wella professionals color fresh silver 0/89

i saw a blog post about wella color fresh toning and i was so excited to try it. i chose the second darkest grey - silver 0/89 - that looked super grey on the sample. i was left to be disappointed again.

i'm sorry i didn't make a proper before picture, i was already in the shower when i remembered :D but here is few pictures so you get the idea.

so my hair was already pretty silver before using the wella toning.

and here is the after.

as you can see, my attempt to go darker didn't really happen. i understand that maybe it can be that i thought different about the product, but i explained to the shop assistant what i wanted, and she recommended this colour. anyway i think the wella color fresh works really well for someone that has yellow toned hair and wants to make it colder.

i washed my hair and dried it to almost dry before applying the product, and i kept it on for 45 min instead of 5-20 min that was recommended (the guide was saying you can leave it on longer for more intensive finish). the only difference that i noticed was that in the sunlight the hair looked more colder toned.. so my journey to grey hair continues.

new favorite: clinique superdefense CC cream SPF 30 colour correcting skin protector

i got a sample of the clinique cc cream and i must say i'm pleasantly surprised. the formula is really soft and lightweight and it makes the skin look healthy and radiant.

my bare face on the left and with clinique cc cream on the right. my sample is shade light-medium.

what is a cc cream? it's lighter than a foundation, but heavier than a tinted moisturiser. cc creams are usually also lighter than bb creams. the letters "cc" stand for color correcting. why i love this product is that it actually neutralizes my redness very well.

i'm so in awe with this product that i will definitely be purchasing it soon. it's a great summer product since i don't like to use foundation in the summer. the shade light-medium is perfect because it gives me a little bit color, but it still looks really natural. i also prefer the high sun protection that the product has.

the price in finland is 36€.
