Product Review: L'Oréal Casting Crème Gloss Sunkiss Jelly
By SugarPlumPosts - 14:04
If
you read my post about ombré hair (HERE) you will remember me saying
that although I am happy with my lightened ends I would love to go
lighter on the top of my head too (or all over if I was brave
enough...) So, after reading many praising reviews I decided to try
the L'Oréal Casting Crème Gloss Sunkiss Jelly in shade No.2 for
dark blonde to light blonde hair (find HERE).
Now
this is supposed to only be used on natural hair and so I was
concentrating the product on the top part of my head which has not
been dyed. I obviously did bring some of it down onto my bleached
ends but it seems to be fine. The product smells OK, I wouldn't say
it smells really good but for a lightening product the smell is
definitely not offensive. What you do is either put the product on
your whole head, or just on the ends for an ombré effect, and either
blow dry the hair until it is dry or sit out in the sun with the
product on. You can leave the product in and there is no need to wash
it out. As it is still cold outside, I used a hair-dryer. My hair
would look and feel really crispy and the product was really visible
on my head which didn't look great. Therefore, I would do this on a
day where I didn't have to be anywhere, leave it on all day, then
wash it out in the evening. I bought two tubes of the product and
applied it 7 times every other day or so.
The
result? My hair is lighter... I think... but not as light as I would
like it. I understand that as a gradual lightening product it is only
supposed to be subtle but I think if I were to continue to keep using
it, it would rack up quite a price. As a one off subtle lightener it
is a cheap option for anyone that has natural hair and wants to
change their colour but not dramatically. Also, as I have more of a
gingery/strawberry blonde than a dark blonde/blonde I found that it
did bring out more of my warmer reddy tones than blonde which is not
quite the result I wanted but it was expected. On a whole, for the
cheap price (£5.99) and the easy, not too messy application it was definitely
worth a try and I have read a load of reviews which say it worked
wonders for them :)

I
recently purchased L'Oréal Recital Preference Light Beige Blond 9.13
hair dye (not sure what came over me and possessed me to buy it as I
have no intention of dying all my head...) so I was thinking about
MAYBE using it to spruce up the blonde colour of my ends..?! Not even
sure if it will work but worth a shot! Haha! The colour on the box (HERE)
looks soooo lovely and I wish I was brave enough (and had the money
for upkeep) to have my full head blonde! Maybe one day...
What
lightening products have you tried if at all?

Thankyou! I found it very hard to find reviews on this product before I first used it, so thought I would write a review myself. Glad you found it useful :)
