Goodbye purple...Hello brown :) & MAC Surf Baby

Ah...relief! The 'Chocolate Truffle' took ok on top of the purple, hurrah :) I still think there is a hint of the purple throughout but am impressed overall and quite liking the new colour! Really feeling like I should change my blog name though...

I must say, this round of home-dyeing was the easiest and most comfortable yet! My sister Donna kindly put the dye on for me, and for a change from the norm I got in the shower to wash the dye out, rather than sitting, breaking my neck over the side of the bath whilst Donna washes it out (like we usually do!). Only left the dye on for about 10 minutes, the smell was lovely, my hair is shiny and I like the colour.

Overall, I am very impressed with L'oreal Casting Creme Gloss and shall be using again <3 Well, I need to anyway as I bought 2 packs and only needed the 1! I do want to try one of the more reddish colours though, like what Cheryl had <3

Recommendations of brands and colours welcome :) What hair colour are you loving right now?

Here's a few photos of me 'posing' with my new colour (taken tonight in my bedroom. I haven't seen it in natural daylight yet but hope it's even nicer!)

  

The lipstick I am wearing is my new MAC Hibiscus, from the Surf Baby collection, which arrived today at work :)

This was the only product I bought from the Surf Baby collection.

I usually go for pink lipsticks, so this is very different. I am unsure about it at the moment, but it might grow on me. I think I am just so use to pinky colours, purples and sometimes red. I haven't seen this in natural light yet so it might be nicer then. I think I will like it more then, as these photos were taken in my room, with the flash, and I look pretty pale, with dark hair and lipstick. I do love the texture though, it is a Cremesheen lipstick and therefore is really glossy and smooth to apply.

A few photos below:

I was going to crop this to just the lips but I like how shiny and sleek my hair looks :)

Hope you have all had a good day :)

Change is coming...

TBC...*fingers crossed*

Just a general update :)

I have a follower! Hello to Jade H of All Things Fabulous, my first follower :)

I am still very new to this whole blogging business and need to get myself started with following, and getting followers! The question is 'Where do I start??'. I feel slightly clueless atm.

So today I received an email from MAC, my Surf Baby order has finally been dispatched! YAY! I only ordered the Hibiscus lipstick, can't wait for it to arrive! Hopefully it will arrive before Friday so I can sport it on my night out in Blackpool.

I'm also happy this evening to randomly see Kandee pop up on my Facebook news feed with a link to my blog, thanks Kandee :) I look forward to owning a pair of your shoes when money allows and when I can choose which pair to get, seriously TOO many cute shoes available <3

Now...hair...hair hair hair...!! I know this blog is called Blue Eyed Blonde...but I am currently a 'Purplette', however I am a natural blonde, and deep down I will always be blonde, and shall return to blonde soon :) So I didn't feel the need to change the name of my blog you see. However, more change is coming and I need advice! Before Friday preferably...

I am considering dying my hair again!!

The purple has faded, my roots are showing and my hair just needs a top-up of colour. Also, it's my cousins wedding (yay!) in just over 3 weeks and I feel like I should have a more 'natural' look for it. But I then want to return to purple a few days later in time for the mighty Download Festival!

Is this a good idea?? Will my hair fall out?? Will brown take over faded purple?? Will the purple take back over the brown after??

HELP!?

Here's some photo's of the current state of my hair:

 I couldn't tell you how many different colours I can currently see in my hair! I'm especially loving the yellow patch which has appeared :)

Help would be greatly appreciated!

I want Kandee!

OMG, I am soooo sad right now :'( Last night I discovered Kandee shoes have a Facebook page (Kandee), so I became a fan, then saw that they were in the middle of a 'sample sale', something which I had never heard of before! So, I had a look but sadly, most were a size 6 and 7, I am a size 5! They had some great deals on shoes which have been used in magazine photo shoots. I almost bought (with the last of my savings!) the Dollymix wedges, which I have wanted for ages, just £10 from £99! But I didn't, then decided to go for it...to find they had just sold out, gutted!

To make myself happy again, I had a browse through Kandee's albums and my eyes were drawn to some of the AW11 sneak previewed shoes, Cherry Cola and the other un-named glitter wedges, me thinks I shall be saving to purchase a pair of one of these when they come out :-)

For now, I still liked the Sours range, and a few other pairs, but do not have the money at present. Then I checked Kandee's Facebook again just a few minutes ago to have another look and to my excitement I read they are now doing a sale on all their shoes!! JOY! I headed straight for their website www.kandeeshoes.com and checked out what was what...my heart sunk <\3 The Sours were all reduced, by 50%, but all size 5's and even 6's (as a desperate resort!) had sold out :(

It is fair to say I am now a very sad girl.

I will one day own a pair of Kandee shoes <3

Elvis Jesus: Up to 80% Off Sale

Today I received an email from Secret Sales, containing details of their latest sales, and on that email was Elvis Jesus. I like Elvis Jesus clothes but they are quite pricey, so this was the perfect opportunity! I have been browsing and found 2 tops I like and want...saving £91 off the original total, such a good offer...

Unfortunately, the one item I PRAYED was on there isn't :( The pink sequin mermaid vest, which is sold out everywhere and I have never been able to find! So I am sad about that. But as for these other 2 tops...

TBC...

MAC Surf Baby

Today it appears MAC have released their Surf Baby collection...YAY!!

I haven't looked in detail yet but saw the promo pics, which have been around for some time now. I have my eye on one of the lipsticks, and the lipglass which I read was a re-promote of Venomous Villains Strange Potion.

I only own MAC lipsticks at the moment. I'm a lippie lover :)

I'm now going to have a look at what is available, luckily I have a bit saved at the moment, though that's quickly disappearing... I also just FINALLY bought the map tote from Urban Outfitters, which I have been after since December and could no longer find in stores! So excited, when it arrives at my office it'll be like Christmas <3

The Wedding

Apparently there was a wedding today?...

{:-)

So, today Prince William married Kate Middleton <3

I was on the way home from a holiday in London and Whitstable with my parents and sister this morning. We stopped by at a pub in Brentwood, Essex to watch on the way home. We hadn't planned to watch, but then got hyped up by all the media coverage and listening to Radio 1 and decided to stop and the nearest pub. We arrived JUST in time, as Kate began the long walk down the aisle.

I must say, I struggled to hold the tears back, Kate looked stunning, the dress was amazing, William looked lovely and the whole wedding was beautiful <3

I went patriotic through my nail art today, a Union Jack design on my 'ring finger'.

Whilst away on holiday I joined in with the Royal memorabilia craze and bought a few things...not the standard commemorative plates, mugs or flags though...

Barbie crop top <3 Miss Selfridge (Selfridges, London) - excuse the shadow!

A novelty, comedy item!!

Nails Inc 'Kate' nail polish <3 

I did a tad bit of spending whilst away, including the above (went a bit over my budgets!!), I shall try to blog about my hauls tomorrow ;-)

xXx

p.s. I now have a new laptop! My Acer was now 7 years old and useless, so I treated myself. This should now make blogging, photo uploading and EVERYTHING easier, therefore meaning I shall be able to actually blog, yayness!
