wella color. ID

Hive of activity at wella salon. Each girl getting a personal consultation. My consultant recommended various shades of blonde...yay. I was over the red. We first cleansed excess red out. Then a 1% bleach was applied to lighten all over. They then colored the roots. illumina premium color with color id mixed in, was added in sections (that would suit my fine hair type & hair cut) Color id forms a matrix around the color to stop it mixing in with the color placed on top/below. For more information on Wella Color. ID look at the wella Australia website. Color id also can decrease use of foil (which adds to environmental waste) the colorist doesn't have to wash her hands or change gloves in between colors, meaning less time for a whole head of color. The process is sped up with the wella heat pod ( no fans to dry out your hair and scalp and no steam to dilute the color...making you feel like you're in the jungle). Overall, wella color. ID saves your time spent in the salon just on color. you'll have extra time for a great cut and blow dry. The wella system allows you to get a wella permanent straightening and color done on the same day without ruining your hair. Wella Color. ID is not out till February 2014 so you'll have to wait for this, but...definitely ask your wella salon to put you on the waiting list for this new breakthrough in color. A wella patent product.

Radiant Orchid, Pantone Color of the year, and how to wear your makeup!

For those looking to be on trend this season, #pantone #coloroftheyear is #radiantorchid. A gorgeous pink/blue based purple tone. My tip for wearing it on the eyes successfully, is to use a peach concealer under the eye to counteract the shadows this color can bring out. Co-ordinate with an orchid blush and deeper lipstick with a shimmering lip gloss. Showing below from top row to bottow is" 1 DIOR blush, 2 Clinique Blush (limited edition) 3 Face of Australia shimmer, 4 Stilla waterproof eyeliner. Clinique touch tint for eyes, Dior 5 color eyeshadow. 6 Clinique liner and shadow palette, 7 Clinique sheer lipstick. 8 Stilla lip gloss. 9 Revlon shimmer stick (old) 10 Illamasqua blush.
