My Little Aftershave Collection =D

So its coming up to Christmas and I just know I am going to get Aftershaves as presents, so I thought I would just do a quick blog about the Aftershaves I have already also sharing with you my thoughts on them.

I don't have a huge collection and most of my Aftershaves are actually Rip Offs of the real brand ones, but in Recessionary times do will really need or can we afford designer labels?

Anyway Here is My Collection


My Collection Consists of 8 Aftershaves

Here is a list of them and what I think about them




1) This is one called Open Road, I haven't a clue were I got it from. Its in a very Large bottle so I presume it is a Rip Off of something. However it does smell nice and as you can see I use it quite often =D

2) I think this one is another RipOff because I have never heard of any one called David Banks. Its Called David Banks life and my mother got it off one of my cousins who was selling them. It does smell okay but it is quite musky which I don't really like. The bottle is still quite full.

3) Now this is my favourite as you can see(kinda) the bottle is nearly empty. This is VERSACE The Dreamer. It is an abosolute favourite of mine and smells lovely, would make a great present for a Husband, Boyfriend, Son etc....I must put it on my Santa List =D

4) This is a 75ml bottle of ISSEY MIYAKE which my mother bought for me. I wear it some of the time but is a real day time aftershave(yes there are aftershaves and perfumes for different time of the day). I would recommend it for a birthday or christmas present, it is quite nice but I have kind of grew out of it =D

5) This is Intimately YOURS Beckham(David) there is also I female one. I got this aftershave last Christmas as a present from my sister and it is actually a suprisingly nice scent. However it is quite a sweet smelling aftershave and could pass for a Womans Perfume(My mother usually robs a few sprays of it)

6) This is DAVID BECKHAM instinct. I also got this last Christmas off my mother. This one has a more masculine smell to it and is also a suprisingly nice scent. If buying a BECKHAM  aftershave for a man I would recommend this one because Intimately YOURS smells like a perfume. 
7) Now this is another Rip Off or it might be a LIDL brand I'm not sure, its called BUZZ Emotion. This Aftershave is actually very nice, and if it is a Lidls Brand I would recommend if you are looking to save money on presents this year that you should consider buying it because it does smell very nice indeed. =D
8) This is a Rip Off also, probably a Rip Off of HUGO BOSS well so I think because its called NEW EGO ??? It could also be a LIDL Brand. Personally it does smell very nice and I would also recommend it to the people who are pinching the pennys this year.

Okay so basically thats a quick blog about my Aftershaves and a few little recommendations.

My RED Experience

Dying your hair and changing the is just another regular modern thing do to.. YEAH YEAH YEAH , people have been dying their hair for centuries but it just wasn't the same as today. We change the Colour and Style because it does give us a new edgy look or even a different persona kind of =S..  Personally from my experience it makes you feel better about yourself, for a short time anyway.

However dying can sometimes be more embarrassing for some people i.e. the blonde bombshell going wrong and turning Ginger or in some cases Green.

I dyed my hair in the past and personally I enjoyed the experience because it was such a change from my natural dull medium brown hair. This time last year I went RED. I just thought it would be cool to be Red and also I did follow the woman who made it a big thing over the last year,  Rihanna, I know I'm male but I just love her =D So why not copy the woman's hair colour and yeah I did try copy the style also lol turned out Crap ooops :-(.
Lighting is very bright in this pic
 (My Sister shaved it too close, it grew back in a week though)


I am really just reminiscing here =D

 I used Schwarzkopf Live Colour  XXL 35 Real Red and I didn't bleach my hair or anything before it. (I think Schwarzkopf hair dying products contain Henna so if you are allergic to Henna don't use it) 



The dye was surprisingly long lasting. I thought I would be ORANGE  after the first wash, but it did last about 7 weeks before fading and I wash my hair nearly everyday. However if you use an anti-dandruff shampoo I believe it does strip the colour from your hair. At the time I was using two different Shampoos and conditioners, VO5 Elixir Shampoo and conditioner(I think it was the Elixir shampoo and conditioner 2in1 and I was only using it because it was on offer at the time) and I used Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo and Conditioner(Smells Nice plus makes your hair appear shinier and makes the red more Vibrant)





So basically that was my RED hair experience and it was short lived. I had put in a brown dye over the Red in the end because I got a job interview and I don't think RED hair and facial piercings would of really made a good impression.
