I have tried Up at Dawn by Maison Martin Margiela, it is there but not quite. I need something more aquatic and gloomy.

Any suggestions?

▲ 12 r/HairDye

I dyed my hair jet black twice (one at the saloon, then at home with a Loreal creme gloss dye). Later on I wanted to go back to closer to my original color, which is dark brown.

Yesterday I visited multiple hairdressers and asked for consultation and price range. They all told me the same: we need to bleach gradually with highlights in multiple sessions. For at least 250 euros.

I usually end up regretting DIY hair changes but I tried vitamine C + head and shoulders shampoo mask for an hour.

I know it is not perfect, some parts are darker etc. but my hair being curly and me being a non perfectionist, I find it way more dimensional and suiting my skin tone. Here are before and afters. It definitely needed some color corrections, it gets a bit orange. I used a purple shampoo but still considering a toner.

Overall, I saved 250 eurs.

▲ 2 r/Coldsore

Hi all,

I have cold sores every year at least twice. However, it lately got more frequent than that ( ~every two weeks).

I notice that I got one right after I got this new lip product: Long Lasting Colour Lip Marker from Kiko. It is exactly like a marker pencil, quite drying but very long lasting.

I bought two different shades in different times, everytime I used the new shade, I had a cold sore.

Don’t get me wrong, I have huge factors to trigger them: a new relationship (my partner never had cold sores though, I doubt that he is the reason), sun exposure, huge stress… But getting cold sores hours later at each time I use these markers was suspicious.

Could it be like combined effect? Stress + sun damage + dried lips from the marker?
