XXL Live Color for bleach, US version?

I plan on dying my hair lilac & deep purple this summer and it will be my first time bleaching my own hair. I keep reading about Schwarzkopf Live Color Xxl and how you can use that to get your hair light instead of an actual bleach kit. But I live in the US and I can't seem to find that anywhere. Is there a good place to buy it or an alternative US brand that works just as good?
Thanks!  πŸ˜€

Before I started using actual bleach to do my roots, I used a box blonde which, I think, is similar if not the same to XXL Live.  I used Revlon Colorsilk in the lightest blonde the store sold.  It was nice and gentle on my hair.  I would recommend it if you want to stay away from mixing your own bleach.

Just follow the directions and be patient.  If I remember, I had to leave mine in almost the max amount of time the directions said but I have fairly dark brown hair naturally.

Oh cool, I currently use Revlon Colorsilk in Burgundy so I'm familiar with the brand. Thank you very much for the reply! πŸ™‚

I'm not sure but here in Aus the blonde dyes from schwarzkopf are nordic blonde dye kits - I've used them before, they are pretty good. Don't know if it's the same in the US.

No problem.  To be honest, when I get to help people find stuff here (in America), I kind of feel like a super hero.  >.>
