My Halloween Haunted House Adventure

Yes, you have read correctly. There was a decent Haunted House Event in Melbourne this year! When I first heard about this a couple months ago I didn't think it would be so huge. If you read my blog you'll also know how unprepared I was in the upcoming weeks before Halloween. I had just relegated myself to wearing some cheap kitty mask and doing my hair maybe in two buns (for ears), but my S.O. offered to pick up a costume for me next to his work. 

Here are a few pics throughout the night.

End of the night, blood on my arms, back and hair. Tipsy and exhausted.

 If you buy this costume, make sure you have a lighter coloured dress or slip
go underneath. It is VERY sheer, and in this case I just happened to have
an old creme coloured forever new 40's Sweet Heart Dress.  

Moving on, the evening came. It was hot, dry, and windy. My hair fell flat, so I gave up after the second attempt to keep reapplying curls. After that, I started vlogging. Here is the result....


Note: May need to turn your volume down for this :)

REVIEW: L'Oréal Glam Lights #3 Light Brown to Dark Blonde w/ B&A

This was actually pretty exciting for me to try out. Going 'Bronde'
has become a trend in late 2015, and the ad campaigns are quite
charming.

My colour had been looking quite flat lately, and my roots obviously grown out. I wasn't sure which direction to go with my hair until I saw this trend, which doesn't aim to be perfect. I picked the Light Brown to Dark Blonde which was still a bit light compared to my natural colour. 


So application can take Forever! 
I highly recommend you don't leave globs of this creme in, yet don't rub a huge amount of it in one spot either. Take your index finger and thumb; pinch a good amount between your fingers. Spread your hair out and comb lightly down from root to tip 1-2 times with the brush provided. I did this a bit too slowly throughout the layers of my hair and did not clip it up so the dye would not clump leaving a big bleach spot. 





I put a bit too much on the hair framing my face first, which is not a good 
idea unless you want it to be brighter then the rest of your hair! This 
developer formula is quite strong, so keep a close eye on the time. 


Even for thick hair like mine, I usually double the time but this was 
developed a bit more than I would have liked. After rinsing my hair 
I used a generic blonde toner to get the copper colour out of my hair. 
I had to reapply it after, because it didn't develop enough the first time
 (cheap).So after washing, toning, conditioning my hair 2 times. I used 
my Babyliss ionic blow dryer to dry my hair enough to see the results.

There were a few spots where it developed faster than others, and I actually
don't mind them. My hubby loves my hair, and I am enjoying the change. It took me probably 1 1/2 hours to do this. I have really thick hair and there was more than enough to blend through my hair (maybe a bit too much!).
