Garnier Olia Intense Copper | AimeeBellMua

So yesterday I decided it was time for another hair colour change so I decided I wanted to go for a copper colour. The picture above doesn't quite show the true colour of it but its a very nice copper brown which I am in love with.

I purchased the Garnier Olia Intense Copper hair dye from Superdrug which was around £6.99 so it is a slightly higher priced of the home box dyes however I love the packaging.

In the box you get the squeezy applicator bottle, developer crème, and the actual hair pigment which you mix together.

You then begin to apply the hair colour using the nozzle. I find it easier if I start around my hair line, then put the colour through my roots, and then put the rest of the mixture all over my hair and massage it into my scalp.

The recommended development time is 30mins however I only left it on 20 as I know my hair is very porous and soaks up hair dye like its going out of fashion and can end up being a lot darker than my desired result.

I then washed the colour out using the conditioner given with the dye, which smells gorgeous and has left my hair feeling soft and looking shiny.

All in all I am very pleased with the result and will be using this hair dye again in around 6 weeks when my roots have grown back.

I rate this product 4 out of 5* as the product is very nice however I would of liked it to be a slightly brighter colour!! But maybe if I go over it again next time I am ready to dye it, it will be closer to the colour shown on the box.

**I would always recommend doing a small patch test behind your ear 48hrs prior to when you want to dye your hair incase of an allergic reaction**

Lots of Love A xox

My Pixie Cut | AimeeBellMua

If it was up to me, the world would be full of Pixie Cut beauty's I just wish more people would take plunge and get the chop. It's the best thing I have ever done!

People ask who I have based it on and the answer is obviously Frankie Sandford (Or Bridge now as she married earlier this year!) She's absolutely gorgeous  and was the main reason I thought about the chop.

Ive had short hair now for about 4 years, and through this time don't get me wrong I have wished that I could just get up in a morning and screw my hair up on top of my head in a messy bun when I cant be bothered to deal with the 'Porcupine' Hair style I wake up with everyday! But I do love it and wouldn't change it now. I feel so much more confident!

If you are considering the chop but are too scared to just go from hip length to pixie, get it cut into stages, then at least its not a massive shock and possible regret straight away.

I got it in about 5 stages... 1st chop was from Belly Button length to long 'Posh, Victoria Beckham' bob, to shorter bob, to a more asymmetric bob, to Frankie Sandford Crop to Pixie! :)

The shorter I've gone the better I have felt, and everyone commented on how bright my eyes looked and how much more slender my face was.

Obviously depending on face shape depends on how suitable you are for this cut, but if you have a consultation with your hair dresser and explain what you would like (With pictures, hairdressers do love pictures!) they can help find the 'Pixie' cut for you.

I will upload some more posts soon on how I style my hair and what hair products I use to achieve the 'Messy' look.

Lots of Love, A xox
