H A I R // Manic Panic Purple Haze Review

So I realize this review is long over due since I have already changed my hair color and failed to update what purple haze looks like, I thought I would let you know my thoughts on this particular dye in words and pictures.

Love this color. However, it did not come out as I had expected. The pictures on Manic Panic's Website and Sally's Beauty Supply looked more red. This was a solid purple. Then again, I had dyed over my pink hair which may have altered the coloring on it, but I figured Purple Haze was dark enough that it was over power my pink hair.

2 days after dying session. 

2 days after dying session

Just like all the Manic Panic dyes, the consistency is fantastic. It's easy to apply and it makes your hair feeling soft after. Unlike most Manic Panic dyes, this one started to fade pretty fast. Fortunately, it was fading into this cool ombre pink/purple colors which totally worked but then it got really weird when the under colors of my blues (from like 3 dye sessions ago) was showing through. This could have been for a few reasons.
1. I've been taking obnoxiously hot showers.
2. Lately, I've been washing my hair more often.

Or it could have just been the dye. I was honestly expecting Purple Haze to fade into a more greenish color, like the way Ion Color Brilliance faded into this grayish/greenish/blueish color. And I expected it to hold in general. When I used Purple in Ion Color Brilliance, the color was still even throughout and it maintained whatever color it became whereas when Purple Haze faded out, it returned back to its bleached state (like a coppery blond). So it ended up looking like this.

9 weeks later

A mixture of lavender towards the end, some pinks, and the copper blond in the middle. Doesn't make any sense to me. It still looks cool, but as I said, I wish the purple lasted a little longer. Let me know how your Purple Haze turned out!

There's always that fine line

between black and white

black is the absence of color

while white is all color

Black is mysterious

White is innocence

Black is evil

White is good

I could lie in between

where all is grey

but we're all extremists

and want to see in only black and white

I could dress in all black

and take away the color

but little pops 

just make everything better

I need color

I love the colors in my hair

and the color throughout the world

so I'll continue to travel between spectrums

taking on both extremes

Hat // Dresslink

Coat // Dresslink

Button Up // H&M

Black Jeans // Levi's

Wedges // Tilly's

This has become my favorite coat. It's lightweight but still keeps my warm. And I love the length which goes right above the knee. You can never go wrong with black and white. As I've mentioned, I've been wanting a hat like this for some time now so it's been a great addition to my wardrobe. 

Check out Dresslink and their great affordable styles.

F A S H I O N // DRESSLINK WISHLIST!

When coming across ZNU, I also found Dresslink which has crazy affordable prices! The best thing about their website is that they offer 1 cent items! Isn't that crazy? However,  I do feel their clothing it is a hit or miss. A lot of the reviews really seem to like the products but the sizing is a bit confusing since they are Chinese sizes. With that in mind, I would suggest ordering a size up from your normal size. Also, sometimes the product is not the same as the picture/description so be weary of that, but the item still looks great. With that being said, let's jump into the wishlist!

One of the 1 cent items I adored was this Fashion Fairy Princess Skirt. Tulle is my weakness and if I had found this skirt sooner, I would have put it on my order!

Ughuhhh. The color and texture of this coat is lovely. I really wanted to pick this one but it was totally out of my price range and I felt it would just sit in my closet. But I had such an urge to buy it. Maybe on my next purchase

Ripped denim is definitely coming back in style. I think the last time I purchased ripped denim jeans was about 7 years ago, so it definitely seems about that time it comes back to a popular style. Specifically black ripped jeans. I've never owned a pair of black ripped jeans but they would work perfect with a grunge outfit. Dress the jeans up or down, you can't ruin the look. AND these particular pair were high-waisted. Triple win for me.

I absolutely adore these trousers! I feel like I would neglect them if I actually purchased them but I love this look so much! personally, I'd pair it with a crop top but I love what this girl did with them.

I've also been needing another pair of high waisted shorts and these come in multiple colors!


I am in love with this coat. I had to have it! So this is one of the first items I've ordered in which I ordered a Medium (usually I wear a size Small). Hopefully it fits well because I'd be so bummed if it fit too tight.

I also ordered this hat because I've been wanting one of these suckers for a long time. I keep borrowing my friend's hat so I thought I'd get one of my own.

So at this point, I'm waiting for the last two items to come in and I'll put a look together with them, so stay tuned for that. Hope you're all well. Let me know which item is your fav in the comments!

Don't follow her to the desert

She'll be your Queen

Reigning over nothingness

And everything in between

Can't trust a girl 

When you can't see her eyes

Lift up her crown

You'll be wishing you were free in the skies

Unless you're really curious

You'll only find her tar black soul

Hallow with envy 

Vying for control

Leave the desert while you can

Or else you'll be a two person clan

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
