First Ombre Hair Attempt!

So Ombre Hair has been a big thing for a few years now...and I'm just getting to the party! I recently became obessessed with Glee and was LOVING Lea Michelle's Ombre! I just had to have it! My sister in law is does hair so I figured, why not?

I just love her hair!!! It's amazing! I just didn't want the bangs. I love how it's not brown to blonde...it's more subtle and golden.


 I told my sister in law, "If my hair comes out like this, we're going to rumble!":
(If this looks like your hair and you love it---you rock it girl! But it's just too extreme for me.)

Here's what she used:

L'Oreal Excellence HiColor in H16 Honey Blonde.

Salon Care 30 Crème Developer


I put a few Keek's up during the process if you would like to see:


By the time she blow dried and styled my hair it was too late to film because there was no light! But here's some photos that I took throughout the process!


What my hair looked like before any color! This is the natural texture of my hair if I don't flatiron it.

Ana mixing up the magic!

 All the foils in!
It was really hot so she pinned it all on the top of my head! This picture was from when I first saw myself!
I decided to rock it!
Spent some time with the hubby while it processed!
And viola! A blow out and flatiron curls later.....

Before/After


 And my favorite, next day curls!

Without the flash/daylight, it looks more subtle. I really love how it turned out! What do you think?

Influenster Something Blue VoxBox

 
I just love getting these Influenster VoxBox's! It's a great way to try out new products free before you buy! It's free to join, go check it out here!
 
 
The VoxBox's usually look like this when you open them! A card on top tells you about everything that you will find inside. I usually don't bother to look at this because I'm too excited to get to the good stuff! So I dove right in and here's what was inside:
 
Woah! So much stuff!
 
Sweet! Dr. Scholls! I've tried these before and they are awesome with your heels ladies!
 
Never heard of this but looking forward to trying Luster toothpaste! I hope it tastes good!

I heart Kiss and am looking forward to trying these lashes! They came with lash glue and applicators in each package! Yay!
 
 
This seems convenient. I haven't had to use this yet.
 
And I thought this was really cool! I will probably do a separate blog post about this one.
 
Let me know what you think looks good from this VoxBox! What products have you already tried?
