Hair Factor no2!

 As a complement from the previous article The Hair factor there are some more tips to help all of you who wanna try dye their hair at home .Actually i do for years following those rules and i've never been disappointed by the result!
I have been to the almost extreme...I'm a naturally brunette and i have tried red,bronze,purple red and lately light brown.

As I've said in The Hair factor the tones that suit more to the brunettes are 3,4,5 or 6 ..and to the tones that suit to the naturally blondes usually are 1,2,7 ! But someone might be a naturally blond but looks better in warm tones (such as pink,red,orange yellow) or the opposite ! So she'll have to use a hair colour that has warm tones inside (3,4,5,6)

Extra advise always use a tone..don't use colours without a tone...they are very difficult as colours to look good on you.

Dont think that choosing a hair colour close to your natural will look good! if the tone is wrong it'll make you look pale,or extra pink ,it depends your skin!
first number is colour second is tone and third is secondary tone..0 means that the colour will be more vibrant

Also for you that you are more daring and you wanna use a professional colour! (it mean you will buy the colour and then the peroxide of hydrogen extra) you can do mix-ups.You can take one natural hair colour (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 checkThe Hair factor) and combine it with an other with the same base ( or not but the numbers need to be close for example a 9 and an 8 or a 2 and a3) but the second will have the tone you want! The reason to do that is to be more sure for the result you want! For example I naturally have a hair colour 5.4 (i belong to the warm colours)and I wanted to go for a dark honey-colour so I used an 8 plus a 7.3 !So my base is something in the middle of 8 and 7 and my tone is 3 !

 





Now the most important think that no colourist wanna share with you a very important factor is the
peroxide of hydrogen ! They have numbers starting from 10-40! 40 is extra dangerous and i would not recommend using it at home ,it is usually used for beached! And now the point of those numbers is...that as many numbers of colour you wanna change if you multiply them with 10 you have the peroxide of hydrogen you need!for example if you have a 6 and you want to go for an 8 you need a peroxide of hydrogen number 20 (8-6=2    2*10=20!) If you have a 6 and you want a 9 then you use a peroxide of hydrogen #30 ,because 9-6=3   3*10=30



 Here are some colour/tones to help you pick colour and tone! Rember always to choose correctly cold or warm!










Have fun! If you follow those tips comment your experience!!!

Lovely Me:ex - Magic Pink Powder Mask Review



Hello :)

Today’s post will be a review of a product I recently purchased from Yesstyle.com. It’s called the Lovely Me:ex – Magic Pink Powder Mask (in Blue)



As you might know I am a sucker for any skin product that contains salicylic acid, which has helped me tremendously with my mild acne and this mask contains that as well as calamine and other ingredients that promise “…a flawless solution in easing skin problems and provides care for troubled skin areas by softening flaky, dead skin cells”. 


Product description:

The Me:ex – Magic Powder Mask comes in a container shaped like a little kid’s face, which has to be the cutest packaging ever! The box it came in also has the same design on the front and something written in Korean… I can’t read it, but I’m sure it says lovely things hehe




For those of you who don’t understand Korean, the box has instructions in English on the side. Overall, you get a warm, fuzzy feeling just by looking at the packaging, let alone experiencing the magic inside :P






 

The texture of the mask itself is very unique. I wouldn’t exactly describe it as powder (even though the product name contains the word); it’s more of a gel meets cream texture… Even though it dries completely to a powdery substance while you have it on, it kind of looks like sorbet ice cream in its container ;P 




And it smells like ice cream too!



Here is a close up where you can better see the color and the texture of the mask





The product description also states that you should apply this mask after applying toner. I am not the biggest fan of using facial masks after applying skin care products so I just skipped that step. I am pleased to report that my skin did not react badly to this decision – and I have pretty sensitive skin so it was a bit of a risk :S


Product Performance:

Like I mentioned before, the mask dries completely within 10-15 minutes and then you’re supposed to rinse off with lukewarm water and carry on with your regular skin care routine. To be honest with you, I pretty much expected the best from this mask (because of the salicylic acid) and I got what I wanted: my skin tone looked even, smooth, the redness was gone and I looked like I had just woken up from my beauty sleep. It didn’t irritate my skin in any way and I have to say that this is the most soothing face mask I currently own; from beginning to the end, all it does even after I remove it is sooth my skin and make it velvet soft as well as hydrated :)


…Concluding:

✔ Product packaging: cutest, most fun thing EVER

✔ Product performance: AWESOME. Great for people with sensitive, flaky, dry skin or anyone who wants a good product that delivers but doesn’t irritate.

✔ Yesstyle.com has this product listed as 13.38 euro (or $18), which is a bit pricy but totally worth the investment. 

 ✔ Always test the products on a small surface beforehand, just to be on the safe side of things ;)

Let me know if you try this out and what your thoughts are in the comment section below!!!
