At Home Hair Color Success

I was so scared to dye my hair myself. I did a ton of research and read far too many horror stories online but I'm happy to report I started dying my hair myself about two years ago now and so far so good.

NO hair color mishaps

NO turning orange

I've been so pleased with the results my hair looks shiny, healthy, and matches the color on the box to a T

I was a platinum blonde when I was a little girl but as an adult my hair is dark blonde or gold if I do enough sun bathing. So now to get that look I must resort to chemicals.

So I'm not sure if you'll get great results if you try to go from black to blonde but I've gotten great results and nobody realizes I stopped going to the salon.

I've been using Loreal Preference in the Lightest Ash Blonde and before that I was very platinum using Loreal Feria in Starlet.

MAC Fluidline

Still searching for the perfect eyeliner? Well look no further. MAC Fluidline is the very best.

Just a dab will get you the perfect and precise line. It just glides on. It's great for cat eyes and any other tricks you might like to do with your eyes.

Its not inky or thick. Its the perfect combination. It feels light and creamy. It goes on wet but when it dries it lasts all day.

I wear this every single day and I only have to buy a new jar about every 4 months.

So $15 every four months for some great quality eyeliner. You should give it a try.

Budget Friendly Beauty - I can save you more than 50%

I don't know about you guys but times are tough financially for me and my little family. Its just my husband and I with our 4 cats and 2 dogs. Things have gotten so tight I'm dying my own hair and going without everything but food and gas. So pinching every penny here.

But I have good news for you! During my financial struggles I have discovered a way to say 50% or more on  cosmetics!!!

I've been shopping all my beauty essentials at Target and recently picked up couponing to save some much needed money.

So these are my must haves I buy at Target:

• Foundation - Revlon Colorstay
• Powder - Neutrogena
• Mascara - Rimmel

Revlon color stay foundation is $9.99 today i only paid $4.99

Neutogena Compact Powder is $11 my last purchase was $7

Rimmel Mascara is 7$ and my last purchase was $3

Revlon Color stay nail polish is $5 and my last purchase was $2

I've gotten a ton of these great deals for basically every brand for more than 50% off!

Here's how to do it:

1. Newspaper Coupons - if you don't subscribe ask someone you know to save their coupons for you almost everyone just throws them away
2. Internet Coupons - if you didn't find anything in the paper check the web
3. Target Coupons- Go to target.com and click their link for their coupons
4. Check your target add for some great sales
5. Find Target coupons to stack with your coupons and pair them with a sale for a great deal! Often you can get such a great deal by stacking the coupons that no sale is needed!

Okay and if you're like me when I first started couponing and saying what do I mean by stack the coupon says only one per product.

STACK- means you can use ONE MANUFACTURERS COUPON with ONE STORE COUPON on ONE PRODUCT!

EXAMPLE: 

Today I bought a Revlon Colorstay foundation orginally $9.99

I used a manufacturers coupon from the news paper for $2 + a Target Coupon for $3

FINAL PRICE = $4.99

Because one is a MANUFACTURERS and one is a STORE COUPON, you can use both =)

And I find all kinds of great deals all the time!

***** If you would like me to post these great deals I would be more than happy too but I'm not sure how much traffic this blog gets. Please leave me a comment and let me know if this would be useful to you and I will get right on it =) *****

My blog

Lately my email has been blowing up with rude comments on my blog. I swear to the good lord this blog is only meant to be helpful and boost self esteem.

I'm also big on preventing skin cancer and I'm trying to encourage people to use sunscreen and I also think its really unfortunate that you're not pretty if you don't have a tan. Because you can still be pretty no tanning required if you choose not to. Its just a fad right now in this day and age.

My sisters are cuban so they are dark skinned especially when they get out in the sun (they have that perfect tan you want naturally) so they don't seem to burn at all. But it drives me crazy when they're outside running around for hours and hours without sunscreen because even though they don't burn the exposure to the sun could have real consequences when they're older.

And I myself I have freckles from the sun and I am super prone to just breaking out in freckles like chicken pocks if I don't have sunscreen. And not just freckles by age four I already had TWO moles that were possible skin cancer. I had one cut off when I was 16 and it hurt like hell and left a big ugly scar, luckily wasn't cancer but I still have one on my back and a little freckle like thing on my leg that are possibly going to be cancerous and I have to watch them for the rest of my life.

Anyway I've been getting some really nasty comments about me being a racist. So since I have to declare it "I  Laura assure you and pledge before God I am not a racist". I appear to have only posted  pretty Caucasian, Hispanic, and Armenian races on my blog. Unintentionally of course, I just posted pictures that related to my topics and haven't worked on this blog in a long time.

But if you must know about me my sisters are Cuban and they're very pretty you'd be jealous. And in my lifetime I believe I've been friends with a wide variety of people with different ethnicities so many that I cannot even begin to count. And It never occurred to be to keep track of how many people of different races I've befriended and I didn't know I needed to be so aware of it. I just have never really cared what color someone's skin is so I just don't really notice. Unless they're orange, sunburned, or have a ridiculous looking tan then I have to admit I really notice because its just not natural and if you're really orange we can't be friends.
