Haul #1: Mini Impulsive Buys

Hey all,

So, I thought I would do a mini-haul blog, I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything new this week because I'm trying to save a few coppers for my holidays which is in 6 weeks now HOORAY!!! but as you can see it didn't work as well as I had hoped :P but I wasn't too bold as you will see... So lets begin...

Ed Hardy's Love and Luck Perfume by Christian Audigier:

So technically I didn't buy this perfume (SCORE) but was a gift from America. I was never the biggest Ed Hardy fan before, my sister had the Born Wild perfume and I hated it, it just wasn't me at all, but to my surprise I really like this one. Its not what I typically would go for, I love sweet smelling scents and this is definitely not sweet.  Its kind hard to describe, I would say its a fruity citrus floral smelling scent.  Its really refreshing and not too strong, nice for the summer.  I would definitely use this during the day!!!

No7's Natural Blush Cheek Colour:

So I picked up this blush in the shade Candy Pink the other day in my local chemist which was reduced to a fiver and its retailing at 13e in Boots at the moment, how could I say No?  Its a bright pink colour which a great colour pay-off, its quite pigmented! Its quite a bold colour but I love it! It reminds me of MAC's powder blush in Dollymix.  Possible dupe I hope so!! I haven't used this yet so I'll get back to you's on it!

Rimmel London's Waterproof Gel Eyeliner:

Eyeliner is a must in my books when it comes to finishing off a look! So I seen on my merry way that Rimmel have just released a NEW waterproof gel eyeliner and its on special at the moment for 5.95e (normally 7.95e). I'm currently in the transition from using liquid liner to gel liner! (Its so much easier putting on liquid).  My all-time favourite eyeliner has been Rimmels Exaggerate liquid liner, so I've high hopes for this one. Its very cute, its only small with a small brush built into the lid of it, the brush doesn't look the best but looks can be deceiving!!!! So who knows?? I'm going to do an eyeliner review on this soon after using it so stay put! 

Redken's All Soft Velvet Whip:

So my final buy of the week was Redken's All Soft Velvet Whip. Rumour has it that this gem of a hair product it being discontinued!!! So I had to rush out and see if I could get my hands on one!  I've used this product for years after my hairdresser recommended it for my poor over-processed hair. My hair is never is good nic, due to my poor health and hair straightners. This is kinda a leave in conditioner, with thermal protection properties.  It keeps my my hair feeling super soft and shiny!!! A little product goes a long way. I'm gutted that this product is going to be gone soon!

Q. What was your last impulsive buy???  

Much Love

Revlon "Colour Bomb" Review

Just thought I would do a real quick review.  I get bored very easily with my hair colour so lately I've been using Revlons "Nutri Colour Creme 3 in 1" bombs (I have 3 colours so far). They are really good for people who have damaged hair like myself but like to change their colour or keep it fresh.  These bombs satisfy my cravings for colour change without having great consequences on my poor hair. The colours aren't permanent but fade nicely after a couple of washes.  The colours have a 3 in 1 system which means that it, refreshes colour, gives a lovely gloss and shine to your hair!  After using these my hair feels silky smooth and looks like I've just got my hair coloured in the hairdressers from the shine and gloss on my hair! 

So today in spirit of the European Cup with Ireland playing tonight, I decided to put Copper (740) in my hair. The colours come in a bomb shape with a pump or in a tube like below, I would defientely recommend buying the bomb as its easier to monitor how much dye your using and also its much better value for money with 12 applications versus just 4 in the tube.  The reason I bought the tube is because they didn't have the bomb in Copper.

 

My hair is a medium brown, so I didn't expect drastic changes, they do give a lovely natural hint of the colour to dark hair.  On lighter hair colours, they come out MUCH more vibrant. Also in natural light the colour also becomes a lot more vibrant than in doors.  In my hair they give it a multi-toned look.

 

Medium Brown

After..  Ta Da..

This was my first time using this colour I normally use Marron (513) or Fire Red (600).  I think these are great to put in for a night out on the town just to freshen up your hair!!!!

If I wanted to keep my hair this colour, I would put it in maybe once every 2 weeks!!! They are really easy to use and only takes 5 minutes!  If you got the bomb shape, you can get 11-14 applications from it depending on hair length, and retail at 11.99e in Sallys Hair supplies (with Trade card) or 20e (with no trade card). Bargain or what????

Q.  So whats your favourite Hair Colour Products???
