Holy brunette!

I mentioned in my last blog post that I was debating on dying my hair dark and I checked my e-mail last night and saw a comment from FoxyAries that said something along the lines of 'if you want to dye your hair dark, go for it.  If you don't like it, you can change it back.'  And I thought, 'ya know what?  She's right.'  So I went to my bathroom and pulled out the leftover hair dye (L'oreal Healthy Look in the color 5 Medium Brown) that I had used to do lowlights with the other day.

I was planning on doing my whole head that color.  However, that does not work out so much when you only have half a box of dye and a lot of hair.  So I got the dye all through the top and realized I was totally not going to have enough to do my whole head.  Luckily for me, right now there is a huge trend of ombre hair, where the roots are really dark and then it fades to light.  So I did what I could to cover as much as I could then I tried to comb the color through my hair, hoping that would help it fade to the light color.  It's a demi permanent color so I figured if I hate it, it'll fade.  So here's what I look like now!

 It's different but I dig it.  I think it's a nice change of pace from my platinum blonde.  I think if it had worked out where I had enough color to do my whole head I wouldn't have liked it.  But I kinda like the fading.  It makes it look a little more realistic and not quite as harsh.

And now my makeup!  I saw a picture of MakeupbyRenRen from youtube's makeup the other day and I really liked it so this was inspired by her.  I used 3 eyeshadows for this (on top of a layer of NYX jumbo eye pencil in "black bean").  I used the MAC Sea & Sky mineralized duo, Ben Nye "Azalea" pigment, and Inglot 393p. 

I really like this look.  I like how it's colorful but not overly bright.  

Thanks so much for checking this out!!!  I appreciate you all so so much!
