You can find a lot of different opinions about this product online. Good and bad ones. And honestly all facts I read up on are accurate. The only thing you have to decide is how important the individual facts are to you.
I used the Burgundy20 color three times so far and I really like it.
I usually don't really post selfies but for the sake of visualization I dug deep into my phone archive to find some pictures I usually only send to my best friend.

Here are my four key points:
1. It's really easy to use.
Unless you're trying some complicated technique, the color is easy to use. It comes ready in a tube and you can just smear it into your clean hair. Make sure you do it evenly though!
Tip: If you stain any skin or surfaces, nail polish can help you out!
2. The color is super vibrant.
I usually use the color when my regular color starts growing out. My hair is multiple shades of brown with some really light blond highlights. This provides a great base for the product because you'll get all kinds of different colors. And it's going to look like it was done by a professional.

The final result will have all different shades from red to purple. I never get more compliments for my hair than with this color. I actually had people on the streets stop me to tell me how much they love my hair color. And I always like to point out that it's my brothers favorite color on me.

3. It can take a while to wash out.
For the first few washes, there will constantly be a stream of colored water in the shower. To make it last longer use color protection shampoo. The color can stay in for a very long time this way. After a couple of weeks the vibrant color will change into pastel (I don't have a photo for this). But since I had some colder colors in my hair this time, it looked a little metallic.
4. The hair turns green or blue later.
This is one of the facts most people don't like about the product. I experienced the color change as well. My hair randomly started to change into different colors.
The last two times I tried the color it was turquoise or green. This time it went to blue first and later to turquoise.

Since I intentionally colored my hair teal before I didn't mind the extra color in my hair. It even became a running gag in my office that my hair changed it's color depending on my mood.
And since I usually use the color before I go back to my professional hairstylist, I don't mind having colorful hair for a while. But that's just me. My stylist get's the color out later (although this time around she had a harder time getting rid off the turquoise and I think I can still see it shine through a little).
On that note. I never tried out the reset shampoo, so I can't say if that would take out the color.
In conclusion
If you like trying out fun colors with your hair and don't mind your hair doing it's own thing afterwards, I would definitely recommend to try this out. I will keep using it for sure.
