[Tried & Tested] Turning Electric With Manic Panic

Hi Huneybees,

So, after a month odd of hair washing, my "Dark Forest" hair has faded to this pastel turquoise. I miss my colours and so here's another change to my hair...

This time round I have the Rockabilly Blue (Amplified), Purple Haze (Amplified) and Electric Lizard to play with. I'm infatuated with the neon Electric Lizard the moment I was introduced to Manic Panic. So I insisted on having this colour this time round. Hehehehe...

See how beautiful the colour is?! I had my hair coloured in sections, that's why I turned into this robot hair of aluminium foils. It took around 2 hours to get the hair fully coloured and whilst waiting for the hair colour to seep in, might as well "blow" some bubble...

After half a day of sitting in the salon, my hair is finally done! Electric Lizard and Purple Haze in the top, with a little Rockabilly Blue peeking from underneath. My hairstylist even layered my hair, so that I can show off all those colours. I totally dig this new hair colour! What about you?

Thank you 77th Street for the lovely colours. You can get Manic Panic hair colours online at www.77thstreet.com,  and all 77th Street outlets.

Manic Panic has been a leading semi-permanent hair color since 1977 and many celebrities, models and stylists have been using their colours! Their famous VEGAN formula not only colors but conditions the hair. Available 30 vibrant rainbow shades of MANIC PANIC HIGH VOLTAGE "CLASSIC" CREAM HAIR COLORS, with some that glow under black light!

MANIC PANIC AMPLIFIED Cream Formula is a stronger, longer lasting formula. AMPLIFIED Cream Formula lasts 30% longer. You can get the same fantastic VEGAN ingredients as the CLASSIC FORMULA with longer lasting colours. My hairstylist love the 4oz squeeze bottles as they are easier to dispense and colour the hair as she holds on to the aluminium foils.

[Tried & Tested] Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure in Ka-Ching

Hi Huneybees,

Ever wanted those luscious, flirtatious lashes like those of Katy Perry's? No one can resist those eyes eh? Well, with the collaboration of Katy Perry and Eylure, comes an array of false lashes that will definitely get you to flirt your way through. :)

Eylure is a false eyelash company, and all their lashes are 100% natural and handmade.  They are reusable and suitable for those of us who wear contact lens.  Being around since 1947, their lashes were worn by several iconic gorgeous ladies - including Elizabeth Taylor!

I have come across Eylure lashes on my previous trip to Britain and these lashes under the Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure collection are full flushed lashes with a tinge of colour pop. The stylist pop singer has always been known for her bright hair colours and now these are just the right ones for the colour hugging ME! They are meant to pop out the colour of your eyes more by adding a little flash of subtle color to your lashes.

So, I was given the Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure in Ka-Ching to review and I brought them along to my trip in Penang. These lashes had a hidden hint of peacock green amidst the black lashes, and I liked that it is not the super dramatic coloured lashes.

The lashes come with Eylure's LashFix, an instruction booklet, and a sticker to go with it's pop styled packaging. I love the Roy Lichtenstein inspired-style of Katy Perry, it really shows so much of her personality! 

The packaging made it so easy to bring around and store back when done using, that's why I decided to bring it along on my trip. When I go overseas, I like to wear my false lashes as I find no matter how waterproof or resistant your mascara or eyeliner can be, there's bound to be certain level of smudges towards the end of the day.

This is how it looks with the lashes on. I matched them with a nude look and everyone was loving my lashes. Not only did they match my hair, it also "opened" up my eyes quite a bit and brought colours to a simple look of the day.

It was very comfortable to wear them for the whole day and I liked that the band is so easy to fit onto my eyes. However, the lashes were a little too long for my eyes and I had to trim the ends a little. But nonetheless, I still loved these lashes...

These lashes would be great for the everyday office look. You can look good and add a little pop of colour to your look without having to over dramatize your makeup!

The Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes by Eylure false lashes comes in 3 different coloured strip lashes and one set of individual lashes. They are all named with the comic "sound effects" to go with the comic colour pop packaging.

Traffic Stopping Hair Colours

Ever since my first attempt to tie dye my hair last year, I went through several colour changes by having my ends changing colours every few months.

I wasn't happy with the previous colour and so I went back to the hairstylist's to bleach and then add on the colours again. This time, it was red, green, maroon. We left it as that and 2 months later, I went back to bleach out my hair even more and this time, we changed the colour to orange, green and purple. It's definitely more prominent now with more bleaching out.

But bleaching the hair's a bitch! I had super duper dry ends when I got lazy or forgot to apply the hair moisturiser. And since I've had this super long long hair for more than 2 years, I thought it was time to snip it all off!

Just a couple of pictures before I snip it all off....

Woo! The amount of hair! Anyone wan hair extensions??

So, there, I "chopped" it all off, leaving little red tips at the end of my hair...

I loved the red ends lots, give my shorter curly hair a little twist, even when I tie my hair up in a ponytail.

3 months later, I was back at my hairstylist's to bleach out the red ends (which was dang difficult as he had to make sure my hair didn't break too!) as we decided to turn it turquoise blue as seen on Katy Perry and Photographer May Lin Le Goff.

We chose to do a gradient effect and this was achieved by getting the hair bleached into different tones, so the more yellow my hair gets, the greener the hair gets...

Ta Da! After 7 hours of hard work, we got the effect I wanted!

Above: This is how the hair colours looks like under sunlight.

Below: And this is how the colours look like under fluorescent light.

Yes, my hair's not straight, this is then my natural curls....

So, this is my coloured hair journey for the past few months.

Still unsure of what's my next move, but I know I'm enjoying the blue hair for now! :)

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney
