Liese Cassis Berry Hair Dye review


I've already tried dying my hair with Liese 3 times. The third time, I used Antique Rose (see review here). The second time, I tried out Sweet Apricot (see review here). The first time I ever tried this simple shampoo-like hair dye, I tried Cassis Berry.

Back then, the collection of Liese hair dyes just came out on the market. It was quite exciting, because not only were the colours so pretty, they used a new technique of bubble hair dyes, where you apply it on your hair and massage it sort of like shampoo. So after looking at the selection, I wanted red hair so I looked at either Sweet Pink or Cassis Berry. I got Cassis Berry because it was a darker shade of red-pink, and I thought it looked nicer.

It was easy to apply, especially since the instructions are there in English. Within an hour or so, you can have a new hair colour all in the comfort of your own home. And you don't need help from anyone else, you can do it all on your own.

Colour-wise, I have to admit I was disappointed. The colour of my hair didn't turn out like the box, it turned out more brown in real life. In photographs, there is a reddish tinge, but in real life it was just brown. Very disappointing.

Like all the other shades, the colour stayed for about a month before I started to see my roots. This is the downside for all Liese hair dyes. Also, the smell of ammonia is very strong, so make sure you open the windows or be in a well-ventilated room before dying your hair. The good thing is that the smell does not stay on your hair. And the hair lotion that comes in the box is also helpful, just apply it while your hair is still damp, and you will have healthy moisturized hair.

So in conclusion, I would not purchase Cassis Berry again, because the colour is not what I had expected. I have read other reviews on this shade, and some of them are very good. Their pictures are also very nice, and it worked well for them. Unfortunately, I think for my hair it didn't work out for me. But I will definitely continue using Liese, as my other experiences are quite positive (you can read them in the links above).

Intro Post

Despite the name, this blog is not about carousels or couture (although you never know, that might change?). Nobody likes to spend money on something, only to discover that it does not deliver what it has promised. I sure don't. So I start this blog with the hopes that perhaps it'll help someone find their holy grail. And maybe, I'll find my own on the way too. Expect to find beauty and skincare reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and current obsessions. Oh, and a little couture here and there too.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review:  I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off.  NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

  Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar
