Back to Black..

So...apologies for the wait! But here is my new hair colour! I love how shiny it is, the picture doesnt show it at its shiniest...but it is! I think it looks alot healthier than it did before.

(see before pic in a previous post)

The dye i use is Loreals Casting Creme Gloss, in Ebony Black. Its got the most amazing after conditioner which smells ace and makes your hair sooo soft! Its around £6 but the colour is amazing and the cream sort of lathers up like shampoo which means even with hair my length you only need one box!

I am also wearing my Bourjoirs 10 hour sleep effect foundation, which i LOVE! Its got slightly less coverage than revlons colourstay, but it doesnt feel like im wearing anything which is great because i work 12 hour shifts, and it has a lovely scent.

The only downside is that i think the bottle should be slightly larger, it seems as though it will run out quite quickly. Though for £8 it is cheaper than colourstay, and i havent had any oily patches as i did with colourstay either! So all in all id give it 9/10! Im definately converted!

I am also wearing one of the new lipsticks i wrote about a few posts back! The colour is Tell No One, and its the new range from Rimmel (in the pink packaging) I never knew until i tried them out that they smell like those sweets parma violets! Its lush! The colour is pretty and not too bright. Its not too drying, though i do have to moisturise my lips a lot to make it look good. So a thumbs up for these too!

Hair Inspiration...

Hair story....

Tomorrow i will be dying my hair again, these days i usually dye it a semi-permanent black, which leaves it glossy, makes me look slimmer, and if it fades it doesnt leave horrible tide marks! I have done this for a while now, but thought id share with you some of my past haircuts and colours!

Here i am in my first year of uni, after experimenting with some highlights! I never really cared for them much, and always thought they looked a bit 'not me', but i stuck with them!

Here i am with some bolder highlights, but slightly underneath my top layer of hair, as i didnt want the horrible roots!...again not my favourite ever style!



This is when i dint colour my hair much, and let it go to its naturalish colour! You can still see remnants of highlights in it, though they have faded a lot!

Here is when i used to get my hair quite layered, just a normal style for me. I never used to be able to grow it because it frustrated me too much when it was long!



So this one is probably my shortest haircut ive had, it was very short layers with a kind of side fringe going on!

I then experimented with a fringe...but i hated the getting it trimmed all the time aspect so i let it grow out!!



And here is me last year, when i first tried using the semi permanent black that i do now! I think this is the colour which best suits me and it looks so healthy.



And this is my hair today...this afternoon in fact! Its got a bit of a reddish tinge to it after several attempts to go Mahogany failed!! All my layers have sort of formed into one big long mass! But i love the length and i cant wait to dye it tomorrow!

I have enjoyed looking back on my many styles! I hope you have enjoyed looking with me! If any of you can be bothered to do this post as well, please let me know as i love looking at how people have changed over the years!!

(p.s. photos will be up tomorrow of my black hair!)
