Hair and Beauty in Diary

I'm not a girly girl by any stretch of the imagination but I have some hair and beauty stuff to talk about today, which is very unusual for me.

I've been doing a trial for some facial moisturiser. I have to only use it on one side of my face for two weeks and nothing on the other side and then fill in a survey. Well, I can't see the difference between the two sides, not at all! We're always told how important it is to moisturise and I normally do it every day as part of my routine, but now I haven't moisturised one side at all for two weeks and don't notice the difference, I wonder if I've been wasting my time and money all these years, or if it's more of a long term investment?

Another beauty mystery to me is sea salt spray. Amy at work was raving on about it the other day so I looked it up online and found it was getting five star reviews everywhere, everyone loves it blah blah. So I bought some; I don't often do anything to my hair but I thought I'd give it a try. It's supposed to give your hair gentle waves and give it a tousled, beach type look. So I decided to put it in only one side of my hair to see how great it is compared to the side that has nothing in it. It does nothing! I followed the instructions to the letter and my hair didn't look any different on either side. Not only that, but it ended up looking really dull and straw-like by the end of the day. What the hell? How come everyone else in the world thinks it's amazing, what am I doing wrong?

Speaking of hair, I've made an appointment for a cut on Saturday. I hate going to the hairdresser, I haven't been for three years. I've only ever got exactly what I asked for once in my entire life. Last time I went, I asked for the cut I got when I loved it which was jaw length, really choppy with layers, feathering etc. But I ended up with a crappy Lego type bob. Every time I've gone to the hairdresser it's either ended up looking like a load of crap or looking exactly the same as when I went in. But it's getting really dry now and looks boring all the same length, so I'm braving it and trying again to get something half decent. I'm still keeping the length but I need a trim and I would like some subtle layers and feathering, just to give it a bit of interest. Let's see how it goes!

My new printer arrived today. My laptop didn't. I ordered seven things off Amazon all in the same order; everything that's coming from the Marketplace were all dispatched either the same or next day. Everything that's coming from actual Amazon still hasn't been dispatched, three days later! What's going on Amazon? I'm excited to get everytihng set up but there's no point me taking my printer out of the box until my laptop arrives. Sort it out!
