/Hair/ An Adventure in Color

If you follow me on Twitter (I don't think many people do, but you should check me out on there), I made a few tweets regarding things going on with my hair. Here's the whole story: A few months ago when I was set to color my hair again, I vowed that I would bleach it the next time I had to do my hair. I finally got the guts to buy a Manic Panic bleach kit ($12.99).

Hello again. I've been away for a while...there hasn't been a *real* post in a while and even longer since I've reviewed some circle lenses. I bought these weekly Neo Shiny Dali Brown lenses about two months ago. I love wearing brown lenses that enhance my brown eyes because I like how it looks so natural. I'd been wanting to try the Neo brand of lenses for a while because I've seen reviews on how comfortable they are. I was also interested in disposable lenses because they're so much more hygienic for daily wear. Let's take a closer look!

Free shipping is always a great incentive when purchasing online. At least I think so. Anyway, I know this is something I'm not going miss out on.

/Make-up/ Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara

this was purchased by me.
I picked this up months ago when it was on sale at Rite Aid, but I had wanted to try it ever since it launched. I was intrigued by the idea of a mascara that would make my eyes look bigger with different wands for top and bottom lashes. After using Maybelline's original Falsies mascara, and thinking it was decent, I decided to try this. Let's see if I get bigger-looking eyes.

/Skin/ Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil

this was purchased by me.
I bought this in December when the Shu Uemura site was having the 25% off orders of $50+ sale. I intended to get the cleansing oil in the pink bottle because I've used it before and thought it was good, but it was sold out at the time. I chose this, which is totally expensive at $42 for a 5 oz/150 ml bottle and $90 for 15 oz/ 450 ml, because it was the only other classing oil without mineral oil in the ingredient list. I've been using it since January and here are my thoughts on it.

/Skin/ Daiso Oil Blotting Cosmetic Paper

this was purchased by me.
As much as I love the look of healthy, glowing skin, there's a fine line between glowy and shiny with my face. I'm sure this is an issue with most people who have oily and/or combination skin. So in order to keep the oil balanced on my face I have a touch-up regime that I do about halfway through the day (4-5 hours after my initial make-up application). Oil blotting papers are part of my arsenal to combat shine and I happened to find this box of them at my local Daiso.

/Hair/ New Cut

Hello! Sorry for being away so long. I got a visit from my (new!) boyfriend a few weeks ago so I was distracted and busy showing him around. I didn't really recover from his departure yet so I've been kind of sad and lazy. Anyway, I was in need of a haircut, the last one I had was in January, so I went to the Aesthe' salon today. This was my hair before the cut:

before
It was really long and all my thinned out layers at the bottom had turned into a heavy blob. Here's my new hair!

after
It feels much lighter on my head because my hairdresser really thinned out my hair. I was quite scared to see all my hair on the floor. I like it, though. I asked for wavy hair and it looks rather cute. Too bad it won;t stay nice like this all the time (I have no idea how to curl my hair like this). Next thing to do would be coloring my hair....
