Prettia (Kao Japan) Bubble Foam Hair Coloring Kit is an innovative D.I.Y hair coloring product that uses foam to dye the hair. Unlike traditional hair color kit, it turns the coloring agents into bubbles!! Hair colorings are now as simple as like washing hairs. Thanks to this super easy & convenient hair coloring mechanism.
It contains the extracts of Amino and Royal Jelly to minimize the dyeing damage and restore the hair.
The dye chemicals can transform into foam to blend into hair evenly and effectively. The formula does not have an unpleasant or pungent smell. The finish looks smoothly shiny and the hair does not feel dry or damaged.

Price:
Not available locally but may be bought from various local online resellers (usually pre-order) but they sometimes have on hand stocks of selected colors
STEP 1: ADD CONTENTS OF COLOR #1 BOTTLE TO COLOR #2 BOTTLE. SEAL BOTTLE TIGHTLY WITH WHITE CAP.
STEP 3: TURN BOTTLE UPSIDE DOWN A COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL WELL MIXED. IMPORTANT: DO NOT SHAKE BOTTLE!
STEP 4: REPLACE WHITE BOTTLE CAP WITH THE PINK FOAMER CAP.
STEP 5: WEAR GLOVES. SQUEEZE BOTTLE TO RELEASE FOAM ON THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS. DO NOT APPLY FOAM DIRECTLY ON YOUR HAIR.
STEP 6: APPLY FOAM ON HAIR AND GENTLY LATHER LIKE YOU WOULD DO WHEN SHAMPOOING. MAKE SURE FOAM IS EVENLY APPLIED ON YOUR ENTIRE HAIR. LEAVE ON FOR 20-30 MINS. FOR VIRGIN BLACK HAIR YOU MAY NEED TO LEAVE THIS A BIT LONGER TO GET DESIRED COLOR.
STEP 7: RINSE HAIR THOROUGHLY. USE AFTER COLOR MOISTURIZER TO COAT HAIR. SOME SAY ITS OK NOT TO RINSE HAIR AFTER APPLYING THE MOISTURIZER. I RINSED MY HAIR AFTER LEAVING ON THE MOISTURIZER FOR 5 MINS.
Results
NOTE: I TOOK LOADS OF PICTURES OF MY HAIR AFTER APPLICATION AND FOUND THAT MY HAIR SHOWED DIFFERENT COLORS UNDER DIFFERENT LIGHTINGS. IN ONE PHOTO MY HAIR WAS RED, IN ANOTHER PHOTO IT WAS VERY LIGHT, ALMOST BLONDISH, IN ANOTHER PHOTO IT LOOKED ORANGE. WEIRD RIGHT? THE PHOTOS ABOVE WERE CHOSEN BECAUSE THEY WERE THE COLOR THAT CLOSELY MATCHED MY ACTUAL HAIR COLOR.
I NOTICED THAT MY HAIR FINALLY ACHIEVED ITS "REAL COLOR" 1 WEEK AFTER APPLICATION - NO MORE ORANGE AND RED TINT. THE COLOR ALSO EVENED OUT.
***
The Good
- It's foam so its very easy to use (unlike the traditional paste like substance of most hair coloring products). It's just like shampooing your hair.
- does not itch. it stung a little bit when i first put it on though, but the sting very quickly disappeared.
- does not stain. this is one of the very good points of Prettia. unlike the traditional hair coloring products in the market where you need to be very careful when applying because it might stain your nape, your clothes, etc. with Prettia, you do need not worry at all!
- no strong chemical smell
- no allergic reactions for me (for those with sensitive skin, it's best to do a skin test first)
- my hair's about 4 inches past my shoulders and i did not get to finish the entire bottle. i was even able to color hubby's hair with it!
Hubby has very dark black hair color so the effect on him was very subtle compared to mine. but it definitely lightened his hair color.
The Bad
- not available locally but is available for pre-order on local online sellers. sometimes you may be lucky and find on hand stocks of the shade you want
My Tips
- if you want even colored hair, make sure you cover every single hair strand with the foam. it may be best to section your hair and apply it layer by layer to ensure product is applied evenly, then lather it up as you would do when shampooing. i did not do this when i did my hair. just this morning, hubby noticed there were darker patches on my innermost hair (probably parts where i was not able to apply as much product as i did with the other parts) - it may be best to choose a color 1 shade lighter than your desired color (especially if you have virgin black hair) and leave it on longer than 30 mins
Final Verdict
A+
I love this product and i can't wait to try out other colors. i'm eyeing on Platinum Beige (from the Ash Brown series) next.
A brush-on gel that strokes brows into shape. Adds shine and style. No flaking or stiffening. Tinted or clear. Also grooms lashes, sideburns and facial hair.
Shades:
Clear, Girl Boy (Fawn Blonde, Beguille (Full-bodied Taupe), Show Off (Rich Brown)
MY BARE EYEBROWS I have very sparse eyebrows so i have to do a whole lot of filling in to make them look thicker and more defined.

