Review: Nice 'n Easy 106 Natural Medium Ash Blonde

 

Today we go Ash Blonde with Nice 'n Easy

Nice n' Easy 106 Natural Medium ash Blonde
 I have had pale platinum blonde hair recently and silver hair recently. I decided that I love them both so much that I would choose something in the middle of blonde and silver. In my opinion, ash blonde has similar tones to silver so that it what I went with. 

Platinum Blonde (After I recently bleached my roots)
 
Silver hair (recently BEFORE I did my roots)

So what were the results of using Nice 'n Easy 106 Natural Medium Ash Blonde?

The Verdict

Were the instructions easy to understand for the mixing?

I found them very easy to understand. 5/5

Was the application straight-forward?

The application went quite well. The thin nip on the top of the application bottle makes it very easy to get in there with the roots. However, points are down because I had QUITE A LOT OF ITCHINESS on my scalp before it was time to rinse the product out. I did get a little worried during application because it looked turned a pale brown BEFORE rinsing, but maybe that was to be expected? Because of the itchiness, I will have to give this only a 1/5

Did the included conditioner work very well?

It did not seem to have any scent to it (nice or bad). I like that you get enough for one application every six weeks. However, I did not think the conditioner was that useful because I found it a bit hard to distribute just a small amount on my hair.  I found the conditioner almost kind-of dry. 2/5

Do I like the end result?

Hell yeah! Really, really DOES look like the color on the box! It was recommended for medium blonde to medium brown hair and I was surprised that it worked so well on my VERY PALE (dyed) PLATINUM BLONDE hair. It looks fantastic! 5/5

Overall Rating

5+1+2+5 = 13

Divide that by 4 

 3.25

To the nearest whole number, I would rate this 3/5

Would I use this again? Yes, I certainly would!

However... next time I WILL do an allergy reaction test first to be on the safe-side! I would really like to know whether the itchiness was a one-off thing or whether my skin might have a health problem with this product or one of it's ingredients.

 

But seriously! EVERYONE should do an allergy test before the application of ANY hair dye products.

My First (Full-Faced) Attempt at Makeup Since I Were in Year 9 at School (2008)

LIPSTICK: Boots natural collection moisture shine Berry Sorbet, TINTED MOISTURIZER: Nivea tinted moisurising cream for all skin types, EYESHADOW: Boots natural collection duo eyeshadow Blackcurrant/Violet, MASCARA: Boots natural collection LashCurl Mascara Black, EYELINER: Miss Sporty kohl kajal eye pencil Black 

I have not worn a full face of make-up since 5 years ago

I do sometimes put on just a bit of eyeliner for a special occasion or if I just want to feel a bit more feminine, but I have not really bothered with makeup that much since secondary school.

I used to suffer from terrible acne that I would cover-up with a thick layer of foundation in a failing attempt to hide it. I often got teased for how ridiculous I looked. The 'popular' girls got away with wearing just as much make-up and seemed to get away with it without being teased. I guess that other students assumed that I wanted to be just like the 'golden girls' This WAS NOT the case!

Let us see is I can try and do make-up right this time...

Wish me luck!

Bare-faced
This is the usual me with no make-up at all.

Wearing the 'Boots Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick in the shade Berry Sorbet'
I decided to show how the look of my face transforms with each addiction of cosmetic.

Wearing the same lipstick and now wearing the 'Nivea Tinted Moisturising Day Cream for all skin types'
I'm not entirely sure of whether my skin looks any different.

Now with added 'Boots Natural Collection Duo Eyeshadow in the shade(s) Blackcurrant/Violet
I look so weird!

Now with the eyeliner 'Miss Sporty Kohl kajal eye pencil in the shade Black'
Maybe I look ok?

I added 'Boots natural Collection LashCurl Mascara in shade Black'
The look is complete!

I'm pretty proud of how this turned out! :D

Spongebob Collection

Most of us like to collect things. For me, its strange hats and spongebob stuff. My dad collects badges and unusual coins. My brother collects my little pony toys, and my mum collects...well...hoards newspapers.

So what Spongebob stuff do I have?

Admittedly, I do not have the biggest collection ever but I would definitely still count myself as a collector! Let me show you what I have:

Left to right; Spongebob keyring, Spongebob hand-puppet, Spongebob mini plushie

Cardboard Spongebob (boat not included)
Miniature Spongebob Umbrella (free gift in Spongebob magazine)
My favourite Spongebob poster (I have about 4)

Large Size Spongebob and Patrick plushies

Cupid and Applejack Having a Tea Party

Hey there sugarcube...

My best friend Chris' nickname is Applejack. He often invites me and our other friends to tea parties and thus often runs out of teabags. Mum recently bought him a box of 'Twinings Everyday Tea' which has 160 teabags. Personally, I think it will only last him 2 months.


Sometimes...A good friend and a cup of tea can solve anything

 

My Inspiration and Media I Used

 

Tea parties with my best friend inspired me to do this drawing (above) of Applejack (representing Chris) and Cupid Bowsaw (representing myself). 

I used (mostly) watercolor pencils because I very much like their bright vibrancy of color. I use them in the same method as using regular colored pencils. 

 

Is Cupid blowing a purple bubble?

 

No. He is a unicorn whose magic dust looks like a purple aura. His unicorn horn is helpful for picking up items such teacups. Goodness knows how Applejack must manage to balance a teacup on her hoof.
