My Bootea Experience.

Well, hello.

I've been meaning to update for a while after my Bootea post but things have been a bit hectic.

Anyways, as for the Bootea, I was going to do a full review, but I can't really do that because I didn't complete it.

Not through lack of willpower however, I ended up passing it on to my friend.

Just thought I would share with you my experience anyway.

I loved the day time tea, that was tasty! I was dreading it, but it was actually really pleasant!

 I think I only got about 4/5 days in because the night time tea left me in agony...No, not in the way you're thinking, my stomach is pretty sensitive so it just didn't sit right with me.

The night time tea was a little harder for me to drink because it has a peppermint flavour and I cannot stand peppermint tea, but it wasn't too bad! I drank the tea around 10pm and woke up in the middle of the night with really bad cramps and I felt sick, this carried on throughout the night and the next day which I didn't like, obviously. But it didn't do it's actual job which I thought was what the cramping was going to lead to, I had been warned about the night time tea!! -I'm trying not to spell it out here, but you know what I mean! I was a little confused and thought maybe it wasn't the tea and maybe something I had eaten ( I'm gluten intolerant so I thought maybe I had eaten something by mistake. - Bootea is gluten free, I asked them before I bought it!) so I tried the tea again on the 3rd night....same thing. So I decided to stop because I couldn't go through that for 7 nights and the days following.

Seriously gutted because I'm sure it would have worked, I noticed my bloating went down a bit by day 2 so I was pretty impressed with that!

I guess it just wasn't for me! I could have just carried on with the day time tea but at the time I was that wary of the night time one I just didn't want it. I might try just the day time one some time in the future though!

So, yes, there are my thoughts on Bootea. If you can stomach it, which most people can, I say go for it!

Washed Up Mermaid. Bleach London Review.

So, 'Washed Up Mermaid' was one of the Bleach London Colours I got for my birthday and I was dying to use it after looking it up!

I saw a girl once at download and she had turquoise hair, it was the prettiest hair I had ever seen and ever since I have been wanting it but been too scared to do it! 

So, when the Bleach London temporary colours were released and they said they were supposed to last 2-10 washes I couldn't have been more excited! 

Now, it's taken me a lot of effort and time to get my hair blonde and in the condition that it's in, so after reading mainly negative reviews on this colour about staining and leaving a green/blue cast on your hair that is near impossible to get rid of, I bottled it a bit I'm not gonna lie, I really did. But my sister was like 'Oh just do it'...so I just did it.

It's weird, I haven't had crazy coloured hair in a long time and this is definitely different for me and when I first did I, I hated it. 

I'll be completely honest in saying my expectations were high, but I was disappointed. It's really pale and wishy washy, completely patchy and I'm a trained hairdresser so I'm pretty aware of how to apply colour correctly. Some of my hair is still blonde, some is blue, some is green :/ (excuse the lack of make up, I was more concerned with my head!)

I noticed it seemed to just slide off my hair as I was applying it and not really taking, but I soldiered on anyway. It said to leave it on for 15 minutes but because I thought it wasn't going to take I left it on for half an hour, I think I should have left it on a lot longer. It didn't damage my hair in any way, smelled pretty pleasant and was quite conditioning. It was really easy to use and you get a fair amount of product and I think it is definitely worth £5 and it's great for a short term/weekend/school holiday change!

 I think I will try other colours (I already have Rose and Blullini waiting to be cracked open!) because I've heard good things and I think that although I was disappointed in this particular one, and I'm not the only one, that maybe it's just this colour and it all depends on your base colour and hair condition at the end of the day so I'm not totally discouraged.

Weird thing is though, I hated it in daylight but at night it looks boss! Really Mermaid-y!

I had to put my flower crown on (obvz) because I think the colour looks so pretty with the colour of the roses!

I'll do an update with the 'Washing Out Liquid' when I try to remove this and le you know how it goes!! 

How do you like the Bleach London Colours??
