Bleach London | Silver Shampoo

I'm slowly making my way through the Bleach London products available at Boots. For a few weeks now I've been trying out their silver shampoo. I've been using the Pro. Voke silver shampoo up to now and it does work well but I have found it leaves my hair quite dry even if I use quite a bit of conditioner so I was glad to find Bleach did their own version. 

Don't be put off at how much of a deep purple this comes out like it's perfectly normal. Because of the cap you have to be quite careful of how much you pour out as it runs out quite fast. I use this on the ends of my hair once a week alternating it with my normal shampoo. After leaving it on for around 5 minutes so it can take full effect. I always love how silver shampoo turns your water such an amazing colour of purple. 

This product doesn't leave my hair feeling dry I always have soft to touch hair with a fresh clean smell to it. The dip dye of my hair is bleached so this silver shampoo knocks all the brassy tones right out and has made it a lovely light blonde. I have noticed that each time I use it my hair looks light as though my dip dye has just been re-done professionally. If your looking for a silver shampoo to try this is defiantly something I would recommend. 

It's available at Boots for £5.00 there is also a conditioner to match this for the same price.

Bleach London | White Toner

*Available to buy at boots*

There has been so much hype over Bleach London's new range on blogs and social media. Recently Bleach launched its brand within Boots. After reading so many reviews about the products I decided it was time for me to test them out. 

The Bleach London white toner states that it is 'Semi Permanent, nourishing hair dye to tone and transform brassy and yellow blondes to silver, platinum or white blonde to banish yellow from your blonde.' The product comes in a box with: A tube of colourant, a bottle of developer lotion, a repairing treatment mask, plastic gloves and an instruction leaflet. 

I have never done any home dying before so you can say I am a novice at it. It is really easy to make the mixture as you just need to squeeze the colourant into the developer lotion and apply from then. As I was only using the dye for my dip dye I only needed to apply it to the ends. I left the mixture on for 20 minutes as stated and then washed off. I then proceeded to use the hair mask for 10 minutes afterwards. The dye didn't smell horrible or itch and it was easy to apply. I followed my using the hair mask which made my hair feel so soft to touch and has made the condition of my hair so much better. 

I had high hopes for this product but it didn't turn my hair platinum or white which was a shame as I would have liked to have seen my hair like that though my brassy tones are no more. I thought that this had done nothing to my hair though after having feedback from others it looks lighter than usual. I wouldn't buy this product again as I don't think it is for me though for £7 it was worth a try. I am planning on buying one of the coloured dyes and giving those a try. 

What are your thoughts on the Bleach products?

Maybelline Long Lasting Gel Liner

Finally I have found the right eye-liner for me. For a while now I’ve been using eye-liner on and off and have never really thought of using a gel eye-liner as I preferred just using a liquid pen liner. I had thought about buying a gel eye-liner from M.A.C but as I’d never tried one before I didn’t want to be spending so much money on something I might not like.

When I was on a night out I had used a cheap pen liner and after being squirted in the eye with perfume from my friend my eye-liner rubbed off really bad which made me realise I really did need a waterproof or longer lasting liner. I was actually recommended this eye-liner from a friend as one night out it managed to stay on all throughout the night right till the morning and lasted the perfume incident. This eye-liner can be found in drug stores at a reasonable price of £7.99 and it comes in small glass jar and a professional brush which turns out a lot cheaper than if you were to just buy a M.A.C pot. The eye-liner isn't heavy on your eyes it feels lightweight and is hard to smudge, it is also a thick consistency in the jar but isn't too thick when applying which helps. A little goes a long way with this eye-liner as I have been using this for a number of weeks now and I have only used a small amount of the pot so it is well worth the money.  After finding this eye-liner I have now re kindled my love for using eye-liner. 

How I care for Ombre Hair

I've always had blonde hair but when I was younger it used to be a nice light blonde but as I've gotten older my hair has gone to a dirty blonde colour which gets on my nerves so much though I've never wanted to dye it because I don't want to have to worry about roots so I decided to get my hair Ombred or as soom people know it Dip Dyed. 

I got my hair Ombred at the hairdressers as its the first time I was getting my hair dyed I didn't want to do it at home though L'Oreal have brought out a new Ombre hair dye kit that you can do at home for a lot cheaper than a hairdressers would charge you. Since I have dirty blonde hair I wanted to have light blonde Ombre which is what I now have and I love it if your considering having you hair Ombred (dip dyed) then give it a go. 

