BLEACH London White Toner | Review

 

I recently ombre'd my hair at the salon and after a few washes the toner fades and you end up with some gingery ends! I didn't want to spend any more money at the salon after spending over £100 to get the ombre eek!! I decided to try the White Toner from Boots, now I know it usually costs around 8 to 10 pounds I think but for some reason my local Boots priced there's at £1.45 so a bargain?!

Anyways with any type of dark hair you end up with orange, gingery hair so I wanted to tone it down abit. I know this Toner in particular is probably better for those with really light yellow blonde hair which would make their hair platinum blonde but I thought let me try it on my dark hair anyways.

The products and mixture is pretty usual to most toners, you mix a developer and colorant and apply toner on wet hair. I used baby shampoo first though to get rid of any build up on hair which I think is a really good idea as you will get better coverage on the hair.
Overall it did get rid off the ginger, my hair didn't go really light obviously as my bleached hair didn't lift that much, but overall I'm happy with the way it came out. I really massaged it into my bleached ends and it softened out the harsh orange.  It's not completely cool toned dark blonde but it's not as orange. I think if I used this a few more times then it would probably work better more gradually. I was thinking to use a darker toner next time as my bleached ends would probably fade to a nice dark caramel or something and would probably blend and look better against the darker roots and mid length hair but for summer it's a good look!

My Final Thought 💭
Overall a good product, more catered towards lighter blondes but it did get rid of the ginger and brassy tones in my hair, I've only washed it 3 times yet and it hasn't washed out but will see how long it lasts. I've also been using Bleach London Silver Shampoo to help prolong and keep the brassyiness out. I will do a separate review on that once I've used it more!

Maybelline Coloursensational Matte Lipstick 987 Smoky Rose | Review & swatch - The perfect nude

Image
  As the title says, this is the perfect pinky dusky rose shade. Brown or beige nudes don't suit my complexion so I prefer going for the more pinkier shades which brighten up my complexion alot more. To tell you the truth I'm kind of over the matte lipstick phase now, have so many colours and even though they give a natural look, sometimes they can look really drying and fine lines in your lips can appear, making you look rather dehydrated than healthy! Anyways, the texture on this is really nice, its creamy soft and smooth, doesnt feel cakey or dry on the lips. It's perfect for day time, and work which I use it for, infact keep it in my bag. It does dry out for me half way during the day but most lipsticks do after drinks, lunches etc so not to bothered. My Final Thought If your looking for a perfect soft pink natural nude then this is perfect for medium to tan skintones, I think it would look really flattering on lighter complexions too.

Lavera Mineral Eyeshadow Quattro 02 Cappuccino Cream | Review

Image
  This is the perfect practical, easy, go-to eyeshadow palette and natural of course so I don't feel bad piling it on my eyes. The colours are quite pigmented, so impressed with that as most natural products don't have the colour pay off. I use it without a primer and and only alittle bit of my concealer on my eyelids to correct my dark circles and these colours show up beautifully.  The lightest cream shade (on the right) is perfect as a highlight and for the inner corners to open up and brighten the eyes and under the eyebrow. The neutral light-medium brown shade (bottom shade) is perfect as an overall natural base shade and a transitioning shade to blend the other shades in.  Cool toned brown (top shade) which I love using over my whole eyelid and bottom rim to give a smokey effect. Warm toned brown (left shade), another perfect shade to use all over or to create definition on the outer corner of the eye following the eyelid. My final Thought Th

Superdrug's Colour Rewind Review - and OMD it actually works!

Colour Rewind Review A brief history of what I've been upto with my hair. A while back I used Loreal Rimini which is really good for those with natually or dyed dark hair as it brought my hair upto a lovely light brown. However silly me, always wanted a change; decided to be abit different, so I bought a box of Live Violet hair dye. Now, I've used Live hair dyes before and they've always made my hair go jet black and I never get that purple hue or blue hue etc but as their was a sale and it said it had some lightening in the pack I thought hey ho let's try it. Well it darkened my hair quite abit and then left me with a red halo which was slowly fading to orange...the worst colour! I then used a semi permant hair dye, I used a dark brown to get rid of the halo.....then waited 4 weeks and used Nice and Easy Light Ash brown to get back to a nice neutral brown.  That wasn't happening because of all the hairdye build up!!! I popped into Superdrugs and got the
