I really wanna try this



My obsession with haircolor began when L'Oreal's Color Pulses came out. I was probably twelve or thirteen when I dyed my hair with that mousse (precocious, I know) and if I remember correctly it was a purple-y shade.  
You see, my ADD is pretty general, meaning it affects other brain functions such as the "can't-have-the-same-look-for-more-than-a-month-or-else-I'll-kill-myself" function.
I have SO many hair stories; good ones and bad ones. But mostly bad ones. I've had my hair jet-black, red, purple, orange (lolz), and blonde. I've also had completely fried hair, the kind you mistake for the hay horses eat. Pretty traumatizing stuff! My best-friend and I were always picked on because of our unhealthy hair habits. I remember a boy trying to tease us saying "why don't you go dye your hair again". And then my friend called him a Sasquatch. 
The only hairstyle/haircolor I've been able to stick with is the one I currently have which is ombré hair! It goes from medium-light brown (my natural shade) to golden blonde. I've had this for almost a year and let me just tell you, it is a RECORD for me because in case you haven't noticed, I have a hard time making up my mind, which renews itself every three seconds. Kind of like my appetite. 
I'm happy to say that my hair has gotten completely back to normal; I don't blow dry it, straighten it, or curl it anymore and it makes SUCH a big difference in the quality of your hair. Seriously. No more heat for me!

LET'S GET TO THE POINT: 
I'm having a hair-ADD relapse and I'm lovin' it. I was looking at a spread Abbey Lee (model in first and last pic) did for Vogue Australia, drooling a little bit and thinking I would never do anything permanent like that. But then (and this is the juicy part) this little magic ball popped out of nowhere. This little magic ball would be Kevin Murphy's COLOR BUG which is an 'eye-shadow' for hair, meaning you can put it on your hair and wash it out JUST LIKE MAKEUP! Isn't that the most genius thing ever? 
The best part is that señor Color Bug was what was used for the Abbey Lee shoot. 
Uh-mazing. 
I'm still trying to find a store that sells it or that delivers it (this is an Australian product) and when I do get my hands on this baby, oooooh boy. It's going to be a very pink world.



Ps: make sure you check out my new (and old) sponsors! They're just FABULOUS!

I've dyed my hair many different colours in my time. Whenever I used to feel bored, I would dye my hair.

Pink sounds like a cool colour, I can't wait to see what it looks like!

I've got a hair post of mine in the works about my hair stories but I'm 100% with you on what I do with my hair now. NO HEAT! And I'm totally loving the natural look. Seriously, I had no idea how beautiful my hair really is. I never gave it a chance. And I'm SUPER stoked about this "eyeshadow." I have blonde hair so I'm always worried about using even temporary dyes because some can stain my hair for awhile. Like I said, I'm so in love with this look and have been sad at not being able to work it because of my job. Great post!

Xoxo

A bem dos seus cabelos, só espero que o tal produto australiano, não se vende cá. Cor-de-rosa? Você quer matar-me? Não basta a outra maluca?
Deixe os seus cabelos viverem!

That's such a great product! I wouldn't have the courage to dye my hair too bright though!

I live in Melbourne, so if you can't find a place that sells it online, I'm quite happy to help you acquire one :)

You can email me at francescabattan@gmail.com

As I was reading your post I was reflecting on the Color Bug that I had seen on Pinterst - it was a nice surprise to see it in this post!! I want to give it a try too!!!

Shay said...

I don't know of very many girls who could pull of this look. But you, my friend, can pull of ANY look so I am excited to see it:-)

felicia said...

Hi!! I loved this post cuz I was exactly like this almost 2 years ago. i was obsessed with dyeing my hair in hot pink, I waited till summer vacations and asked my friends to help me. ever since I've had as much colors as I could, pink, purple, blue, green, etc and i regret nothing, well, I did like 2 months ago I decided it was time for me to "grow up" (i'm 20 as well) and dyed it like my natural hair color, I felt so plain and common that after a week my oh so colorful hair came back :] give it a try, you wont regret it
