Here in this city

Nobody knows me

And I can be anything

From a straight high roller

To a homeless person on the streets
I'm multifaceted
Constantly changing guise
I play each city
Calling each one my home
From Los Angeles
To Las Vegas
So you'll never know
where I truly belong

H A I R // Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink Review

If you've followed my blog for the last few years, you know I've used a variety of other pink dyes. Why it took me so long to finally use Manic Panic is beyond me and I've become a loyal user for almost a year. I can't stress to you how much I love this product overall. But let's specifically talk about Hot Hot Pink.

When I first had it in my hair, it was definitely a hot pink with blue undertones. I thought it was going to be a pink with more orange/peachy undertones. But after further research, I realized the color I thought it would be was made after mixing it with the Flamingo Pink. Nonetheless, this pink overall is fantastic. Probably because I've washed my hair a lot less so it seems like the vibrance of the color lasts much longer. But I've also noticed that it fades out better than Vampire Red. Even though most of the Manic Panic colors come out unevenly, the hair towards my roots is more uneven than the other parts of my hair. Like usually the hair on the bottom half of my head comes out more unevenly than the top part. Whereas the red came out more unevenly towards the bottom rather than the top.

Compared to other pinks this one has definitely lasted the longest and most even when applying. I love the color as it's fading out and I don't have blond patches throughout my hair (which the ion color brilliance and color jams would do after 2 weeks of washing).

One thing I'm not too fond of the manic panic is that it purposely bleeds. Supposedly so that it comes out so you can change the colors often. However, I did not find that the Atomic Turquoise bled as much as the lighter colors (red and pink). I'm not sure if it was because I had already mixed Atomic Turquoise with the pastelizer so it was already bound to lighten up faster but I just thought it was weird. I have been looking into Arctic Fox because it comes with more in the bottle and it doesn't bleed as much. I still have two sets of colors I'm itching to use so that transition probably won't happen for another couple of months.

Stay colorful.

Sunshine Daisies

If only the unreal were real, magical spells and witchhunts and enchanted forests. I keep dreaming of the day I'll find my way there. Does it only exist in our minds or can magic become a reality? Have you read the books or become part of the music? Is fantasy it's own form of religion or are we doomed to mundane life. We take the brightness in our lives and decide to make our own magic.

Let's chase the sun.

Color Jamz Bubble Head Pink Review

Yes, I'm back to pink again and this time around I tried a different dye. I will make it to baby pink eventually, and we will do another round of colors. I have it all planned out in my head how it'll work. At least I think it will. This dye smells funny. Like Play-doh possibly but it definitely had an unpleasant odor to it that I didn't particularly care for. Smell wise, I'd go with Ion Color Brilliance. The color is much brighter than the Ion in terms of being more pink. Ion I'd say has more of a shine to it whereas the Color Jamz is straight color. I'm still having issues with the splotchiness though. Like it'd go on evenly but as I wash it, the strands have spots of white hair in it. So that's a bit frustrating. I do like the color though. For this round of dye, I mixed 50/50 dye to conditions with drop of blue in it. To put into perspective, my hair is now a little bit longer than shoulder length and I used 1 and 1/2 bottles of the Color Jamz. So if you're hair is past your bra you probably need 3 bottles if you're going to add conditioner. No conditioner, I'd recommend 4-5 bottles. I DO LOVE THE PACKAGING OF THE COLOR JAMZ! The stupid Ion Color Brilliance is in tubes that's really hard to squeeze out whereas the Color is in a plastic bottle so it's way easier to get all the dye out. So fan of that. I'm still using both of the Ion Color Brilliance before and after treatment. Let me know if you know of a better pre and after treatment for colored hair. I'm definitely washing my body and hair separately to maintain the color. Maybe this time my hair will stay pink longer. We will see. To see my hair check out my last post.

Hope you're well.

Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk Lita Review

Hey guys! So I finally bought my own pair of night walks! Check out the unboxing below!


Yes I've already written a full review for this shoe, but I just can't get over how much I love them and how great it feels to actually own them. I have a mini collection of JCs sitting in my closet. It's super exciting. Honestly, I tried them on for a little at Nordstroms and walked like a few steps, but I actually WALKED in these shoes and it was so easy. Because it doesn't have a heel, it doesn't have the extra weight to hold it down and makes it easier to walk in than the Damsel.

Check out the look above, and here are some pics of the shoes.
