i can't believe i wrote this down before i even wrote my last liese hair bubble color. well, considering that i didn't like the last one and it wasn't available outside japan anyway, let's forget about that one. i might wrote about that later, if i had the will. anyway, i've been eyeing mise en scene for awhile, but i was confused as i couldn't find their color chart (at first), so i can't predict which one is lighter, which one is darker. and watching several youtube videos, i got even more confused as some people had dark hair but the color did nothing to them, but then, other people also had dark virgin hair, and the color showed up on them without using the primer/ bleach. oh well, i actually had 3 colors in mind to try, the famous khaki and dusty aside from metallic ash. but at the end, i bought metallic ash and dusty ash. i tried the metallic ash one first as this one caught my eyes more. let's see how it goes.

| the box |
the packaging: it comes in white box with the picture of one of Blackpink's member. Each box got a different member, according to the shade. for the metallic ash, it was Jisoo. at the top, you could see how the shade should look like and at the sides of the box, there are descriptions and color predictions on dark or light hair, the before and after picture. inside the box, there are one bottle and three sachets with numbers on it. there's a packet of plastic with leaflet, plastic gloves and plastic cape inside it. the leaflet is written in korean, but there are lots of reviews in the internet already, so you can find one easily to understand the instruction.

the color: when i bought it, i had no idea how bright it would be since i haven't found the color chart yet. but, when i saw watson website, i found out that metallic ash is quite bright. on their scale is about 6-7. but they suggested to use it on bleached hair. i don't like bleaching my hair, but i've dyed my hair couple times before, so the result will be on dyed hair (yep, this is my first time dying my hair again even before the root shows up. that's how bad i hate my previous color). fyi, on bleached hair, the purple/pink will showed up even more.

the product: just like other bubble hair color, you have to mix all the sachets (aside from the color treatment, which has different sachet color) to the solution in the big bottle then swirl it around for about 20 times or so. don't shake it. then you put the pump head and start dying your hair. here's when i got confused. so far, when i dyed my hair, i washed my hair first then dyed it on the next day. but when i saw some reviews, some people recommended using it when your hair started to get oily. for me, that suggestion was weird, since my last hair color wasn't shown up clearly because i forgot and put hair oil treatment before i blowed my hair. hence, even though i've washed my hair, it's coated with oil and the color couldn't show up. so, this time, i still wash my hair and dye it on the next day. so my hair is still clean. another controversy: how to apply the bubble to your hair. some applied to lower half first for the first 10 minutes and then on the root to the middle for the rest of the time. but if you had dyed your hair, then they will dyed from the root to the end the whole time. as for me, i dyed it as usual, the whole length per area. i put it on for about 30 minutes. i used almost the whole bottle since i didn't know how bright it would be. for shoulder length, you can get away with just 3/4 of it. for longer hair, maybe you'll even need two bottles. oh i forgot to mention the scent. this one totally doesn't have signature hair dye scent. but for me, the scent is too fragrant. and the scent still lingers even after i wash it off.

the result: i have to say that it looks like reddish brown on me. especially under the sunlight and after a few washes, it appears lighter. i do like the color, though i was hoping i can see the purple hint. but no. i think you can only see the purple/pink hint if you bleached your hair.

overall, i am satisfied with this one. though their color selections are way brighter than liese, but at least this one doesn't look weird on me. i do like this color so much that i started to think maybe i should try bleaching my hair with their primer. we'll see though.. price wise, it's as affordable as liese but here, it's easier to get them from marketplace rather than liese. so i'll probably purchase this one for now.
