be honest it isn't the best colour dye out there.. it's one of the weakest. The only way to get the vibrant colour it comes as is to bleach your hair to white. And even then, the colour only lasts around 1month/ 30 washes until it goes back into your blonde colour.. And I am one of those people that shampoos their hair everyday.

I did the dying twice over a period of time. The first time when I bleached my undercut I did it till it was about a light golden blonde. And applied the colour "Blue hawaii". The blue turned out darker and after a week or 2 started going back to blonde. Then I bleached my hair once again till it was bleach white. And again applied the Blue hawaii dye to the colour below.


This time the blue lasted longer because the base colour it sat on was white.

I recommend paint box fudge dye to anyone that wants a TEMPORARY colour. It is a weak semi-permanant dye. But I would call it a temporary dye as it only lasts a few weeks.

Things I've made so far I guess haha

My lazy self has once again taken over .. Sigh I guess it's because I feel tired from tafe but that rally is no excuse !! :(
Soni thought why not post up things I've made so far to inspire myself to keep going :D especially since I just went fabric shopping haha and got sidetracked and went clothes shopping :/ but met an awesome sales assistant at Clear it . And kind of made me want to continue trying my best at my own thing :D so here is a little photo bomb of a few creations :D

Made a clutch out of quilting fabric I found at Spotlight last year :D One of the best prints I have found imo. 

Used purple broadcloth for the lining :D


Thenn I decided why not make a high neck crop top out of this amazing print haha. So used a basic pattern from tafe and made it :3

Then I was like OMG! I should make a skirt HAHA so made a high waisted gathered skirt to match haha. Looking back at the way I sewed these, it's quite messy and not made technically correct hahahah xD

I scavenged this stretch polyester velveteen zebra patterned fabric at home couple months ago, and was in a creative mood. So made it into a simple Aline mini.. I barely wear this haha idk doesn't suit me quite well :/

One of my early creations :o
I made this 2 tiered tartan check skirt back in high school !! :O I think it was in year 10! So long ago like 3 years ago.. Back when my sewing skills were horrendous ! I still wear it often cause it's just so damn cute !! Hahha

Begging of the year for my fabric printing class we had to create a print inspired by India . I came up with this print and since we printed 3 meters had no idea what to so with it :/ so again a sewed up a simple Aline mini :D looks pretty cute

Test print from my print class~

2 colour print ~

I have recently begun obsessing over chokers haha. So decided to make my own :o just whipped out my old jewellery kit that lays in my draw gathering dust hahah. Too me like 10 mins to do this was so easy maybe should make more :o

This is all for now :) I should blog more yeh.. I know..

Much delayed ootd's

So school has once again started -_-..
Actually went back 2 weeks ago, but I have just been swamped with a shit load of homework.. we also got given our formal brief for our first individual !! omfg.. the brief is on "Boy George/ Culture club" fml hahah have to be inspired by the 80s? agk.. Well it's going to be quite interesting i feel :P maybe? Well I was actually gathering images and "inspiration" a minute ago for my visual diary, and I just feel so unmotivated ! I don't know what it is but recently my motivation for everything has just plummeted... Just on a bit of a low I guess. I think reality is hitting me in the face like a bitch now haha ! Last year, I had such an ego boost with everyone telling me how great I am, but now that I have entered a college filled with MANY MANY more people just like me thinking we're amazing, and then seeing the kind of work they produce and how dedicated they are, it makes me feel just like shit.. the effort and the way they present their work makes me feel jealous and makes me feel like everything I put out is like a piece of crap basically. ITS TIME TO UP MY GAME! I need to prove to myself I am worthy and better than them all!!

OOTD & Selfie time !









Night out with my lovelies~!

Decided I will start making effort with my nails again ! ahah
