Product Review-L'OREAL PARIS Feria Pastel Toning Conditioner (In S01 Pastel Pink Panther)

Hello there!
After seeing it being raved about by a friend on Facebook, I decided to give the L'oreal Paris Feria Pastel Toning Conditioner a go.
Finding the actual product was a huge pain, I went into my local Boots, local SuperDrug and local Wilkinsons before eventually finding it in Boots in a different and bigger shop. I then found you can get the product in 3 different colours, a pastel purple, a pastel pink and a pastel peach, I clearly went for the pink.
Before I brought the product, I wanted to check how much it would show up in my hair. On the back of the carton it said that on my bleach blonde highlights, it should show up as really nice pastel pink. However, it didn't exactly go to plan.
After getting back home, I followed the instructions on the packaging by washing my hair (I use the Tresemme Deep Cleansing Shampoo) and leaving it wet to apply the dye. (I didn't bother with conditioning my hair as the dye also acts as a conditioner.)
The dye comes in a squeezy tube (which I personally think is easier to use than out of a pot) and also a pair of black rubber gloves. I then applied the dye over my bleached highlights from lengths to roots as directed by the instructions.
 After waiting 15 minutes as the instructions suggest, I noticed no change to my hair and ended up leaving it on for an hour before washing it out. (Don't worry, my hair didn't turn green!)
After the long process of drying and straightening my hair, I was disappointed to see that even though the dye had shown up, it wasn't as noticeable as I would have liked.Nor did it match the image on the packaging underneath 'Bleached Blonde'.
All in all, I think it would be a good product if you have naturally very light blonde hair. Hopefully I'll be trying out Directions' Pastel Pink dye later on this week.
Until next time!
