Hair dye to get
I think rainbow hair is a part of my identity now and I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. At the same time, I'm also a lazy POS so I'm always on the lookout for dyes that last long.
So... other than blue colours, don't get the Directions brand.
Get Special Effects. Special Effects was the first brand I used when Rachel (thanks gurl) first introduced me to hair colors 3 years ago. We bought it off Ebay UK.
Blue Violet - Atomic Pink - Octane Orange
Here's a table I made on how long the colors last for each brand. Special Effects are semi-permanent dyes that last MONTHS!

Other than that.. I heard there's something called
demi-permanent hairdye that lasts longer than these semi-permanent dyes. Maybe one day I'll give them a try :D
Asian beauty makeup review
Makeup review because I just got some Korean makeup shipped and I'm veryyy excited hehehe. (⌒▽⌒)☆
From left:
Peripera velvet ink in coral
0/5 fucking disaster
Don't get this!! ٩(ఠ益ఠ)۶ It's like disgusting paint that coagulates on the insides of your lips and barely has any colour. I threw it into the trash immediately.
Clio silkuid lip in #02 Cheshire
4.5/5 my new favourite
I always
hated lip gloss / liquid lipstick because they felt like sticky candy-flavoured semen on your lips. But now I am conveRT!!! I love this lippy!!
I got the second shade
but it's actually MUCH BRIGHTER
Clio silkuid applies evenly, feels velvety smooth and NOT STICKY, and
stays on even after I ate chicken mcnuggets!! It fades into a natural cute red too.
^ This is immediately after applying, no filter
^ This is faded after some time.
Excuse the no makeup fdace thank
My previous fave was Kat Von D in Underage Red, but it always dried out on my lips. Good thing is, it tastes like vanilla chocolate.
My only complaint is the name lah.
What kind of name is silkuid?! I know it's like silk liquid but still. SILKUID sounds like squid!!!
Now I am craving salted egg silkuid.
PERIPERA Nose Up Shading
3.5/5 Natural fun contour
I think this is super fun to use!! .:☆*:・'(*⌒―⌒*)))
The shade is natural!
As for which shade for contour - GET THE DARKER SHADE (second one, called 'edge contour'). I'm light-skinned at NC25, and this already is quite subtle on me. I have heard reviews that say the light shade has no effect.
TBH I'm still not really good at contour so it either make me look weird AF or nothing happened!!! I'm going to work on it because I have a flat face and I hope to add definition to it.
Left (no contour) right (has slight contour)
Don't take these photos as the real effect cuz seriously I think my lighting is just awful. Speaking of contours, I also have
April Skin 4D stick in Diet Bronzer
2.5/5 Hard to aim, hard to blend
The effects are pretty visible, but it is
too bulky and it's so hard to aim. Also, the built-in-brush just brushes the contour AWAY!! it doesn't blend it. I resorted to using my ecotools foundation brush to scoop the product.
I think I'm using it in the following selfies:
Lol at that nose shine lmao
Ok I'll review more at a later date!!
