More moaning about my wig... (Posted 10th April 2013)

So I finally got the wig last week. And you know what, it is great! The perfect length and texture and it feels so nice and good quality and I am very pleased with it!

Apart from one huge thing... it is too fucking ORANGE!
Uggghhhhh its meant to be blonde, but its a kinda gingery gold orange colour. So I freaked out about it a bit, but found a tutorial on youtube about making wigs lighter by drowning them in baby powder then brushing and shaking it. (It also makes them less shiny.)
So I tried that this afternoon - not a full job though, just seeing if it works. And I guess it does. It definitely seems lighter. So I just need to style it and complete the job, and hopefully it won't be as shitty as I'm scared it will.

On another note, I bought all my make up supplies today to do the burn scar :D
I'm following a tutorial from deviantART by the user gw33t3r-love and it seems pretty good. Buying make up is hard though >.< but we managed to find more or less what I need.

Why Buying Wigs Sucks! (Posted 29th March 2013)

I ordered a wig on the 4th March. My gf recommended it and it looks pretty damn good. It was £20 which I was alright with. Then it said there was £10 shipping. And that wasn't ideal, but I hadn't been able to find any other Mello wigs that I liked, so it wasn't too bad.
The wig arrived yesterday. I answered the door to the delivery man and he was all like "Okay you have a £10 delivery fee."
...... But I already paid the delivery....
But no it was an extra fucking ten quid on top of everything else just to get it from Heathrow to my house, which should only take about half an hour.
And since I didn't have that money on me in cash they took the wig back. So I've paid it online and will now get it on tuesday.
Not very happy about all this. My Yue wig (which is like 3x the length of this one) cost half what I've paid for this. So this wig better be amazing or I am going to be super pissed.
Oh well. We live and learn.

On another note I have my rosary and a studded belt, both of which I am really pleased with. Together they cost me about £6 or something. I've added a photo of the rosary :)

On boots and jeans. (Posted 22nd February 2013)

I got some new shoes in the sale at Tesco. The heels are higher than my previous ones, but I really like them (and seeing as they haven't broken they are better quality).
I also bought some black skinny jeans. Originally I got size 8 and I put them on and the legs were perfect! I have this issue with skinny jeans that they are often too baggy on me, and I wanted proper skinny because, well, that's Mello. And these were great, but I couldn't actually do the button up >.<
So I returned them and got a size up. So not as skinny as I want them.

RIP the sexiest shoes I ever owned. (Posted 7th February 2013)

I bought some super awesome black lace up boots in a sale just over a week ago. They were amazing. I was always wearing them round the house so I could get used to them (I'm still not so great in heels for extended periods of time). But then one of the rings snapped off. So I returned them and they didn't have any more in stock.
That is my tragic story.
