I want my hair back!

So as some of you may know, I have had 12 inches cut off in the last two months. Yes I like the length and yes it is easy to put up BUT its been cut so blunt! I think this is mainly because I have extremely thick hair but other peoples hair I've seen doesn't do this.
I'm missing having long hair and wearing it wavy and all pretty. My hair does grow fast so it should be long in a few months but I'm really impatient and want long hair now!
So until then, I'm going to have to wear it up everyday. I've tried straightening it and wearing it down but it just doesn't look good.
Lately I've been just gripping parts of my hair back and putting the rest in a low bun which looks quite nice.

Merry Christmas everyone for tomorrow :)

Republic Dress & Sleek Palette!

Republic simple black sequin dress £19.99. (^ Looks better on me :P). I tried this on earlier to show my parents and they love it. My dad hardly ever gives compliments and when he does, he normally says: 'Thats alright' but when he saw me in this he said: 'That's really nice!' so it must look good! I'm wearing this on new years eve to my friends party. The girls are dressing up as flappers (1920's prostitutes basically) and the guys as 1920's gangsters.

I finally got the Original Sleek Palette! £4.99
I love it! The colours are gorgeous!

Collection 2000 Glam Crystals


Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners


Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners

Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners

Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liners
I bought four Glam Crystals today as I love them so much! Two of them are re purchases because I gave them to my mum.
From top to bottom: Funk 3 (Gold), Spandex 12 (Green), Pow! 10 (Blue) & Shake it up! 11 (Dark blue/Purple. On the website they show it as a pure purple but it is defiantly not. I think they should bring a bright purple one out though ^^)

I also already own Le Freak which is an electric bright blue (Gorgeous!)

These are £2.93 each. Superdrug have a 3 for 2 sale on at the moment as most of you know.
Because I am a geek, I have worked out that if you buy 2 of these, and get a 3rd one free, it works out that you are paying around £1.95 per eyeliner! Pretty darn good if you ask me!

East Village

In a New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in East Village

Some of you may have seen a few posts down that I didn't like this polish as it was VERY sheer...

Good news is that I've found the number of coats you need to apply for it to become opaque.
Bad news is that you have to apply 4 coats. This might not seem a lot to some people, but all the nail polishes I have tried apply in 1 coat, 2 at the most, so I don't think I'll be wearing it that often.
I have a blue similar to this from Collection 2000 which is amazing. Miss Sporty also do a beautiful blue. Both of these apply like a dream.

Accessorize:
I bought four purses for my friends and they're all really cute! They were all £4.50. One of them is from the child's section and is in the shape of a strawberry!

Also, in Poundland they have these chocolate wafer straws and I was over the moon when I found them because I hadn't had them in ten years!

Ooooh and, some of you may know I am becoming obsessed with owls. Well I bought a teddy owl today and the money went towards an owl charity. I bought it at a stall and they had real owls there and I stroked them! They had a grey one, a gorgeous white one, a hugeeeee one with big orange eyes and the cutest littlest one I had ever seen!

I also found a Sleek stand in a Superdrug! :D When I go in next I am getting the Original palette. I tested the colours and they are suprisingly smooth and look gorgeous!

I have an Avon haul coming up too :)

And again, sorry for the lack of photos x

New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in 216B Central Park - This is a really pretty pink/peach/beige. This is very shimmery which I love.

£2.49
New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in 206B East Village - I don't like this so far, its VERY sheer and watery. Its a shame because the colour is gorgeous. Maybe I just got a bad bottle :/

What I'm Loving At The Moment...

Headbands and slightly tacky flower clips :)
When I get home from school, wind swept and wet, all I want to do is put my hair back so I've found myself grabbing for my headbands :)
Also, with all this wind and rain we've been getting, I've been wearing my hair up a lot and to add a little detail, I've been wearing little plastic flower clips to pin flyaway's back and to add detail to my messy bun. They actually look really nice :)

P.S I'm liking my hair colour more now as I have got used to it :)

Also, no ones posts are coming up on my home page :(
Hopefully, they will come back, but for now I can not have my daily read :(

Garnier Nutrisse

£4.86

I dyed my hair yesterday with Garnier Nutrisse in shade 4 dark brown.
Was easy to apply, like any other dye really :) Except you don't have to wet your hair before with this one.
The colour pay off is good, looks exactly like it does on the box and also my hair is super shiny :)

I'm not sure whether I like it though. Its nothing to do with the actual dye itself. I just don't like it this dark. I think I should of got the shade golden dark brown instead :/
People at school seem to like it and my parents also do but I prefer my dark auburn locks instead of this shade of brown. I would prefer a chocolate brown which has warm red tones in it.

This is permanent but hopefully it will fade slightly. Apparently 'Ginger' hair doesn't take dye's as well as other hair colours so this should help the colour become less intense.
I'll wait for this one to fade out and go back to my natural hair colour. Hopefully I won't get horrific roots - If I do then I'll have to dye it a chestnut brown (Close to my natural hair colour) and then wait for my hair colour to come through. This way when the roots begin to grow, you will not see them.
