I trialed the Chocolate Brown L'Oreal Casting Creme Glass Semi-Permanent 415 Iced Chocolate hair colour. I liked how the consistency was the right thickness, to be able to apply smoothly but not drip. It was just the right amount for my hair (my hair is really long, but thin) It claims to last 28washes. I have washed my hair approx 12times since applying and it is still going strong and the same colour, no fading yet. It had a pleasant smell and didn't give me a headache like some dyes can do with their strong smelling chemicals. Priced at $18.99 I think that is a good price and affordable for the quality of the product. Packing was good. Easy to access. I found the gloves inside the pack for applying dye a little tight to get on, but once on they were good (I have small hands) Processing time was faster then most hair dyes I have previously used which I appreciate as I have two young kids to look after and being able to get it done faster is great. The conditioner that came inside the box was great! Most dyes give you a tiny conditioner sample and it is just enough for one wash. This one was enough for two washes, maybe three if you had short hair and smelled lovely. Made my hair feel really soft. I would recommend it do a friend as I found the colour lovely and refreshing and has so far done what it claims to on its box. Thanks Beauty Review for the opportunity to trial it =)

Excited to receive the product as I was ready to colour my hair again. Loved that it had no ammonia that was a great plus as I hate the smell and the 'delicate fragrance' was nice. I found the product easy to use and as I have quite long thick hair was pleasantly surprised that there was enough product to complete my whole head of hair. The final result was good and my hair looked lovely and shiny the way it should. The instructions were a bit distracting with the other language and the way it was set out but not too big a problem. I would use the product again and recommend it, good experience with it.
I usually dye my hair with supermarket hairdyes which are quite messy and drip everywhere. After using the L'oreal casting creme gloss i wont be using anything else this is amazing so easy to mix, no mess and great even coverage especially if you are like me and have grey hairs. My hair is shoulder length and i had more than enough creme left. My hair feels and looks great and it smells great too. L'oreal casting creme amazing product.
Tips: Put moisturiser on your forehead behind your ears and back of your neck to help wash off any excess dye.
I really like this product L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss. I tend to have a slightly sensitive scalp so I am really pleased when I find something that doesn't irritate me and does what it says!
The packaging works well, shows pictures of the hair colour, reads well. Inside are a pair of gloves, the colour mixture and conditioner for afterwards. I would also suggest having a rubbish bag ready for afterwards, old dark clothes as you don't want any stains. Easy to follow instructions, mean that applying colour is easy, and there is a lot of mixture so unless you have really really long hair its unlikely you will run out of mixture. I also have a roll of glad wrap handy and wrap up my hair once applied so I don't drip dye everywhere as it stains!!! The dye smells quite pleasant, not overly chemically. it does look really dark while on your hair before you wash it out, but don't worry it'll be fine. Rub off any dye that has landed on skin as soon as you spot them or they will be there awhile! After 20 minutes, wash the dye out in the shower until water runs clear then apply the conditioner. My hair was so very soft afterwards I didn't realise how much it needed a conditioning treatment.
Final results - the colour is a bit darker than the picture shows, but has a nice dark chocolate sheen in the sunshine. Hair is really soft and conditioned. My few white hairs are now a lovely dark chocolate. Perfect!
Tips: Be vigilant for any accidental dye spots on your skin or any on the basin/bathroom area, and rub them out immediately with water or they will stain!
I was lucky enough to be chosen for the trial of this. I opened the box found a lovely big container of conditioner which great coz there is never enough in other brands. Next I opened the gloves, great fit. I hate getting big gloves, you can't do a good job with big gloves. I mixed everything up, nice smelling. Not horrible like most. Goes on well and easy. Nice vibrant colour, beautiful and soft afterwards. I've always had good results with at home hair dye kits and this isn't any different, would recommend even just because it doesn't stink the house out. I can't wait to see how the colour lasts over the next few weeks
This product was quite pleasant to test as I enjoyed the smell of my hair (after rinsing) for 3 days. As I have short hair I need to wash it every day so I dont ever get a long lasting colour and this time was the same. I always colour my hair at home so the process is pretty standard and I was pleased with my chosen shade (praline). I may have superhuman greys though (just a few) because they came back pretty quickly. In terms of products though I would buy this as its a trusted brand, works well and the 'no ammonia' greatly appeals to me
Tips: If you have longer hair and can wash it every 2nd day it will last a lot longer.
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
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
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
Tips: to get the true colour in some cases if the base colour is too dark you must pre lighten to a pale yellow prior to applying the casting creme
Apart from the packet being broken when I received it the goods were not damaged.I found it to be really easy to it.I would use it again. The colour that I picked was Caramel which was just about my real colour, the package was not all box so its was good for the value. Since I put the dye in I have been told that I look 10 years younger.
Tips: I would tell my friends, plus I took a pic before and after of myself and put it on facebook to see what people thought about the colour
