Suavecita Pomade For Ladies....and Wolverines

 

 Suavecita Pomade recently sent me a tub of their pomade to test drive.  It was a little exciting, yet daunting, as I am not a pomade 'person'.  This is due to not really knowing how it's used as opposed to spraying the crap out of my hairstyle with hairspray.

 

The opportunity came along with Miss 13 wanting to dress as Wolverine to last weekend's Melbourne Comic Con.  She wanted super high Victory Rolls to simulate Logan's swept back hairdo.

 

 

Pretty cool hey?

 

To get this look I first crimped her hair the night before with a 'fine crimp' crimper.  This gets the hair super thick which gets us the volume we need to sweep the hair up.  Bu the next morning her hair had lost a lot of it's volume (doh!) but there was still enough to achieve a roll.

 

I sectioned her hair down the middle and swept each side up, rolling as I went down the hair and securing with bobby pins.  Both sections met in the middle at the back of the head in a V shape.

 

This is where Suavecita pomade came to the test! 

At first opening, Miss 13 said it smelt really nice.  The texture is quite sticky immediately, and even after smoothing a glob of it around my fingers for awhile, I knew this pomade was going to hold any these rolls and any stray hairs in place.  I swept the product up, over and along each of the rolls, right to the end to secure their shape.  I then took a smaller second glob, smoothed it in my hands, then rang my hands up and over both rolls again to secure any stray hairs I missed the first time.

I thought pomade would make my hair look stiff but as you can see, the pomade didn't make Miss 13's hair look stiff at all.  Her hair was secure without looking wet and gel like.  She was at Comic Con for 10 hours and it held up the whole time!

So my first foray in the pomade world wasn't too scary after all.  I was quite impressed with the product.  The smell was nice, it was a pretty pink color and not an icky brown, you only need a very small glob so this tub will last forever and it held hair in place without looking like gel.

Miss 13 thought she looked pretty good.

Suavecita Pomade has it's own website selling products for men and women of all ages.  The pomade I reviewed retails for $11.99 USD.  They can also be found on Facebook and on Instagram.

Does anybody use Suavecito and what do you think?

Feathers, Holo and Glitter

I've had a Ciate Feathers pack staring me in the face for a few weeks now and decided to open it up and have a play.  The first manicure had me with feathers on all nails, and it looked rather silly.  So I took them all off bar the ring finger and skittled it instead.  I have the Jade black holo on my pointer, Cult Nails Fetish on my middle, Ciate feather system on my ring and Nubar Knights Armour with a matte top coat on my pinky.

Spectacular Thrifty Finds!

Driving through my town last Saturday saw me stumble on a Car Boot sale and me finding these fantastically wonderful 1950's Lucite sunglasses, encrusted with rhinestones!  To find anything like this in a Vintage shop within Australia is extremely rare, so to nab them at a local car boot jumble is a find in a lifetime.  They are in perfect condition with no missing rhinestones.  They are big, blinged out, and in ya' face....so they are completely ME.  I love them!

I found a 60's playsuit in deadstock condition at an Op Shop for $4.  They fit Miss 12 perfectly and she accessorised them with fake spectacles.

 

I can never pass up pretty embroidered things!  I found all these tablecloths, doilies and a cross stitch at one Op Shop for $12 total.

A fabulous mink and wool coat dated 1973 from an Op shop for $20.

And another kitsch squirrel to add to my Kitsch collection!  He has acorn salt and pepper shakers on his tree.  I also nabbed a 1940's How To decorate a cake booklet for $5.

How has everyone else's thrift luck been lately?

A Random Act Of Kindness

When I was fundraising for my Cousin Angie's illness back in January, a lot of the Australian nail community rallied to help.  I received more than bargained for donations and monetary offerings to help Angie and her family.

One nail obsessed friend, Kura, won a lot of our fundraising auctions we held on Facebook and on completing her wins, asked one of the donators; Llarowe to make up a couple of custom colors for Dead Set Babes and myself, for all our hard work we had done.  This was unexpectedly nice of her and just another example of human kindness that we aren't used to, and moves us considerably.

So, here is my custom color made especially for me by Llarowe and requested by Kura.  It's called Angels and is a super saturated rich Purple Holographic.  It's quite beautiful, just like my cousin Angie was.

 

Thank you again Kura.  And for everyone that donated to our fundraiser, it's was and still is all extremely appreciated. xx
