    From Black to Blonde Hair!

    I hate it when I go to the salon, and people tell me they CAN'T turn my hair white blonde! Seriously... It's like WTF! So... I ended up doing it myself! And this is how!!!! FYI: It can damage your hair fooreal.

    What you will need:

    *  10 or 20 developer, prefer 10
    *  30 developer
    *  T18 toner, or T14 toner
    *  Brush and mixing bowl
    *  Bleach powder
    *  Aluminum foil
    *  Gloves, of course

    (Honestly you can use any brand, anything will work from cheap to expensive, yes more expensive stuff will work better, but cheap stuff works just as good.)


    Tips Before Reading On:

    Bleach powder will be mixed with 30 developer.

    Wella Color Charm Toner will be mixed with 10 developer.

    Any brand developer works!



    Start off with bleaching of course. You want to use a bleach from Sally's. Wellite or Ion, anything is good. Now don't buy the ones that come package with everything in a box... in my opinion they don't work, like from Wal-mart. When you buy the bleach, you can buy the packet or the tub, I bought the tub, because i bleach my whole hair. When bleaching use aluminum foil, you don't have to but, it helps heat your hair faster for it to process to banana yellow, which is the color you want. Put the aluminum foil underneath the part of your hair which you are bleaching and use the brush and just spread the bleach evenly. DO NOT spread onto the scalp! It will BURN! Leave it in for 30 minutes, rinse and repeat two more times. When you do this you must part your hair, grab about three inches, width long. If you have longer hair, you will not need a longer foil. I usually do five by eight and just fold in half with your hair in the foil. In the end you will have that banana yellow which is your goal. If there are parts that are not yellow... just put some more bleach in that area, if you have any left, leave on for five more minutes and wash out. Btw, don't worry about your hair being dried when repeating... it's not necessary... if you blow dry it'll just do more damage! When you first start... your hair must be dried though.

    Your hair is now banana yellow. Which means it's time to tone it down. All you do is use toner T18, mix it with a 10 developer. I use 10, because it deposits color in. 20 lifts and deposits. 30 is an extra lift.  Leave that in for 10 to 15 minutes, no longer or your will turn GRAY!


    DIRECTIONS! When you buy the bleach and toner, it will give you instruction on how much developer to mix it in with... mostly the ratio is 1:2, which means 1 oz of bleach, and double, 2 oz of developer.







    I am currently a honey caramel color now, I went from black to blonde to brown. I going for chestnut red color next.

    Elf's 10 Piece Brush Set

    So I went to Ross Dress For Less, looking for Bedhead Dumb Blond, because it's always cheaper there!

    I've been hearing good things about Elf's products, but never really tried it. I looked up some of their brush sets online... and was totally going to purchase the twelve piece set. For someone like me who wears a lot of pigments.. I sure don't have a brush set, LOL. Anyways I ended up looking at elf products Ross had... they all came in like a gift set... some had eyeshadow, eyeliner, and a brush, or three eyeshadows and one brush.

    An older lady walk near me and put a stack of elf products right underneath the shelf i was looking at..... and there they were! Elf's 10 piece brush set! It was fate! Fate brought us together, so I just had to get it... there was only four stacks... minus one from me! They're $9.99, so get yourself one now! Before it's all GONE!!!





    I also bought a palette from forever21, it's a natural palette. Honestly, i don't love it, but i'm using it for the brow bone area. Here's a picture of myself, with all the colors using my new brushes! This look is like an everyday look, or romantic look.
     






    Another big, big SECRET i have is! MAC for cheap! Concord Mills! I haven't been in this store.... for about a year now, and I went in, just to go in and waste time! And OMG, they had MAC covering the whole place, LOL. Some stuff were okay. They had some Hello Kitty MAC, a bunch of eyeshadows, and a couple of pigments, along with primers, and blushes. They have a new shipment every month so go in every MONTH! Some of their stuff are okay, they aren't the best thing, but your saving money on better quality makeup. It's The Cosmetic Company Store, which is across from Coach. I bought this Rose pigment by MAC, they had about eight other colors as well. They also carry Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, Clique, and much more, so treat yourself and have fun shopping!!! Enjoy!






    Later gators!

    Sephora!

    I bought some Sephora products today!


    Sephora Base Primer



    Sephora Hydrating & Smoothing Foundation




    Sephora Colorful Palette, Kiss From 10




    Sephora Atomic Volume Mascara





    I love this stuff! It works great! The base primer, mascara & foundation. But this is the first time I've used foundation all over. I usually use a lighter color for my eyes as a concealer and that's about it. I guess that's why I don't have pimples, LOL!

    The eyeshadow... It's an okay for me, it wasn't all that great. I think my eBay eyeshadow palettes work better than that, but it was matted eyeshadow and had a shimmer to it. It was very glittery. I usually use pigments so that might be one of the reasons why I didn't like it. Pigments to me are more defining. They're more bold and beautiful.

    The down fall is... I have pimples NOW! Ahhhhhhhh! But these pimples are small and are only on my forehead, another thing why i probably have pimples are maybe because I don't wash my face! LOL! I mean i do, but just with water. Seriously though, i don't wash my face... sometimes, i leave my make up on when i go to bed! I know! It's BAD for your face, but i do it! hahaha! I've been using some make up wipes lately though, since there are pimples popping everywhere from using the foundation all over.

    My face doesn't really look any different; I will do a before and after, with foundation, and a before with no make up on. BTW i dont have bags underneath my eyes... that's eyeliner from last night, LOL!
