Sonia Kashuk Contour Brush (Target)

Sephora order:
Miss Dior Cherie Deluxe Sample, Free

I got this during Macy's Friends and Family which gave me 25% off. I also had a couple gift cards, bringing the price down to about $100.

Rings from H&M and Forever 21

I REALLY want the turquoise version, not the coral, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Hat, $6.80

Hair Change: Virgin Black to Palty's Sakura Creamy

Before
Started with 2 day old hair and no makeup :(

After


Process: I used 1 1/2 boxes for Palty's Sakura Creamy. I left it in for about an hour with a shower cap on. When I applied the hair dye, I started at the roots first then worked my way down and I did it in layers. I used a hair dye brush that you can buy from Sally's. I thought the comb attachment was ineffective because my hair's so long and it didn't detangle my hair well enough.

Outcome: My bangs are A LOT lighter than the rest of my hair. I think I should just do it in layers starting from the bottom. It still looks OK and has washed out to a golden color instead of being reddish. Since I did this back in May, my roots are now showing.

NOTD: Rimmel Sunset Orange

 
Hi, long time no post... again! :(

NOTD from.. who knows when? Hehe... Anyways, here's a swatch of.. Rimmel's Sunset Orange.

I LOVE their wide brushes (gets the job done fast!), and I only need one layer! It's super affordable at around $5. The color looks more red in the bottle, but comes out more orange. But... not an ugly shade of orange, if you get what I mean. I love using this on my toes because it's a super nice color for spring and summer.
