Belated Halloween & Hair/Makeup Shot

Ahhhh, I'm late posting this week, but Happy Belated Halloween! How was it for you?  Did you get candy or go to a party?  I went to spend the evening with a very good friend of mine and her family.  Since I've never really celebrated Halloween or anything like that before, it was lots of fun to help decorate and hand out candy to all the adorable trick-or-treaters that came by!  I dressed up as a witch for the day, but alas, I forgot to take pictures of my costume.  TT-TT  But I did take one of my hat once I finished it!

Behold, my custom-designed & made witch hat!

I was very pleased with the way it came out!  Basically, I sewed on some striped ribbon around the crown, and made a pumpkin pin to go on the front. But the felt pumpkin and the feathers had to be glued in, since they wouldn't stay on otherwise.  XD  And maybe next year I'll get a more elaborate dress and jewelry so I can use this hat again.  :3

New Wig

Happy Sunday!  I thought today would be a good day to show a little something I got recently.  See, I decided to try something new and get myself a wig.  I headed on over to Ebay, and ordered a long curly styled wig with fringe bangs, in dark brown, because straight black can look kind of fake on me, and I wanted to go with a lighter color.

I got my wig in the mail about a week and a half ago. The doorbell rang unexpectedly, and we almost didn't answer it because we weren't expecting any visitors, but it turned out to be the postman with my wig!  XD

I was in the middle of doing some paperwork, but I was so happy and excited to *finally* get my wig, that I opened up the package right away.  This is what was in it:

Happy in a package!

The seller I purchased the wig from put everything in a nice little package, and included a little bonus I wasn't expecting:

Surprise!  This wasn't in the product description, but it was a great bonus!

A wig cap!  It didn't say that they would be including one with the wig, so I thought that I'd have to go to my local beauty/hair store and buy one.  But no worries now, because this was a great surprise!

The wig!  In all of its unopened, packaged glory.  XD

Of course, once I opened things up, I had to try on the wig right away.  The result?

Me wearing the wig.  I am not wearing any makeup, and there is a black knit beanie from Material Girl on my head.  ^  ^

Ta-dah!  Instant long, curly hair~  I'm really happy with the length, but the color is lighter than I thought it would be.  When the description said dark brown, I thought it would be a darker shade, but it's more of a medium, though definitely not light, brown to my eyes.  But that might be because I'm used to thinking of dark brown as brown-black.  So maybe next time I might get a black wig.  ^  ^

All in all, I'm happy with this purchase!  With shipping, it was only $11.99.  Great deal, I thought.  I need to play with it some more so that it sits on my head correctly, and I learned from taking the above photo that I need to leave the bangs falling straight across my forehead instead of swept to one side like I did with the hat.  >  <

Hopefully I'll have another wig to show soon!  In the mean time, I'll be getting on finding myself a copy of the current issue of Happie Nuts and playing more with false lashes, as  I have more of those now than I thought I would this time last year.  XD

Until next time~
