My Hair Dye Experience



A few weeks back I asked my dad if I could dye my hair, which then he said why would you want to damage your healthy hair. This made me think I will be damaging my hair but if I don't like it tough, I will be living it for up to 6 months before I could cut it off, so I told him this and he agreed so after my hairdressing appointment I went to Boots and got a dark hair colour (not going to metion the name) and pantene coloured hair shampoo. So when I got home I read all of the instructions in which I had to a patch test 48 hours before you dye your hair (vital to do if you are going to dye your hair.) So I did that and as soon as I put it on I hoped that I will have no reaction so one day in of my test my ear was burning, itchy and red which buy this time I was proper freaking out so on the box it said wash off, when symptoms are most extreme. So that was me done I got in the shower and got all of it off. So that mean't was allergic to ammonia or PPD, my aunt is a beautcian and knows about this stuff and she said to me that I was allergic to both... oh great this means yeah I probably could get some hair dye with no ammonia but hair dye without PPD anit gonna happen. This moment was so upsetting for me, always going to be stuck with brown locks when my friends could have any colour hair under the sun.


Researching on my laptop helped alot, I found out its really common and I was lucky to of washed it off quick other wise I would of ended up burned. So I looked at hair dyes for people with the allergy and they were so expensive £48 pounds was the cheapest and where did I go next for all homemade products... LUSH they have permenant hair henna and its not damaging for the hair and easy to use. And only £7 for 350g. So I went ahead and bought it and I will blog about how to do it and a review and all that jazz.

So I hoped you like my post and I will be back soon xx

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

Hello everyone!

So I am really sorry for not posting for a while I was kind of busy... but now I am back and ready to rumble. This foundation is my very first and I was only £4.99 BARGAIN I KNOW! I am in the colour Ivory 100 this is the second lightest. It's supposed to provide medium to light coverage and it is not really build able D: but it has smart pigments which are supposed to imitate your skin colour and it does it for me but I have heard that for some people it doesn't which is not good, so its really a gamble for your money. 




  As you can see by the middle picture its a pump and that usually covers my face and redness. On the picture above this text it doesn't look the same colour this is wear the smart pigment kicks in, I haven't got a picture with it blended in because you can't see it. So its a good product but I won't be bought again by me again because there are better but its good for a first but I have been looking at MAC studio sculpt foundation but I was just looking.... hahaha xx

I hoped you enjoyed this post xx

Vitamin E Sink In Moisture Mask By The Body Shop

Hello everyone,
I purchased this mask about 6 months ago and I use it around 1 a week and it really gets deep in to the skin to hydrate it! I got it for a present from my dad :D. I am not sure what vitamin E does for your skin but it does a jolly good show. I has got a very strange texture almost like creme brulee. 



I don't think I will repurchase it again mainly because I have oily skin and at the time I didn't but if you have dry skin then this is the pamper product to splash out on. The only bad thing about this product it is a little pricey, at the price of £12 you would have to adjust to the price, but it is from the body shop so it always is a little bit more on the expensive side. So if you want a little treat for your skin, go check here if this little bad boy has caught the eyes of your bank card...

I hope you like this post xx

Coconut & Sweet Almond Intensive Conditioner

Hello everyone!
Yesterday when I was in Central London with a friend we popped into superdrug and as of the time my hair was getting dry and brittle, I needed something that would let my hair drink up the product like water, but the only thing is most of those products are pretty expensive. My friends blog had said that she had been using this product and it seemed to work for her, so I thought why not I am not breaking the bank with a fabulous deal of 99p. I used the conditioner last night and left it to hair dry. As I just can't keep my eyes open when I'm tired I had to see the results in the morning and need I say more this product was just what I was looking for.


As you can see above it has a thick texture and I really like it, it smells like real coconut none of that processed stuff. I have only tried once but it has proven its self so far so lets see if it continues to.

Hope you enjoyed my post xx
