Welcome to the second ever Fab Friday ladies! Here's the first one if you missed it :)
This week has been kind of all over the place for me. It started off pretty well, lots of laughter & fun times to be had. As the week progressed, the days just seemed to get longer & the work load just seemed overwhelming. I'm already getting behind in a lot of classes :/.
I want to apologize for being so MIA blogging-wise lately :/. School has honestly just taken over & i really need to focus on that, which i hope you'll all understand ♥. On to the post!
01. Ombre hair attempt II & The Scarlet Letter ♥
As you may have read in my previous Fab Friday, i was considering ombre-ing my hair & i even bought the dye. After all your comments telling me to go for it, i finally did! Well, maybe it just didn't put enough on, or maybe it was the dye itself, but it didn't do much at all. I just went to Walmart today & bought a different dye - this stuff is scary, i must admit o_o. Frost? Eeeeep...worth a try anyway!
I'm reading The Scarlett Letter for English, and i actually really like it. It's so beautifully written & is super intriguing, it's definitely a book that i would even pick up on my own.
02. Floral flyaways & hand-me-down computers ♥
Showin' my floral cardigan-sorta-thing from Charlotte Russe some love :) - love this thing!
It was recently my mom & dad's 25th wedding anniversary, and my dad gave my lovely mother a new, pink laptop, so i got her old (crappy...ahem) one! Better than nothing i suppose.
03. Satin Taupe & b-liv skincare ♥
This past week, i did another MakeupAlley swap & this time i recieved MAC's Satin Taupe eyeshadow - it's soo lovely & smooth. I'm actually wearing it atm :). It feels so good adding eyeshadows into my MAC palette! Although i only have two so far, i feel so proud hehe :)
I was kindly sent some lovely skincare products from the line b-liv by Cellnique, and i'm genuinely enjoying them so far. A full review will be on it's way once i test 'em out for a few more weeks.
04. Random bits :)
This will never get old. NIN forever ♥.
Anyone buy anything from MAC's Venomous Villans Collection? I feel the need to make a purchase from the collection as i absolutely adore Disney, but i can't decide!

From what i have read/seen about ombre, people put bleach on the ends as apposed to a highlighting kit so that could be where you are going wrong as generally you cant lighten your hair with a dye without using some sort of pre lightener/bleach before hand. I bought bite of an apple blush and a couple of the lippies from the vv collection, all v cute but i like the blush best :)
ReplyDelete@Gemma Ahh thank you for the reassurance! I'll have to ombre this weekend :) Yeah i heard Bite of an Apple is gorg, i'll have to check it out in store x
ReplyDeleteGood luck with ombre hair part two! I haven't managed to buy anything from the VV collection, sob! ):
ReplyDeleteI hope your hair turns out how you like it.:D
ReplyDeleteI loved reading The Scarlet Letter too.:D
Have a wonderful weekend!:D

Satin Taupe is my favorite.. I've been so lazy lately and have just been wearing it as an all-over lid color almost everyday actually, with a highlight color. nice and simple and still looks nice :)
