Rain Rain Go Away!

It is raining again and I can't say I am too chuffed about it. No sooner do I banish my winter coats and settle down to eat fish & chips by the sea side when it decides summer is over! This is not what I signed up for, continuous rain. I am getting taxis to the tube stations rather than risk getting my suede shoes wet, always thinking it is a good idea when I slip them on in the morning. Unlike this picture I do not relish the rain drops that make my mascara run and my silk tops see through. Basically I need to invest in an umbrella, preferably one that does not blow inside out at every gust, is small enough to fit in my bag and please make one with a cute print. Black is depressing!!!!!

 So yeah, readers I do not like rain!!! 

From Hungers Games to Dior

Can we just stop for a second and appreciate the beauty of this woman!! Okay so she, herself has admitted these photos are heavily Photoshopped, but still! 

These are the new images of Jennifer Lawrence, well know for her role in the Hunger Games, in her ad campaign for Dior.

 

 

Pastel Power: L'Oréal Paris Feria Pastel Toning Conditioner in Pink Panther

A/W 13 Fashion Week was jam packed full of ambitious hairstyles. Some you would wear to the office and some you just wouldn't. Perhaps the Givenchy show in Paris is one of the latter.

But, never one to give up on a trend I thought I would give it a go. Armed with my latex gloves and a tube full of pink toner I set to the challenge. I used L'Oréal Paris Feria Pastel Toning Conditioner in Pink Panther, hoping to get beautiful dip dyed ends that would make my hipster sister jealous. The directions say to leave it on for 15 minutes, but after 30 I felt the toner had sufficient time to sink into my porous, damaged tips. I was surprised to see the water running off the hair was clear, so I wasn't expecting brilliant results.

Once I dried my hair, this was the result.

You can see some hint of pink...

My verdict on this is pretty underwhelming. It washed out after one wash, but if you want it for a festival or party then it would be perfect. I did get a lot of compliments. The girls in the Vogue office loved it so much they asked me to write it on the blog, you can see that HERE.  The L'Oreal Paris Feria Pastel Toning Conditioner in Pink Panther is £5.79, available from boots or HERE.

 Stay beautiful,

XOXO
