REVIEW ON L'ORÉAL PRÉFÉRENCE GLAM HIGHLIGHTS

Before holidays I wanted to dye my hair's roots. But unfortunately I was too busy and didn't find time to go to salon. So in my head came one crazy idea.... To try to do by myself at home. Maybe 10 years ago I had very bad experience with ''home hair salon'', and I thought I am not gonna do that mistake again never ever. But when you have no time to go to people who knows what they are doing, and you want to look nice and ''fresh'' on holidays, you have just one choice - to try :)))

So I bought L'OREAL Preference Glam Highlights Light to very Light Blond 1.

The box comes with: 

The main reason why I choose this box is because it comes with 'Expert Highlights Brush', which looks not that hard to use ( plus in my mind was that my husband will help to do back of my hairs). Also in the kit comes Lightening Powder,  Developer Creme + Applicator Cap, Lightening Creme, Conditioning Shampoo (which one didn't work that good as usually comes with hair colourant) and gloves.

How to use?

Of course before starting you have to wear gloves and to mix hair color mixture. 

1. Then to part hairs into two section from the back.

2. Fully saturate all three section of the Expert Highlights Brush with the product, keep the brush vertical so the three prongs follow the natural direction of your hair.

3. Starting at your roots, use the brush begin applying the product.

4. Continue applying on the lengths and tips, proceed in the same manner around the rest of your head. Before each stroke, make sure the brush is fully with product.

5. Wait between 25-45 minutes

6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water without removing the gloves.

Review

To use this kit on your own it's easy. Maybe you will need help to apply on your back of your hairs, because you can't see by yourself. But for me was easier because I have different case. As you can see in the picture that my half of hairs are in brown and I decided to leave as it is. Just one thing disappointed - the results (colour and conditioning shampoo). I got a bit orange, ginger colour. But I guess I chose not right colour (my colour should be number 2). And after washing my hairs with Conditioning Shampoo my hairs was still rough. Resume: if colour would be fine, then I would use it all the time on my own without salon help. It is really great product, and easy to apply.

And those two pictures after. Sorry I didn't have chance to take proper picture, because after my experiment my friends came to take me for last dinner together. So picture in the left is after hair dying. And picture in the right is me next day, Where you can see that hairs are more yellow than it was before dying.

Barry M Sunset Nail Paint & Topcoat Review and Swatches

Hello everyone!

There is a new nail polish collection called Sunset Daylight Curing by Barry M. Nail polishes comes in 7 colours + one Topcoat. I am a fan of Barry M nail products, so I was so excited to try new range, but two things confused me. It is going to work just on daylight? And it is going to be easy to remove it? So I tried it at 1 o'clock at night! And.. it worked perfect! To do nail polish you don't need to wait for daylight. But Barry M says that Sunset uses natural daylight curing to create long lasting gloss nails. And there's no need for salons and UV lights. And to remove it's easy with normal nail polish remover.

 How to apply?

1) Paint on a thin layer of Sunset Nail Paint and allow to dry. Then apply a second coat.

2) When dry, apply a thin layer of Sunset Topcoat (they says no other Topcoat will work). Your nails will now cure naturally in daylight (but it works and at night, without daylight) for a long lasting, stunning pro mani effect.

Out Of My Red, Like a Nude

One more thing which makes me happy - it is a flat brushes! They made the same brushes like in their Quick dry collection. It is so easy to apply with. You just need three strokes per nail.

Like A Nude

The price is a bargain! £4.99 for a bottle. And you can choose from 7 colours, plus you will need a topcoat. And there is an offer on Superdrug.  3 for 2 and plus you will get Makeup bag for free.

P.S. Maybe you are thinking, maybe I can do nail polish without topcoat? Yes you can, but nails not gonna be cure. You will get marks on your nails (like your nail polish didn't dry properly).

Quick fix facials - Anti-blemish mud mask review

Hello beauties,

Because I have oily and spot prone skin, I decided to try Quick fix facials - Anti-blemish mud mask. I planned to write review after using more than one time... But.. unfortunately first time was not so good as I expected. Otherwise it was the worst reaction I have ever had from a face product.

So I applied a mud on my face and waited the 10 minutes. After that I removed with warm water and.. when I saw my face in the mirror I got shock. My face was bright red and patchy. I am writing this review about 5 hours after attempt to ''treat'' my face. And my face still red and feeling like my face is burning. I got an allergic reaction :(

And here is my face ;) unfortunately today is not Halloween :)) I bought this ''amazing'' mud mask in Tk Maxx for £3.99 (RRP £4.99)
