A smile makes my day.

It's been a while since I've talked about school, haha.

Today at school I was feeling very moody for some reason. I kept being oversensitive and kept thinking about negative things. The last few days, I've been feeling as if my 'best friend' is trying to steal a new friend I've made in class. Maybe I'm being selfish and possessive, I don't know. She ignores me completely when I try to join in their conversation - she doesn't even spare me a glance to acknowledge my presence. The new friend broke off in the middle of the convo to say hello to me, but my 'best friend' carried on talking as if I wasn't there.

I keep feeling that she's talking about stuff I don't understand on purpose, and she turns her back on me while facing my new friend so I couldn't say anything. This isn't the first time she has 'stolen' my friends. I used to be close with two other friends, but for some reason they started ignoring me and stopped listening to me after my 'best friend' befriended them. She also excludes me on purpose whenever I'm sitting with a group, and makes me move over so that I'm sitting alone in the corner. It's really strange. I don't know what she's doing that makes people like her so much. Did I do something wrong that made people dislike me?

Anyway, that's the basic story. Today we had the Tuesday programme so we (me, my new friend and 'best friend') walked to the boys' school (if you remember from one of my previous posts). Once we were 5 mins away from the school, we stopped at a bus stop where another group of girls from our school were sitting around since we still had some time left.

A boy from the boys' school who is in my class happened to be walking past and he smiled at me so I smiled back. Then he actually stopped to greet me properly and he asked me how I was. He was just talking to me casually and he even offered me some of the crisps he was eating (though I said no, lol). :D I was really surprised that he talked to me because I thought he'd just walk past. Plus he spoke only to me and wasn't trying to score with the group of girls I was with or anything, haha. He didn't even look at them once. I don't know how to explain the feeling but it made me feel special, as if I'm exclusive. It made me feel so much better since I was feeling so bitter and lonely this morning. He probably didn't think of it as anything, but really, I appreciated it so much. Thank you for cheering me up. <3

[Review] Clair Beauty Wig (dark brown)

Yay, finally a useful post at long last!

A few months ago I received the Clair Beauty wig my mom bought for me:

I got mine from Yahoo Taiwan's marketplace thing - not quite sure how to translate it to English. :x It came with a wig cap. I've seen the same wig is available on YesStyle.com as well as more wigs from Clair Beauty.

Here's a couple of pictures of the wig (I avoided filtering the photos so that they look as close to as in real life as possible - sorry if it looks amateur-ish):

Indoors with dim lights + flash.

The wig is a bit too shiny-looking but I guess that happens with pretty much every synthetic wig.

Natural light + no flash.

Indoor lighting (yellow) + no flash.
Looks so natural here! :D I clipped up the fringe here btw.

This photo is to show you the entire length of the wig. The style of the wig is quite similar to the original product photo, but mine looks a bit flatter. I think you can get the wig to look more voluminious by fluffing it out a bit more (I just brushed it through straightaway - without teasing, blowdrying or anything).

This is a different Clair Beauty wig I got. I forgot to take a birds-eye shot of my dark brown wig but the parting looks just like this one. ^^;

Colour:

The wig doesn't look as brown as it is in the original photo of the product, unless you compare it with the photo I took in yellow indoor lighting. In natural lighting, it looks more like a dark brown rather than coffee brown.

Quality:

The quality of the wig is really good and looks very natural! I'm quite new to wigs so I can't really compare it with other brands, but I have hair extensions from another brand and the quality of my Clair Beauty wig is much better. It's super soft, especially when you run your fingers through it! :D It also has an adjustable 'belt' inside the wig so that you can adjust the circumference depending on the size of your head.

One disadvantage is that sometimes random strands of the hair fall out quite easily so you have to be careful when brushing it. I've only worn my wig a few times so I don't know if it's because it's quite new so the looser strands are falling out? :x

All in all, I really like this wig and I like wear it whenever I go to parties or events or whenever I feel like doing a quick makeover transformation just to feel pretty. I really recommend this brand. :D

I hope this review was helpful. This is the first review I've ever done, so I'm sorry if it sucked. ;-; If I've missed out any important info or if you have any questions about this wig, feel feel to ask in the comments section!
