Wishlist #1 Oversized and Baggy


I always try and compile a wishlist and add items I really like and once payday arrives I aim to buy one or two items from it. I have noticed I have recently developed a thing for oversized and baggy tees and shirts.





1. I love this ASOS Oversized T-Shirt with Noir Print, £18 from Asos. In fact everyone else must have too because it was sold out when I first saw it!


2. This All-Over Money Print Shirt is £40 from Topshop. Ciara was spotted wearing this and the matching trousers at her most recent BET Awards performance. I love it, some people may find it a bit in your face. I'm sure there are cheaper dupes around.




3. How affordable is this Cameo Rose Blue Tiger T-Shirt from New Look, it is only £9.99. I think it would look so good with black leather look trousers.



4. I adore this ASOS Baseball Button Through Top, especially since baseball jerseys are so expensive! It's £20.

5. Finally is this plain  ASOS Oversized Tank Top with Neck Rib, £12. I really love the fit of this top and it just looks so comfy.

I Wish I Wish!

Every month (I will try to keep my list short to 4 items just 1x month) I will do a blog post about allll the lovely hair related products I really wish I could buy if I had endless money. I got the idea from here with the hope of writing this blog post being therapeutic and eliminating my need to buy these items, pssh yeah right!


1. This is Mercedes 





Blurb:
*LOVESTRUCK* this is a synthetic lace front wig, but omg she is just amazing! I want her, I need her, I must have her. I have been looking for a human hair wig with a bang for aages but I've heard nothing but good things about Sassy Secret (which is where she is from). She would cost about $160 inc delivery (£120).







2. April

Blurb: April* is beautiful Light Yaki loose curl Lace front Wig.  The hair has been textured to mimic African American hair with a beautiful curl pattern. The hair has a matte finish (no fake shine) making it look amazingly like human hair! If you are looking for a great inexpensive Undetectable Hair replacement solution, synthetic lace wigs are a great option. Very affordable, perfect for a woman who wants a low maintenance, wash and go hair style that looks Great every time. Unlike Human Hair, Synthetic wigs maintain their style and shape even after several Washes.

April is made of a high quality heat resistant synthetic fiber known as Natura.  Natura fiber creates the most natural looking luster embodied hair that simulates human hair.  This sought after material is soft, light-weight, more manageable, and lasts longer than other synthetic fibers.  Natura is the most practical and realistic looking fiber and has been extensively used by top wig designers for many years. Natura is the most natural looking synthetic fiber, best simulates human hair. The most resilient fiber, withstands washing and wearing durability. Natura is the easiest synthetic fiber to style and is heat resistant up to 400 degrees.

Say Hello to April! She is yummy- literally every time I see her on Sassy Secret I feel like whipping out my card and buying it! Again she would cost about £120, she is so divalicious! I am not one for biiig hair but sometimes I do want to try big diva Beyoncesque hair. I think this would be great for a night out, she is quite long so whether or not she'd tangle easily I'm not sure. Maybe I should look at the clearance section of this site. This is a synthetic lace front as well. She comes with 3 inches of parting space!

 3. Remington Pearl Hair Curling Wand Ci95,  £25.49

Blurb: The latest in styling innovation, this Remington Pearl Hair Curling Wand Ci95 has a high-tech barrel with an innovative coating that makes it super smooth. Precious pearl power incorporated into the Advanced Ceramic coating of the barrel makes it eight times smoother and five times longer lasting than standard Ceramic wands. No snagging or catching, the wand glides effortlessly through the hair to create super sleek high definition curls. Want to create movement with waves or curls then the Remington Pearl Wand Ci95 is the wand for you. No traditional tong clamp – just wrap strands of hair around the smooth conical barrel, holding the cool tip at the end and in seconds create boho-chic bouncy curls with just a twirl.
So Hot!
With a high-tech lockable digital display and the widest heat range on the market (130-210°C) you can be in complete control of the temperature that has just the right curl power for you. The Remington Pearl Wand Ci95 heats up in a speedy 30 seconds so you can be the first to hit the town.
Lust-Have, Must-Have
Not only does Remington Pearl perform to perfection, but it looks stunning too. High gloss black contrasts with a subtle and stylish oriental cherry blossom motif to create a curling wand that should be on everyone’s lust-have wish list.
This curling wand- the curls it creates omg. It always gives fantastic results whenever used in any youtube video I have seen. I think this would be a good replacement for my babyliss tong b/c I cannot create curls as easily as I would with this. I would like to purchase a heat protective glove as well to prevent any accidents too.
4. Pantene Relaxed and Natural Dry to Moisturized Shampoo, £5.99
Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural Dry to Moisturized Shampoo
Blurb: Pantene Relaxed and Natural Dry to Moisturized Shampoo is rich Pantene Pro vitamin shampoo has moisturizing conditioners that hydrate hair and help relieve scalps dryness with every wash. It can help dry, brittle hair look healthy and irresistibly shiny. Used as part of a system with Pro V Relaxed and Natural . Intensive Moisturizing Conditioner, it helps: Protect hair against damage to keep it healthy looking . Fortify hair with essential oils to keep it strong against damage, soft, manageable and shiny . Gently cleanse chemically relaxed, pressed or natural hair .
Ingredients:
This product's reviews actually surprised me. It has been praised a lot on a few natural hair blogs for it's ability to moisturise even the driest, coarsest of hair. I guess I want to try due to curiosity and also because it can be purchased from Pak Cosmetics so it's quite accessible and there are no excessive delivery charges. The product range also has two conditioners, moisturiser and a spray, I also like the range for its versatility b/c it can obviously be used on both relaxed and natural hair textures. I couldn't find a list of ingredients though on their website.

Wishlist...

Thanks so far to everyone who has followed me- I just realised I have 13 followers so hey!
I did make a resolution not to buy more things/hair products, but I needed a heat protector spray that also gave great hold for my rollersets/braidouts/flexi rod sets so I bought Elasta QP Design Silk Spray £1.59 (about $2.50).
I love the Elasta QP and Organic Root Stimulator line and mostly stick to these ranges for products. My exceptions are my carrot oil, Herbal Essences beautiful ends leave-in and my VO5 clarifying shampoo/conditioner. I am tempted to try Elasta QP's DPR-11 deep conditioner instead oy my ORS Hair Mayonnaise but we'll see when I run out.
I also want to buy this:
http://www.superdrug.com/conditioner/aussie-3-minute-miracle-deep-conditioner-250ml/invt/286120/
Aussie 3 minute miracle and use this as a moisturising deep conditioner. I'm slightly worried that I'm DCing with Hair Mayonnaise 2x week which is a protein DC so I may alternate with the Aussie (though I've heard the smell is dreadful!).
Oh and another item:
Babyliss Hard Hooded Hair Dryer think it's about £20.

Two things I've decided after my relaxer:
1. My next relaxer is April 8th 2011 , so this means a 10 week stretch (my longest was 9 weeks)
2. I want to start rollersetting after co-washing so I need to buy some magnetic rollers. I think I will rollerset on wet hair 1x week and do a braidout 1x week on wet hair.

But as my hair is relaxed now expect more hair tutorials on things like flexi rods, roller setting, braidouts etc.
hhj :)
