『Review』Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Color: Royal Brown

Hello lovies! 

So since its a new year, I decided I would also dye my hair a new color. 8D 

When I went to New York, I saw Liese Prettia's Bubble Hair Color on sale. There was also Palty there, but I decided I would get the one that costed less cause I'm a big cheapster. HAHA

I was contemplating over whether I wanted an ashy brown or a bright brown. Unable to choose, I closed my eyes and grabbed a random one from the shelf. I ended up with Royal Brown, which is a milky, lightish brown that has a brightness of two stars out of five.

The image looks so photoshopped- AHA CRIES 

Sadly, the box got a bit ruined in the process of walking in the rain. Since my bag was so big, it didn't fit the umbrella Carl and I were sharing. He did tell me to tie my bag up so the stuff inside wouldn't get wet, but I was lazy- LOL

I found the picture on the left from their official site. It shows here that the hair color will only change slightly if you have super dark hair. I was kinda sad when I saw since I was hoping for a much lighter brown. :'<

There are directions and such on the back, but I can't read Japanese. OTL

However, KAO has provided us a very helpful translated version of this on their website. *^* 

After skimming through it and reading important warnings and tips, I started unboxing it!

Here's what we have.

1. Solution 1, which I'm guessing is the color. 
2. Solution 2, I have no idea what this is. LOL
3. Gloves, warnings, and instructions. It was all in Japanese, so I just quickly looked at the pictures.
4. Rinse-Off Treatment
5. Foamer Cap

Pour Solution 1 into Solution 2!

DO NOT SHAKE, but flip the bottle five time.

Replace the white cap with the foaming cap. Be careful not to squeeze the bottle or else foam will come out.

I got on my gloves and I started applying from the top!

The Smell

OH GOD, I WAS LITERALLY CRYING. It was like full on chemicals in my face; I even had a hard time breathing. OTL 

No but really, you need to wear a mask with this. I had to keep the solution in my bathroom, hold my breath, plunge in there and get a pump, then run out to fresh air. It was like mission impossible. :c

It was alright at first, but then it kinda felt like I was breathing hairspray. The smell was sickly sweet and definitely not breathable. 

So I finally got every last bit into my hair and it still wasn't enough. LOL 

Apparently my length of hair needed two boxes of dye. I'll have do make do with ombre. :'>

I left it in for around 40 minutes!

Now before I show results, lets take a gallery walk of my black hair. 8D

I tried to find pictures of where I didn't use filters, which was quite a few.

But yeah! Though it's not jet black, it's quite dark compared to the color I wanted.

Aaaaaand the reveal!

The color was so perfect! *A* Even though only the top of my hair was dyed, I loved the nice ombre it gave. <3 The color did come out pretty evenly and my hair wasn't the least damaged after using it. (Note that I have thick hair though. I'm not sure about usage on thin hair.)

Pros

• Even outcome
• Final color is close to claim color
• Does not harm thick hair
• Relatively inexpensive (mine was $10!)

Cons

• Horrible smell
• Nothing is in English
• Slightly messy

Final Thoughts

I was extremely happy with the color that it gave, very accurate to the display on the box. Though I really wasn't a big fan of the smell. That was a big negative for me. :<

Final Score: 7/10

Would I repurchase? 

Probably not. I'm going to try Palty next time. Hopefully I don't gag and die with that one.

Thank you so much for reading! <3
