Casting Creme Gloss

Advantages: Lovely hair colour, shimmery, smooth. Conditioning.
Disadvantages: Application is a little annoying, price.

...-permanent line of L'Oreal casting crème as I only ever dye my hair semi-permanently as I am too scared of something going wrong and me hating my hair forever. As my hair is so long (it would take probably 5 years to grow the colour out! Eeek!) since Ciao doesn't have a separate product for semi and permanent this is why my review is in this category. Please don't mistake it for permanent, in fact, I'm not even sure you can get excellence crème in permanent; you'll have to do some snooping! I bought this product at boots and it's normally £6.98, which I think is a little pricey for a semi-permanent hair colour but it was a pound of so I got it for £5.98. To be honest, I think it's still worth the money and I will go into why in a while. -What does it promise to deliver? / Does it meet these promises? - L'Oreal casting crème promises to its...

Review of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

On the casting couch...

Advantages: cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: can be messy!

...'m also not sure why I decided to use Loreal Casting to do so, but I did, and I'm really glad of it. This was the first brand of dye that I used, and I was really pleased with the results. I have since tried other brands - Garnier Nutrisse and I think one by Wella - but I've always came back to this brand, as I find it's the easiest to use and gives the best and longest lasting results. ~~About the dye~~ This hair dye is a tone on tone gel colourant and contains no ammonia. It promises to give Natural looking colour and ultra-shiny highlights. This will cover first greys The box states that this will last up to 6 weeks with no visible roots, but I have found it to last something nearer to 10 weeks. ~~Packaging and contents~~ This comes in a pink box which is very similar to the one pictured, although I believe the one shown...

THE REAL IRON BREW

Advantages: Effects are quick to work
Disadvantages: tastes awful

...It's often the case isn't it, it's only when you are at your lowest and at the stage of physically dropping that you seek any nutritional help. This was certainly the scenario I experienced, whilst three months pregnant I felt as if I literally could not clamber out of bed in the morning, absolutely zero energy and in fact felt like "a shadow" instead of a physical being ... Rewind back to when I first started feeling like this, and I ventured to my GP to see what they could offer me. In the past I have had trouble with anaemia and so fully expected to be prescibed some form of iron. So, I was rather surprised when I left the surgery with no sign of a prescription whatsover. The advice given was along the lines of "feeling like this is a normal occurence during pregnancy, just one of those things .." This point of view infuriates...

Casting Creme Gloss

Advantages: Easy to use, covers grey and dodgy highlights, lasting effect
Disadvantages: Sensitive scalps take care

...At nearly six pounds, this isn't the cheapest hair dye out there but it's incredibly easy to use and virtually mess-free. Also, it works. After a disasterous highlighting adventure, i used Casting Creme Gloss in Mahogany to cover up the damage. I have used this product (same colour) in the past, and it covers greys perfectly. I was impressed with the way it also covered up my unwanted highlights. They still show through a little bit, but more as tasteful lowlights as opposed to the brassy orange streaks i had before. Casting Creme Gloss is easy to use. You basically mix two bottles together and shake. The manufacturers have even made a handy slit in the box so that you can wedge your bottle of mixture in it and it will stand upright. Now, that's really thoughtful! The mahogany shade came out on my medium-dark brown...

Review of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

Ready for the casting couch!

Advantages: Very easy to apply, clear instructions
Disadvantages: Slightly deceptive colour chart

...home with. Obviously, as I am reviewing L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss, this was my final choice. But why? Firstly, brand recognition. I use a lot of L'Oreal hair care and make up products, and I would have to admit that it is one of my preferred brands. The pictures on the packaging were very believable, unlike other boxes which, to be honest, looked very cheap and didn't do much justice to their product. The L'Oreal packaging was shiny and glossy, and made of a thick, quality card. As I previously mentioned, what appealed was the photograph of the hair colour displayed - to me it appeared natural, and not as though it had been simply painted there with a computer. The idea of a cream caught my attention, as it lead me to belive that the application would be more even. The colour chart on the outside showed a not too dramatic...

Iron out your problems

Advantages: High quality herbal and fruit supplement
Disadvantages: Short storage life once opened

...Following a recent bout of flu my mother-in-law recommended that I bought a bottle of Floradix to help combat the extreme tiredness that I was feeling. Every movement was an effort and I was feeling as though I had done ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer! I had lost all my appetite and as a consequence had survived on very little sustenance no wonder my body was complaining. I found that it helped me ?get back on my feet? again and was a very useful aid to my recovery. What is it? Floradix is a food supplement which supplies the goodness needed by the body to sustain fitness and health. It is bought in liquid form. It is made from numerous herbs, fruits, vitamins, yeast, ocean kelp and organic iron. Vitamins C, B6, B12, Thiamin and Riboflavin are a part of the supplement and each providing a part of the recommended daily...

Cast Fantast ic

Advantages: Smell, ease-of-use, colours, glossy finish
Disadvantages: none

...I've always and will always use this product. The incredibly glossy and professional finish along with the amazing smell and ease of use have ensured that I have only ever been tempted by the pull of clever marketing campaigns for new brands once. Once and only once; I retured to the fold very quickly, not finding the same value for money or most importantly results. No other colourant that I've tried can offer the same results or benefits than Castings. Once more and yet very significantly, a hairdresser friend of mine recently told me that this is 'the' only product that he recommends to his clients and even uses it on his partner. This is one gal who certainly won't go a changin'....

* Go Pots over Noodles *

Advantages: Tasty , Quick , Filling
Disadvantages: Had a Couple of 'eww!' ones!

...I have always loved pot noodles , ever since my sister got me into them when I was about ten years old. I always went for the Chicken and Mushroom flavoured ones. Well , to be honest that's the only one I've tried really ; apart from when the Chicken and Mushroom flavour was out-of-stock at my local convenience shop and so had to go with the 'blue one' as I called it ( the sweet and sour flavoured one (I think anyway - I didn't like that one!). It wasn't until recently that I became hooked on pot noodles again. I had gone off them a couple of years ago after having a couple which weren't very tasty and tasted oddly compared to the usual taste. However when at the supermarket a couple of weeks back I noticed that the 'noodles' were on offer and so threw a couple into the trolley forgetting that I had gone off them! On the pot , it...
