To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- Matrix Total Results So Silver

Those of you blonde girls know that a toner is important in maintaining blonde hair. I wasn't so quick on the uptake. I really disliked that before my hair was due for a highlighting touch up, my blonde would start to yellow and go brassy. Definitely not a good look.
Finally, my hairdresser talked me into buying a toning shampoo. The product happened to be Matrix Total Results So Silver. 

 This toning shampoo has been formulated to neutralize unwanted brassy warmth. Removing yellow tones from blonde, highlighted and grey hair. The cool violet tone is what gives this product its super powers.
As you can see a flip-top lid reveals the openning for dispensing product. Simple can often be best.
 The product is typical of a shampoo in terms of consistency. Not sure if you see how it is set apart from a normal shampoo? Well, it's the deep violet... lol (which looks blue in these pics, but it's definitely purple) 

 Upon first application, I found this colour a little scary. As instructed, I used gloves to apply. Massaging into my hair, I then let it sit for about a minute. As I mentioned, the colour scared me, lol. It's fine to reapply if needed, but I find that washing with my regular shampoo first, means the bottle lasts me longer, which is great when using a more expensive salon product.

 Would I repurchase? Yes, and already have! Although it's the only toner that I have tried, I am pleased enough with the results, that there are currently no other toning shampoos on my radar. I no longer bother with gloves, and am comfortable leaving the shampoo on my hair for 5 minutes before rinsing. I just love how this product refreshes my blonde hair. Longer time now lapses between hair appointments, because I just don't feel my hair needs re-doing so quickly.
 Before using toner, as in my hair hasn't been washed for a week, lol

 It's time I went back to the hairdresser, BUT this shows how well Matrix So Silver works, so you are seeing the results, even tho I need my highlights redone...3 weeks ago!!

    I'm in love with the colour, and what it does for your highlights hon ♥ If I ever go back to being blonde, I wouldn't be caught without this. In my teens I used to use Magic Silver White, but it was a rinse kind of thing that never lasted, but this looks far more effective ♥

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
