Lou's Views - Ted Baker Tablet/Ipad Mini Case

I have had my Nexus 7 (reasons why I love this and chose this over an iPad coming up later) for 2 years now but its only recently after a unfortunate scratch (boo hoo) that I purchased a case for it. I don't know about you guys but for me searching for a case was tedious, I couldn't find ANY that I truly loved and wanted. Luckily whilst looking on the Ted Baker website I found this treasure!!!

This was just meant to be :) I didn't even type it in the search engine I just randomly stumbled across it. This is me ALL over. I frigging love it. Its so cute and it fits my nexus in perfectly. The material is so nice to hold, its a smooth patent design and you can get these in pink, nude and black. I chose this deep royal blue because for one blue is my favourite colour, two it definitely to me looked the smartest and most stylish choice and three the blue gem on the gold bow just had me sold!!! The gem is almost topaz colour just a tad lighter ad it has Ted Baker written very discretely underneath which you can read through the clear stone.

 

If you have read some of my blogs you will know that I am loving gold and coppers at the moment so the gold detailing on this just had me even more. It also features a really cute gold zip. This case doesn't open like a book and lay flat it just zips round and opens like a pocket, easy to just slide your tablet in and out. There is also a small pocket inside where you could keep other small bits and bobs maybe your stylus if you use one, that kind of thing. I got this for a bargain because it was on sale when I bought it, I think I paid around £17 for it and I believe it was originally about £32. I am tempted to buy another colour just because I love it so much but I am fighting the urges because I'm cutting down on unnecessary purchases hmmmm (who needs two cases if only one tablet??)

 

 

Oh the packaging was bang on too....cute!

 



Lou’s View’s – Bleach London Silver Shampoo review

This product = Yes Yes Yes. How many people can empathise with me on how annoying highlighted or bleached hair can be when it decides to turn brassy!! I chose to ombre my hair after toying with the idea for so long and I was always in ore of how good it looked, I started with some subtle flashes of blonde coming through and gradually built it up to have full on ombre. I loved it at first but after time I started to experience a different tone to my hair and not a good tone! Brassy, canary yellow tones were started to make my hair just look scruffy!

 

 

I tried different colour correcting shampoos and conditioners, the best being John Frieda colour renew tone corrector, but the affects were too subtle and the brassiness, even though slightly better, was still there! Getting frustrated I was about to phone my very good friend who happens to also be my hairdresser and tell her to make me brunette again when I stumbled across this beauty in Boots! As a last ditch attempt and not breaking the bank at only £5 I decided to buy it. I am so happy I did! This product is amazing!

 

Even though this says shampoo, to me this is just a toner. The consistency is very thin and deep purple in colour. I put this all over my blonde, left for about 2 minutes and washed off and followed by a wash and condition with the John Frieda colour renew. After just this one wash all of my yellow brassy tones were gone!! My hair looked like it had just been re-coloured and I’ve read that if you leave this on for longer the effects are even stronger, but do be careful as some people have reported lilac tones after leaving it on for too long.

 

 

 

Overall very happy customer and would 100% recommend. Even though I am now booked in to have some low lights put in to make me a bit darker I am still super impressed and will continue to use this to keep my blonde bits looking fresh!!

 

*Just Note* just be careful not to spill or splash this product as it can stain. Also, read the instructions carefully as using this silver shampoo too often can overtone your hair.
