Webster Wigs and LED lashes...Oh my...Time for a Cyber Goth look!!

 It's been a fairly good couple of days and am feeling very creative. So much so I've been creating some new headdresses and designing some new costume pieces which will be for sale at my next Comicon demonstrations... here's a sneak peak at one of them ---->


Its always good when you get a good boost of motivation, I'm pretty sure that a big key to controlling my chronic pain is to distract myself with creative madness.

This weeks tutorial is focusing on some awesome eyelashes from Cyberdog which flashes and my first lace front wig from Webster Wigs. I absolutely love both of these!! I'm totally going to be buying more from these stores.



If you haven't heard of Cyberdog, its an awesome shiny flashy cyber store in Camden, London. I absolutely love Camden Market and Cyberdog is one of my favourite places to visit. Its just so colourful and alternative; you can find the most unique things. One of those things were these LED lashes, Eyelites! They are absolutely amazing and come in various colours. The great thing is that the lashes are connected to a small battery box that you attach to the back of your head. On the box is a button were you can change the setting of the lights so they flash at different speeds and one of the settings even makes them flash to sound!! Absolutely awesome! It was a little fiddly to attach but do able and once they're on they just feel like normal lashes, no extra weight on your eyelids. The control box that you attach to the back of your head is just the same, once its attached (it comes with a little hair clip) you can't feel it. They are pricey at £18 but totally worth it, the battery life last from up to 100 hours and there are 8 flashing modes, you can also get them in a selection of different colours.
For this look I used the white coloured ones and I can't wait to buy more colours.


The wig that I have on is from Webster Wig, "Halle" which is a fantastic lace front high quality synthetic wig. The colour is beautiful and very vibrant with lovely bouncy curls. This is my first proper lace front wig but luckily the wig came with a leaflet about how to put the wig on, care for the wig and style the wig. You also get a wig cap and it all came in a nice little bag. I absolutely love the wig, its so soft and perfect for my crazy makeup looks or just to put on when I can't be bothered doing my hair! The price of the wig was £50 but the website has a range of prices and styles of wigs to choose from; personally I think it was worth it because of the quality and I'll be definitely be ordering more in the future.



So the look I created with both these products is this, club kid style makeup. As always I will be uploading a tutorial video of how I created this look on my YouTube this Thursday so make sure your subscribed.

Back to Work and Kat Von D Makeup Look.

This week has been a struggle in part and a triumph in others. I've started my phase back return to teaching hair and media makeup at college last Monday and it went positively. I only went in for a meeting with my manager who were really supportive with the whole situation and then went to see my level 3 students. 
I have to say that the hardest thing with this health problem is not being able to finish the students through their qualification and just not being there to see how they progress their creativity through the year. Thankfully I have had the most amazing lady taking over and helping out, Lisa, she has been a total star with all of this and really helped out the students. So seeing them again was amazing, even if that was their last session being signed off their assessments.
The morning went really well but then a massive migraine hit me which lasted the rest of the day and the following day. When this happens I can't help but feel a bit useless and like am going backwards but I realise it can't be helped, and this whole thing is to test out the medication and increase it when it needs it; till I've found the right dosage.

Enough of the life story, time for the makeup! As you may of realised am currently trying to get both this blog and my YouTube off the ground with uploads every Monday for blogs and every Thursday for new videos.
Today's blog and video (which will be uploaded on Thursday) will be a makeup look using Kat Von D 10th Anniversary Collection and some other brands which I'll list. I also have finally be able to use my Unicorn Cosmetics brushes and lashes for this look! Which are amazing quality and are super unique. I absolutely love my unicorn brushes and my heat sensitive Halloween brushes!!







Its be great getting back to playing about with my makeup again, I think its really therapeutic for me. I've got a load of ideas in my head that I want to get recorded. But I do love this metallic look with the blue and gold lips.

I think my favourite product out of the new collection has to be the glimmer veil in "Gold Skool", that colour is beautiful and can be applied over any colour of lipstick for a pop of luxury. You can also use them on the eyes.


One of the most amazing things about Kat Von D's products is they are vegan as well as being designed to be used on both eyes and lips. So that blue pencil used for my eyes is the same as the one I used for my lips.
