Hi Ditzy,
I found the following reviews on the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette line. I'll cut and paste it for ya:
Found these on sale at Walgreens at 2 for $9.00.
The shampoo and conditioner are both lovely. Shampoo has a very rich, thick lather, conditioner works well, not too heavy. Both have a very sweet brown
sugar scent (to me). The finishing cream is very nice, not as balmy/waxy as
I would like, but close. Same scent as the the poo and conditioner and
really does give my hair more shine. The hairspray? Kinda weird bc seems to
have an oiliness to it. Overall, very nice line imo.

Here's another review I found:
First, I used the Shine Release Shampoo in the Chestnut to Espresso shade (it also comes in the lighter Amber to Maple shade). I am not often impressed by shampoo, but this one has the best honey-like texture and left my hair light and bouncy. It uses cocoa bean extract and silk protein to preserve the rich highlights in darker hair. The Light Reflecting Conditioner uses crushed pearls to illuminate and smooth hair.
The line offers several shine-enhancing styling aids as well. My favorite is the Satin Shine finishing crème, designed to be applied to dried hair. This product smoothed my flyaways and gave an extra shine boost without being greasy. Finally, the Model Control firm-hold gel tamed my wicked cowlick without leaving any dull residue or sticky clumps. Review By Courtney Dunlop
Here's another comment on Frieda's Brilliant Brunette:
I've been using it for about a week now, and I saw my bf's mom & sister yesterday and they both asked if I had cut my hair or dyed it. So I guess it's done something! - Giselle in Canada
The bottle says:
Formulated to replenish and invigorate dull, brittle, brown hair and bring out the multi-dimensional richness of brunette tones..without adding or depositing colour. Ultra-conditioning shampoo renews silkiness and suppleness as it reveals exceptional shine...
Designed specifically to enhance darker shades of brown hair from Hazelnut to espresso, this low-pH formula features cocoa bean extract and crushed pearls."
