It's spring time! I'm loving how the weather is getting a little warm and everything suddenly looks colorful! Cheers to the new season! And right now, I suddenly feel the need to paint my fingernails in pretty colors, as well! Anyways, I bumped into an article on what nail colors you could rock for spring... so I went into my rarely-touched collection to see if I've got any of it that will go with the Spring trends!

My hair is quite orangey now. The roots were getting out of control, so I dyed them a couple of days before our Puck'd shows. I used Da Vinci in Light Copper Blonde (as usual) but let it stay up to 6 hours this time. The results were bright orange roots, making my whole hair look ombre'. I decided to re-color the rest of my hair the night before the first Puck'd show to even it out. I'm pretty content with it at the moment. Last time my hair was this orange was when I used HBC's products back in 2007.

Hey Guys!
So this is a review on an eyeliner I picked up from my long vacation in the Philippines last year. Enjoy the review!
Hey Guys!
Let me share with you what I hauled recently and the last of my buys during my vacation in the Philippines just last summer!
It's been 5 months since I dyed my hair with HBC's Hortaleza Professional Hair Color in Light Copper Blonde in the Philippines. You can see how much hair has grown and how much I need to color in.
I know I said I have saved 1/2 a tube of hair color from my last session but I thought my hair color wasn't as orange as I wanted to be in its current state... so I then decided to color all my hair, as well!

| ION Color Brilliance Creme in Light Copper Blonde ($5) from Sally's Beauty Supply. |
I've used this even before I used the one from Hortaleza. I was 16 years old and got addicted to chopping my hair and dyeing it because of my Japanese friends in college. Then I moved to the Philippines to get my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and so I made the switch to Hortaleza due to its availability and the fact it is very affordable! The ION Color Brilliance Creme is actually not as expensive as the hair color boxes by L'oreal or Revlon. The hair developer that needs to be mixed with this cost me $3 for 946ml which will last many hair coloring sessions.
Two tubes of the ION Color Brilliance Creme and equal parts hair developer,
I spent one and a half hours coloring my roots then colored in the rest of my hair.
Here's the result!
If you follow me on twitter, I've said that I've left the dye on my hair for a total of four and a half hours! I know its bad for the hair, but its going to be the same damage if I bleach my hair and then leave on the hair color for a short time!
Yes, my ends are dry... I haven't cut them for 5 months because I am aiming for really long hair now the weather is tolerable. And I'm beginning to think I should have left the hair color on my roots longer than one and a half hours before coloring in the rest of my hair... Oh well, I still have half the tube from Hortaleza anyways and I could color it in later.

Thanks for the time!

Its been 3 years since I was forced to color my hair black because having any other color is not allowed in my course, Nursing. I hung out with Japanese people a lot prior to moving to the Philippines to study and became so interested in getting ORANGE hair.

I'm back! I just completed my graduation requirements and am now free to blog! I'm trying to cut down in spending on makeup but I couldn't pass the chance to try out new products from San-San. I love my thick black eyeliner and was dying to find a foundation powder dark enough for my tan.
