Yesterday I finally went back to Cutting Room Creative in Leeds and got my roots done. I'd not been since February so they were looking pretty horrendous. This time I asked them to tone it really silvery and I'm really happy with how its turned out. The horrible yellow banding I had from getting my roots done last time has completely gone with this application of toner too. Its quite nice having my hair all one colour for a change haha! For anyone trying to get a silver look they used a L'Oreal Luocolor P01 toner, which you can buy at Sallys.
Considering Leeds has loads of nice shops that we don't have here I figured I would indulge in some retail therapy after my appointment. I popped into Space.NK and got a Nars illuminator in Copacabana & blush in Deep Throat. Seriously in love with both of these bad boys. I've bought a million different highlighters, (some as recently as last week!) but once I swatched this one on my hand I knew it was a bit special. It really is dazzling on the skin. I used it under my foundation as well as over and my skin looks positively gleaming. I found it hard to choose between all the blushers. I was so tempted to go for Orgasm or Super Orgasm but I chose Deep Throat because it has more of a silvery sheen to it rather than the gold sheen of the Orgasm family. Its a lot pinker too rather than peachy so I felt it would suit my skintone better. 'Tis a beaut!
I also went into House Of Fraser to get a Bobbi Brown creamy concealer kit. This product is an old favourite of mine and I much prefer it to MAC's Studio Finish concealer. I find that it completely hides my dark circles & blends into the rest of my makeup a lot easier. They recently repackaged & reformulated it & my old one had run out quite a while ago. I'm so glad that they changed the loose powder to pressed as it was always really messy & most of the powder ended up down my top. The change in packaging is definitely an upgrade too as both the concealer & powder are on the same part & you get a nice mirror too. This product is a complete essential for me.
Your hair looks gorgeous! And oh Nars blushers and illuminators are so lovely. x
ReplyDeletelove the haiirrr! you should try spraying some batiste blonde spray on your hair in between getting your roots done. Also, I have some of the swazrkopf (or whatever) purple/silver shampoo if you want it? I've used like a third but its usually quite expensive & obz i don't need it!
ReplyDeleteLove everything you've bought, definitely need another NARS blushers. I bought super orgasm illuminator, but would LOVE to try copacabana! it looks gorgeous. amazing post, as always. xo.

ReplyDeletethe nars highlighter is the best thing i've ever seen. deep throat looks like it could be something special. looks like a wee trip to space n.k could be in order for this little one xo
ReplyDeleteyour hair is lovelyyyyyyy ;] really suits you that shade xx
ReplyDeleteAwww you look fabulous, love your hair! :)
ReplyDeleteI have Nars Deep Throat Blush as well, and Oasis is another blush I use on a regular basis.
Orgasm was a bit too glittery and orange on me so moved on to other colors.

I love what you did with your hair. It looks beautiful and really provides a nice contrast with the glow/flush of your natural skin.
ReplyDeleteI want to try NARS Deep Throat, too, but am way too cheap to splurge on it.
Loving the hair, you look fabulous! xx :o)
ReplyDeleteHeeeey gorgeous! You hair is stunning, and your skin always looks flawless missus. I am yet to try anything from Nars but every time I see some I just want it more and more. What you got looks wonderful xx
ReplyDeleteI love your hair, I want mine a similar colour!
ReplyDeleteLove your hair, I'm jealous! And that blush looks gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteI love your silver hair! Very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted by the Bobbi Brown concealer now, the loose powder packaging put me off a little before x
your hair looks amazing! Aaah I love NARS so much xx
ReplyDeleteI left this nice comment here the other day and blogger deleted it. POO!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks really nice and the silver wash compliments the color in your skin and face. I want to try the Deep Throat blush! I like NARS products, but I find that their packaging really tends to pick up dirt and makeup debris over time. Does that happen to you?
Love the silver hair, looks fab!!

Your make up is always so flawless, I love your eyebrows - Every time!
ReplyDeleteI've never even looked twice at that Nars blusher, heard about it a few times (not exactly a name you can forget) but I'm intrigued with the 'silver sheen' I'm REALLY pale so it might actually suit me better than orgasm? I need to stick around for longer at makeup counters!
Also, that bobbi brown stuff, and the corrector in your newest post - I'm so tempted! Heard so much good stuff about their eye bag correcting tools ;)
Ah you, you have such a skill of making me want everything I cant afford :( x
