Braving the pink // semi permanent hair dye!

A while a go I decided I wanted my hair dip dyed but didn't want to pay all that money out to have it done (I would be allowed pink for school anyway) so Mum went out and got me a semi permanent hair dye. I was a little bit worried because I have never done anything to my own hair and it wasn't a brand that I had heard of before. I tried to find reviews on it but there was hardly any. Anyway, I ended up going for it and dip dying it pink! 

This was the product:

Please excuse all the books in the back ground haha!! 

I got this product from a place called 'savers' where I live but since then I have seen it in lots of other discount shops and even in some bigger stores like super drug and boots. I found this product so easy to apply and it didn't dry my hair out at all (my hair goes really dry and stretchy). I didn't leave it in for the full time recommended because I was looking for a paler pink and the colour was perfect. This product is great for if you want a more subtle look rather than bright colours :) 

It was a while since I used this product (as you will see from the photo: no fringe and a pout.. Lovely haha) but I am now braving the whole head for a performance I am doing! It only lasts for about 2-3 days until it starts to fade. I wash my hair every day though and the colour didn't fully go away for much longer after this. 

If you are looking for a subtle hair dye product, I would definitely recommend this one. This is the colour it left my hair...

The fact this picture is now on the Internet for everyone to see makes me very, very sad haha! Anyway, if you ignore the hair style and the face and.. Everything apart from the pink colour, you can see how the product works! 

What hair colouring product would you recommend?

Christmas Day #17!

So I've already tweeted what my blog is on today which is Prom! 

Bit of back ground to it, Prom is a formal ball/meal to celebrate leaving school. I went to a local school where I live, called the Elizabethan High School, I left school in 2012 meaning my prom was also in 2012!
Because it was so long ago I can't remember the exact make-up products I used purely because I'm forgetful and it is nothing special, I looked awful!

So I did my own hair and make-up for Prom because I wasn't too sure about going in general and wasn't that bothered about it, I don't do formal events!
It's a great night, but not my thing!

Dress: So I wore a long silk dress which was dark grey (ish) colour which had small detailing at the top. It had ruffles around the cleavage area and a strap with little sparkly bits on one shoulder. If I ever refer to this dress, I call it the "binbag" lol.

Accessories: I wore this with silver strappy shoes with a 2 inch heel just so I didn't have to take them off and also a small silver clutch from Dorothy Perkins. To top it all off I wore my mum's wedding Tiara which was beautiful and some small diamond earrings.

Make up: I can't tell you specifics! However I went for a nude look with a pink lip (when I went to prom, if I'm honest, I had no real clue about make up style) Then I put some fake eyelashes on aswell!

Hair: I curled my own hair as you would normally then brushed it out to make looser curls and put a ton of hair spray on it!

This is what I looked like, I didn't take many photo's! 
If you have any photo's from your prom tweet and show us at @scoshgirls or comment down below!!
Hope you enjoyed this

My favourite electrical hair item!

Hello! This is just a short blog on my favourite Hair item which is electrical!

My all time favourite is.......
Nicky Clarke Desired Salon Professional Hair Straightener

Info:

• 230c top temperature
• Variable heat settings – adjust the temperature to suit your hair type
• Auto shut off after 60 mins! 

These are the product I always reach for. For curls, waves and straightening.
I literally love these and they do everything so well. These literally take 2 minutes to heat up too which is soooo good if you're in a rush or you're impatient (like me) I've had mine for 3 years+ and I love these!
I've tried GHD's and they to me, are alot worse than these. They ruin your hair more and don't hold as well as these. 
£31.99 at boots at the minute saving £50.00
AMAZING XMAS PRESENT!

Abbie's Extension Babble!

 Hello guys! My random post is going to be on my Lush hair extensions! (interesting) obviously. 
I really have always wanted long long long hair! You see all of these "tumblr girls" with gorgeous long hair thats wavy and I wanted this badly.
Now growing your hair just takes so long especially my own as it takes soooooo long. I tried Boots skin, hair and nails tablets which improved my hair in general however it didn't really lengthen it. I also used Lee stafford hair length products which also didn't exactly lengthen the hair either.

