I love to try different brands of bubble dye and now my choice falls to a bubble dye from Etude House called Hot Style Bubble Hair Coloring, because it's easy to find at any Etude House store and the price is just rightttt, only IDR 88k. This is the cheapest bubble dye I could find in the market, I was kinda broke at that time, no money for Japanese hair dye so I grabbed it with no hesitation lol

Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring has 7 colors to choose, and my color of choice is Natural Brown, because among all colors available it's the closest to my current hair color, I usually choose medium brown color for my hair, or anything that doesn't look red, too orange or too yellow, so I think Natural Brown is the right color to pick. 

Thank God they provide the English instruction on the box. Well most bubble dyes in pump-type have the same procedure so I did not pay much attention to it, but for first timers this sure would come in handy. But I wonder why don't they provide the color chart?!?! 


Anyway, let's see what's inside the box!

So this is my hair condition before the dyeing process. As you can see, my roots are quite long already, and  quite contrast to the color below it, which is annoying. I wish my hair  would grow brown instead of black lol #blamingthedestiny

Don't bother about my messy hair and oily scalp. I haven't taken a shower here lol

First thing first, prepare your war outfit! Because hair dyeing process could get messy, wear a shirt that you don't really care about then protect yourself with plastic gloves and shoulder cover.






The shoulder cover is honestly a crap, it's super thin and very very very easily torn apart. As you can see from my pic, my shoulder cover is split into two the moment I put my head through the neck hole. Maybe because my head is too big? -__-

Remove the stopper and press the pump. Voila, you get a fluffy white and very clean colored bubble. This is surprising actually, most bubble dyes I used always look purplish or reddish, never they came in a clean bubble like this. The bubble texture is quite good, not too runny but not as creamy and fluffy as Liese. It doesn't smell bad too :D Usually hair dye would fill the entire room with horrid amoniac smell, but this one does not. It still has an amoniac smell, but not too strong and overpowering to the point that it would make you faint.

And another surprising thing is it WON'T stain anything except your hair. I don't know why, some of the dye are accidentally smeared over my stuff like my phone, door and even my shirt for quite a long time (about 30 minutes or something before I wipe it off) but it left no stain or whatever o_O



Pay attention, start only with DRY HAIR. Hairdye won't work on wet hair!

Because my roots are really black, I start applying the bubble from my roots first, then the inner part of my hair then stop at the hair ends. Massage the hair and scalp just like how you shampoo your hair, so the hair dye would spread evenly. It's easy to apply because the foam texture is just right (not too thick and not too runny). This time I put more attention to the inner part and back of my hair, because that's the hardest part to color, no matter how much I massage and apply the dye it would always stay dark lol.

 Since my hair is about neck-length, 1 bottle is definitely too much for me. So I save the remaining hair dye to be used later LOL. You can also share the dye with your friend, think about being irit & hemat  lol.


After you're sure you're doing everything right, just let the dye stay on your hair and wait like a boss 8)) Don't mind my face. Just woke up, even I haven't washed my face here.

Okay, wait I'm starting to worry,  I see no bubble. And I don't see my hair color changing. Makes me wonder if this thing could really color my hair >_>




I wait for about 30-45 minutes until the bubbles are gone completely. My hair is sooooo dry to the point that it feels stiff, crusty and crispy like a potato chip that could be crushed anytime. I wash my hair with a broken heart, cz my hair feels so tangled and hard to comb through!!! :'((



But this thing fixes everything though. My hair feels soft again the moment I apply this on, and it smells so flowery. SAVIOUR!
Too bad it comes in a small sachet, it won't be enough for long hair :(



So this is the result after I wash my hair, it's still half-dry though. As you can see my roots are still darker compared to the rest of my hair, and some dark patches are visible here and there :((




I'm not pleased with the result so I repeat the process all over again with the remaining hair dye that I had earlier. And this is how it looks like. BYE UGLY ROOTS!!!




My hair becomes more vibrant (too vibrant in fact), but all my roots are covered and the color looks more even from the roots to the inner part of my hair, which is usually hard to dye .



 
* Looks too orangey

RATING
3.5/5


REPURCHASE?
Probably


Overall I think this is a pretty good hair dye for newbies, or  for those who are a lil bit tight on money (like me lols), because it's easy to use and affordable. One thing that disappoints me is the color, I prefer it to be a little beige-ish. Maybe I should try Mocha Pink next time ^^;





So, that's it for today. Should go  back to my thesis soon.T_T Bye and see you on my next post!

Etude House Rosy Tint Lips #8 : After Blossom

"This velvet type tint lips comes with a soft delicate texture and rich color to express lips of a rosy petal."

Rosy Tint Lips' box design is seriously very pretty. If I were a graphic design lecturer, I would give this 9.5 hahaha. The rose pattern gives the romantic and mature vibe, it matches the target though (I thought the Rose & Fall Collection is targetted for girls with higher level of age? correct me if I'm wrong) Feminine design like this surely will attract a lot of girls. Bahkan saya yang gadis jedi-jedian ini pun bisa tertarik, gimana yang gadis normal cobak ._.

I'm going to wash this later! >:(
