Review: Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye (Glossy Brown)

No Comments »

Hello everyone!

I wanted to update everyone on my recent hair color change and my thoughts exactly on the Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye.

Background info: My hair is naturally a very very dark brown color (almost black). My hair is quite long and quite thick It has never ever been touched by hair dye before.

Reason: I wanted something new, I always wanted a lighter high color, and I heard so much about the Liese Prettia Bubble dyes.

Let's get down to the hair dye.




"KAO Prettia Soft Bubble Hair Color Glossy Brown is a hair color that bleach your hair into soft glossy brown color. This innovative soft foaming hair color evenly blends into hair for a brilliant result. There is 2 treatments ingredients (amino acid for skin care type and moisture, loyol jelly for moisture). All this treatment will help your hair from further damage and make your hair beautiful and soft gentle bright hair." (Taken from Imomoko.com)

The box includes,

Instruction Sheet
Gloves
#1 Hair Color
#2 Developer
Foamer Cap (To make your hair dye bubble)
Leave in Conditioner

1)First mix #1 into the #2 bottle and then you will turn the bottle upside down and over for 5 times.

2) Afterwards you will take off the cap and put the foamer cap on.

3) You squeeze the product out from the bottle not the cap and you squeeze it into the palm of your hand.

4) You apply it from the top layer and then down.
The reason you do not start from bottom to top is because you'll message the product into your hair just like how you would shampoo your hair.

5)Then just wait 20-30 minutes, shampoo, conditioner your hair, and make sure you apply the leave in conditioner.

However, I did the last steps differently. Since my hair was virgin hair I was unsure if the color would even show up. What I did was after I applied the dye I put a shower cap onto my head. Then heated my hair with a blow dryer. I left the hair dye on for 50 minutes instead.

The hair dye did not foam as much as it said on the box. I have a lot of hair and it is thick. It took quite awhile for the hair dye to full cover my hair.

Let's move onto the results!

BEFORE:

My natural hair color was an almost black like. The darkest shade of brown you could of probably ever seen!

AFTER:

Now, it is a medium brown, still natural looking, but definitely a noticeable difference.

Time for the verdict!

I love the results! The night I dyed my hair I was regretting it. I do actually like my natural hair color, but I wanted a change. I was thinking in my head "What did I just do to my hair!?" However, after a few days I grew found of the new change.

Liese did not damage my hair at all. My hair looks perfectly the same. The same texture and the same shininess.

The one problem I do have with Liese is one box will not be enough to evenly cover your hair if you have thick and long hair like myself. There are some parts that are of a darker brown (more closer to the roots). However, it is not noticeable.

You can see my the results of my hair in my latest makeup tutorial.

A lot more noticeable in natural lighting and outside.

I think I would definetely try using Liese again once, if I decide to re-dye my hair in the future. I am extremely happy with the results and I am glad it is quite natural looking.

I recommend to my readers to try this hair dye out especially if you have virgin hair! Try Glossy Brown if you want a natural change. I believe Royal Brown will not show up that well as Glossy Brown did.

Have you ever tried Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye? If so, what are your thoughts about it? I would love to know!

Happy Reading,
Wenjin <3

No Comments »

As I promised! A Winter Lookbook for 2012-2013. I apologized for the delay.

Outfit 1 - Casual Flare

This outfit was my go to out during my days in LA. It is comfortable and yet extremely cute!

This headband I bought at Artbox, a korean store that sells hair accessories, stationary, and random cute items.

These wedges are extremely comfortable and I have been wearing them non-stop since I received them in December.

Outfit 2 - Vampy Wine
My new favorite glam up outfit especially for the winter. It gives that dark but girly look that fits this season oh so well.

This wine red color is just oh so lovely. I did not think I would love this color so much. It is definitely one of my favorite colors for this season and I usually wear pastels and whites! The fur vest adds a touch a glam to all my outfits!

My most favorite coat ever this season. I always wanted a cape and this is by far the best! The quality is amazing and it keeps me warm during this cold weather. I recommend this cape from Click.

I had these boots for awhile now. I love how edgy they are and yet comfy. I can wear these boots with dresses or skinny jeans.

Outfit 3 - Cat Girl
Did you guys know my favorite animals are cats? I blame the fact that my first pet is a cat (For those who do not know, I have a beautiful black cat named Luna). Apparently all these cat items are in trend!

This cat bowler hat is absolutely adorable, but kind of hard to style. I say it would look best with your hair tied up!

The cat tunic is suppose to be a "dress length," but it is a bit too short for that. However, it would look cute with skinnies, leggings, or even shorts!

These tights just make me giggle. Need I say more?

Winter Fur

No Comments »


Winter one of my favorite seasons of the year! However, in California the winter is a lot more timid in comparison to other states, meaning it is much more "bearable." This year though it has been "extremely" cold (California standards). Luckily the day I filmed this outfit of the day, the sun way shinning, and it was not as cold as it was the past few days.


I absolutely love this new fur vest and the studded tunic! The tunic is extremely soft and it also have such unique details making it interesting to look at. Comfortable and yet stylist, I love doing these types of pairings.

Rosebud Braid + Favorite Beauty Products of 2012

No Comments »

Hello everyone! I am here to update my blog on the newest two videos I have uploaded.

Many people have requested me to do more hair tutorials and as a result, I filmed a very simple hair tutorial that was inspired by korean celebrities. Even though it is quite easy to do it creates an effortless look.

I believe this Rosebud braided hair look will be perfect for any occasion and the loose curls add the perfect romantic touch to the style.



The second video is an all time favorite beauty products video for the 2012 year. I usually do not record favorites videos because I tend to use the same products each month. I actually do not buy a lot of makeup products monthly.

The video will showcase my holy grails in term of makeup and skincare. These products are absolutely my favorites and I will definitely repurchase these items.



Products mention:

Makeup -
Fairy Drop Candy Bar BB Cream - Orche
(This is my all time favorite bb cream, it does not leave a grayish cast, which is a problem that many find with bb creams. As well as it does not contain any spf. I would recommend this bb cream for those who are a bit tanner and have been trying to find a bb cream that would match their warmer undertones. I absolutely love this!)

Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Foundation - 40
Josie Maran Argan Blend Concealer - Suede
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder - Honey
Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner - Black
Lioele Auto Eyebrow - #3 Gray Black
The Face Shop Eyeshadow - WH003 (Glitter)
