Colour XXL

So about 4 weeks ago I died my hair using Colour XXL in the colour cyber purple. The colour on the front of the box looked light and truly purple. I thought, with my hair being kinda dark to start with so I was hoping that the colour would stay at the same darkness with a purple tinge rather than a red tinge that I had before. This didn't happen. The colour came out super dark and nothing like the purple on the front of the box. I followed the instructions down to the last word and left the dye on for the amount of time I was meant to. I've gorwn to like my hair, and it has faded but at first it looked almost black on my hair. I do have dry hair and some damage so I know that it would be absorded a bit more but I still didnt expect it to be black.

Another point is that the colour does not stop washing out of my hair. It's like it's semi permentant colour. In fact, the semi permenant colours that I've used in the past have washed out less than the Colour XXL colours I've used. I have used 2 colours from this range, one was red passion and that was similar I washed my hair. I have yet to find and colour that doesn't stop washing out of my hair when i've died it. If anyone knows why this is or if there is a reason or something along those lines then please let me know because it's really annoying.

So, this is just my little mini review on the Colour XXL range that you can pick up anywhere. It's not bad on this range because every range that I have used have run out of my hair and washed out all the time. I think it might be my colour choices.

Oh My... ELF!!

I ordered some bits and things from ELF when they had 50% off and they had free shipping for orders over  £30. So, I got £60 worth of cosmetics for £30 which I think is awesome. But anyways this post is on the brushes that I brought from ELF. I got one from the studio range, which was £1.50 and the other brushes I got were from the refular range and cost me 75p (thats with the 50% off).

Lets get into this:

So, Ill start with the studio brush that I got:

 

The stipple brush that I got was from the studio line and more epensive than the regular line but when you compare prices of ELF brushes to others makes like MAC, £3 isn't all that bad. This is a good brush. It's nice and soft and it applied powder really well. It does say on the packaging that it can be used to apply foundation to. I used this brust to apply liquid foundation and it just wasn't good. I used three times the amount of foundation because of it and the brush just stuck together and didn't blend the foundation at all. I ended up having to rub the foundation over the skin with my fingers and another foundation brush. 

 

I haven't used this brush yet but it feels soft considering it cost £1.50. I'll update when I do use it 

 This is a blending brush that I got. It's good. It's just as good as the GOSH one that I got in superdrug for about £6 which is more expensive that this brush for £1.50. I actually got this brush for 75p with free shipping. (Much love to ELF for that!!)

 

This is another brush I got. It's a concealor brush but it's my only real HATE from my haul. It's actually the smallest brus1`you can think of and it's impossible to apply and blend concealor with it. Check out my wearable look to see what my ususal concealor brush looks and compare the stupid size of this brush to the normal sized concealor brush.

TREND! Back to the 70's

Would You Rather (Beauty) TAG!!

1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and no make-up?
I would defiantly say that I would go out with messy hair and nice makeup…my hair is always messy so it’s not a big choice.
2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
OMG! Such a hard question. I look sooo silly with my brows filled in so I think I would look stupid with pencilled in brows but I cannot live without my mascara. Ermmm if I have to choose it would be bye bye eyebrows and a new hair style with a long fringe (or bangs!)
3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
As I live in the UK, I don’t have a choice. MAC all the way.
4. Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80′s perm?
Lipgloss/Lipliner, not question. My hair doesn’t need any help being curly!
5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
It would really be a question of how bad they both were (god that’s a boring answer). Ermm overdone blush probably.
6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
MC Hammer Pants  but I give this answer in a naive way because I have no idea what MC Hammer Pants are but I do know how awful biker shorts are so I’ll go with awful pants haha.
7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can’t be covered?
Orange tan (and lots and lots and lots of foundation and powder so I can change it or dull it down haha)
8. Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
bad hair colour, it can more easily be changed.
9. Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away?
Twitter… No question at all
10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
Brushes!!! I’m obsessed with mascara. I have like 10 (and that is no exaggeration)
