ETUDE HOUSE - Salon Cream Hair Coloring [Vanilla Gold Brown] - Review


My journey to have light colored hair without bleaching ... Part that I've forgotten to post earlier. :(

Since my roots were getting longer, I thought that it would be the timing to do another hair coloring.
I did this coloration after weeks after I tried out Missha Sand Brown color.
This time I picked 'Vanilla Gold Brown' color from Etude House's cream dyes.





This is how my hair looks like before the coloration.
Black roots, a mix of blonde/remaining of red coloration

(please don't mind my bare face)

After the coloration.
My roots came out much lighter! There is still a bit of reddish brown but it's not really that visible.





Overall:

- Very good coverage
- Long lasting            
- The dye doesn't smell bad
- Less easy to apply than a bubble dye (obviously)

The color turned out quite prettily, even though it's more like a dark blonde than gold brown I guess?
The coverage is definitely better than Missha's Long Wear hair coloring cream, so I'm not disappointed. If you want a price comparison:
- Etude House Salon Cream Hair Coloring: ~$11.50
- Missha Long Wear Hair Coloring Cream: ~$10
(Prices from JOLSE)
It's barely more pricey than Missha, but it does a better job. 
What's a bit regrettable is that there is not a large variety of colors you can choose from, compared to Japanese brands.


I hope that review was at least a bit useful.

Garnier OLIA hair dye - Carmin Reds (6.66) - Review

Image
I tried a lot of color but this is the first time that I'm dyeing my hair in red! I was on my way to buy a normal dark brown dye but I saw this box of Carmin Reds and I just couldn't resist!  Before: So I had like a two toned hair style in light blonde/black. I'm only dyeing the blonde part, and I'm supposed to get the same red as on the package. After: The color looks better in real life.  It turned out pretty well, it's actually a deep red with a bit of deep pink undertone. The thing is on this 'after' picture, I just got my shampoo done so I didn't really had to brush my hair or anything since my hair are really straight naturally.. But I noticed something that happened few days after I have dyed my hair: whenever I have trying to curl/straighten my hair, the color would fade away . This is few days after when I tried to use the hair straightener. I only straightened the tips of my hair

Hello Bubble - Milky Ash color Hair dye [ REVIEW ]

Image
Months ago, I bought 2 box of Milky ash color hair dye from Korea.  It's from the brand Mise en Scène  and of course, it's a foam hair dye.   So as you can see, it's brown but kinda.. grey-ish?  It didn't smell bad, when it runed into foam, it was dark. So, here is my hair before I dyed it. It was light blond, a hint of pink and dark blonde for the rest. And here is how it look after the dye: So .. it's.. dark blonde? And my bang is purple/grey/brown color...  Even though all my hair was supposed to be this color.. well..  Then, you may wonder how it would work on dark hair?  I can show you my roots. As you can see, it didn't worked at all on dark hair. I'm not sure it will work well if you wanted to try. Yep, definitely dark blonde... wtf? And this is how it looked after 2 weeks (about 6-7 shampoos) [...] Well, my bang turned into a blue-ish grey. The rest is s

TRAVEL LOG: Japan - Tokyo/Hakone/Osaka/Kyoto

Image
 It's been a year since the last time I posted! 😨  I thought I would make good use of my free time and finally post the photos I took when I was on my trip to Japan last year!  Because, yes, my long life dream has come true, and I finally set my foot on the land of the rising sun (aka Japan), all thanks to my friend Caroline and her mom, who offered to foot the hotel bill, because the prices for a decent 'spacious' hotel in Tokyo were outrageous... 😵 (~90-100€/night). It took me 15 hours to land at Narita, and of course, it was raining dogs and cats when we arrived and all the train were delayed, it took us about 3hrs to arrive in Tokyo... Like good tourists, we visited the Tokyo Sky Tree and send some postcards home. I should have sent one to myself so I could have stamp to keep as a souvenir!  I do admit I am a shopping mania, but we were reasonable and bought nothing but a pin. We also went to Shiota Chiharu's exhibition, I was really looking forward to it and glad
