MissDemented Wig Review

2011-07-08T14:52:00.000-07:00

for this wig "Death By Chocolate"Red hair has been my thing for several months and I'm missing dark hair. I am aware she buys these and modifies them. Anyways, this was supposed to be a birthday present and ordered it back in May. Original price $90+ and her sales vary from $70-$60. Yes, this was made to order + came in 6 weeks.I messaged her asking her if it's super shiny because I've worn

Bleach bath! Considering red x yellow = orange.Equal parts of bleach and developer PLUS 1.5 of shampoo + 0.5 of water for dry hair.(2 parts of shampoo for damp)A clarifying shampoo is perfect because it will help fade/strip out hair color.While this is more gentle than bleach alone, I left it on for 25 minutes because I'm a wuss. A much nicer, natural looking shade exposed :))) Some stubborn dark

One week after dyeing: no shampoo/wash, wore a shower cap instead, wore hat on super sunny day, straightened hair 2x, wanted the underneath ( manic panic came out) to match the rest of my hair.1 1/2 tube left of Loreal's Red Hot.turns purple when it oxidizes!I used a 20 or 30 vol developer with this.It was okay for about 2 days then turned into a muddy color against the pretty red :[of course,

Test strip on my bangs using a 20 vol. developer.I liked it but still went for the 30 vol.2 tubes of magenta, 1 red and 1/2 of hot red mixed and only put on top.I didn't think I'll have enough dye for all over and I was right!Next morning, I decided to put Manic Panic's Electric Lava and Electric banana on a chunk of hair. liked it + put it on my bangs/underneath.Finished!It's pretty intense

I used:Salon Care PrismLites (violet powder)Clairol Professional 30 vol. developerHair history:Dec* black dyeFeb* red hilift dyeI didn't want to do my whole head myself so I asked for help. The whole process took about 70-80 minutes when it's recommended that you leave bleach on for NO MORE than 60 minutes. Definitely rushed to wash it out.Underneath was bleached enough in one session to put dye

No Heat Waves/Curls

2011-03-31T12:07:00.000-07:00

THIS seemed perfect for me to do considering I have easy manipulative wavy hair. I can put my hair up in a damp messy bun or braid it, come out in curls and waves.Slept with them in without John Frieda serum. It's too heavy, greasy and difficult to remove from hands so I opted for another product to hold.Disappointing finished product: poofy, huge and a little kink to it.Did it again + let it

Loreal HIP gel liner.

2011-03-30T16:34:00.000-07:00

This is for those with raccoon eyes after twenty minutes of applying pencil or liquid liner.I can't afford to try primer potion or shadow insurance.My lids are super oily: liner smudges into the crease, comes off completely or smears right under my eye.My eyes can be sensitive to bright lights, wind, etc and I rub my eyes a bunch.I applied this in the morning, went out in the rain to an open mic

Loreal Hicolor (for dark hair)

2011-03-30T15:59:00.000-07:00

The only hair history prior to using this was a demi-permanent black 5-6 weeks before.Loreal's Hicolor highlights.It's for dark hair only.I used a tube of Red and Magenta with developer on my whole head because my friends told me it would work. Plus, when I researched on the web, it said this would work on dyed hair too. When I go for red hair, I want intense BRIGHT red.If you want a light (+

I have taken down my posts for awhile now. Those were back from '09 when I was 18. Remember?! Aghhhh, horrible lol!I'm Crissy, going to be 20 in May. Moved out with my new wonderful boyfriend that makes me super happy. I grew out my hair just like how I wanted. Got better with eyeshadow, I think haha. Fixed those beastly eyebrows. Received a Canon 7D and macro lens. I gave away most of my makeup

Then: MAC's Studio Fix NC25Revlon's Colorstay Sand Beige(too orange, too light)Now: Revlon's Photoready 005 Natural Beige.It stayed on fairly well for a rainy night out. By morning my skin looked poorly stained D: I've done a fake tan before but this was so bad lol Giving it another shot but probably going to search up another drugstore one! Coverage is medium and the shimmer particles in it give

Love my skin now! :D

I've been using this along with a bottle of Benzoyl Peroxide [10%]. The cleanser helped clear up my skin and keep it that way. My skin always felt so soft after but damn, this toner is my favorite. Within 2-3 days, the pores around my nose and chin are so small compared to before.to thisanyways, it actually looks smooth. I LOVE IT.

Ricebunny's website is finally up. Yeah, not surprised it's expensive. Her products will become popular because of the whole designer/brand crap. Yes I was interested in buying but I'm doing my own research. I don't think something that small should be worth $40+ I have this feeling it won't work and that people will jump on the "this stuff is amazing!!" bandwagon.. I really don't believe a
