So as we all know, going for regular salon visits to keep your hair colour on point is really time-consuming, not to mention it'll burn a huge hole in your wallet. (& that can really hurt especially if you have a pretty wallet like I do)

Yeap, thats it! My first ever wallet from #KateSpade

 Pretty don't you think? I'm honestly the luckiest girl in the world. 

So thankful to have a boyfriend who pampers me all the time and has good taste.

Anyway back to the point of this post. 

I don't really like going to salons because I feel like they screw up the colour I want ALOT, therefore I turn to boxed hair dyes. They're not that bad actually, in fact I prefer it over salons.

Schwarzkopf Brilliance Luminance Hair Dye (Red Passion)

These ones from Schwarzkopf are actually for those with dark hair, which is perfect for my really dark asian hair.

This is actually their new formula because they've added in a capsule filled with Diamond Gloss Serum that apparently helps to provide a much more vibrant colour. 

I got this for about $12.99 I think? And my hair is at that length where it's not exactly medium but not long as well, so just to be sure, I got two boxes.

This is what you'll find when you open the box:

1. Tube of colour cream

2. Bottle of developer

3. Tube of conditioner

4. Gloves (which I've left out. I don't use them, ever cause it never fits me)

I already have a hair-dye(ing) kit with me which includes the mixing bowl and a brush. It's not necessary but I just think it's easier than using the bottle.

So first, I emptied the developer into the mixing bowl.
