What are your favourite make-up and hair dye brands? and what do you like + dislike about them? And how do you think they could be improved if at all?

For hair dye, I really love SPLAT when it comes to crazy colors. There aren't any "permanent" crazy colors, but SPLAT is the most permanent and I used ti to dye my hair.

Make up I love NYX because it is hypoallergetic (which is good for me because I have allergies to just about everything) and its super nice quality while still being very affordable. 

I am a fan of Rimmel and Avon for make-up. I have never dyed my hair so I can't really answer that one!

You really liked SPLAT? I used it to dye my hair purple and half of it washed out the first time I took a shower. =/ I guess it depends on one's hair type.

I adore Manic Panic. It's vegetable based, so it's not bad for you at all and it holds pretty well. And you can get some AWESOME colors with it!

For make-up:

I really like Lime Crime

I only own alittle of it because its kind of pricey, but it comes in beautiful colors and is cruelty free/vegan.

And while its more for lip balm and body spray, I'll put in a good word for Blood Bath:

Ofcourse, if I'm just looking for something cheap, but still looking for unique color I usually just buy the stuff from Hot Topic with the skull on it  or Hard Candy from Wal-Mart.

When i used to use vegetable dye and had brightly coloured hair i used la richie directions i found it was better for my hair type than manic panic and lasted quite a while depending on the colour ^__^ for make-up the best brands i've tried are MAC, Urban Decay, Barry M and Bobby Brown but they're all quite expensive =[ for lashes, eyelash glue and blusher i've not tried this yet myself but i'd say dolly wink seem to be the best alot of my friends use dolly wink and they always look flawless! i'm going to be investing in some of their stuff myself after christmas and i'll probably do a post about them =] i'm also going to be trying out palty hair dye some time soon and i'll be going 'milk tea brown' i'll post about that too wish me luck :p if my hair goes green again i'm going to be very upset

Oh and i forgot to mention skin 79 BB cream as a primer and dream matte mousse for foundation ^__^ <3

makeup

~MAC: i love that their eyeshadow comes out so bright even without primer, and im addicted to their "lipglass"

~Twofaced: their primers are really good its like makeup glue :P

~covergirl: their mascara the only one I've ever used :P

Make-up-wise I like Bourjois (especially their foundations and the pot blushers smell like sweets!) and Benefit.

I mostly use Garnier hair dye, I use shade Iced coffee.

I love Korean and Japanese makeup brands~!! Because not only are the products really good, but packaging is also super cute! :D 

♥ My favorite Korean brands are Lioele, Etude House, Holika Holika and Missha (but Missha package is not "cute", it's "glamorous" lol) 

♥ My favorite Japanese brands are Candy Doll and Majolica Majorca~

Here are some pictures!

Examples of Lioele's super adorable packaging! (Their products are really good too!)

Here's the outside and inside of an Etude House store *__*

Here's a CM (commercial) for Candy Doll with Tsubasa singing Bunny Days~!! ♥

And here's a Majolica Majorca video. It's a little creepy and mysterious, but still shows their beautiful makeup:

I think makeup packaging should always be cute or beautiful, because it's more fun and will make you smile while putting it on!
