Last Tuesday I went to Leeds to get my hair done at Cutting Room Creative. Gotta give them props for speed, I was only in there for three & a half hours whereas normally it takes about five. As well as getting my roots done & hair toned silver I decided to get a full fringe cut again. I was longing for the days when my hair looked like this. I'm still undecided on it. Sometimes I think it looks amazing & sometimes I look at myself and all I can think is 'pig in a wig' as coined by someone on twitter. Seems the perils of having a short fringe & a round face are widespread. I think it looks better since I've washed & blowdryed it myself as fresh cut fringes often look a bit Wurzel Gummidge in my opinion. Backcomb In A Bottle is saving my life right now because if it gets flat it looks a bit lego-ish & Lee Stafford's Bleach Blonde shampoo has made the colour look a bit pinker than when it was first done but I like it. I'm just willing my hair to get growing now!

On my way home I popped into Harvey Nicks & Boots to get a few goodies. I finally bought some Shu Uemura eyelash curlers (how cool is the packaging?!) & Dior Amber Diamond which have been on my wishlist since pretty much forever. Maybe its sad (actually it is) but I feel like my life is a tiny bit more complete now I have Amber Diamond in my collection. I think this is the highlighter I've long been searching for. It gives me the most beautiful glow which is just inbetween natural & disco ball. Me gusta. I bought Lancome's Doll Eyes mascara mainly because I was suckered in by the name. I'd heard that the brush took like 7 years to perfect so I figured it must be fairly good if its been in production for that long. It wasn't what I was expecting in that I thought it would instantly give me thick luscious falsie style lashes but I do really like it. Its very lengthening & separates the lashes wonderfully. I had to really layer it on to get the kind of look I personally like as it pretty much refuses to clump. The brush kinda glides through your lashes and I think the best thing about it is how it makes your lashes look really long. The best way to describe it is as a push up bra for your lashes. Overall though I think its great and if you need lots of length this would be a great mascara to buy. If you like lots of volume this product layers beautifully without giving you horrible spider lashes. It might work better in conjunction with a more volumising mascara but I'm yet to try that out. Doll Eyes doesn't quite live up to my expectations from its name but its brilliant all the same.
