Hair time-line for this year!

Out of all the 6 six years i've been dying my hair various shades of brown, with the random purples, pinks and reds in the early stages... this year i've dyed it the most frequently.

I put together a time-line of photos of my hair starting from late December onwards to this present day, check it out.

Once I dyed my hair back to black, I said to myself that I wouldn't dye my hair anymore, give my hair a break. However, the jet black faded and as you can see, my current hair is natural black ontop, and the ends are brown, so I have gradient hair...
Whilst I was putting together the hair timeline, my urge to dye my hair grew stronger. Shall I go back to orange hair? Dye it some shade of brown again?
I am bored of my hair now, and I feel like doing something to it. Not cut it because I am currently trying to grow it out.

E.L.F. Natural Lash Kit

I've never been a person to wear false lashes (even though I naturally have short lashes) I find them really long and hard to put on. I'm usually always rushing so I don't have time to put them on.

On the last E.L.F 50% off promotion, I decided to get 2 pairs of these lashes. I now have 3 false lashes all together (the third being Eyelure).

Once I received these lashes, I tried them on and trimmed them down to fit (so I don't have to do it later and waste time). Here is are some photos of me with the lashes on:

I like these, they make my eyes pretty, but these took me so long to put on properly... I need more practice... for 75p, it's well worth the money, though you can buy better on ebay? So if you can, just buy from ebay... you get more for your money on there for false lashes haha.

The glue supplied in the box is clear and dries clear. I found it stick pretty well, however when I was taking it off, it kind of hurt a little... I'm not sure if that's normal or not... perhaps it was just because I may have put them on wrong or something? It got stuck to an eyelash (just one) and that hurt. Other than that, all is good!

E.L.F Matte Finisher Nail Polish

I got this product in my previous E.L.F haul (RRP £1.50) but at the time, E.L.F were doing a 50% promotion, therefore I got it for 75p! What a steal! I love E.L.F so much, though sadly, they are not going to do any more 50% off offers! They are still really good value for your money so I really recommend you check them out if you haven't already!

Anyway, moving onto the review~

Here are some photos of what the matte finish looks like compared to the usual shiny finish:

Matte:

Normal:

Ahh... I think it may be hard to tell the difference from the photos? >.< aiiish. Well, I think it gives off a nice finish, and I really like it. In my opinion, it makes the nails more cuter (though it may just be the polka dot design haha)

I would say this was a nice buy and I'd definitely it again! :)

My Nail Polish Collection.

So this is all of them.

The elastic bands on the lids are because I do that when I can't open it (it gives you better grip and then opens easily!) But yes, Some of them I really hate lol >_>

Deepest Apologies.

Hello. It's been a while. I haven't really had much to blog about lately, with the whole preparing for university thing going on right now, my life is not that interesting and I've been busy trying to sort stuff out!

3 more days left until I leave my home and move into university halls. Am I excited? Not really to be honest, it still hasn't sunk in yet. It will probably hit me when i'm all alone in my room with a bunch of new people as my flatmates for the next year. Will I cry? I don't know yet, I'm unpredictable... I have to say I don't cry easily, but we shall see. Hahaha.

And that's it, that's my update.

I have a few posts coming up now though! :D

Oh and this came today:

My third E.L.F Haul!
I'll be doing product reviews on ALL of my make-up, and my daily skin care routine too, later on~~

Tsubasa Inspired Nails

I haven't painted my nails for while, and so today I decided to do Tsubasa inspired nails.
I came across this photo of her:

I liked her nails so I attempted it myself (this is my second time doing this by the way!)
I find it pretty easy to do as it's only painting the tips, except for the one black nail of course. One difference I've done is instead of drawing the heart and bow on the black nail, I've just used glitter nail polish (as that looks really time consuming to do >.<). Using glitter nail polish (the ones with the little AND big specs) still look pretty to me! But of course if you're skilled enough to draw the heart and bow, please do so! Also, obviously you can use any colour you want as I have :) I'm sure some of you won't have the exact same colours that Tsubasa has on, or mine, so choose whatever you like. I myself don't have a baby pink so I used a blue instead hehe. Here are mine:

And a nail tutorial~!

Hair Accessories

I think I buy waaaay too many hair accessories, for a person that rarely wears any!! I just can't help myself.

Here is a photo of all my alice bands / headbands lol:

The breakdown

These 3 are in the "Anime expo/Dress up" category. As you can see, they are pretty over the top and not really suitable for everyday wear haha.

Where I got these
The furry ears - I made them
The cat ears - Claires
The big bow - DIY, I took the bow off from an old top of mine and just attached it to a plain black alice band.

Now these alice bands all have something attached to the side of it, which I consider to be more wearable everyday. However, I've grown out of the whole wearing Hello Kitty and bows on my head for now (It makes me look like a child!) I'm trying to look my age at least... aha xD

Where I got these
Starting from the top
Denim blue alice band with star detail - Claires
Blue bow alice band - Vietnam
Yellow Hello Kitty double alice band - Vietnam
Pink bow polka dot alice band - Claires
Black alice band with black&white bow detail - Claires
Cream white bow alice band - Primark
Green (It looks black in the photo for some reason :/) bow alice band - Primark
Pink Hello Kitty double alice band - Vietnam

Just your average plain coloured alice bands, not going to bother saying where I got these because you can pretty much get them anywhere!

My headbands. I wear these the most out all of the above, except for the blue one, I use that to keep my hair out of my face during my skincare routines. The wrap-around band has been used a few times since I got it about a month or so ago? The plaited double band was used when I had brown / orange hair, it stood out more on lighter coloured hair, I don't wear it any more since I dyed my hair black again (although my hair is gradient black to brown atm lol). Worn the black flower out 2 times only, I think it's too much tbh haha.
The feather ones I actually got today! I've never really been a fan of the whole feather thing... but something just drew me to it today (impulse buy) and I actually quite like them :) I'll be wearing these when I go out (THAT'S IF MY MUM LETS ME OUT!).

Where I got these
Wrap-around band - Primark
Blue band - New Look
Both feather bands - Primark
Black plaited double band - Claires
Black flower band - Claires

Now for my hair clips:

Erm, I'm not going to say where I got these, because they are pretty average? But if you want to know then just ask me.

And finally, my hairbands:

That's it for this post! Thanks for reading :)