*Shampoo - £5.99

*Conditioner - £5.99

As my hair is already blonde I decided to buy a shampoo and conditioner that suits all blonde types which is why I chose to use Toni & Guy for all blondes shampoo and conditioner as I've used this before and got great results. The shampoo is from the cleanse range and the conditioner is nourish and they work well together to keep my hair in good condition. The products smell amazing and I love the way the packaging looks and feels it doesn't feel like your usual bottle of shampoo or conditioner. When you squeeze out the shampoo it is a yellow colour with slight 'glitter' specks into it which I think is great and the conditioner is just a plain yellow but they smell amazing and when you use them both together you are left with lovely soft hair. 

*£5.99 at Amazon 

I have another Toni & Guy product which is a glosser for all blondes now I've had this for around a year as you only need a pea size amount that you rub into damp hair before though as you can see its almost gone so I need to find where I can buy another. When I used this in my hair I wasn't sure if it was even doing anything to my hair especially since it says its for blondes so when I dried my mums hair (which is brown and used to be highlighted) and once her hair had been dried her hair highlights had gone much lighter which proved to me that this product does do something other than protecting your hair from the sun. This product is also a bit like the shampoo when you pump it onto your hand it has gold shimmer in it but this doesn't come out onto your hair you can't notice it. 

This product is said to:

1. Developed with an exclusive Interbond Conditioning System
2. Boosts a powerful Fade Resist Complex and a protective micro-net technology
3. Infused with a UV filter to resist damaging sun rays
4. Plus cranberry oil and ceramide for conditioning and enhancing
5. Unveils healthier, more shiny and manageable hair.

Its a serum that was given to me by my hairdresser I use this product on dry hair but only use a small amount as if you use too much it can make your hair look quite greasy it says on the packaging to mainly focus on the ends and as my hair is only dyed at the ends this is the only place that I use it. This product helps to protect colour and smooth-fly aways. I only use this product a few times in the week and usually when I have straightened my hair. 

Collection 2000 Cream Puff 

Hey Girls, I rarely look at Collection 2000 products when I go into Boots but I think I’m going to have to start having a little look more often since I've been seeing some good reviews about their products.  I picked up the Cream Puff Lip cream since I’d seen some reviews online about it and they all seemed good and I was looking for a new matt lip product.

The Lip cream gives a velvet matt finish to your lips adding lots of colour as well, there are 4 shades to choose from: Cotton Candy, Fairy Cake, Powder Puff and Angel Delight I have Cotton candy which is a dark pinkish sort of colour, the colours that are available are mainly nude colours. The product doesn't have the usual type of smell that some lip products smell like in Boots or Super drug it has a strong vanilla scent that is hard to miss. As this is a very matt product I don’t like to just run the ‘wand’ applicator across my lips as this applies a lot of the product, I like to dab the wand onto my lips which allows me to build up the amount of lip cream I want and how much colour I want on my lips, I also do this because if you do put quite a lot of product onto your lips the vanilla scent can become quite overpowering. When I wore this lip cream for the first time a friend of mine commented on the colour of my lips saying that they were really nice and what had I used so this is defiantly a keeper especially since it only costs £2.99 in Boots. I love the way the lip cream feels on your lips with some lip products your lips tend to feel sticky or heavy and I'm always conscious that the product could have gone on my teeth well once this lip cream is put on your lips I can’t tell that I have anything on my lips and when you rub your lips together you still can’t tell that you have any product on there.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

Hey Guys, I'm a lover of Soap & Glory and I recently purchased the Sugar Crush Body Scrub. 

I have to start by saying how amazing this product smells to me the lime is the main smell of the product and the scrub leaves your skin smelling fresh afterwards. The Sugar scrub is made up from: smashed brown sugar & sweet lime, almond oil & macadamia grains. You use this body scrub in the shower and can use it however much you like or as Soap & Glory say ' Use your Soap & Glory in the shower once, twice, or three times weekly, depending on the level of scaliness you struggle with. (Four times-even if you've ever been labelled ‘old lizard legs)'

You really get your moneys worth of this product it is a pretty large tub and lasts a long time depending on the rate you use it. I bought mine from Boots for £8 which I think is a reasonable price for a body scrub that works. I also recently found out that this product was voted best body scrub by essentials best beauty buys of 2011.

Balmi lip balm

Hey Guys, I recently purchased a 'Balmi' which is a lip balm that has recently been introduced to boots. If your like me and your forever loosing your lip balms whether its at the bottom of your bag or drawers you should invest in a balmi.

The balmi is a ball shape which when you twist the cap you then have the lip balm. The lip balm is very moisturising containing: Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Jojoba oil and as the lip balm is the mould of a ball you are able to apply the product quickly without having to get messy fingers. The balmi also has UVA protection and SPF15 which constantly protects your lips. I have the strawberry flavour balmi in boots there were 4 flavours to choose from: mint, strawberry, raspberry and coconut however if you go onto the balmi website there is one other flavour blackcurrant. 

In boots these are £4.99 ( *click HERE to see boots) and are worth it.
Check out the Balmi website to find out more HERE.
