Today's purchases

I like reading posts like this because it shows you the bits and bobs available and on offer (Websites don't show a lot of products)
So I hope you like them too!

^ All from Superdrug
Superdrug shower gels 2 for £1.50
Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner £3.45 - My favourite leave in conditioner ever!
Colour Effects Wash In Wash Out Conditioning Colour (Rich Red) 99p - This brightens your hair and adds tones of whatever colour you have picked (In this case, red). This comes out within a few washes.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £3.99 - My favourite concealer, have just ran out after using it for months!

At the beginning of the store, where you pay, I saw Vaseline Rosy Lips in a stick (I'm assuming it's a new product because it said 'new'). I love Rosy Lips but hate tin lip balms so this will be great. Unfortunately I had no money left but my sister is going in town today and if she has any money spare she said she would pick one up for me :)

Garnier Nutrisse 4.6 Deep Red

I dyed my hair yesterday ^^ I was going to go back to my natural colour which is Auburn but couldn't find the colour so opted for Garnier Nutrisse 4.6 Deep Red. This was £3.99 but normally is £4.99. I can not show you the box because I threw it away and the images online are different to the new model on the box.
So application was fine and it smelt better than usual :)
Here are the results:
Its quite dark but in a few days it should lighten up. Take note that the colour below is when the light hits it.



^ It doesn't look that bright but I wanted to show you how vibrant it is with a lot of light.

My hair before was a dark brown. The colour will vary depending on your current hair colour, application and the amount of time left on.

Overall I like the colour but next time I SHALL find the correct shade of Auburn.

Have a good day :)

L'Oreal Casting Crème Gloss in 550 Mahogany

This is just a quick post with my thoughts on the dye. I really want to show you pictures but no camera in the house is working, not even the webcam!

So, when mixed in the bottle, it was a gorgeous shimmery violet. Application etc... was fine and now my hair is unbelievably soft - this is one reason why I am starting to love dying my hair. And the colour? A deep brown with warm red tones running through it. I really like it :) Although, I am tempted to go redder...
I don't want to get carried away with dying my hair though because a few months ago I said I would never do it. 2 semi-permanent and 2 permanent dyes later... hehe.
I will try whatever I can to get photos today :)

L'OREAL CASTING CREME GLOSS 550 Mahogany

Does the colour look like the colour on the box? Pretty close, yes! Remembering that everyone's shade will be slightly different depending on your hair colour and how long you leave the dye on.

UPDATE: I've just seen my hair in the sun and it is gorgeous! Shimmering red tones everywhere. I said before there were red-ish tones, but in the sun they are a lot more vibrant :)

Garnier Nutrisse

£4.86

I dyed my hair yesterday with Garnier Nutrisse in shade 4 dark brown.
Was easy to apply, like any other dye really :) Except you don't have to wet your hair before with this one.
The colour pay off is good, looks exactly like it does on the box and also my hair is super shiny :)

I'm not sure whether I like it though. Its nothing to do with the actual dye itself. I just don't like it this dark. I think I should of got the shade golden dark brown instead :/
People at school seem to like it and my parents also do but I prefer my dark auburn locks instead of this shade of brown. I would prefer a chocolate brown which has warm red tones in it.

This is permanent but hopefully it will fade slightly. Apparently 'Ginger' hair doesn't take dye's as well as other hair colours so this should help the colour become less intense.
I'll wait for this one to fade out and go back to my natural hair colour. Hopefully I won't get horrific roots - If I do then I'll have to dye it a chestnut brown (Close to my natural hair colour) and then wait for my hair colour to come through. This way when the roots begin to grow, you will not see them.

My Hair Colour & Superdrugs Effects Temporary Hair Colour

I haven't been taken the mick out of for my hair colour in agessss and when people do give the odd comment (Normally immature boys 12/13) it doesn't upset me because... ITS A HAIR COLOUR! You here this a lot but its true, who cares what colour your hair is?
I don't get upset by these comments, I get really angry because they can not see how immature they are and I seriously want to put them in hospital, maybe then they'll learn?
My hair colour hasn't affected how many friends I have, how many boys like me but I think it has had some affect on my confidence.

I love my hair colour and would not like to dye it. And also, I have seen so many 'Gingers' dye their hair a dark colour because they don't want to stand out, are not strong enough to ignore the stupid twats who give the comments and have low self esteem. I don't want to be ashamed of my hair colour, why should I be?

But I have seen in Superdrug a wash in wash out hair colour conditioner for 97p. I was thinking about getting the brown shade to tone down my red locks for a while. I've been reading the reviews and their all really good.
I want to get it to experiment really, see how it looks etc...
But I defiantly won't be getting a permanent hair dye as I don't want to be dying my hair all the time and covering roots etc...

Sooo yeaaaah :)
I might do an Ins and Outs post later,
Have a good night :)
