Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Toning Shampoo Review - MAINTAINING YOUR BLONDE!

Blondes will know how frustrating it is when the 'brass' creeps back into your hair. 'Ain' nobody got time for that!'

Well, I now have a new hair care staple! Fudge's Violet Toning Shampoo is absolutely AMAZING! It'll strips out any brassy in that blonde hair of yours, leaving it looking fresh.

The instructions tell you to use this 'alternatively' with your favourite shampoo, leaving it on for 5 minutes at a time. However, I instead use it about once a week in my shower, and leave it in for about 5 minutes. Then, I choose to wash it out with a normal shampoo, because it can leave a slight purple-y hue in your hair. NO WORRIES! If you wash it properly it will come out. On one occasion I did not wash it out properly, a few hours later, although it took a few washes, it all came out... PHEW!

 Even though it seems reasonably expensive, you get so much more than your money's worth! I bought mine this february, and using a large amount of it once a week, it's only just now nearly finished!

This is a product I strongly recommend to MAINTAIN YOUR BLONDE!


again, apologies for the awful picture quality

FOTD : Halloween Makeup Cabaret/Burlesque Inspired

Due to lack of costumes at University, I decided to go as a murdered cabaret dancer for halloween.

I decided on a dramatic, theatrical makeup look, with a black, purple and glitter cut crease, vampy ombre effect red lip, dramatic contour, dark brow and later added some bruising.


The bruising seen below was created with a couple of shades of blue-toned red lipsticks and a khol eyeliner. I then set it with a translucent powder. With a gel liner, I created a black cat eye and drew on some bottom lashes for effect.

After finishing my hair and makeup and getting changed, I sprayed myself in a silver glitter spray.
