Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light: Swatches & Review

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light

Retails for $45US and $54CAN as Sehpora. I was able to play with these shades in store and up to this point I was thinking Ethereal Light would have been a better match for me but the "opalescent sheer, cool white powder" they described it as was much more a pure white one the skin, no opal at all just glow. I personal prefer highlighters to have a touch of colour and Diffused Light is much lighter in person then the online photo's give it credit.

Natural Waves and Poof Bangs/Fringe ~ Daenerys Targaryen Hair - Wig Tutorial

Muginami (sheep hair girl) wig from Rinne no Lagrange


This tutorial will cover how to get natural waves in human and synthetic hair including the different types of wig fibres you need to be aware of. The wig I'm using is not Daenerys Targaryen Platinum blonde shade of hair so forgive me on that but I would not make a good Daenerys cosplayer with my body shape. ;)

HELLO KITTY Tokyo Pop Collection Brush Cup & Wide Tooth Comb
Ok the one thing that the Hello Kitty line at Sephora does well is swag! Personally I have a thing for Black Hello Kitty beauty tools which start with the MAC Hello Kitty Collection of 2009.  I don't haul full collections but I did with that MAC one when it came to swag. *_*

The Brush Cup Retails for $24US & $29CAN and the Wide Tooth Come is $12US & $14CAN. But both are on clearance sale right now which is what usually happens with these LE collections. ;)

Dyeing heat resistant wigs with RIT - Dylon Fabric dye ~Tutorial

Yukio & Rin Okumura wigs
Here my tutorial one dyeing with with multipurpose fabric dye (Cotton/wool/nylon) on heat resistant wigs. The fiber types are Hiperlon (has natural hair texture and thicker, made in Korea), Powerlon (referred to Japanese heat resistant fiber, silky smooth in texture), and Henlon (which most Chinese heat resistant fiber and seller use, looks a little too shinny/plastic).

This will not work on natural hair wigs (doesn't colour fast) or on regular synthetics wigs (the method ruin the fibers or melts them).
