L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss Review

I was picked for the L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss trial.

I choose Black Currant.

Firstly I love the packaging, it's eye catching and a fun shaped box.

When I first opened up the box , there was a pleasant fruity scent coming through.

I must say the gloves were very fitting and I have long skinny fingers and bony hands and I was a little taken back by how small they were. These gloves wouldn't be suitable for someone with larger hands.

The mixing of the colour and the developer was easy.

Great bottle! Easy to handle. And very easy to mix the two together.

I was surprised at how much product came out of the bottle I was almost able to spread through all my hair and I have long hair.

It did not stink , it did not burn or itch or annoy me.

I love the fruity scent.

It washed off my skin with ease, however did run in the shower ALOT.

The Conditioner was amazing , very thick and creamy, it drenched my hair in moisture, I was surprised at that. Yummy scent.

After towel drying my hair , my hair is soft, shiny and not at all looking like I just coloured it!!

I will reuse again! I really liked the formula, scent and performance.

Also..it does covers greys exceptionally well!!

**thought I'd update it's now the 9th Feb, the colour is still strong in my hair, I have an inch of regrowth and still the same colour. So there you go :)

This had good informative instructions on how to apply the product. The treatment conditioner for after was very generously sized for more than one application. The gloves that were supplied were very small - hard to get on your hand (my hands are normal sized). The product also had a great smell and was easy to use. I love the end result of the colour I chose

I left this review a little late as I wanted to make sure I gave the dye a fair shot and could see how it performed over a long period. As soon as I unboxed the dye, I was sold. The packaging is not like any dye I've used before. It's incredibly well thought out and easy to use. The bottle is designed in such a way that you can squeeze every last bit of dye out - not being able to use all the dye is a problem I have had with other at home kits. Because of the squeeze tube shape, you can't sit the bottle on its base like standard dye bottles; but they do have a fix for this - the box has a pre-cut hole in the side that simply push in to create a little bottle holder. Super handy for mixing the dye and sitting the bottle in during application. The applicator tip was also great for parting hair. Now, onto the actual product... The first thing I noticed was how the formula looked in the bottle. I had the colour dark brown and it mixed to a lovely smooth chocolate colour in the bottle. But my favourite feature would have to be the smell - the no ammonia is a god send and the reason I rate this so highly. I am particularly sensitive to the strong smell of dye and sometimes find I get an itchy head during application. Not with this product! It smelt fruity and was just like wearing a hair mask. It developed nicely and washed out easily, although it did leave some stubborn marks on my white shower which I found harder to get out than usual. After my hair dried I was really impressed with the colour. I am a natural blonde but I have been home dying my hair dark brown for about 10 years now. I find that if I put dark brown over a previous application it can end up looking incredibly dark and almost black which I do not like. I was apprehensive about using this dye so close to my last treatment but I was really happy with the results. It didn't make the colour darker and the reddish/brown tones look great in natural light. I try to spend around $12 when I buy my bottle dye, but after my experience this dye will be my go to. Although priced slightly higher than most home dyes, this product is definitely worth it.

I have been using permanent hair dye's for the past several years so this was my first time using a semi permanent in some time. So far I am impressed and have found the dye to last my washes - I probably wash my hair more than I should but have very thick hair that needs regular washing to avoid dryness. The hair dye comes with a very generous sized conditioner sample which has a lovely scent that I enjoyed and got 3 applications from. I was also impressed with the fit of the gloves, they were not oversized like most others I've used in the past. One thing that really stood out for my was the pleasant smell of the hair dye as its not so strong smelling like others which I noticed did not irritate my scalp like hairdyes usually do. The coverage was great and my overall impresion was very positive. So good I'll be purchasing this one next time I need to do another Dye.

I have this problem with all supermarket or pharmacy brought hair dyes so please don't take my review alone as law.

I found it didn't colour my hair as well as it should even after following the before instructions.

The consistency is nice in comparision to alternative brands and it doesn't have the foul smell that others have either which was a nice change.

The packaging is nice to look at and if buying on packGing alone I would choose this by far.

I have rather sensitive skin and this didn't seem to react badly. Another bonus!

The gloves are not the nicest gloves to try and work with to be honest.

All in all it's a good product and I would recommend to try this over the ammonia based ones if your hair allows you to dye it from such packets.

This was a pleasant hair dying experience :)

I've never used a temporary colour before, but after using this one, it's definitely going to be my go-to colour from now on! Not only did the colour come out to almost the same shade on the box, but it smelt nice and was not too over powering. The bigger size conditioner bottle was good too, and the conditioner lasted me at least 5 washes. I've had this colour in my hair for about 2 weeks now, and I have to wash my hair every second day so it doesn't look so limp, and the colour has faded a little, although it doesn't wash out so much that you can see the colour running down the drain, which is always disheartening. The conditioner does what it says it will, it gives my hair an amazing glossy shine, one that any other conditioner I've used doesn't do, and that's a bonus in my book. Certainly a colour i will recommend to family and friends from now on.

From reading the instructions to putting the dye in my hair it was a fairly easy process. The colour came out quite dark but after a few washes is a nice dark brown. I found it took a few washes and leavingin leave in condiniter for it to feel nice again. It was feeling like straw. Would use again.

Great product easy to apply, left my hair shiny soft and manageable the conditioner that was included is very nourishing.I would definitely recommend the product

I had high expectations for this and I was disappointed. The colour used (Dark Blonde) came out darker than I expected and compared to other brands I have used previously but the colour has begun to fade. It did leave my hair soft and shiny which was a positive. Instructions were easy to follow and application was very straight forward with no fuss to clean up afterwards

I was lucky enough to try this product out and give it a go! The color I had picked was Blackcurrant (Deep Red). My hair is already a deepish red from another box dye I have been using and using this one on top made it look fresh and gave it a nice healthy boost.

The dye it self was easy to set up and use and when applying it I had no issues with dye leaking or getting to much out of the bottle (as I have had this issue before with other box dyes). The dye dose not have too much of a strong scent which is great, But like any chemicals don't get it too close to your eyes or nose.

The Creme gloss comes with a lovely conditioner to use to wash out the dye, the dye and the conditioner makes your feels super soft and has an amazing shine once dried. The smell is divine and last for about 2-3 days.

The dye its self made my hair color turn a nice deep red color and has held on nicely to my hair with out too much fading
