Mini Lush Haul

Lush lush LUSSSHHHH

I've had a love affair with lush for well over 10 years now. Their stuff just gets better and better, but i do find i prefer visiting their smaller branches as their staff are easier to communicate with, and i find it easier to explain that although they're trained to talk to customers and make them feel welcome and explain products, it sets off my Anxiety and makes me want to leave. Obviously not their fault, but does mean i dont really go into larger or busier stores which means when i do get to go into my nearest store (over an hour away) i feel like a little kid at Christmas. 

As you can see i didn't get much, but i got what i wanted. I think you'll be able to tell there's a "sweet" theme too...haha...get it...no...? ...anyway.... 

Cast in order of apperance:

Mmmelting Marshmallow Melt. £2.00 

One of my all time favorite scents, in a small pocket of moisturisng goodness. 

Rock Star Soap. £3.50per/kg

Yet more sweet candy scented goodness. If you love all their snowfairy range you need this soap in your life to get you through the harsh summer months.

Fluffy Egg. £2.95

Bath bomb, snow fairy scented, full of candy flowers...makes you feel like a candy princess...do you need more!?

Unicorn Horn £2.95

I cant link this, because the mythical being it is, it's no longer on their website. Looks like i got one just in time. My first ever Unicorn horn, and i have to say it's not as sweet as i'd hoped or expected but i still love the scent and how soft it makes my skin feel.

I Made a Thing!

I made my first Youtube video in years on my new channel.

Not going to lie. Could be better, and my extreme lack of a microphone and good lighting at the end really shows but its all things i'll be working on to make better now i'm up on a new channel again.
Whoop! On the plus side. Its good practice, great confidence boosting again. And given how much has changed for me over the past few years i can now set up in my salon, film tutorials and you can come with me on my new chapter of my weight loss journey!

I just can't stop myself. (Metallic Glory/DIY Silver Hair)

I know!
....
I know!
...
I just can't help it, i get bored....

I did this...

To This...(greasy dark brown)

 ...To tone it to an ashy brown (grey mutes the red tones)

 

And then had some left so I mixed what was left 50/50 With conditioner and put it on my blonde (orange) streak for the last 5 Min ...

And I got Dark brown hair with an old lady grey streak. 

Boom. 

Anyway, the wordy part. This is a product from Superdrug By Knight and Wilson. It's part of their "Colour Freedom" collection and these dyes are called Metallic Glory. £7.99.

I used the second to darkest shade called "Stone Grey" which on pre-lightened hair will turn it a lovely soft blue/grey/stone/black shade, but on already dark hair its supposed to neutralize any warm tones and cool your colour to make it look more shiny and metallic, that was originally the only plan as i had bleached and toned my under-fringe area to be blonde/white blonde. But i was finding it looked yellow against the red tones in the brown hair. 

I had a bit of product left over so i thought "meh, why not tone the blonde bit" (because frankly i didnt think it being on my fringe for literally less than 5 min AND mixed with conditioner that it would actually turn out as silver/grey as it did)

So 5 min before i had to wash it all of i slapped the 50/50 mix on...washed it off and ta-da....grey/silver fringe.

And it was a happy accident as i'm actually loving it and rocking it right now! 

The other shades seem to work really well too, on pre-lightened hair so if you're looking for the silver/grey trend colour at home i couldn't recommend this dye enough. It even left my bleached damaged area feeling pretty darn nourished and healthy again! 

(and now i'm totally tempted to do my dark colour to grey ombre)
