NEW BRUNETTE HAIR USING LOREA'L CREME GLOSS & KB HAIR EXTENSIONS


Hello Beauties, so I decided to be a bit spontaneous and dye my hair a dark brown colour ,I am so pleased I have done it, I wasn't too happy with the colour I had over the last few  months which I did get done professionally in a salon but the colour just didn't seem right. I have been wanting to go dark for a while but was always too scared to do it until I just decided to go for it..  I did a lot of research about home hair dyes and which one to go for on Sunday night and just went for it last night. The dye I ended up using is the Lorea'l creme Gloss in the shade Iced Chocolate , now I have never used a boxed at home dye before but this drip free semi-permament formula was very easy to use and made the whole process stress free. I think the hardest decision was picking the actual colour with the wide variety of brown shades and tones I wasn't sure which one to pick but ended up sticking to the Iced Chocolate which I am very pleased with although I was expecting the colour to be a little lighter I am very happy with the dark glossy shade it has left me with, perhaps leaving it for a little less time would solve that issue if your contemplating trying out the shade but don't want to be left with such a  dark of a shade at the end.  The Lorea'l Creme Gloss dye overall gets a bit thumbs up from me, it left my hair feeling super soft with  a glossy and vibrant colour.

As It was a spontaneous decisions prior to this I have already ordered some new human hair extensions from KB Hairextensions but in a light brown shade so I decided to take another risk and dye the hair extensions too although I was a little worried it would damage my new hair it worked really well and as you can see from the photo above the hair is still silky soft and shiny now this shows the high quality of hair and the fact the dye is not very damaging on the hair as extensions do have the tendency to get damaged a lot faster than your own hair. 



KB Hairextension is a brand I have never tried out before but having looked at their site I was very keen to try them out, they hold a wide range of hair and were even mentioned in Cosmopolitan Magazine which having received the hair I can understand why. The hair feels very high quality , is silky and blends in with your natural hair very well, now of course now all I have to do is put them to the test and see how I get on with them for the next few weeks but I will do an updated review for sure. 

What do you think of my new hair colour? 

SHOELICKS : PIMP YOUR HEELS


Today's post is perfect for any shoe lovers out there like me who like to add a little extra personal touch to their style. Ever wanted a pair of a designer heels but simply can not justify spending that  amount of money on one pair? I feel you girl but thanks to SHOELICKS  now you can have your own personalised coloured heel for as little as £2.99 bargain right?! I recently came across Shoe Licks , the Chicas who came up with the idea were inspired by the oh so famous red sole and wanted all us ladies to be able to be able to have the designer feel to our affordable high street shoes. 

The Shoe Licks girls have come up with many gorgeous and unique designs so that your able to customise your heels to suit your outfit and add a pop of colour as well as originality to the whole look.  I was kindly sent a pair of stickers to customise my own pair and chose this gorgeous mint colour which I think is beautiful , if you would like to have a look at this particular sticker click here.


How it works?

ShoeLicks are durable to the weather one size stickers which can be easily removed if needed. The sticker come in a rectangular form and you simply adjust it to your shoes cut out the shape stick it on and your done. 


My thoughts?

I love the concept and idea behind ShoeLicks, it instantly adds a unique feel to your shoes and is perfect for a special occasion and with the Christmas party season coming up this is a great and affordable way to add a little more glamour to your look. One con I would say these have is that they are pretty small in size , I found that one sticker was not enough to cover up a pair of shoes however having said that , they are so affordable you can simply buy two packs to make sure you have enough to cover up both shoes. A little tip I would give when applying these is to draw out the outline and use a cutting knife to cut out the perfect shape , I used scissors and feel like a cutting knife would give a cleaner and more precise cut , nevertheless I am happy with the outcome and pop of colour that this has left my nude heels with.
