RAW Exposure Show



Hey everyone!!  It's been a long time and sorry for my absence on here.  Just wanted to show some work I did at my first showcase last week. 

 



 

My inspiration for the makeup came from our traditional Hmong clothing.  I wanted to do something that incorporated my culture into the look since this was my first show.  And what a show it was!!  I'm glad I got encouragement from my husband and friend to do the show and to put my best foot forward.  Here's to many more exciting adventures in the near future!

Vidal Sassoon London Lilac

Hey ladies.  Tonight I wanted to share my hair dying experience using the Vidal Sassoon Vibrant Color dye in London Lilac (a product I've been looking for for months!)

Before:

Here's my faded out Garnier 53 Medium Golden Brown color

 After:

Vidal Sassoon London Lilac

You can see the purple shades in the 2 pictures below, which were taken the day after I dyed my hair.

The downfall with this dye is that if you don't have super light hair, the "lilac" shade doesn't show unless you're in sunlight. 

The picture below is from last Saturday and my hair looks more red now since the purple washed out.

It definitely was weird seeing myself with dark hair again but the hubby liked it, so that's a plus.  Now I'm pretty much used to the dark hair and it's only been about 2 wks.  LOL  But I will most likely dye it again with some dyes from Sally's Beauty Supply in the next couple months.

Until then, this will be the hair color I sport.  haha

Have a good night!

Hopefully I will have more motivation to do more colorful looks on my weekends but you know how it is...wear makeup all week to work that on the weekends, if I don't have to wear makeup, I won't wear it.  It's nice to give my skin a break from makeup.  haha

Anyways, hope everyone has a good night!
