Makeup Challenge - Fruit Inspired + New Haircut!

Hi everyone! I am sooo excited to do this post today. I cut and dyed my hair yesterday for the first time in about a year. I've had trims, but I haven't actually cut it. I am so happy with the cut and the new color.


 My hair had gotten to be very unhealthy from a bleaching that I did back in June of 2011. We also have really hard water here at my new apartment, which makes it so difficult to keep my hair beautiful and shiny. I was able to find some hair products that kept my hair from getting any worse (review to come on these soon!), but it's really difficult to repair your hair when there is that much damage. I had bleached my hair many times before and not had that problem, but I think that last bleaching was the straw that broke the camel's back. I am so incredibly excited to show you all my makeup challenge for the day that showcases my new hair. :)
 For today's challenge, the theme was fruit inspired. I wanted a look that could be wearable, but that still showed a fruit inspiration behind it. I decided to use a kiwi as my inspiration. I really love the different colors of the kiwi fruit. I also really enjoy eating kiwis, so this look was a good one to try. I am really happy with how this look came out. I just layered the different colors on top of each other, just like a kiwi. I started with a light color, built to a green, and then finished with a sparkly brown. I hope that you all like the look, as well as my new haircut. Please, let me know what you think of everything. :)
