Bioderma

I've been happily plodding along with my Garnier Micellar Water for the last four months or so now and I'm rather a fan of the 'If it ain't broke' mantra. Then Escentual had it's 1/3 off French pharmacy event again and I saw a 100ml bottle of the Bioderma Micellar Water for £3. I've thought about trying it for a while, so this was my opportune moment.

I bought the 100ml because I'm backpacking around Europe in 3 weeks, starting with a flight to Amsterdam. I'm taking no hold luggage so everything has to go with me in my bag; hence backpacking... But that means no liquids over 100ml.

Adorable or what?

I figured 100ml was more than enough for a months usage, but we'll see! The route ends up in France anyway so I could always stock up there...

And of course I had to give it a little try. It's certainly better than the Garnier water in that you need less of it to have the same results. It feels slightly oilier but in a good way, in that it's smoother to apply and the cotton wool doesn't tug and your skin as much when your moving it around.

So... Purple.

I've been wanting to dye my hair for a while, but I've never had the manhood for it. But after a couple of weeks of pestering from my housemates...
"Uni is the time to get to do things like this!"
"Come on, take a little risk for a change!"
"You can't got through your whole life with only one hair colour!"
...I've bitten the bullet and bought some dye.

Semi-Permanent obviously; I'm not THAT brave.

It wasn't that hard to do really. The only tough part was not dyeing my face or ears, and I did have a bit of a falling-out with the shower head. I dropped it whilst it was still turned on and then I couldn't catch it while it was flailing about. But at least the bathroom walls got a good wash. 

So anyway...

When I first dried it I freaked out a little bit... "Oh my God, it's BLACK!!" but the girls have told me that it should fade in a couple of days and be more of the Plum colour that the box promised. We'll see...

I probably should have eased myself into this whole 'hair-dyeing' fiasco a bit more slowly. Perhaps gone for a chocolate brown, instead of straight in there with purple. Still, it could be a lot worse...

And at least it matches my Mac - Film Noir lipstick!
