Aussie Hair Care

Aussie Hair Care held their first of three events last weekend. It was a treasure hunt to find lots of goodies! They sent everyone the clue and the key but unfortunately it was special delivery and nobody was in to sign for it. So i wasn't able to get hold of my key till monday.. gutted :( But Lauren still offered to send me some goodies which i thought was really generous. They arrived this morning...

So these were the goodies i got. I got two full sized products which are the miracle moist shampoo and the 3 miute miracle frizz remedy. Then i recieved 6 sample sized products, which are the mircale moist shampoo and conditions and the 3 minute miracle reconstructor.

I also recieved a topshop voucher which i was really excited about. I had heard that people who had made the event got a voucher but i didn't think i would get one because i didn't go! Super happy! I have no idea what to spend it on.. hmmm decisions decisions!

I have never tried aussie hair care before so i am really excited to try them and the products sound perfect to my dry, damaged hair! On first impressions the products smell absolutely amazing! Look out for some reviews coming up soon!

Hope you all have a great weekend. Laura xXx

Hair History...

I’ve never been brave enough to do anything drastic with my hair so this won’ t be the most exciting hair history but still I fancied doing it..

This is at my high school prom when I was sixteen (unfortunately I don’t have the facility to get any older pics on my laptop) My hair was a mid-length, just a few layers and... blonde STREAKS! Why.. !?

This is a couple of years after when the blonde had gone and I had let my hair grow. Again I just had a pretty unadventurous cut. As you can tell I used to like my hair to absolutely poker straight.

This was in my first year at uni and I think this is probably the longest my hair has been. I started wearing my parting more to the side.

This was probably only taken a couple of months later when I decided to get some blonde bits put in the underneath layers on my hair. This picture doesn’t show it well but it was pretty subtle. The rest of my hair is my natural colour.

This was at the start of my second year at uni when I had a complete hair disaster. I went to get some more blonde in my hair and it turned out blue. Yes... bright blue! I was mortified. Long story but I got my hair dyed for free! I asked for it to be as close to my natural colour as possible but it turned out nothing like it. It was lighter and more red toned. I did like he cut he gave me though, a side swept fringe and more layers.

When I got bored of plain brown I decided to get blonde again but a little bit more this time and once again I asked for a dark brown colour on the rest of my hair but I got light/reddy brown. I hate this when I look back at pictures, I’ll never do it again plus it totally ruined my hair where I had it blonde.

Eventually the previous colour just went really ginger so I got a bit of a drastic colour change and went almost black! I didn’t like it at first but it soon faded.

So this is what it looked like once it had faded. This is waayy lighter than my natural colour and I can’t seem to get rid of the reddy tones it in! I also decided volume was the way forward.

More recently I dyed my hair a dark brown colour to try and get rid of the reddy tones in it. I’d vowed that I won’t dye it any more now and I’m going to let it grow out to my natural colour.

And this is what my hair looks like currently had a bit of a trim last week but nothing too drastic. Love how healthy it has made my hair feel and I will definitely be getting regular trims from now on.

New Hair Colour

I dyed my hair yesterday morning! It's just a pretty standard dark brown colour. I have to admit it's darker than i like it to be but my hair tends to fade pretty quickly so i know it won't stay this dark for that long!

I'm gonna try my hardest to let it fade in to my natural colour and stop dying it for a while now. There's nothing wrong with my natural colour, i've just got into a habit of dying it to get rid of the blonde i used to have in my hair!

Mini Haul

...I really have no self control!


The main reason i went to boots was to buy a hair dye! I used to have blonde sections in the bottom layers of my hair and they are showing through again and i hate it! Originally i bought a reddy brown colour but i decided it was a bad idea because i want it to fade out naturally as i want to try and get back to my natural colour. So instead i went with a really plain dark brown thats close to my natural colour...



And of course while i was there i had to pick up a few extra bits to make the 'most' of the double points!!


I got two barry m glossy tubes in number 4 (left) which is a gorgeous nudey colour and number (2) which is a irridescent light pink colour. These are the first barry m glosses i have purchased and i LOVE them. The colours, the consistency, the pigmentation! I think they are great! :) Has anyone tried any of the other colours??


I also got the loreal super liner in carbon gloss. At the minute i use maybelline liner express, which is fine but i'm still experimenting with liquid liners because i only started using them about 4 months ago! (I never though i would be capable of applying it in a straight line) The main reason i got this is for the applicator, which is the same as the maybelline one. Its like the spongey tip... i really can't get on with the ones with the really fine brushes... how anyone achieves a straight line with that i will never know!



And finally i went mad on nail polish! Barry M nail paints are two for £5 at the minute, so i thought i would add to my collection. And revlon nail polishes had £2 off... so i couldn't resist picking up tropical temptation and spotted the cute pink colour aswell! Nail polish is definately my biggest weakness!!

From left to right - barry m 294 cyan blue, barry m 279 bright pink, revlon 093 tropical tempation, 090 posh pink.

Oh by the way... can anyone recommend me a really good base coat/top coat... my nail polish never seems to last no matter which brand i use and it really frustrates me!

Hope you all had a great monday!
