The Cursed Child Review

Hey guys,

I hope you enjoyed all the posts that went up whilst I was away. I had an amazing holiday, it was the perfect temperature and we got to do so much!

After I got back, I went to the Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden and it was a-maz-ing! I will do a post on it soon to give you all a sneak peak into what there is there. On the same day, I borrowed 'The Cursed Child' and I couldn't wait to read it. There has been so much attention on this story and originally I wasn't sure if it would be able to live up to the original series but it was so well written and I adored it! Absolutely adored it!


It is written as a script and I managed to devour the whole book in 2 hours, a new record, even for me! Once I started reading it, I just couldn't stop! I even forgot to eat breakfast I was so captivated by the story. It ties in aspects of the original 7 books but also adds new information. There are shocking aspects and heartwarming aspects alike, and every little part just felt like it all fitted in perfectly.

It is definitely worth the money and the time, especially if you're a total potterhead like me! It just added almost all of the information I was so intrigued by at the end of the 7th book. However, I'm not going to tell you the big secret, you're going to have to read it yourself to find it out.

I really hope you have a read, and I really hope you love it as much as I do!

Love you all x

Makeup revolution eyeliner review

Hey guys,

A while ago, whilst I was searching for different coloured lipsticks, I stumbled upon the makeup revolution website. It had a load of different products that I had never seen in any Superdrug stores. I saw this eyeliner and was pretty surprised that it was only £1.50. I originally thought it had to be not so good quality-wise as other, more high-end eyeliners but I was very pleasantly surprised! It was very easy to apply and the brush nib is a good size to create a cute little flick.
The best thing about it was that it was waterproof, and by waterproof I definitely mean it was about as waterproof as it could get. It might have been slightly too long lasting though as it was slightly hard to get off using my wipes and micellar water. I did like how it would stay put if I accidentally wiped my eyes or something though. It made me a bit more confident that I wouldn't end up with eyeliner on my chin by the end of the day!


I hope you don't mind that this post was slightly shorter, but I think short and sweet reviews are the easiest to read (and the easiest to write) and you get more of an accurate opinion. I also had to improvise a little on the photo because just as I wanted to take it, it started raining...

I hope you are all having a lovely week!

Love you all

Nutty Putty Review

Hei,

I hope you guys have had a great few weeks, sorry there wasn't a post up last week! Sorry about the quality of the photos, I took them with my phone and, even though I try really hard, they never come out how I want them. Today's post is all about Nutty Putty.



Nutty putty is a mouldable 'clay' that goes rubbery when it is bakes. I say 'clay' because I'm not actually sure whether that is what it's supposed to be called, it can be used to mould things, like clay, but it has a putty consistency (hence Nutty 'Putty').


We brought the box with 8 colours for £18 at Christmas and gave it a go. It was actually really fun to do. The putty has such a nice feel and you can mould it into so many different shapes! In the box you get plastic knives and spatulas, a rolling pin, a play mat to use it on, so you don't damage any surfaces, a baking sheet and small shape cutters, like a dolphin and heart. The colours you get are: red, blue, green, yellow, pinky/purple, black, white and a glow in the dark one. They come in little re-sealable bags so you can keep them from drying out between uses. 




Myself and my brother had a great time making all of the little creations and they are randomly dotted around the house at the moment. They go pretty solid but still squishy and rubbery after baking, which meant they couldn't be broken so easily! It is a great set for pretty much any age and is great fun too. It would also be good for children (over 4) to develop how they use their hands and really help their imagination! 

Sorry this is such a quick post today, and sorry for any spelling errors, I tried to type as quickly as possible as I'm now going out to a concert with my cousin and am pretty sure I'm already late! Oops!

I hope you guys have a really lovely week, and don't forget to guess this week's language!

Love, Grace x

All The Bright Places

Hola,

Sorry the post is late up, I was writing an email of complaint to EE for giving me a bad voucher code. Anyway, today I finished reading 'All The  Bright Places' by Jennifer Niven, and it was brilliant! One of my friends recommended it to me (and has been waiting patiently for me to finish it), so thanks for introducing me to such a great book.

The first thing is that I love the overall look of the book. It is light and pastel, and covered in images of sticky notes, which is cool. I think I'm also automatically drawn to anything blue, I seem to have a lot of blue books and general items!


