Update Time!

Hi Everyone,


I just wanted to make a quick post about some new things i'm working on and some changes you'll be seeing soon.

First of all I've bought a domain! Yay! you'll soon enough be pointed to http://www.lovevulcanella.com/ - not yet though... it's all still in progress :)

I toyed with the idea of changing the blog name but deciding on a blog name is hard enough so i've stuck with it :)

I'm also going to work on moving from Blogger to Wordpress, I'm hoping it goes smoothly but am sure i'll run ito some problems... I'll let you guys know as soon as i'm doing it so if your RSS feeders, blogrolls etc don't update you'll know to do it manually (I hope you all follow me to my new home and I apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused)

The reason for the move is an idea i've been wanting to implement onto the blog for quite sometime now seems like it will work better on the Wordpress platform rather then Blogger. I'm really looking forward to sharing this with you all as I think you'll enjoy it :)

I'm also planning on continuing filming YouTube videos, They are fun to do and I hope you guys enjoy watching them. Most of my videos will be hauls, product reviews, vlogs etc I don't think i'm great at applying makeup so I don't feel comfortable doing tutorials.. hope you understand :)

I think that's all for now... I have quite a few reviews I need to get done but i'm trying to hold some back for the move so just expect some light updates till then.

OHHH and most importantly! Once everything is moved over i'm going to have my first giveaway to celebrate! I'm looking forward to that :)

I hope your all having a great week, and i'll talk to you soon :)

NOTD – Kit Cosmetics – Act Out

Another day, another nail colour :)


This is the one I showed in my YouTube video, it's from the new Harlequin Dreams collection from Kit Cosmetics. The colour I got is called Act Out


I was a little hesitant to spend $14.95 on this polish but i'm glad I did. The formula is great but the colour is amazing!


Here is a picture of the new Harlequin Dreams collection, click the name for a link direct to it.

Here are the pictures of Act Out on my nails

Girl on Film! Makeup Haul.. a youtube video

I did a video... my first one so not overly professional :)


I thought rather then do photos and post my haul it'd be quicker and easier, plus fun! I will probably do more of these because they are quite easy.

Thank Tumblr It’s Friday #5

It's Friday!

This has to be my favourite picture of the week, and I need to get one of these for my puggy :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead of them. I'll be doing housework...blahhhh but also going to see Wicked on Sunday for the 2nd time :)

I'll also leave you with Katy Perrys new video clip for "California Gurls" at first I didn't like this song, but it has grown on me so much I can't stop signing it.

I love this film clip! It's so cute! I want fairy floss cherry blossom trees in my house!!!

Bottle Blondes, Pay Attention!

This may come as a shock to you.... but I am in fact a bottle blonde.. shocker! 

If you could see me through your screen right now you'd be able to tell because I have regrowth at the moment that needs to be sorted by my lovely hairdresser ASAP (when I can find the time to go into the salon that is).

Because of my last post about Blondie, and dressing up as her due to my Blonde do' I thought i'd post some little reviews and thoughts on some Blonde Shampoo's I have used over time.

A bit of a background, I was born Blonde and when I was about to go into high school my hair turned a gross dirty mousey dark blonde/light brown colour that I hated. When I was young and naive (thats Evian spelt backwards, props to Reality Bites for pointing that out to me) I dyed my own hair and basically looking back can say I had a big ol' brassy mess on my hands.

Then I got older and wiser and decided to try out this thing called a Hairdresser, HALLELUJAH! (sing it... yeh!!) and over the years i've developed a better relationship with my hairdressers that I am now not a scared little dirty blonde mousey hair mouse. I now speak up and say exactly what I want (I've gone through a few that have made me look as bad as my home jobs...blah!)

I think Hairdressers are also trained to sell product... well thats how I made my first foray into Blonde shampoo's. If you don't know they are often a scary dark purple colour which is what counteracts the brassiness and leaves you with a brighter and much prettier blonde colour, it also prolongs the blonde you left the salon with. A must have if you're going to venture into the world of Blonde, and trust me it is a very fun world!

So here are the ones I've tried over the years and my thoughts. I do really want to try Redken Blonde Glam next so when my current bottle is finished i'll grab that and maybe do an update.

PPS Classic Blonde

One of the first Blonde Shampoo's I owned, also one of the worst. The product was okay as a Shampoo but that's it. The light purple of it really didn't counteract any brassiness and it was soon shelved and kept for emergency only. It was also a pain to get out of the bottle, having to squeeze it so hard to get a little product out.

De Lorenzo Nova Fusion - Silver

This one has a great dark dark purple colour which really counteracts the brassiness, you get a more intense finish if you leave it on longer too. My only gripe about this product was that it dried my hair out so much! Being a bottle blonde plus having curls means my hair is pretty dry already so i'm not a fan of products that make it worse. Having said that though I still think this is one of the best if you need a really intense treatment to get rid of the brassy/yellowness some blondes can have.

Matrix - So Silver

I first read about this product on the Vogue Forums and decided to try it out. LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! This is probably my favourite of all the Shampoo's i'm mentioning today. It has a great dark purple like the De Lorenzo but it's not drying at all and a little goes a long way. I had a bottle of this and it lasted me months and months. If Redken doesn't work out for me i'll be going back to this one for sure.

DNA Products - BlondeBrite Shampoo

This is the one I am currently using. A girl I work with owns a Hairdressing salon and stocks this product so I bought some off her to try. It's not a bad product it's quite moisturising and the colour payoff is good. My only gripe is the size, at 250mls it's quite a small bottle. Another plus is the ingredients in this product are all certified organic, if that's your thing this is a good option. I'm also using 2 of the conditioners from this range as well (not blonde specific) and they are pretty great! You can check out their website Here! I will warn you though, it's quite poorly designed and hard to navigate. So good luck :)

You can buy most of these products at your local Hair supply store like Price Attack & Hairhouse Warehouse. Also try http://www.strawberrynet.com/ because sometimes they are cheaper there too.

Ohh It's Friday today! I will do my Tumblr post later this afternoon :)

I may also try and an do a YouTube video this weekend because the lovely GoldDusk has inspired me and I've done a fair bit of hauling and it'd be the easiest way to show everything!

Have a great day everyone :)

Once I had love and it was a gas…. Being Blondie

Last weekend I had a friends 30th birthday (shocking that all my friends are entering their thirties...I guess I will be soon too!)


It was a dress up with the theme of "B". I'm not much of a fan of fancy dress do's so went with an easy option for me... Blondie... mainly because I have Blonde hair and a dress I thought would work well for the outfit


Here are a few pictures, they are kinda silly and taken on my friends iphone... so not overly quality but it's all a bit of fun really :)

teasing my hair! My friend went as a Blues Brother... identity hidden of course :)

Red lips!!! Also note my necklace found in Diva for $3 with "Blondie" on it :) Also some advertising for crush cosmetics with my palette :)

The final look :) Dress - Sportsgirl, Jacket - Urbane, Tights - Target, Shoes - Pulp


I was going to do some reviews on Blonde toners to fit in with the Blondie theme, but I think that needs it's own post... so will come shortly.


Plus I want to watch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars, seems like a good show so far actually.


My nails also need painting.... priorities you know :)

Thank Tumblr It’s Friday #4 … True Blood Edition

As most of my favourite shows that I watch on US time are ending, one of my absolute favourites is back this week!

So in honour of that I thought i'd dedicate this post to the new season of True Blood and post the amazing promotional pictures they have been sending out weekly for the past 11 weeks

I think these are really really clever, and I guess to understand some of them you have to be a True Blood fan... which you should be!

My First Major Make Up Purchase

I was thinking about this the other day when I came across a picture of my first I guess "high-end" make up purchase.


Then *ding ding* bells rang in my head... Urban Decay used to be stocked in Myer!


Because my first big makeup purchase was this -

It was a shimmery body powder that was edible, but my main buying point was the leopard applicator... yeh i'm a little tacky :)


I can't remember when Urban Decay left the Australian market but I remember I bought this product not long after I started working so around 2000...long time ago... 


I'd love to see Urban Decay enter back into the Australian market, their products always appealed to me because of the "grunginess" of the brand I guess.


Do you remember your first big makeup purchase?
