Advantages: vibrant colour, looks exactly like the colour on the box

Disadvantages: messy

Because I regularly colour my hair (at least every six weeks) and have had a few bad experiences with hair colours I tend to stick to the one brand which is usually L'Oreal Revitalise, however when I was in Boots, a couple of days ago, I came across the Feria range and because it was made by L'Oreal I was a bit more confident using it than I would have been if it had been made by another manufacturer.

The Feria 3D range has a better selection of colours and the colours seem much more vibrant, I usually colour my hair with the Dark copper Mahogany from the revitalise range, but I was fascinated by the Chocolate Cherry range of Feria which was a much more striking colour of burgundy.

The first time I used this my husband thought I had had a nasty accident, as the whole bathroom seemed to be covered in blood red dye, its amazing how much colour can come out of one small bottle, and how little of it can actually end up on your hair. This is a bit of a hazard for DIY hair dyers, I much more proficient at dying the bathroom.

Feria is the same as other hair dyes in that you have two little bottles, the small blue bottle screws into the bottom of the larger white bottle and you shake the bottle vigourously until it is well mixed, the most important thing here is to make sure that you break of the top of the bigger bottle as soon as you have mixed the two colours, otherwise the bottle will explode, and it takes forever to clean up, in fact its actually quicker to redecorate the whole bathroom, which happened in my case.

The gloves supplied are good quality like all the L'Oreal range and there is also a bottle of conditioner with enough for two washes.

Unlike the revitalising range you apply Feria to damp, towel dried hair, the dye itself is quite a thick consistency, this makes it easier to control, it also has a quite pleasant smell, which is a pleasant change compared to other dyes. There is quite a lot in the b
ottle and is sufficient for very long hair, but even if your hair is short you should use all of the colour, the waiting time is 30 minutes then you wash out in the normal way, the excess colour washes out quite quickly. The conditioner supplied is lovely and silky leaving your hair incredibly soft.

This product cost £6.99 a bit more expensive than some hair colours but I feel it is money well spent, and you can use it on your Boots Advantage cared. I was very pleased with the vibrant colour and the simplicity of application. It claims to cover up to 30% of grey hair and I was very pleased with the result. It is not recommend for any one with more than 30% grey hair.

I'm very pleased with the over all result. The colour is exactly like it shows on the box and it shines and shimmers beautifully. Its covered up the grey hair I had wonderfully and I love it so much that I will definitely use it again.