The story is devastatingly lovely and had all the feels flowing. As it started, I wasn't sure where it was going, but as the story progressed, it really developed and pulled me in. The alternating chapters between Violet and Finch's POV gives a lot of depth to the story and allows you to see how two separate characters see the world and situations around them.

When I finish a book, if it is a good one, with an interesting storyline, then I will spend a few days, maybe a week, contemplating what happened. It is true, when people say that a story will stay with you. There are only a select few that actually make this list for me, some have a great story whilst others just kind of fade, not that they aren't great works, they're just not my thing. In the words of Melissa Marr, "Life is too short to read books I'm not enjoying."

The advice I will give, without trying to give any spoilers, is that you will need tissues. The book deals with some very serious issues around mental illnesses. It also is written more for friends of those suffering from mental illness. There is also a section in the back filled with helplines for people to call if you know someone who is going though it, or are yourself. Niven was able to call on past experiences to aid in the writing of the book, which I think really adds a whole new layer and perspective to the story and the tragedy of it.

I hope you guys have a lovely rest of the weekend and a lovely week!

Barry M - Gelly Hi Shine

Hi guys,

About 3 months ago I ordered a couple of things from Superdrug. It was mostly because I wanted to get a nail polish they were including if you spent £7, but I wanted to try out this because I think I was going through a phase of buying the same coloured products. I actually brought 2 lipsticks on the same day that were almost exactly the same colour, from 2 different brands. I also have 3 nail polishes all the same colour too.


I really love the colour and how well pigmented it is, and it comes out really well on the lips. It's got a creamy feel too, it doesn't feel like it is drying out the lips like some products. For some strange reason it smells and tastes like skittles. I have no idea how they managed it but it's kind of nice!


The only downside is that there is not very much in the tube so it probably wont last very long, which is annoying because I don't like buying a lot of the same thing over. Especially if it doesn't have much in it.

I'm sorry this is such a short post today, and that it went up at such an awkward time. Happy Valentines day and I hope you all have a lovely week!

Love, Grace x

Teen Parcel Review

Hey guys,

Sorry there wasn't a post last week! I had mock exams all week and was trying to revise all weekend. This was the post that was supposed to go up.



Back in September I entered the Teen Parcel 500 competition and won a parcel (woo!). It took a little while to receive it, but I completely understand that they're quite a small company. I ended up receiving it actually on my birthday, which was a nice surprise! I loved the packaging straight away, It's very girly and the colours all tie in very well. I think it would be incredibly sweet for a young girl to receive in the post to cheer her up at that time of the month.


I opened it up and it was all neatly packaged in. (Quick disclaimer: I haven't had the chance to try the mascara or eye-glitter yet, even though I've had them a month!) There's a little information card giving some details about the company and what they do. They also included a little box with 2 tampons in, which is good for just keeping in your bag.

I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of products in the box. It was positively crammed full of little bits. The was a Binky mascara, that looks like it would be quite good for lengthening, and a glitter loose eye-shadow with a little eyeshadow brush. It looks like a good one for both applying and blending out. The glitter is quite colourful and it would look great with a darker eye.




Also in the box were these Bandzee hairbands. They're very cute, girly colours, and I love that they don't contain any metal fixings that always end up getting stuck in my hair. They also look like they wouldn't pull out any hair at all because they're not overly stretchy, so they can't be over-tightened when I tie my hair up. I also love how there are little sayings on the card they're held on.




The last thing in the box was this little bracelet. It is made of twisted string and has a cute little charm on it. It is a small-ish size, more suited to a child, so I'm going to give it to my friend Frankie, because I think she would love it!


I would like to say a massive thank you to Teen Parcel for my prize, It has a lot of very cool things inside that I may keep for myself but also may give to people I know will love them.

I hope you all have a lovely week!

Love, Grace x

'Spy' - Review

Hey guys,

I hope you've all had a lovely week! Sorry this post wasn't up yesterday, There wasn't nearly enough time in the evening for me to write one. Anyway, as some of you may know, it was my birthday on Thursday. My family and I ordered pizza and watched a film. Originally I wasn't sure which film I wanted to see, but during the day, my Dad went out and bought 'Spy'. I actually did want to see it when it came out in the cinema but never got round to watching it.

When it starts, you're a little skeptical as to whether or not it is going to be funny. However, as the film progresses, it is! It is the funniest film I have seen in a while! Some people may not find it particularly funny as there is some rude humour and they swear quite a bit...

Melissa McCarthy is definitely one of my favourite actresses! She is very funny and in some pretty good films (like Bridesmaids). The film also had Miranda Hart, Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law, who all put on a fantastic performance!

It's the kind of film that you probably shouldn't watch in the presence of younger children or people who are easily offended. It is actually very funny and is definitely worth a watch.

This post feels a little short today but there's not much more I can say about the film!

I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Soulmates - Review

Hey guys!

I'm so sorry for not posting last weekend; it was a busy couple of days! The post I was going to do is going to take a little more time than I originally planned, so I figured a review was a good plan.

"Every so often two people are born who are the perfect match for one another. Soulmates. But what if meeting your soulmate is earth-shattering - literally? An epic, electrifying debut about falling in love"


One of my friends lent me this book, we tend to lend each other books and films (or TV series' like Supernatural) that we think the other would like. Well, it's mostly her lending me things but you catch my drift. She said when she gave it to me that it was one to evoke emotions, so I was warned, but definitely not  prepared! 'Soulmates' by Holly Bourne has probably jumped to somewhere near the top of my list of favourite books. It doesn't quite beat the Harry Potter series or 'Finding Sky' by Joss Stirling, but it's definitely a contender! The book is beautifully written and the development of both the story-line and the characters was amazing! You really feel like you are bonding with the characters, the sarcastic protagonist, Poppy; the gorgeous Noah. You even feel like you know Poppy's Mum!


The emotions in the story are kind of like being on a rollercoaster, and when you get off you either feel pumped or like you need to lay down for a bit! I think the descriptions really add to this, they go into depth but not so much that you feel it is too descriptive and OTT. There were quite a few unexpected scenarios but you feel like you're there with the characters, seeing what they see and feeling whatever they feel. I was so drawn in that I never wanted it to end but it did *sad face* and I was just left sitting there at the table in the staff room at work, with a half eaten sandwich, thinking about life...

It may sound cheesy, but I really love it when a book draws you in so much that you feel like you have fallen in love with it. Yeah, that does sound cheesy... I think that's enough geeky-ness for today!

I hope you guys all have a wonderful! But if you're having a bad time, just remember that it wont always be so bad. We all have those times but remember, there are people out there who love you, they just might not show or tell you outright. It'll all be ok.

Love, Grace x

It's that red lips time of year!

Hey guys!

I hope you have all had a wonderful week! I cannot believe it is already November! I think someone pressed fast-forward on September and October! Yesterday I went to see a 'talk' called Safe Drive Stay Alive and it was so harrowing! It really made me think about driving safely (not that i'm not planning to drive safely when I turn 17!), even when it's not me actually driving. If you're from the UK and your school or college offers it, I would definitely recommend going, even if you don't  plan on driving immediately after you turn 17, it also focused on how you can avoid an accident if you're a passenger of someone driving riskily. I'll put a link to their website here if you want to go and have a look. I do have to say though, what they say is very hard-hitting and sometimes upsetting but at least it gets the point across.

Anyway, onto the post. The past few weeks have been DIY posts so I thought throwing in a good ol' review would be fun. Around this time of year, make-up looks start getting a little darker and more dramatic. Basically, the red, purple and brown lipsticks come out to play. This is the first year that I've tried a slightly darker lipstick and, I have to say, I love it! I went out a few weeks ago and brought 2 types, a lip crayon and a regular lipstick. I wasn't really expecting them to both be the same colour, as the colour of the outer shell looked different but it actually worked out well for me! I now have 2 different types, that are suited to different budgets, to share. I haven't really tried out the Make-up Revolution one much yet, but it'll probably be just as good as the other one from Revlon I have.

The Revlon lip crayon is in the colour Fiery Flamboyante (270) and was £7.99. I'll be the first to admit that I wouldn't usually pay that much for something like a lipstick, but this one has definitely been worth it! I wore it out to a meal with my friends about a week ago and it stayed put the whole time I was eating, and I only touched it up afterwards because I'd wiped off some from the edge. It has some serious staying power and is also pretty easy to apply!


The Make-up Revolution lipstick is just a traditional lipstick in the colour 'Reckless'. It's pretty much the same as the Revlon crayon, except it's £1 instead of almost £8. Considering how little it costs, it's actually a pretty great lipstick. There's a little pot on the end (the bit with the colour) with lipstick inside but I have no idea why it's there, so if anyone knows, please tell me!


This last piece is just a lipliner from New Look. It doesn't have a particular colour but I'm pretty impressed with my colour matching skills as I brought it (for £1.99) without knowing if it was actually a good match or not. Turns out, it is, so I'm very happy with it. The price isn't really really high either, which means that it won't break the bank for anyone wanting to buy it.


I hope you all have a lovely week. If you're watching any fireworks tonight, then have fun and make sure you take an umbrella, particularly if you live in the South East!

Love, Grace x

Ted Baker Nail Polish Review

Hey guys!

I'm really sorry I forgot it was Saturday! I've gone the whole day thinking it was Sunday and it was only when the post came that I remembered! You can always tell when I've dipped into my back-up post photos when they have snow in them!


I've actually been wanting to do this post for a while because the nail polishes are really good and I've had them for a couple of years. There are 4 in the set I have, gold, black, sparkly silver and a really pale pink. 


I'll start with the box, it's a really pretty pink all over but the lid has some very pretty designs on the top and inside. I'm pretty sure it's made of aluminium and is quite light without the polish in it so I may end up using it for something else. 


The polishes themselves are pretty runny and originally I thought this would be a bad thing, but it actually helps it go on. All but the silver one require 2 coats but it dries pretty quickly so it's not the end of the world. 2 coats of the silver would give a very very sparkly finish which is still cool but sometimes you just want it a little more low-key. The colours are a perfect set in my opinion too. The pink is perfect as an everyday wear and the black, silver and gold are great for a more flashy look. 


They're all-round great to be honest! 

I hope you all have a lovely week!

Until next time

Review: Matched by Ally Condie

Hey guys,

Have you ever read a book that you think you should love but just don't? Matched is exactly like that for me. It just didn't excite my imagination and make me want to never put it down...




Don't get me wrong, Condie is a very talented writer and the language she uses flows brilliantly, but the story just didn't grip me like the other books I read do. The first few pages were good enough that it made me want to take the book away with me but that was pretty much where it stopped. *I'm really sorry if you love this book!* The plot itself, I was expecting to be riveting because when I read the back of the book when I brought it, I thought it actually looked quite good. However, I think the last line on the back of the book, 'And that's when her whole world starts to unravel...', gives the wrong idea. Her life doesn't completely fall apart, there's a few things that happen, but they're not explained enough for me to actually think that they are all that bad. 



I found I wasn't reading the book as quickly as I usually do and just didn't really care what happened. I hate having to say that though, because the writer has put so much time and effort into it and, in this case, Condie brought out a further 2 books in the trilogy, which I'm not at all sure whether I should read and see whether they're better than the first!  

I've read a few reviews of the book from other people and, although there are some really good reviews, there's also quite a few like mine. However, some of them said that the last 70 or so pages were great but I just don't really feel that! There's probably about 20 pages in the whole book that actually completely had my attention but as the whole thing is 366 pages long, that isn't really good enough for me. I'm kind of glad I didn't pay £6.99 for it, and instead found it in a charity shop for about £2! 

Even though I didn't particularly like this book, you might, so I'm in no way saying 'don't read it!' If the story line appeals to you, I'd suggest giving it a go! Sometimes it takes the slightly poor books to make you really appreciate the good ones!


Until next time

Zoella 'Blissful Mistful' Review

Hey guys!

Welcome to another lovely Wednesday! 

This body mist was something that I wanted to buy for quite a long time! I've watched Zoe's YouTube channel for years and when she released the range I automatically wanted to buy it but whenever I went to Superdug, they were sold out! It took until now (when she released the new range) for me to buy it! However, I thought it would make a good review. 



This body mist has such a beautiful smell! Fruity, floral and fresh. It just adds an extra lift each morning when I spray it! It isn't overpowering in any way but holds it's scent very well! At first I was a little skeptical about spending £8 on it but turns out, I'm using it a lot slower than I first expected! It's only gone down a little bit from when I first bought it and now, which is great! 

The bottle is also really cute! The dots on the back can be seen through the bottle which really adds to the pretty-ness of the liquid inside. I absolutely love the colour of the lid and how it ties in with the colour of the writing. It is just all super adorable and I love it!

