are these products good?

Shimmer Lights out to work fine -- I don't care for the smell either. I use Jhirmack for "silver" hair -- works for blondes too. I also use a purple conditioner and a rinse -- that's a triple threat that does the job! Gets my hair JUST how I like it!

I normally dye my hair at home with color brilliance cream color to a light blonde.  However, I always had this sort of brassiness color at the top.  I went to a beauty supply today and the lady there reccomended that I use a Joico Vera Color high lift ash blonde color, and then she gave me shimmering lights shampoo for blonde and silver hair.  Are these products good?  Has anyone used them before?  Thanx in advance.
