Topshop Lip Bullet | Wine Gum



I can never leave Topshop empty handed, I always feel the need to buy something and this is how I required this Lip Bullet. 

I've always had pink or nude lip colours and fancied a change. I couldn't talk myself into buying MAC's Rebel so when I saw this in Topshop for only £8 it had to be done, and when wearing this one day I was asked whether I was wearing Rebel.


This Lip Bullet is in the colour Wine Gum. The colour is very pigmented and is a deep wine red colour. The product itself is very moisturising when applying it onto the lips which is good for chapped lips as it doesn't sink into the cracks and dry up, Leaves a satin finish. Wearing this all day it's very long lasting meaning I only had to reapply it around twice in the day. I usually choose to wear this on a night out as it gives a perfect finishing look with winged eyeliner. 


The one tip I would say to take on board with this lip product is always check your teeth after applying, not the best look when you have lipstick stuck on your teeth.

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?
