Am I Ginger?

Red In A Box

Once upon a time, I was an elitist bitch about do-it-yourself boxed hair dye (though I still believe you can’t beat a pro colorist, unless she turns your hair a putrid shade of pink, then beat her all you like—kidding!) Until one day, when motherhood, marriage, career, and a recession, had shaken and baked the hell out of my finances. What’s a Renegade to do when desperado for a color change? That’s where L’Oreal Superior Preference Intense Copper came in last Sunday night. Although I’ve been white blonde, golden blonde, black, all shades of brown, and had red highlights (and once all at the same time—it looked phenom) this is my first time as an official redhead.

I had hoped for a bit more of the “intense” promised, but overall I’m happy with the results. Stand back, there’s a new red-haired bitch  in town! 

A England? A+!

Mine, mine, mine at last! 

I’m so excited—as in positively bursting at the seams ecstatic! My A England shipment has arrived! I’ll admit I am a little behind the times, as I’ve been coveting these for well over a year, but as they say, better late than never. By some cosmic miracle, with only hours to spare, I had discovered that A England was having a £5 sale on the inaugural collection, The Mythicals. Naturally, I had to seize the opportunity. Although it was difficult (as in nearly impossible), I narrowed it down to three: Tristam, Merlin and Lady of the Lake and they sparkle, sparkle, sparkle. The consistency and coverage is absolutely lovely. Now I must wait impatiently until fall to showcase these sultry little gems. Check out the A England site. They are soon releasing a new collection, The Gothics, and so far, the swatches are rather alluring. They also rock the free shipping so the cost hurts far less!
