When I put makeup on, while I have mainstays for things like eyeliner and foundation, I love having as much assortment as possible for colorful things like eye shadow. Especially for costuming, I think it is fun to use kits, rather than having to plan and decide in advance exactly which colors to buy. Manic Panic Collection does a variety of color kits with a nice flamboyant assortment of makeup...
To be honest, I've never really liked Manic Panic cosmetics, the quality just isn't there.
But I totally respect the company for being animal friendly, and their hair dyes are a staple
for us crazy-haired freaks. I think I need to test out their false lashes.
I've only used their hair dyes, which have been extremely hit-or-miss depending on the color.
Yep, I agree. I've had mixed results. One brand that has yet to disappoint me? Special Effects.Quote:

that's because special effects is the bomb-diggity.
That's three votes of confidence over the course of a month in a brand I'd never heard of before or seen for sale anywhere. I guess we'll grab some off the internets the next time Izta needs dye.

hmm...is your hair currently dyed using special effects? if so, what colour? im looking for a purple/violet similar to what you had in your "My Recent Shoot (Includes tits...and bondage!)" pix.Quote:

I like VF well enough, anyway, although this'd be the first thing I buy from them.
aXa: I use Special Effects "Deep Purple." It usually starts off a very dark bluish purple (almost black) and lightens to a bright magenta as you wash it. I haven't dyed mine in a few months and it's still very purple. (Except for the god-awful roots).
Raza: I looked into getting it on ebay as well, but the shipping is where they get you. VF is by far the best deal I've found on the internet yet, even with the $1 price increase.
you will absolutely love it. seriously.Quote:
