Review: Clairol Natural Instincts Hair Dye

Hey Beauties! :)


So last night I dyed my hair with Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G, Lightest Golden Brown. My hair is a shade darker and it is a beautiful colour. It feels so healthy, and this hair dye doesn't damage your hair as bad! :)

     
All right, above is my before picture. Light Brown/Dark Blonde Hair. Yes, I have grey-blue eyes.


                                      
The second picture, with my hair dyed. It doesn't really appeal as darker in pictures as it does in real life. Yum, I have just woken up! Wake-y, Wake-y! :)


Review:
Packaging: 9/10
It caught my attention with 'Natural'. And then with the model's picture. It comes neatly packed with all you need; 2 pairs of gloves, conditioner, the dyes and the two week revitaliser! 


Smell: 9.5/10
Honestly, this is the best smelling hair dye I've tried yet. It smelt kind of like fruit to me *embarrassed face* and the conditioner is so yummy! <3 I had dyed my Mom's hair two days before and her dye (Nice and Easy Foam) smelt so horrible, I swear if I got any closer it would burn my nose :P 


Colour: 8/10
I like it, but I just wish it was a tad bit darker, I want something more noticeable. 


Overall: 26.5/30
My hair doesn't feel dry and damaged, it feels soft and silky! <3 I do believe that my hair got a very subtle amount of damage, hardly any from this hair dye. I will continue to use this brand as it comes with many shades :)

Mini Thrift + Drugstore Haul!

Hey Beauties!
Today I went to a local thrift store and Zeller's, which I guess you could count as a drug store ;) For those who don't know, a thrift store is a store with second-hand clothing for cheap and Zeller's is Target's sister. But the thing that really excites me is that all Zeller's stores are being taken over by Target!! :) I'll start with the thrift store. I got 2 things, I guess it just wasn't my day :( 

 This is one of my favourite shirts! :) It's originally from Blue Notes and it's so cute and feminine! :D It was only $7.99 when it's originally, like $20.

 This is my baby <3 It's a hot pink button down shirt from Hollister. It was only $4.99 and it is my favourite shirt. It's so cute and simple and chic! :') Tears of joy, Ha ha.

This is my hair dye. I'm going to be dying my hair tonight. It is the Clairol Natural Instincts in 11G Lightest Golden Brown. My Mom helped pick this out :) I will do a review on it tonight with before and after pics :)

These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things TAG

As apart of my 'birthday resolutions' I want to get posting on here more. My birthday is at the end of March :) I love doing and creating tags, so this was a 'must' for me :) I don't know if this is already a tag, but if it isn't...voila! Feel free to email me your favourite things or leave a comment below or even make a video on Youtube about it :)

 Current shampoo?
Tresemme's Clean & Natural

Favourite store?
Why do I do this to myself? Haha, I can't pick just one, but I guess I'll go with Stitches and Bath and Body Works :)


Favourite perfume at the moment?
Country Chic by Bath and Body Works. I'm just loving it!

My Current Hair Obsessions & My Hair Care Routine! :)

Hi beauties!
These are my current hair obsessions!
Tresemme's Clean & Natural Shampoo ~ $6.50 - Zellers (Target)
Exact's White Peony Conditioner ~ $ Unknown - Grocery stores
Infusium23's Heat Activated Leave In Conditioner ~ $3.00 - Zellers (Target), Drugstores
Conair Shower Comb (Done a review on it, price unknown)
Goody Paddle Brush & Bobby pins (Prices unknown, store unknown)


Care Routine!
So, in the shower/bath I use my Tresemme shampoo (above) and massage it into my scalp, making my way down to my ends. I rinse immediately--it's not good for your hair to leave shampoo in for a long time. Then I use my Exact conditioner on the bottom half of my hair, focusing more on my ends. When I get out of the shower, I wrap my hair in a towel and get into my clothes or pyjamas. I take the towel out, spraying Infusium23's Leave-In Conditioner  onto my ends, combing it through. I comb the rest of my hair and let it air dry.


I use heat 2-4 times a month, hardly any heat is used though.

~Other hair ties

Reviews.
The Goody hair ties are a nice, non-harmful quality. They are tight enough to ensure your hair is secure, but it doesn't really tug-and-pull. They are colourful and neutral which is amazing, plus there are 62 of them! :)
 The Goody Paddle Brush is amazing! It doesn't pull your hair and it makes it so smooth and soft. Plus, it's purple :D
 The straighteners are both amazing qualities and they have heat settings. The only difference between them of course is the brand, and the ionic one is healthier for your hair and it conditions it.
