La Riche Directions

Hi!!

     Today I want to talk about my experience with La Riche Directions semi-permanent hair colours.

     La Riche Ltd has been established since 1981. Our exclusive products are consistently distributed worldwide and with demand always increasing, our product range is forever growing. That's what it says at their website.

   The colours I've dealt with are Apple Green and Atlantic Blue.

(Sorry for the pics' quality again =( )

Here's Alpine Green (not opened yet) and Atlantic Blue. I finished Apple Green months ago.

I've used it 3 or 4 times, only to dye my fringe and a side of my hair

Instructions

It contains 88ml and it's not tested on animals =)

     It says you must wash your hair and when it's wet apply the colour with a tint brush (use gloves!) and leave it approximately 15 minutes.I always leave it at least one hour. And this is how it looks after applying Atlantic Blue (I have my hair bleached!!):

Up, two photos took with flash

By daylight

     When applying it you must be very careful because it stains a lot, not only when applying but when you wash it off too. If you're wearing a clear or a light colour nail polish it will turn blue (when I used Apple Green my nails and fingers turned green too, I don't know if other colours stain as much as these ones).

It is just removed when you wash your hands 2 or 3 times, but your nails will stay like these :S

My tint brush 

     The Atlantic Blue lasts long, much longer than Apple Green. When I used Apple Green the next time I washed my hair I could see little yellow highlights and after 2 or 3 weeks my hair was in a lime green colour (but it was beautiful, I promise! lol).

Apple Green the first time I dyed my hair with it

After  3 or 4 washes. Sorry, I haven't got more photos wearing green =( at least not  a decent one :P

     Atlantic Blue doesn't fade so soon. I can wash my hair 4 or 5 times and it just turn a little green. I bleached my hair three times, the last time my hair roots were long:  I've only applied bleach there once and the colour in there fades sooner than in the rest of the hair.

     I haven't tried out any other brand of semi-permanent colours, but I'm happy with these ones. Many people have told me that blue semipermanent colours fade in the first wash but these one in my hair stays a lot of time. I can't wait to use Alpine Green, is such a BEAUTIFUL colour!

Alpine Green

     I bought it at Kate's Clothing for 3.10 pounds. I highly recomend buying stuff here. The first time I ordered the hairdye it arrived broken =( I sent them an email telling so and they answered in a couple of hours saying they're were sorry and telling me they're sending a new ones =D They are the best. I've bought there many times and I'll keep doing it as long as they have that wonderful stuff. Check it out!

      Well, this is it. Hope you liked it and found this useful. 

     

     See ya!!

Stargazer Mascara and Eyeliner in Red

Hi!

     Today I'll talk about two Stargazer products I bought a few weeks ago which I haven't seen so many reviews.

     Stargazer is a company established in 1978 in London, centre of the punk fashion at that time. They have specialized in a very colorful cosmetic line, including face, body and hair products. Also they say they don't test on animals, but can't guarantee that all their products are vegan or vegetarian friendly. Visit their website here.

     The products I'm talking about are Stargazer Mascara and Eyeliner in red.

     (Sorry for the pics' quality :( )

Stargazer Red Mascara

Red Mascara:

     I usually apply this after applying black mascara and the result is very satisfying. It's not a very bright red, but it's a beautiful colour anyway. It usually lasts as long as I'm out.

Here're my lashes without black mascara before applying the red one

In this pic I wear the red mascara over the black one

     Those pics don't show the real color of the mascara. It's not very bright but is not very dark.

     This mascara contains 10 grams of product.

     Would I buy it again? Yes, I think I'll do it. I like it, it's not expensive and I don't actually know another brand that sells a red mascara (I've seen pink, purple, blue, green ones... but not a real red. Do you know another one?)

Red Eyeliner:

     This is a dark red, a little bit thick eyeliner. The colour is just beautiful but if you apply more than 1 coat it gets very very dark.

I've just applied it

After 25 or 30 minutes

    I've been wearing it for almost 4 hours and it doesn't crack on my eyelid

It's very dark indeed :o In this pic I'm wearing it since half and hour ago and it didn't crack.

     This eyeliner contains 8 grams of product.

     Would you buy it again? I don't know. Because it's quite thick you have to be very careful when applying it, and you can get a beautiful eyeline. If you pass the brush on the same point more than once that part gets much darker at that point and it looks awful. And, at least for me, it's not easy to do all the eyeline at a time.

     I bought this set on Glitter Store. They sell the mascara and eyeliner together, in other colours too, and they cost me £4.75 (about 5.70€. I paid about 10 euros including shipping). You should visit this site. They sell a colourful range of cosmetics and lots of sets (like this one). They have an ebay shop too.

     You can algo purchase it on the Stargazer website.

     Hope you find this useful ;)

     See ya :*
