Liese Bubble Hair Dye in Chestnut Brown

Hello! Hope everyone's enjoying their school holidays!

Well I sure am, after having to finally dye my hair for the first time. HEEE. I thought of coloring my hair a couple of months ago, that's when I decided to buy the Leise Bubble Hair Dye. I asked Melissa's opinion on it since she has tried Liese's Bubble Hair Dye before and coincidentally she was using the same color that I had bought! I wanted something subtle and natural looking so I went for Liese's second darkest color -- Chestnut Brown. 

I got my hair dye from Sasa. They were having their weekly sale, so it was discounted to RM34 if I'm not mistaken. They even gave me a free mask and a tiny butterfly keychain :)

Hmm, I would say this hair dye is rather fun to do on a little DIY weekend. But I would recommend getting someone to help you on your first try. Like my mom, she helped me out with this one, and since my hair is kind of short I had left overs so she joined the fun x)

MUST DO's:

>> Be in a well ventilated area/ with mini fan or opened windows. This is cause the dye gives out a really really strong ammonia smell, it has already been more than 24hours and yet the smell is still in my hair!

>> Apply oil base product eg.Petroleum Jelly on forehead, ears and neck to avoid staining.

>> Wear some raggy-ol' t-shirt or just cut a plastic bag a tie it around your neck, like what I did. 

>> Wear gloves, duh.

& have fun :D

End results under sunlight.

It's only noticeable when the light hits, but indoors hardly anyone notices it. Unless you actually knew how black my hair was previously, it would be really obvious. Well maybe I'm speaking too soon, cause Melissa says it'll get lighter and lighter after more washes. So we'll see... Overall I guess I'm pretty satisfied with this product. Go give it a try since it's the holidays!

DIY Tanks

Hello readers,
If you follow me on twitter, today's known as DIY Day. Met up with Angie around noon and headed supply hunting for the DIY tanks and what not. Had lunch at PHOP cause Angie found out that they had quite an affordable set lunch. I had the Dory Fish accompanied by Fried Pancake stuffed with Mashed Potatoes & Salad

2 course meal + drink = RM13.80

Went to Popular to get the art supplies and even mange to pick up my 2011 planner. I go crazy for pretty planners and notebooks :x After that was a little walking around, then headed to Angie's place to get started. I had a Chanel logo and a Peace sign in mind, while Angie's had a Mustache and the Deathly Hallows sign.

RM2.50 for Fabric Dye of 75ml

Tanks, Brushes, Fabric Dye, Paper cut out stencils.  

 Angie's a happy kid. Harry Potter fans be jealous! (HA)

This would be mine. Outlined.

 Outlined then the painting.

 Outlined and filled.

How to spot DIYs? They aren't perfect.

Outcomes of our hard work.

 

These are basically how it'll look, cool eh.

First attempt of DIY with Fabric Dye.

I would say I'm ...

SATISFIED. 

ps: Heading for KRS Camp tomorrow, hope it'll be fun :)

Gameboy Remote Control Sock

Just thought I share my new creation with you :)

After making the Gameboy iPhone cover, cherms insist I make him one for his gate remote control. Hmm. For all the times he paid for my share of Mcdonalds and mango ice shavings(to die for) from 100yen, making one of these for him sounded good :)

After 2 hours of snipping and sewing, turned up this babe. 

Cherms wants to be cool, hanging stuff around his neck. 

But now he can walk around campus with this cute thing dangling there, while people ask 

"Eh Michael, this is so cute! Where you buy?" 

He says "My sister make one." 

Dream on, he'll say "I make one." HA

PS: That's my polka dot ring he stole from me. 

Like father like son.

Miley looks gorg in this video! Love this song too.

Gameboy iPhone Cover

Learned how to make this video from IGNite Camp Justin. This is where Stop Motion comes in handy, haha! I know right the music! I googled cute music, and Plants VS. Zombie's song popped out. Used it anyho ;P

The video just made it a 100 times cuter XD

First creation of the Gameboy Range is complète! Quite happy with the end product ;) 

It leans more towards an iPhone cover, cause the size snugs the iPhone perfectly. The felt helps protect it from scratches too. However, on other phones it might be a little loose but it still lives up to its purpose. The iPad helped out in sewing this little baby, ALOT   ;) 

Got the felt yesterday and as soon as I got home I started sewing and cutting. Worked on it till about 2 in the morning. It was giving me a massive headache, but I didn't want to stop cause I like finishing what I started at that day itself, I hope I'm not the only who's like that. 

which shade of blue would you like to see on the next Gameboy phone cover? 

Still thinking whether I should put it up on sale at ze Blogshop, or ... 

The funny thing is, I'm not even an iPhone/iTouch user! 

Would you buy it? ;)  Please leave a comment, I BORED TO DEATH.

Study Breaks As DIY Session

HI READERS. 

If you've been an avid reader of my tweets last month, you should know that I've been doing some DIY lately. But due to examination preparations I took a pause after completing the black Cupido. But these addictions are pretty hard to let loose off, a ghost keychain and a white Cupido in the FIRST 2 DAYS! 

white one in the making.

black one in the making.

End products. For sale at MyShoppingNeeds

As I mentioned in Twitter, had a study group at Starbucks yesterday. 

Plus I mange to pick up some great stuff too, after studying ofcourse.

- Two-toned flats to replace my broken everyday flats.

- Mini birdcage, will definitely go back for the big one >)

This plain looking pair of flats calls for some DIY ribbons! 

To give it a pinch of cuteness. I swear it doesn't take more than 

an hour to make so trust me, i DID study :P Like I said, study break = DIY Session.

- Colored Felt (black for me) / Satin Ribbons

- Sewing Kit

- Scissors 

- Hot Glue Gun / Safety Pins

I did a step by step picture tutorial to make the ribbons. 

But i think there's no need for one, it's too simple! 

 Before 

After 

The shoe's material was actually to thick for the pin to fit, there goes my smooth plan. I want it to be removable and attachable back again. Any other suggestions on what to use? Mom said HOT GLUE GUN, but then it wouldn't be removable anymore. We'll see, maybe I'll change my mind about the removable part :)

Fringe boots or whatever you call it arrived today. Color turned out darker than expected, but its okay anyways. Was juggling between the choice of taking black or light brown, and i got a middle shade. How good is god. After numerous of constipated faced-legs-doing a hurdle-out of frame jumpshots, FINALLY got a decent shot. 

So long till after PMR. All the best to all PMR candidates too.

1 Of A Kind

Hey there.
My internet was down for 2 whole weeks, and so I apologize for the lack of updates.
Alright moving on,  remember what my next craft project was?

It was to recreate one of these necklaces by 1 o.a.k. 

And using the tools and beads my Aunt lent me, 

... ... 

taada!

I wore it to tuition the other day, received quite a few compliments on it. And so...
Here's a guide on how to make one of your very own :)

You can always try experimenting with other kinds of beads.

After the 1 month long wait, my Ashish Topshop inspired booties are here! Got them in the mail after I got home from school last Monday.

Measuring at a height of 13cm, complete with a pleather surface and comfy insoles,
this shoe is definitely worth every cent. Ah, I'm still mesmerized by its beauty x.x
How bout a leopard print one? O:

aren't these the coolest pair of leggings you've ever seen? =D
