Let's talk about hair baby, let's talk about you and me!

So I'm on our Easter Break, which translates to "Get your damn dissertation done, and do something to yourself"-vacation in my case. In other words I'm trying desperately to chase after the motivation to do my dissie AND I also decided that after over 3 weeks of being constantly sick I need to pamper and take care of myself.
My hair was the perfect thing to start with!

This is my hair on a normal day, after a normal shower.

Now I've made a post about my hair before, so some of you might now that when I say "normal shower", I mean after washing my hair with TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Shampoo, and DROWNING it in the conditioner. The photo above doesn't have the Aussie Miracle Colour Insurance in it though.
And let's not forget the fact that I went blonde-ish, and then orange in between my reds...
Anywhooooo, let me introduce another Aussie product that I might a bit in love with:

3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment!

It pretty much works as the name says, you shower, wash your hair, pop this bad boy in your hair for 3 minutes and magic happens.

So one day I hopped into the shower with my friend (the HAIR treatment that is) and had a very nice bonding moment with it:

Hair after the treatment.

I know it doesn't look much different in the photo compared to the previous one (although in my opinion it's not nearly as frizzy in the latter one), but I can assure you hair felt SO MUCH better after that.
AND THE SMELL. Aaaaahhhh~ So good. I couldn't stop sniffing my hair for a while.

I gotta admit that if there's one hair brand I love, it's Aussie. I'm even starting to think that maybe I should switch my loyal TRESemmés to Aussie shampoo and conditioner...

Take the Heat leave-in spray!

I fully well knew that I still had a nearly full bottle of Schwarzkopf's got2b guardian angel, but something (fine, it was sale) drew me to buy and try this one, and it's nearly empty. Oops. But that's probably because I ALWAYS use this when I blow-dry my hair, and I always blow-dry my hair if it's cold outside and I need to go out PRONTO. Which is always, since I'm super lazy.

Once again an awesomely smelling product from Aussie that has a surprisingly good hold as well.

I also bought myself one of these:

Blue glittery Tangle Teezer!

A someone somewhere once said that these are good, so I thought "Mmm, why not try?" and got one AND HOLY FUDGE I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING THAT GLIDES SO NICELY THROUGH WET HAIR ASAKDSKJFKDSF.

For once I can actually apply MCI or heat protection or any other leave-in treatment and brush my hair nicely, without tearing half of it in the process.

It has longer and shorter... spikes? (Are they even called spikes?)

First I was all "Ugh, I'm paying £10 for a brush," but then, if I may be honest, I wasn't disappointed. Worth the money and nowadays I carry this with me instead of a comb. I might even invest in a compact one that I can take with me everywhere instead while I leave the bigger one home.

So yeah, despite my constant colouring etc. my hair's doing actually pretty well, it's not growing fast or anything, but at least it's maintaining a healthy shine and strenght so I must be doing something right.
Something that I've started doing after I colour my hair is, going to Toni&Guy to get a bit of my ends cut so that my hair can then freely split and grow and so on. I actually should book an appointment soon since my side-buzz is starting to be quite long...

I was meant to show my make-up brushes in this post as well, but I feel this is getting a bit too long, so that has to wait for another post, sorry!
Blog ya later and stay human!

2am musings

I just washed some of my brushes (something that I haven't done in AGES) and my mind is BLOWN.
I mean...  I wish I had taken before and after photos now. And "during washing" photos as well.

As I was washing my kabuki and other powder brush the water was nearly black. WTH!? Mind you I usually always "tap" all of my brushes out as well as I can after use, but still... SO MUCH BROWN and I'm not even sure I managed to wash them completely.
My blush brush (ehehehe) of course leaked pink water for a while, but in the end the water was running quite clear.

Eyeshadow brushes were surprisingly easy, but that's probably because I usually use specific one for natural and light colours and another one for darker and bright colours, and always in between wipe and pat them as clean as I can.

I have to admit that the hardest one was my eyeliner brush (a thinner M.A.C. one), which I apparently never have posted a picture of so here you go.
You can't believe how much gel eyeliner one small brush like that can suck... let me tell you, it's A LOT. I always wipe up the excess eyeliner on my hand, but whooo boy that brush still had so much excess in it that it took me probably 5 minutes on that one alone.

Oh no, I lied. The hardest one, which I probably have to rewash AGAIN as soon as it's dry and I see the result of THIS washing has to be my angled eyebrow brush, which had eyelash adhesive and whatnot left on it after I used it for my Mystique make-up...

As soon as they're dry, I'll be posting photos of them!
But till then stay human and blog ya later~

Phew.

I am not going to lie. My life has been a stressful mess lately and I've nearly given up a few times, but here I am!

In the past month and a bit more that I haven't updated, there's been two dance competitions that us Saints (to whom I'm the treasurer fot) participated, so organising costumes, buses etc. for those took some time, I found out that someone I know has leukaemia and of course my lectures started again so they take their time, on top of all the dance rehearsals, which I have Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays... Last two weeks I also spent campaigning in our Students' Union's elections, and I got quite sick and am still trying to get better. I've barely slept (until last night), and I've been eating SO badly it's ridiculous.

Of course now I'll be concentrating on my dissertation and coursework more than usual, so I can't promise any exciting, regular updates.
What I AM doing, is planning a new background etc for the blog so that's exciting I guess :'D

Anyway, I'll need to go and pretend to do some actual work now so I wish all you readers, who've stuck with me through all these breaks, the best!
Stay human and blog ya later~

Sad Sutina is sad.

Also, Saints' theme for a certain charity night-out was "Japanese" so that is what happened.
