Here I am with the promised review!

So this morning, I dyed my hair with Fresh light Mirror ash.






This is the package. On the back you've got a color chart of what to expect according to your current hair color.

I bought this one at my local drug store and it was dirty cheap! Not even 400 Yen, so about 4 Euro, which is, hands down, nothing. I already read, that this dye won't stay very long and gradually fade, whenever you wash your hair and that's why I won't expect it to last for a long time nor do I want it to. I will keep you updated about this point, since everyones hair is different as is the result.

I put the ingredients together as written down, shook it, put it in my hair and waited for about 15 minutes.

I already saw my hair changing when I wasn't even finished dying all the parts.  I should tell you my hair was blond with some very white-ish parts and some darker parts, what also influenced the end result.




This photo shows my hair before, with the dye in it and after washing and blow-drying.

The nearly white parts turned extremely gray and in our artificial light in the bathroom even a little bit blue-ish.
The darker parts look more like the last color on the package's color chart, which would be an ash blond and not grey.
The ash blond and grey are kind of different, so if you look for an even color I wouldn't recommend it if your base color isn't even. If you're not too much bothered about it, just use it. Personally, I'm not bothered too much but have yet to see the color in normal day and sun light.

My hair neither feels dry nor damaged, a big plus if you'd ask me.

All in all, thinking about the price it's a good deal if you can live with the downsides of not changing your hair color evenly if your base is not even and not lasting for a long time (probably). The result is a bit darker, than I thought it would be, but very nice nonetheless! If you look for a temporally change to grey, this is your dye!

Hello Ladies~　❤

I never post about the make up I use, since it's nothing special or fancy, but yesterday I treated myself to something I'd like to show you.
Since, as I said, my make up is nothing special I figured that at least the base should be good. I often see women with nice eye make up but their foundation is just horrifying. It's too much or it makes the unevenness even more visible, it doesn't mach their skin tone and so on.
I remembered, that when i used to work at Cecil a lot of my co-workers used Chanel as their base make up.



Yesterday I checked it out at a cosmetics store and after a staff kindly helped me to choose a product (cause there are several just for the foundation) and color I was surprised how well it works!

Let me introduce you Chanels Mat Lumière Extrême in beige rosé

I just came from work and my skin was not in its best condition but this powder foundation worked pure wonders! Just a bit is enough to cover uneven color and pores. I also like the mat effect it gives your face.

The package is your usual paper carton but you also get a little pouch to store the compact powder. Bother pouch and compact have the Chanel logo. If you run out of powder you can just buy a refill, which is cheaper than buying a whole new compact. To open it you just have to push a button, making it very easy to use and hopefully not as breakable as compacts with this kind of clip-closing (sorry, I've no idea how to call that). Because a mirror is included, too you may touch up your make up anytime.

It wasn't that expensive as you'd might expect from a brand like that. 6.500 Yen without tax, refill is 5000-ish. In my opinion it's a totally acceptable price for a product that has the quality the name promises.

Wow, that kind of ended up like a review! But I'm so positive about this foundation that I had to write about it.

Any way, today I'm off to Chiba to meet my husbands grandmother and tomorrow I have to work.
No weekend for me, but enjoy yours!
