Why did I go Fire Ombre? My Hair Story ♥

Hey guys! I wanted to do a blog post about my hair today and the changes that I did and why I did it.

Okay, so...

Let's start at the beginning. This picture was taken in Florida in 2007 when I used to go visit with my grandparents, and this was the year everything started. I wanted to dye my hair so bad so I decided to get bangs and dye it dark brown. My original hair color is an ash brown. I was 15 when I took this picture, that's right, 15! I look like I'm at least my current age (22) here, and I think that was the real reason why I wanted to dye my hair, to look older.

I was pretty much a dark brown for about a year, this picture was taken in 2008, but then my hair grew a bit and I decided I wanted to get...bangs and highlights... I waited until the summer of 2008, when I went to visit with my grandmother again, to dye my hair,

So here I am, the summer of 2008, 16 and loving it! I had my hair done with fat highlights, and long thick hair!  This was probably my favorite time of my hair life. I loved having long and thick hair it was amazing!

You can see the highlights better here.

Then in the beginning of 2009, I decided it was time for the JET BLACK HAIR ERA! For some odd reason I thought I wanted black hair, so I went for it!

I only kept it for a couple months, then I thought, HEY! Let's try to go back to my old color!

DID NOT WORK!

AND I HAD TO CUT ALL MY HAIR OFF!!!! It was a really sad day for me. I hated having short hair, I was always a long hair kind of girl, but I wanted to cut it all off and start over. So I was a brunette again for a little while...

Then I met my soon to be ex, btw if you're reading, sorry!!! It's my hair story, and dying my hair red was sooooooo not my idea.

Anyways we met in 2010 when I was 18 years old, and he really liked different styles of hair on me so I said, why NOT! The day I bleached my hair was the worst day in my hair history....

The first time we dyed my hair red, I actually really liked it. Soon after, I relied that I wasn't a huge fan because my roots would always show and I had to keep bleaching and bleaching. That was destroying my hair. Yes, those are guinea pigs, we owned guinea pigs...a lot of Guinea Pigs....

Soon after, in 2011, I was tired of the maintenance and I went back to good ole jet black. I actually had that black hair for only 6 months, until I started missing my red hair again. 


So... I went and did the whole bleaching process again!

That's me and my mom, if you were wondering...

I loved my Ariel hair! It was so much fun having it! So from then on I had my red to auburn to red to auburn for the remainder of the years before now.

So, Ive been a red head for almost 3 years now, and the reason I went ombre was because my hair officially bored the hell out of me and was hard to maintain. I was tired of dying my hair every 6-8 weeks to the same color over and over again. I lost half of my hair, it's not healthy, and I know if I keep doing root touch ups, I will never get my hair back to normal again.

I decided the best way to show my creativity with my hair is to be able to have best of both worlds, I could have colored hair, but almost never have to do a root touch up due to the fact that I have dark hair on top!

So ombre is the look I have today, and I am hoping this will last me a long time so I can grow my hair thicker and stronger!

I hope you guys enjoyed my hair story! Leave a comment if you did, and if you have a hair story blog post, leave it in the comments! I'd love to read your post!

Make Up Forever: Aqua Eyes

Hey everyone! Today's post is about the Make up Forever Aqua Eyes. You know, those eye liner pencils that everyone knows about and say how amazing they are?  Well today I will be reviewing these beauties for you.

So this small palette has five travel sized liners that can be used for a lot of different looks. But how good are they? Make Up Forever is known to be pretty pricey and these full sized pencil's cost $19 USD and that's a bit more expensive than the Urban Decay 24/7 liners, but those are amazing!

 I've always been pretty skeptical with Make Up Forever but I saw this little palette for $10USD so I had to see what the hype was all about.

So when I first tried the black color (0L) it reminded me a lot of the Urban Decay Perversion liner kind of tugged on my top lid but once it heated up a bit it started to glide a bit better. It deff stayed put and it was sort of hard to take off with a make up remover wipe, but that's only the black color, what about the other colors?

17L (Lime Green)           11L(Purple)

So, as you can see these two colors above are a bit splotchy and they don't run too smoothly. I am not sure if it's the formulation of the eye liners or what but these were way different feeling then the next three I swatched.I am not a huge fan of these colors, I would be if they were more opaque, but alas they are not.

 0L(Black), 2L (Brown), 7L(Sparkle Blue)

 Alright, these three are my favorite! I am obsessed with the black and the brown color due to the fact is that they are nice colors and they are so opaque and they glide on really nice. They stay on forever and they make a nice clean line in more motion. The sparkled blue suprised me a lot. I wasn't expecting this to be as opaque as it actually was. This is a baby blue with a lot of sparkle in it. This glided on well as well and I think this would be a great liner for the lower lash line for a pop of color.

I hope you guys enjoyed this review! Will be posting more soon! Thanks so much for checking this out!

Rosa

 Hey everyone! Thanks so much for checking out my blog.

I wanted to make my first post a get to know me type of post.

My name is Rosa, I am 22 years old, and I have an obsession with what life has to offer.

I am currently in school and working so my life can get pretty hectic so I am happy to start a blog where I can write about well...whatever.

As you can see from the title of my blog, Once Upon a Dream and my Youtube channel name Briarrose91 I am kind of a Disney Nut, weird that both of these names originated from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty", but eh I go with the flow.

What this blog will be is a beauty and fashion blog, like my YouTube channel, but I will be also adding in my Life and Fitness as well. I am sort of a fitness nut and I like keeping a diary of my life as well. It's hard of course doing everything on YouTube because I don't want too much to mingle with eachother so I wanted to start a blog that would be easier to update rather than editing all day everyday, even though i pretty much do it around three times a week, but now with school starting I thought a blog might be more practical.

There are also other topics that I would like to talk about on here other than the ones mentioned above, more supernatural and spiritual. I love writing about everything and I wanted one place where I can have it all and not be classified as one particular "subject".

I will probably reveal more of myself later to all of you who care to read.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Rosa
