Halloween Costumes for a White-Blond Bob?

As an adult, my Halloween track record isn’t the best—up until a few years ago, my go-to costume was a black cat. Okay, granted, each year my token feline getup got progressively feather hair extension more scandalous (like every twentysomething girl, I went through a slutty-costume phase). But the past couple of Halloweens I’ve tried to be more creative. Two years ago, I went dressed as (a less scantily clad) Jennifer Beals from Flashdance. To mimic her mass of ringlets, I twisted my damp hair into a million different braids the night before and let them all hang loose the next day. (An oversized sweatshirt combined with funky leggings and legwarmers and I was ready to bust a move!) Last year, I let my lace wigs now-cancelled TV show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Using fake blood and silver eye shadow I attempted to create a terminator-like wound around my eye, but only succeeded in looking like a victim of skin-eating bacteria. Nevertheless, my black biker jacket and the “come with me if you want to live” logo emblazoned across my t-shirt provided some fellow sci-fi nerds with clues…So now we come to this year—as you may have seen, I went to the M.A.C Pro Store in Chelsea to get transformed into Lady Gaga for ELLE.com's Halloween Makeover video. As much as I love her music, though, I’m not sure I want to be Gaga for Halloween. Because, for one thing, I’m sure I’ll get upstaged by some fabulous-looking drag queen (according to the M.A.C Pro Store, most of the Lady Gaga makeup requests have come from men!). Which leaves me between a rock and a hard place—or does it? The other day, I was hit with the idea of being (again, a more conservative version) of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You know, when she’s hot off Sunset Boulevard and waltzes into the fancy-schmantzy hotel for front lace wigs the first time. Though I’ll pass on baring my non-existent six-pack, over-the-knee boots are hot right now and I think that, combined with my wig, it could make for a good combo. On the other hand, I’m still superobsessed with the Mad Men era and could easily turn out a Twiggy or Edie Sedgwick look.What direction do you think I should go? Or, better yet, do you have any more ideas on how I can utilize my white-blond bob from Ricky’s NYC? Let me know!—Emily HebertFollow ELLE on Twitter

My Favorite Synthetic Wig Of All Time!

Yeah which is exact ladies I mentioned it, my wanted artificial wig of all time. I possess a substantial assortment of wigs, some which i like and will positioned on many occasions over and over, then there are individuals which i experienced been just disappointed with. after which there will be the types which i just adore and will purchase much over once. This particular wig I am referring to feather hair extension is Freya over the brand new Born zero marketing price wig collection. When I earliest do the evaluation for this particular wig I took it out the pack and was not gratified on account of the reality it in reality looked so plastic material and artificial and so wiggy. I even now attempted Freya on, brushed her out possessing a paddle brush which made a world of difference, Freya took on the complete many different look, a much more organic and natural and realistic look. A glance that arrived out i experienced been placing on a severely splendid yaki texture individual curly hair weave. This wig in reality resembled yaki individual curly hair texture. The excellent design and length, using the exact amount of flowing loose curls. definitely that is ordinarily a artificial wig and most artificial wigs do not last as extended when you would like them to and occasionally are just difficult to maintain, but this wig gave me no troubles whatsoever possessing a artificial wig. Freya type of reminds me of the Megan splendid curly hair design but not possessing applying the whole lace, or weave tracks as well as not possessing the huge price. Now I do not ordinarily purchase much over among the identical wig, but this wig exact here, yeah this wig lace wigs exact right here I have three of and just ordered a few of more. Who would have actually believed which i would arrive throughout the excellent artificial wig! You can rock her through any season, she could be the reality that fierce that she is ordinarily a rock-able at any time wig. Freya in my ideas and opinions will provide you with that attractive vixen look, after which in the identical time provide you with the near to the way in which woman look, the organization look, as well as the yeah I just obtained my curly hair executed look. She is ordinarily a should have in any wig wearers collection. Freya is ordinarily a keeper and when I say a keeper I show the longevity is lengthy as well as you can design her many different ways. Now my trick to placing on this wig is placing it on only a tiny crocked with among the ear tabs only a tiny at the rear of just one of your ears, that way it will make the bangs swoop from an angle and just pulling only a tiny of your non-public curly hair out for the element especially where that ear tab is at the rear of you ear will give it a much more organic and natural appearance. New Born zero marketing price has not frequently been an enormous strike to me, but with this wig which have passed my expectations with regards to some artificial wig. I just wish that this wig does not get discontinued as some wigs do. If you are thinking about looking at her out please do not purchase the earliest just one you see, meaning research near to for the internet to the most inexpensive one, I say this cause there are so front lace wigs many internet sites that are marketing her for much over I would pay, $35 is ordinarily only a tiny steep in my pockets when I have found out her for $22, which means you do the math. look at out Ebony on collection for Freya. But severely she is ordinarily a should have and my all time wanted artificial wig.
