Michael Kors

I got a beautiful Michael Kors necklace for my 21st from my dad. I love it so much, the fact that it is such a simple design it will never go out of style. Definitely a handy one to have to make a casual outfit that little bit more dressy but it also goes well with comfy casuals.

I told my dad I don't like spending large amounts of money on one piece of jewellery when I know I could get a few pieces of  good quality jewellery for that price. So he brought me into Fields jewellers and I picked out this piece, I just thought it was a gorgeous timeless piece that I will always be able to wear.

Lots of Love

Clairol's Root Touch-up Review!

Hello again! So I've been putting off spending €150 to get my hair done, but was in need of a root touch up as my natural hair colour is brown. So I decided to look at the root touch home dyes. I  was  nervous though because I've home dyed my hair when I was younger so many times. It always turned out well when I was dying it darker tones like browns and reds, but when I home dyed it blonde to top up the professional dyed blonde it came out horribly wrong and it could happen again!!

So I picked up a Clairol's root touch up, shade medium blonde. My roots where dark brown and I had a blonde balayage situation going on to begin with. Before applying any hair dye I watched 3 to 4 videos on YouTube of how to blend the hair dye on your roots with the rest of your hair. I had a fair idea of how to do it from watching the hairdressers when I go to the salon but I found this helpful Anyways I followed the simple directions on the box, applied the dye to my roots left it for what felt like the longest 10 minutes ever! After washing and blow drying it, This was the result! I'm delighted with it. I basically achieved my topped up balayage look and only spent €10 to do so. I don't think the picture does it justice but trust me it's really well blended and the top colour is a lot lighter in person, It was a dull day so my camera to pick up the colour properly.

Obviously this is just how my hair turned out and took to the colour , everyone's hair is different and I  will always recommend going to a professional salon to get a colour done over a home dye if you can afford it. I've got fast hair growth and it's very expensive to be going to the hair dressers every 4/5 weeks so I will definitely be using this again in between salon visits. :)
