Review: SCHWARZKOPF XXL Mystic Violet hair dye.

Review: XXL mystic violet.
A couple of weeks ago I decide my hair needed a change. So I went out to SuperDrug and went straight to the Schwarzkopf section as it is the most reliable hair dye I have ever used, but only with natural colours.. I've used unnatural colours from here before but I've never really been too sure about them.
Anyway, I was looking at the colours and this purple hair dye caught my eye.
I decided to go out on a whim and buy it (what could really go wrong, right?) The worse that could've gone wrong was that it didn't work on my hair, which at the time was light brown.
HINT; if you've never used this brand before please do a skin test because all your hair falling out or skin burning is not a great thing :')
So yeah, I bought it and when I got home I looked at reviews online on YouTube and blogs like this one. Most people said the hair colour didn't show through or didn't take to their hairs, but they all had pretty dark hair anyway.
I dyed my hair, starting at the roots then going to the ends and waited 45 minutes for it (slightly longer than stated but best to be on the safe side..)
When I washed my hair out it looked really dark but as I dried it and set it how I wanted you could see the brightness coming through. I actually loved the colour BUT it faded so quickly over the past two weeks, especially it being a permanent colour. At the moment it's a slightly faded greyish/Lilac it took me a couple of days to get used to but I actually love it, it's kind of a 90's faded, grungy colour.
I definitely recommend it to anyone with lighter hair and I will definitely be going back to this colour.
Thankyou for reading this, even if it is more of a story than a review heheh.

First Post, D.I.Y Ring Choker- EASY.

Hi guys!
So this is my first blog post, so I am a little nervous about posting here, but I thought that as this is my first blog - i'd post something quick, easy and simple but also looks super cute :)

There are multiple ways to make these chokers.
This is the way I have decided to present it to you today, it takes about half an hour MAX to make and will last for a long time if you treat it nicely.

So for this choker I used;
-scissors
-a round metal hoop (or you can use chain hoops)
-Elastic (Which you can buy from any chain supermarket or diy and craft shops)
-And a needle and thread.

Firstly I gathered all my materials and measured the meter elastic around my neck until it was the right tightness for me, then cut it to that length. (You dont have to worry about leaving any space for sewing because the material is stretchy and will stretch to the size/shape of your neck afterwards.)

I then took my metal hoop and folded the end of the elastic around the inside of the hoop and sewed it into place with a dark thread. (Please ask an adult for help if you're unsure of what to do or can't trust yourself with needles hahah!)
And also, don't worry about how messy the sewing is too because it'll be on the inside :)

All I had left to do was take the other side of the elastic and sew it around the other side of the hoop and I was done! It is that easy!

Once you've made it all you have to do is wear it and look fabulous! It should slide over your head with no problem and fit securely around your neck, like in the photo below.

Quick, Easy and SO simple to make.

I hope you liked my first blog post guys and if there are any questions at all about this project or if you want to see me make anything else you like the look of, feel free to drop me a message.

Oh and don't forget to follow me :D
