What’s in My Purse?

Questions

I just finished dying my extensions to match my hair color and is just waiting for the color to set so I though I’d steal Rina’s idea of what’s in her purse.

In My Purse

1. Make up bag
2. Random eye palette (depends what eye shadow I’m wearing that day, if any)
3. Random lipglosses, make up brushes, mascara, eye lash curler, etc. I don’t use a lot of this most days but I always have them in my purse anyway
4. UDPP! ♥
5. Mineral Foundation + Kabuki brush
6. Bronzer
7. CG Trublend Translucent Press Powder
8. Eyeliner + brow pencil = must-haves
9. Extra hair-ties
10. Wallet
11. Hand cream
12. Coin Purse
13. Eye drops + hand sanitizer
14. Pills! (Vitamins, Flaxseed Oil Capsules, anti-PMS pills (!!), Reactin)
15. Work pass
16. Blackberry
17. Camera
18. Book (that’s why I have to have big bags!)
19. Nintendo DS (mostly for BF when he gets bored… LOL)
20. USB Pen

Forgot to photograph: packet of tissue, cutips (very handy in case of make up emergencies), water bottle and my Dentyne Ice Intense. Us girls get a good workout carrying all that shit around everyday.

I don’t usually watch music videos but I just found the most beautiful music video ever! It’s a little creepy but I love the the gothic doll house concept; it reminds me the good old Are You Afraid of the Dark TV shows and it’s just plain intriguing. And you gotta admit, you just have to LOVE her hair.

Here’s a link the another Youtube video without the text on the bottom (because EMB was disabled). The quality isn’t that great, but you can find a better (but smaller) version on her myspace page.

Bored Already!!

Fashion, Hair & Make-Up

I just finished re-dying my hair red (after the last stylist ruined it) and I think it still looks nice but I realized that I’m bored of all-over red hair already!!! This single-toned stuff just doesn’t satisfy me. Plus it’s so dark compared to before and probably won’t go back to my old vibrant red without bleaching so I’m ready to give up on it. Since I don’t plan to go back to the typical platinum blond streaks with dark base for a while, I figure it’s a good time to experiment with hair color… plus I don’t have an uptight job that limits what I can do with my hair! 8)

I’m on a hunt to find an awesome colorist in Vancouver so I can get some copper/plum/white/whatever highlights (anything as long as it’s bold and funky). :D Well except for black because although it looks hot with red hair, I’m really reluctant to color it black since it’s so hard to color over it without bleaching (but I will if I have to). Any ideas?

[The following pictures aren't mine and I don't have the source, but if they are yours please let me know so I can give you credit.]

  • If I ever go platinum blond again, I’ll definitely have to try #1 and #2 with pink and magenta highlights! The only thing is that I’m really lazy with my hair so it will have to be low-maintenance aka no styling and hair products involved.
  • #3 is kinda what I have in mind except my base color will be a pure red (but will copper highlights look good with it?!).
  • I’ll try #4 right before I go back to the old ways (blond highlights).
  • LOVEEEE #5… I’ll have to consult with the stylist first though to see if my hair can handle the blond right now.
  • #6 is what my hair looks like now except this one is styled funky and way longer (while mine is just short and boring).

I’ll probably wait until mid-July though so I can figure out what to do with my extensions. Hehe.

Books, Shopping

Books

Spent 2 hours in Chapters and finished a short biography while waiting for my prescription to be ready. Had to have soo much will-power today! I was lucky because the paperback version of The Last Oracle JUST arrived today too. :D

So since I had a couple days off, I figured I should go get my pink hair touched up so it could be bright and beautiful red again. GUESS WHAT COLOR IT IS NOW?! A DARK burgundy / brown / red color. AHHHH. I’ve honestly never been so upset in my life!!! I feel so normal and boring now. :grumpy: I’m such a big baby, I know, but now my hair is SO dark now and my extensions don’t match anymore and those weren’t cheap! If you’ve ever gotten a bad hair cut/dye job, you would know how I feel. But then what the hell WAS I thinking getting such bright red extensions because it’s so hard to keep up anyway?! Thankfully, I got some helpful advice from a Mallvibes member so hopefully I can go around and find a solution tomorrow (that’s why I love MV so much… the people there are so nice). If worse comes to worse, I’ll just dye my extensions a more natural and easy to match red (boring but will have to do).

Anyway, I tried to shop my troubles away online but didn’t succeed because I’m still upset. Maybe it was because I didn’t buy enough (since I was in a rush and the internet was so slow today for some reason). :irritated:

Terrible day (not to mention I was behind some idiotic Richmond drivers and then got stuck behind a train crossing on the way home). Sigh.