MAC BROW SET IN BEGUILLE &

***
For the longest time, i have always used my trusted In2It Eyebrow Powder to groom my eyebrows. They worked fine, but they did not do a very good job of making my eyebrows stay in place and with my oily skin plus sweat, i notice that the powder tends to fade by the end of the day. Sometimes, i even end up with very unnatural and harsh looking brows.
This was recommended to me by a friend who has this in Girl Boy. So how did this fair? Read on.
The Good
- Gives you natural looking thicker and fuller brows
- keeps my eyebrows in place all day
- doesn't flake
- lightens my eyebrow so they don't look too harsh and unnatural. if you have very black eyebrows, this would help lighten it up and give you a more softened look or to match your dyed/lightened hair.
- has micro shimmers but is barely noticeable unless you look really closely to the eyebrows
- dries within minutes
The Bad
- the spoolie tends to pick up a lot of product when you pull it out, so make sure to remove any excess before applying on your brows. i made this mistake once and my brows made me look like a witch!
- the smell is terrible. i swear it stinks. i have very sensitive nose so the smell is magnified like 10X! i don't know how to describe the scent, it smells "chemicalish", if their's such a word. i got a headache the first time i used this because of the smell. i have gotten quite used to with the smell now so it's not really that terrible anymore. but i still find myself holding my breathe sometimes when i'm applying this.
My Tips
- take care not to use too much product on your brows (the spoolie picks a lot)
- what i do first is i shape my eyebrows by tracing the edges with In2It Eyebrow Powder (the middle shade). this would serve as my drawing guide.
- i then fill in my brows with In2It Eyebrow Powder (the lightest shade) to lightly fill in my brows
- then i apply MAC Brow Set to set my brows in place and to fill in whatever patches not covered by In2It
- i personally do not use the spoolie that it comes with to apply the product. i find that using a brush comb instead makes it easier for me to apply the product and groom and shape my brows.
their unconventional brush comb. reaches out to even the tiniest hair in my lashes
How to Use
Lash Expander is a fiber-based mascara (similar to the popular Fiberwig) that uses a 2-way brush for maximum impact. First, use the coil side to apply the mascara to your lashes, starting at the roots for an eyeliner effect. Next, use the comb side of the brush to separate and define, leaving your lashes looking longer, without the "spider" look. Waterproof formula is strong against sweat, oil, and tears, but easily removed with oil-based makeup remover.
An intense, velvety black mascara that plumps up lashes while creating sky-high length. The unique brush-comb applicator lengthens lashes as it enhances volume for a dark and heavy fringe that brings out the natural beauty of your eyes. The waterproof formula stays on all day and night long, not budging from your lashes even in humid weather. By Shiseido.

Swatches
*
I have for a long time, given up on mascara. i have probably the sparsest, the straightest, and shortest lashes in the world and no mascara (i've tried quite a few), ever worked on me. i have always been on the constant search for the mascara that would lengthen and hold my curls. i've read rave reviews of this mascara on GT and finally decided to give it a try. and guess what? for the first time, i have finally found a mascara that works! i'm so happy i was jumping up and down the first time i tried these on. no kidding. this is definitely HG material!
The Good
- this mascara lengthens like crazy! i sooo looove it! some people even asked if i was wearing false lashes.
- holds curls for really looooooong time. i have very straight lashes so finding a mascara that holds my curls for more than 30 mins is a feat. this holds my curls for more than 5 hours!
- does not clump at all
- waterproof. i've tried swimming with these on and they didn't smudge!
- i love the unconventional brush comb. it reaches even the tiniest hair on my lashes
- the two sided brush really does work
- did not weight down my lashes
- the elegant black and gold packaging is love! it beats even the high end mascaras.
The Bad
- difficult to remove. a pain actually. i'm still on the lookout for the best formula to easily remove this.
Final Verdict
A+++++++
thank God for this mascara! i cannot stop raving about this and would definitely recommend this to ladies, who like me, have sparse, short and straight lashes. this will be your best friend!