Have a lovely few days guys! I really can't wait for you to read next Wednesday's post and I hope you enjoyed last Saturday's post!


Until next time

In The Buff - Review

Hey guys!

Again, I'm sorry this didn't go up when I said it would! I think it's because I'm going away on Wednesday and I keep finding things I need to do! Like write a few posts that I can put up when I have wifi! 

I didn't realise, but the photos for this post were from ages ago, so they're in what little snow we had here in January! I hope they don't make you feel too cold...



I brought this eye shadow set last August, when I was in Wales and I instantly knew I loved all the colours and they would get good use! I wrote about it in my Wales haul post last year but put that there were only 2 matte shades and didn't really go into much detail. (When I took the pictures, I'll admit, they look hardly used but I'm not known for wearing particularly heavy eye shadow except at special occasions, so in 4 months, they weren't used too thickly). 



9 of the shadows have a slight shimmer, not too much but it is there enough for you to know it is kind of shimmery, if that makes sense! The other 3 are matte and are perfect for highlighting the brow bone or shading in the crease to give a bit more definition. The one I use for highlighting (Buff) has a slight yellow tinge (but only slightly), which I think just gives it a little bit more of a lightening effect. It is the kind of colour that I would say is a really milky pink with a tiny drop of yellow (which is the colour I ended up with when I was painting a face back at the beginning of year 10! (Let's just say, it didn't go well and they made me re-do the piece! The girl looked pretty much like a ghost and a very ill one at that!) The other matte shades are Onyx (which I'm pretty sure is just black) and Chocolate (a really subtle brown that defines perfectly). 

(I had to make this picture extra large so you could read the names! Hence why it goes off the page slightly.)


I only really use a couple of the colours on a daily basis (Sand, Chocolate, Earth, Buff and sometimes Dust), so I think I need to be slightly more experimental with my colours! All of the shades are incredibly pigmented and I think it is totally worth the £7 I paid for it! It is kind of like a cheaper dupe for the Naked palettes (there were other colour varieties in the Next I got it from). The brush that comes with it is pretty good but I don't tend to use it much as I have a couple of brushes that I think are pretty good already. They're not exactly high-end but they're good all the same! 

Have a lovely day! I'm going to post again on Sunday (This time I really do promise!) and it should be another DIY post. After this week, the posts will hopefully be up on Saturdays and Wednesdays again but it all depends on where and when I get wifi really. 

Until next time

Make-up Revolution Setting Spray Review

Hey guys!

I hope you are having a lovely weekend! I can't really tell if this week has gone slowly or quickly to be honest! 

I wasn't going to do a review this weekend but since this was a very recent purchase and I used it this week I decided to review it. It was £5 and at first I saw one from MUA was slightly hesitant to buy it as the bottle was quite small but I saw this make-up revolution one had more in it for the same price.



I was a little bit skeptical about this product even though people tend to say setting sprays are pretty good. I was actually pleasantly surprised! I put some on for Prom to see if it would work (which was a little risky as I'd never used it and didn't know if my face would react or anything and I had to be out the door 10 minutes later)! 

It does a very good job! My foundation didn't end up too oily throughout the night, even though it was very hot and we were dancing for a long time! The most impressive thing for me though, was that my eye-shadow didn't crease! Usually, it ends up looking a little meh after a while. 

The bottle is also a strong point for me as it is very sleek and thin which makes it easy to take with you. It includes some rose gold coloured plastic and it makes it look very cool! Each spray doesn't use much of the liquid so I think this will definitely last a while! Now that it is getting warmer I think it will probably be a bigger part in my make-up routine as usually, when it's hot, my make-up goes everywhere!

I'd definitely recommend this product to you if you have trouble getting your make-up to stay put because it should last for 12 hours, but I haven't checked this as I didn't have my make-up on for 12 hours. It's also good if you just want a bit more security knowing that you don't have to check whether your eyeliner has made it halfway down your face yet! 

As I said in my tweet yesterday, I decided to add a few photos from my prom to the end of this post so that you could see what I wore! It was so amazing and I loved getting to have such a great time with all my friends! There are quite a few people who are moving or going to college so I'm so glad I got the chance to say goodbye to them! The colour scheme was blue and silver which was great as my whole outfit was pretty much blue and silver! Where we had it was so beautiful inside and the ceiling had twinkling lights to look like stars on it! It was so so beautiful!

My dress, bag and shoes were all from Quiz and the jewelery was from Primark. I was pretty happy with what my make-up looked like too, especially as I didn't have a clue what I was going to do until I started putting it on, and had to re-do my eyes several times as my eyeliner went wrong!




Have a lovely rest of the weekend guys and enjoy your week!

Until next time

Make-up Revolution Nail Polish Review

Hey guys,

Wow, this week has been such a long one! I felt like it would never end, but here we are and I don't think a weekend has ever come sooner! I wanted to do this review sooner rather than later as the colour is more of a winter-y one. It even snowed last night so the backdrop is winter-y too!

I picked up this nail polish a while ago but haven't got round to doing a review yet. Since I'm on a bit of a low with time for doing new DIY ideas this week I thought now would be a great time to add it in!

This nail polish is from make-up revolution and it's Heaven's Above 05. I don't think I've seen this brand anywhere before but since it's not really expensive I thought I'd give it a go and to see how it is. This nail polish was only £1.00 and I think a lot of their other products are around the same price. It's a really nice purple-y maroon. I think this is definitely more of a winter colour and it would go quite nicely with a nice outfit, possibly black or grey maybe. 



I quite like the simple bottle, it's a very sleek shape and there's something about it that I can't quite put my finger on. The actual polish seems a little watery but it went on fine. If I'd had to just do a quick coat before going somewhere then one coat would have been fine. However, a second adds a very rich layer of colour and I think it is such a classy look!



I don't know whether this precise colour is available anymore which is a shame but make-up revolution has a lot of other colours so I'm sure there is one similar! 



There is one fault with the polish however, it doesn't dry very quickly, I had to leave it a while before I was happy that it would be ok. Then, when it is dry, it is quite easy to chip, if you haven't had time to use a top coat! As this is the only fault I can find with this polish, I'd say it is a pretty good quality one! Especially as it was so cheap!

I found this lady's blog yesterday and she has some very good reviews for lots of different make-up brands including make-up revolution! I thought you might like to take a look and show her blog some love, it's really great and she does some very pretty make-up looks!




I hope you have a great weekend!


Until next time

Confetti nail polish review

Hey guys,

For this post I decided to review a nail polish that I've had a while. The camera really didn't want to pick up on the strands but I gave it a shot anyway. It is quite pretty in the bottle, lots of little strands of something, I'm not entirely sure what, but I think it may be plastic. 



Once I put it on one of my nails I didn't like it quite so much. It went on very well and a lot of confetti strands ended up on the nail on the first layer, compared to some glitter polishes that end up putting nothing on the nail. The blue one was quite pretty but I felt both polishes looked a lot prettier in the bottles. I decided, after painting a bare nail, to try it on a few other colours.



The first colour was called bubblegum and I tried it on white, black and light blue. My personal favourite was the black because it made the strands stand out, but the white looked quite cool for the winter since it's quite cold colours. 



The light blue nail was probably my least favourite as it didn't make the effect stand out at all and it didn't really have a particular 'wow factor'.


The next bottle holds a confetti effect that has the name 'dolly mixture'. It is made up of very pretty colours but together I thought they were a bit of a strange combination and I didn't like it as much as the blue one.


I tried to find some colours that would compliment it the best but I could only find a nude colour and a bright pink. The nude just looked the same as my original nail colour but the pink didn't look too bad. The camera doesn't really do any of the nails justice as the light kept reflecting off the shiny surface!



Each pot of polish is £3.99 and there are other colours. I think that the black one would look quite cool but maybe not the pink. The other colours I used were: MUA - white; Collection - blackjack 2; Barry M - Gelly, sugar apple; Barry M 342 nude and Barry M limited edition 2013. I don't think the limited edition pink is being sold any more but there are other options that look quite similar. Barry M - bright pink 279 that is £2.99 or there is also Barry M summer matte 7 Miami that is £3.99.

I still love the quality of Barry M but I can't say I will be rushing to buy any new confetti polishes! I'm not sure they're really my thing, but if you like this sort of nail look then I do recommend them! It does leave a lot of strands and I think, with the right back colour it would look lovely.

Until next time