So one day I just woke up and thought what the hell I'm just going to buy some extensions! I'd heard of Lush human hair ones before so I automatically went for these, they are also a reasonable price.

I got mine in Golden blonde and died them my own hair colour. 
So yeah I'm still not sure how much I actually like them because I'm not used to them. But I've got to say they're like an accessory they completely change your outfit and your look!
If you have thin hair (like mine) they are harder to place in the hair and for them to stay so I upbrush the part I'm going to clip them too so it has texture to grip on!

Mine cost £49.99 with the contents of:

1 x 8" wide weft (4 clips attached) 2 x 6" wide weft (3 clips attached) 2 x 4" wide weft (2 clips attached) 1 x 3" wide weft (2 clips attached) 2 x 2" wide weft (1 clip attached) 

Which is 100grams of hair! :-)

That's my awkward selfie with the extensions in (I curled them)

Jamie's favourites!

So, I have a pretty busy weekend this week! Last night I went out for a lovely meal with a few friends and today I am rehearsing for 'Goodnight, my love...' Which we are putting on in 17 days which is really scary! I am also in the process of making myself an costume to wear for it. 

Also, this weekend, a friend of mine has decided to set up a netball team which I am hoping to be joining soon which should be really good fun!

Today I am blogging about my favourite things and hopefully I will be able to answer the tweets and emails you guys have been sending in! 

So first up I was asked my favourite perfume. This one is easy for me, I absolutely love Taylor Swifts Enchanted Wonderstruck! It is perfect for day time and night time and has a sweet scent (to me it smells like vanilla and flowers). It also comes in a really pretty bottle so makes a perfect Christmas gift. 

Next you asked me my favourite book which is really hard because I love so many! I am a huge Harry potter nerd and my favourite one of those would have the be the half blood prince but I also love all of Philippa Gregory's book (she write historical fiction) and I love Perks of being a wallflower. I also like to read plays and I think Journeys End is one of my favourites :) 

My favourite music was also pretty tough because I have so many to chose from but my favourite band is The Killers. I went to see them last year and they were absolutely incredible! I also love a bit of Taylor Swift, I think she is so talented. 

My favourite place has to be Sylvia Young theatre school in London. This is where I go during my holidays and it is the home of some of my best memories! I have met some absolutely incredible people there and I have never felt more comfortable in a place. It is amazing and I would recommend to anyone to go there. 

 Me and my lovely friends from Sylvia's :)

My 'couldn't do without' make up product is benefits fake up. I get really bad dark circles and this is my saving grace. I use it under my eyes every single day and because it is lighter that using a foundation it doesn't 'clog' it up and make the problem worse. It is amazing :D 

My favourite shop is probably Zara. I think they do really unusual clothes, and because I like to dress quite smartly, it is perfect for me. It is a little bit expensive so I don't shop there all the time (most of my clothes are from New Look because you can get a student discount if you have an NUS card) but I like to treat myself now and again. I also really like urban outfitters and if you are stuck for buying presents for someone you should check them out because they do really good gifts for someone who has a certain I interest. For example is your friend loves hot men, or dogs, or hot men with dogs haha.. 

Finally, my favourite film and TV shows. My favourite film, without a doubt, is Forrest Gump. I have never seen my step dad cry at anything but this. It is such a wonderful film with incredible acting! My favourite TV show is harder because I love so many. I am a bit of a oncer (Once Upon a Time) and I love Friends. At the minute I am also rewatching my White Queen box set. As you know, I love history and the war of the roses is my favourite topic to study. I really like this show and I love Aneurin Bernard who plays King Richard. He is really talented and plays the role so so well!! Ooh and can't forget Horrible Histories... Now that is amazing! 

Anyway, I have finished waffling now! I hope you all have a lovely weekend and remember to give us a follow on twitter and share out blogs @scoshgirls 

Ooh, here is a picture of Aneurin. You are very welcome. 

Ps. A massive well done to Abbie and the boots team for the money raises for Children in Need. It is such an amazing cause so well done girls :)
