Bleach London: Awkward Peach Review...

So, initially I wanted to dye my hair a silvery grey colour as I was just totally bored with my natural colour.
I went straight in with the bleach, my hair was originally a dark blonde colour with natural blonde highlights, so I didn't have to bleach my hair too much to reach the 'pale yellow' stage.
I had slight trouble with the directions toners as neither the grey or white worked on my hair...
I then invested in Bleach London's 'White Toner' as a couple of youtubers had given good reviews on it and stated it was worthy of buying.
To be honest this did pretty much nothing to my hair! I was so ticked off as I spent at least £7 on the product. But you have to keep in mind ANY hair product works differently on different types if hair, so I'm not saying it won't work do you.
After trying and spending heaps of money on trying to get my hair silver, I changed my mind colour-wise. 
I went to my local boots store and picked up an 'Awkward Peach' colour from the Bleach a London shelf. They have tonnes of amazing colours, they got me so excited! 
I was hoping to go 'Parma Violet' but the had run out at my local boots store so I picked up the next best thing.
I am actually really pleased with the outcome! The dye was so easy to apply, and us not time consuming at all! They dye has turned my hair a range of peachy colours and they all blend in so well together, I reccomend this to anyone who is unsure of dying their hair too bright or an unnatural colour, as the outcome is a lovely, light pastel colour, perfect for summer! 
Will definitely be testing other colours from their range! 
The smell is also amaaaazing, not musky like other dyes. It literally smells like a rainbow on your head. Delicious.

I love a DIY...

Customising your old clothes is super way to breathe new life into them. I've had my matte black docs for about two years and have barely worn them! They are slightly too big, but I think the black isn't really very me!
I re-vamped them using an embossing set handed down to me about 3 years ago. I used to use it for card making, but now I don't really do that much anymore I thought why not put them to use on a different project!
I'm overly happy with my docs, and to be honest have changed my mind about selling them🙊. Here is a DIY video on my youtube channel on how you can create the same look! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sLeJZ3aGbMQ
I also drew some inspiration from 'The Fashion Citizen' who used stamps and spray paint to personalise their own, you can achieve this look without any embossing materials: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqawx5wVa0k
Happy DIY'ing :) xoxo
