How to color your hair with Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring

It's been 2 years since I last colored my hair. I always have my hair color done in salons because I don't know how to do it myself. This time, I decided to try coloring my hair at home using Etude House's Bubble Hair Coloring in Natural Brown (P378). 

Bubble Hair Coloring in Natural Brown

There are 7 colors for this product: Deep Black, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Wine Red, Sweet Orange, Gold Blonde, and Mocha Pink. My friend recommended this product to me before, and I have wanted to try this out ever since.

I'm trying to cut back on expenses this year, and since I have already purchased this product last year, I decided it was time to give it a spin. The instructions are all in Korean so this tutorial might be helpful for you guys!

Instructions in Korean language

These are the contents of the box:

Contents of the box

1. hair dye color

2. pump container with liquid inside that will make the dye bubble

3. silky perfumed treatment conditioner

4. plastic gloves and plastic wrap with instruction booklet

Step 1: 

Pour the contents of the hair dye into the white container.

Pour hair dye into container

Step 2:

Tilt the container left and right to let the contents mix together. Do not shake it hard.

Tilt container left to right and do not shake

Step 3:

Take off the lock from the bottle, then put on the plastic gloves and start pumping out the foam from the container. 

Remove the bottle's lock

Pump the foam from the container

Step 4:

Start putting the foam onto your hair. Make sure that you get to cover all your hair with the bubbles so that the color will come out evenly.

Step 5:

Put all your hair up and just wait for 30 minutes for the dye to settle in. You will feel an itchy sensation once your hair is covered with foam. Rinse your hair well after 30 minutes  and remove all traces of foam. You will feel that your hair is quite dry afterwards.

Put your hair up and wait for 30 minutes

Step 6:

Wash your hair again with the silky perfumed treatment conditioner on all sides so that your hair will become smooth and silky.

Done! Just blowdry your hair and you're all set to go. I never thought that the process of dyeing hair at home is so easy. I'm definitely doing this again next time but I might try another color.

Before

After

Things to note:

1. Wash your hair first if your hair is oily or dirty then blowdry it afterwards. 

2. It's better to dye your hair while dry. (I dyed my hair wet and it was hard to distinguish which parts were not already covered by foam as my hair was wet to begin with).

3. I dyed my hair twice as I tried dyeing it again when my hair was dry. This was because I didn't find my hair to be brown enough after the first try. (My hair strands are thin so I did not finish the contents of the bottle the first time).

4. Once you combine the hair dye with the liquid in the container, you should use it up immediately or else the mixture won't be as effective.

It's so simple right? Would you be using this product anytime soon or have you tried it already?

Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Primer Stick Review

Big pore problems anyone? I have big pores too, and I'm always on the radar for any product that would help minimize the appearance of big pores. So lo and behold, I have found it, and it's quite affordable too!

It's the Etude House Goodbye Pore Ever Primer Stick!!! I bought this in Korea at 30% off, so it cost me only 5600 won which is equivalent to P230. Here in the Philippines, it is priced at about P425.

So, how does this work? Actually, it's super easy. Just pull off the cap, twist the stick, and just apply the nude colored product to the parts of your face where you have big pores.

The appearance of pores will be instantly minimized. At first, I tried using the tester at the back of my hand, and it really works! I actually was not really solved on this product even after testing it on my hand because as I said, I have big pores on my cheeks. I then decided to try the tester on my face. Not really sure if it worked because I could still see my pores. I did not buy it immediately, but after a few hours, my friend was looking at my face, and she said that my face looked really clear. Wow, so it really is effective after all! I bought the product immediately the next day that we went shopping again.

The finish of this product is matte, which most of you would really like. It's just like Benefit's Porefessional but this Primer Stick is in solid form, while the Porefessional is in liquid form. I have the Porefessional as well, but that's for another review. Etude House actually has this Goodbye Pore Ever product in liquid form also, but the finish is glossy not matte. I did not buy this anymore since I just wanted to pick one only between the two. You can apply makeup after putting on this primer. This product serves as a good makeup base as well. There's also a nice fragrant smell after you apply this, a big plus!

Look at the 2 photos below. It shows how the Goodbye Pore Ever works at the back of my hand. See the part near the curve of my thumb? You can see that the lines are not visible anymore after using the product. There is really a difference!

With Goodbye Pore Ever

Here's a recap of the product:

Pros:

- affordable

- matte finish (really feels smooth on the skin)

- effective
- fragrant smell

- packaging is handy for travel or everyday use

Cons:

- hard to find (easily sold out in stores)

- only 4.5g worth of product

- product is easily consumed when used everyday

Would I repurchase this? Maybe. I like trying out different pore cover products and I might try another one after I finish consuming this product. Maybe I'll repurchase when I go back to Korea and this is on sale again haha.

There you have it! Have any of you tried this product? Would you prefer it in the solid or liquid form? Share your thoughts!
