From 'Directions' to 'Special Effects'
Hey!
So one of my New Years Resolution this year was to try out some different hair dyes! I love having pink hair and I don't ever want to change it :) so I want to find a dye that I love and stick to it.
Last year I used 'La Riche Directions - Flamingo Pink' I diluted it 50-50 with conditioner (see my YouTube video) so create the colour below. Although I really like the colour, one wash and it would faded to a very unattractive pinky orange :-/!
I've tried several things:
- Washing my hair and then applying a conditioning spray
- Washing it twice a week and using lots of dry shampoo
- Mixing pink dye into my conditioner
And none of these prevented it fading So I have decided to try 'Special Effects - Atomic Pink'. It is much more expensive, Directions usually retails at around £3.50 - £4.00, whereas the average price of Special Effects is £12.99. You seem to get more in the bottle than you do in the tub but there is still a massive price difference!
So below you will see a comparison of the two (first is Directions, second is Special Effects), I will be updating every time I wash my hair and showing you how it progressively fades and how long it lasts until I have to buy another bottle!
Also worth mentioning that by adding conditioner to my Directions I tend to use 2/3 of a tub. I didn't add any conditioner to my Special Effects but I had to use 3/4 of the bottle! So let's see if its worth the money!
Keep checking my YouTube channel for updates too :) xxx

How to dye your hair neon pink

Bright, Colourful and Affordable Make-Up
Hi :)
So I thought I'd do a post about how I do my current everyday makeup! I'm not someone who likes to spend a lot on makeup, I'd rather splash out on a new Xbox game :P so this is perfect to make a statement on a low budget :)!
This look is created with:
MUA white eyeliner pencil - £1 from Superdrug
MUA black mascara - £1 from Superdrug
Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner - £8 (which is expensive but I really recommend it over liquid eyeliner! Also that little pot seems to last forever!)
Collection 2000 Poptastic Eyeshadow Palette - I actually got this free when I bought 3 other Collection 2000 products (which aren't expensive) but I think it retails at about £5 and you can change up the colours whenever you want)
Eyeshadow brush - £1.80 mine is from Superdrug but you can get them so cheap and the quality doesn't really make a difference!
**Optional
Stargazer Liquid Eyeliner in Pink - £3 from EBay (for your eyebrows)
This is so quick and easy to do!
1. Apply white eyeliner to your eyelids, and under your eyes, cover them until they are completely white :D!
2. Brush colour 1 into the corner of your eye (closest to your nose) over the white eyeliner and cover exactly half of your eyelid.
3. Brush colour 2 from the other corner of you eye to meet the other one, so you have half and half.
4. Apply colour 2 under your eye, on top of the white eyeliner.
5. Furiously blend the 2 together, I usually use 1 side of the brush from one colour and the other side for the other, so they do not blend until you want them too.
6. Apply a thin line of black gel eyeliner to the top above your lashes and then bring it from the far corner to about half way underneath your eye.
7. Apply your mascara and hit the town :D!
Time: 10 - 15 mins
Cost: £19.80
You may have to top up your supply of MUA eyeliner and mascara but the rest would easily last you 8 - 10 months :)
Enjoy looking awesome ^_^
