Clairol Nice n Easy Foam Dye in Medium Champagne Blonde

Hello Everyone!



I'm currently fighting off the last bits of this horrible flu-y virus.
But I did dye my hair last night!
I used Clairol Nice n Easy Foam Dye in Medium Champagne Blonde.
It was £4.99 from Superdrug.






Hmpppfff is my opinion on this,
I'm not sure whether I like it or not.

My first initial thoughts was that the packaging and bits were a bit on the tacky side.
But meh I can overlook that!

As soon as I opened the dye it stank to high heaven,
it felt asif it was burning the back of my throat, NOT GOOD! :[
So I quickly ran to the window and opened it.

I followed the instructions to the T,
mixing A and B together, blah blah blah.
Then I tried to squeeze it out and all I got was a liquid mess.
Hmmmm I never saw that on the advert.
After a few squeezes the foam started coming but I had to press so damn hard for the smallest amount of foam to come out, >.<
Its still quite messy (as you can see from the pic) but is much easier to apply then regular hair dye.

It just about covered my head,
baring in mind I have medium length hair which is very thick.
Any less and I would have been struggling.

Left it on for 25mins and washed it out with that specific conditioner.
That made my hair feel super soft and luxurious.

All in all it was an OK dye,
my hair is still brassy but I can live with it.
I'm planning on getting some highlights put through just to brighten it up a little.

Have you guys tried any of these 'foam' dyes?

Girl Gamer

I hate the stigma which is attached to the 'girl gamer' label,
more often then not women are not taken seriously when it comes to gaming,
but I know many girls that play games and are actually better then most of the guys out there.

I've been an avid gamer since I was really little.
Banjo and Kazooie was my 1st game for the N64,
Awwwh!




Then I went on to play the Sims (1 and 2),
I swear every teenager must have played this game at some point!


Next I played games such a Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto on the PS2.




I was introduced to COD2 by a friend and was addicted straight away, 
I bought COD4 and finally COD MW2 when it was released.



I played COD for quite a few years.
My boyfriend, Mick, was a professional gamer when I met him.
He use to play for Team Dignitas.

I joined Team Infused as part of an all girl team,
my alias back then was Qu33neY.



I was fortunate to attend lans (i-series)
which are sososo much fun and I got to meet so many great people/players.





After that Mick and me decided that we was going to start playing World of Warcraft.
We had a few friends that played the game already and so quickly leveled up.
This was back in 2008 when Wrath of the Lich King had just been released.
I have 5 high level chars:

level80 Orc Hunter
level 80  Tauren Shaman
level 80 Draenei Shaman
level 82 Blood Elf Deathknight
my main char level 85 Troll Druid - Hattie

I was lucky enough to be part of a great guild where we killed Lich King on 25man Heroic and therefore earning the title 'the light of dawn'



Then Cataclysm hit early on in December 2010 and was really good to begin with but the game has lost its spark for me and I have recently cancelled my subscription.
It is a really fun game to play but I just don't have any interest in it anymore.

My nights previously involved me playing computer games whereas now I'm a little lost to what I should do with myself!
I've been watching a lot more TV and just chillin' out in the sitting room with family/pets,
and of course I have got myself into blogging,
which I love already!

Sorry for such a random post ^^
