My Hair Journey

I don't know about you but I have changed my hair color and length a whole lot since I was 16.  I have had the longest hair to the shortest hair and the darkest brown to light blonde.  When I get bored I change my hair.  It is much cheaper and easier then getting a tattoo! 

LENGTH  

2007 - Age 16

2008 - Age 17 

2009 - Age 18 

2010 - Age 19 

2011 - Age 20 

2012 - Age 21 

2013 - Age 22

I have to say I love cutting my long hair short.  When I say short I mean shoulder length.  I hated that 2010 hair cut.  It took me years to grow out!  3 to be exact!  I just cut it last week for the first time in over a year!  It feels so good and refreshing to get a hair cut.  What about you?  What has been your favorite hair length?

I would say I love to color my hair and try different shades!  Now I would never color my hair a color of the rainbow but I would say that I am adventurous.  What about you?  What is the craziest color you have ever dyed your hair?  

Also I have always dyed my hair at home.  I am totally not into paying crazy salon prices.  I just use the Garnier or Natural Instincts from the drugstore.  But, when I went blonde Daria's sister did it for me.  She is training to be a colorist so I said "dye my hair please!"

I have to say for the number of times I have dyed my hair, it is actually very healthy.  That is because I take care of it.  That is the key!  I use a mask once a week and I use sulfur free shampoo (another post to come). 

Let me know what your favorite length & color is on me !

La Creme

I have totally been into cream blushes lately.  In the past I never gave them a second look, but Dior and  Chanel came out with new cream blushes so I had to give them a try.  I must say I like!  They wear really well throughout the day and give great pigmentation.  I am actually considering buying them in other shades.

I have been using a Walmart angled blush brush to apply them.  It is always a good idea to use a synthetic brush to apply cream products.  It deposits color better and much easier to clean.
The Dior blush reminds me of a better version of the Maybelline bouncy blushes.  And the Chanel reminds me of the NYX cream blushes.  But I truly love the Dior and Chanel more.  They have just the right pigmentation and last through the day.

What are your favorite cream blushes and how do you apply them?


In other news I cut my hair last week and I am loooooving it!  I feel like it makes me look more sophisticated and mature.  And it is a great length for summer time.  I will be sharing my hair journey soon.  I have gone from blonde to dark brown back to blonde and long hair to short hair to even shorter hair.
