REVIEW: Garnier Belle Colour 51 Medium Brown

London Drugs was having a sale on these for $3.99
so i decided to pick up a Garnier Belle Color in #50 Medium Brown

my roots and faded red has been bothering me a lot lately :/

and i didn't feel like fixing the roots or going lighter
and i didn't want to dye my hair black (lol not doing that again >_>;)
so i settled with this colour

i really like this brand/line for their dark browns,

they are unbelievably consistent and dark.

however this one was a meh for me.
unlike the previous brown dyes it didn't cover the odd red/orange tint in my hair

which was kinda what i was hoping to do -  -;
i guess from afar you could say it has a slight ash tone to it.. but if you carefully look
there are red bits / strands that stand out

i probably will not purchase this particular colour again,

just because i don't like the end colour and the uneven coverage.

if you're looking for a dark colour that goes even and gives a more ashy tone,

this is NOT for you.. try the #51

REVIEW: GARNIER NUTRISSE CREAM in 564 Intense Medium Red Copper

kay if you're looking for a wine red type of colour this is for you.

it does go on black hair (not dyed dark hair) and it looks FAH BUU LUSSS.

if compared to other hair dyes this does give pretty even coverage imo.

lol it smells really strong though, heads up here.

I DO RECOMMEND YOU WEAR SOMETHING ON TOP CAUSE THIS GETS MESSY

LOL. unless you like bright neon orange/red on your shirt or w.e you go do that.

i was shocked by how ORANGE the dye looked...

didn't even look anything close to that colour...

it was scarier when i was rinsing it out cause it looked like a pool of blood.

=  =

if you are looking for a vibrant red this isn't for you.

i like this because i have different tones of hair some lighter and some dark,

so this makes it look like i have different wine red highlights.

it's gotten my roots pretty well and yuh :]

it was about $6 CAD for me so pretty cheap.

Review: Garnier Belle Color 51 Medium Ash Brown

My roots were growing out and the reddish colour I dyed my hair last time was fading.

so i was contemplating whether to go lighter or darker...

in the end i decided to go darker just because i don't want to look too out there.

I usually choose drugstore brands when i want to go darker,

and then i would choose japanese brands if i want to go lighter and have evenly dyed hair.

i probably will not dye my hair again for another 3-4 months.

okay i really hate the smell of this hair dye in particular,

but their darker tones are really good and last a while.

i didn't leave it as long as i usually would,

which would be 40min - 50min.

cause of the time crunch and i get really bored waiting LOL.

impatience is a flaw.

it covered pretty well, my roots blend in with the dyed part pretty well.

when i finished dying it, i thought it looked a lot darker than i expected,

this morning when i looked at it again, i think it looks fine,

a dark ash brown colour.

overall this is a pretty good hair dye and comes out quite even.
