Buy it online, wash and spray and gradually let your hair lighten - no one notices the difference but by the end of the summer you have a sun bleached look that they pay a fortune for on Kings Road - even in Yorkshire. Not worthy of mocking but well worthy of a recommendation.

I loved Zen Impulse as well and had Spectacular nail varnish in emerald. Does anyone remember the nail varnishes in Miss Selfridge? They were in small frosted glass bottles with a small white outline of a heart on them, I had a pale blue and a pearlescent purple colours, I think the last colour was called cyanide!Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679083865334188594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-1625693822962303962014-05-20T20:34:14.932+01:002014-05-20T20:34:14.932+01:00The boys in my school were all about Lynx Atlantis...The boys in my school were all about Lynx Atlantis.Sian Meadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536919654548369387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-62423146680442432272014-05-20T20:33:49.920+01:002014-05-20T20:33:49.920+01:00I'd forgotten all about Zen!
