HiColor has become a staple in many do-it-yourself hair dyes. Known to turn dark-haired to light hair or getting great pigmentation, It claims to lift dark hair 3-4 levels with no pre-lightening. HiColor is a great way to avoid bleaching your head. It's been reviewed several times among the YouTube community, so I thought for myself I would give it a try.
I decided to go with L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Red. Due to the fact that I'm currently a redhead with Manic Panic and Jamz.
I was looking for more permanent bright solutions for my red hair. They do offer other colors, such as blonde, magenta and so on. I was worried about dye my red with a dye made for dark hair, because my hair is bleached blondish. (I say the ish part because it has some red and pink left in from the Panic Manic.)
For the price wasn't very expensive. For L'Oreal Excellence HiColor I went to Sally's and got good price. HiColor is somewhere between $8-$10 price range. We all know how fast red haired can fade, so having it for a inexpensive price is a great benefit of the hair dye.
You do however have to purchase volume developer. Depending on how light you want to red or how bright depends on the level of developer you should use. Most people from what I noticed tend to use the 30 to give a bright red color. Being bleached before and semi dyed red/pink, I decided to go with the 20 developer. I didn't want to overly process my already processed hair.
This hair dye was simply to use. Really easy to apply. I would recommend it to a friend it has great pigmentation. It is great way to avoid having to use panic manic and getting a permanent result. It's a lot healthier then normal box and can achieve a brighter look.
A week later and I still love the color, there is a certain way it highlight in the light that I just love it's hard to describe, but light reflexes off of the hair in a pinkish manner. The pink tint might have a lot to do with previous color of my hair. It's just so vibrant I can't get over it.
I still refresh my hair with a semi dye, hey got to use up that Manic Panic and Jamz right? Anyways, I mixed a little of the semi dye with my hair oils. It works great and give it a unique look.
As of now this is my favorite red hair dye. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your time,

Review: Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation
Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation is a great drug store buy. For only 8-9 USD it's not a bad medium to full foundation. This foundation offers a matte finish and even toned coverage due to high color pigmentation. It's not for those with dry skin , it can make the makeup loo flaky and cakey. Unless a moisturizer is use underneath.
Applying is foundation can be challenge for those who are use to using foundation brushes. I prefer the beauty blender, it allows for even coverage and works great with any mousse foundation. If you don't have a beauty blender try the good old finger tips.
There are a couple downside to this foundation if you don't use the proper primer you are going to have a hard time getting it to stay on. It isn't transfer resistant, it will get on clothes, pillow cases and spread.
It can also be heavy on the skin, to avoid this remember a little goes a long way, and blend, blend, blend!

Diet Bet Website
Spring is before us and in honor of trying to get healthy, we are break out all the diet and fitness secrets you need to know! Starting with how to make little side cash for rewards for losing weight. This secret has been feature on so many shows. The name the secret is dietbet.com. It's a great way to in courage people to lose weight and earn cash as a extra incentive!
The idea is to join a game, pay the bet and the pot get split between the winners! It's a healthy incentive to losing weight this will pay you to lose weight. (not price per pound unfortunately.) The winner whoever reaches their 10% of their gold and keeps up every week was as wait and gains money.
How do they know it is real? they have words that you will have to put anyone have to posted in a certain time-frame so this does require a camera and they have ways of making sure that it is authentic weight-loss, no Photoshop here!
There are also a lot of celebrities starting games. I believe one of the fitness ladies from biggest loser has competition going on. Also, they give advice it's a great support community for losing weight I highly recommend it!
The cash price can range as I said before the past has good split up between winners and they have some pretty high up there cash prizes there was one going on, for $45,000 ladies and gentlemen split between 10 people that might not be so bad. Highly unlikely though, because the way the game works is that the more people that join the more money that gets put into the pot, which is then split between the winners. So, the higher the cash prize the more people likely to win. And the highest money earned as around $400, at less that I have seen.
It's been seen on such sites as Dr. Oz to he Talk and then you and all them recommend this. The great thing about this site is that it's an incentive ladies and gentlemen, an incentive to lose weight. With a incentives you know you might treat yourself and join another bed and lose more weight this is a great way to lose weight I recommended go out there join a game. $25 that and you're in and you're losing weight and just give it a try!
That's the love in your weight-loss my little Keewee and stay healthy sexy and you for spring! be beautiful be selfish be you!

Review: e.l.f. Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection
This is a review on e.l.f. Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection. Yes,it's time to move up from your fingertips and this is a start place to start. This brush are a steal for only 30 USD dollars. It's a 11 piece brush set, that is great for starting out.
The set comes with Sleek, Water-Resistant Case, Eyeshadow "C" Brush, Complexion Brush, Small Angled Brush, Small Smudge Brush, Fan Brush, Powder Brush, Angled Foundation Brush,Concealer Brush, Small Precision Brush, Blush Brush, and Contouring Brush.
This is great starting set, but you have to care for these brushes. If you don't it will show, they will start to shed. I wash my brushes every week, I lay them in an area where they can lay flat while drying. Also, you don't want to leave them submerged in water, it will break down the glue in the brush. These are brushes that may need replace after a year, however if you take care of them they can really last.
The reason, I think that these brushes are so great for someone starting to learn makeup is you get assortment of brush, so you can learn what brush work best for what. You get a understanding of why it's so important to take care of your brushes. You can learn how to use makeup brush and not worry about the cost of the brush.

Review: Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation
Kat Von D did a great job on her Lock-it Tattoo Foundation! For all of you that don't know Kat Von D is a tattoo artist/TV show personally.
It's great for covering acne, under eye circles, and other imperfections. It's a thick foundation, that more than likely won't work well for dry skin types, unless you use a good, but works great for oily or combination skin. It comes in about 18 different shades, with different undertones. The cost is around 30-60 USD.
This is a very full coverage foundation! This covers scar, dark marks and hyper pigmentation. A little goes a long way, because it's so thick. If you do not need full coverage step out on this foundation, you won't like it. If you do want full coverage with this foundation you are going to want to highlight and contour to bring back dimension to your face. If you don't highlight and contour your face is going to look very flat.
It's said to last 24 hours. However, I really don't think it last that long without a primer. Don't get me wrong it last a really long time, but without out prime... it lasted about six to eight hours before noticing any changes. With this foundation it really depends on how oily your skin is the more oily the likely it will wear off during the day.
The foundation claims to stay on your skin and not transfer. I think that this great for not transferring makeup to clothes or fabric. It's very transfer resistant. It can lost for a very long time, however if you have oily skin there might be a slightly transfer.
Overall I would give this foundation an 8.5, it is truly a great makeup if you are looking for full coverage!

Review: on Jamz Semi Hair Dye
These bold, fun colors aren't fooling anyone. Jamz may be known for their lovely shades... But not for their staying power. I brought two of these lovely dyes for my new red to pink look. And they just wouldn't stay. I tried all the tricks like flat ironing the color in and leaving it in overnight, but this drop dead color just didn't want to stay on this bleach blonde head.
This wasn't much of a surprise! Jamz isn't known for their staying power, but are they a complete waste of money? When the beautiful color just washes away? So, what is a girl to do? I decided not to wash out the color, leaving it in and flat ironing it into a style!! I am not sure if this will have any damage to the hair, but I adore the color... So, I am not going back anytime soon! Also, it has a great fruity sugary smell, which help with leaving it in.
Overall, I would say great temp dye! The best use is most likely using it as a quick color refresh. However, not a good semi permanent due to the fact it washes away so quickly. 4 1/2 out of 10!
