KC Professional Color Mask Shampoo is a shampoo developed especially for coloured hair. Its gentle SLS and SLES free formula, conditioning ingredients and balanced pigment keep your hair radiant right up until the next colouring.
Hair colour fading is mostly caused by the mechanical strain placed on the hair during washing as well as chemical strains by ingredients in shampoos which cleanse and condition the hair.
KC Professional Color Mask Shampoo protects the hair from pigment loss by preventing the two points above as well as by replacing and adding pigment keeping hair radiant.
I have it in the shade Brown. The shampoo itself is quite dark and runny. I rub it between the palms of my hands and smooth through my hair. It creates a little lather depending on how much product you put. Make sure to rinse well and run water on the walls to remove excess pigment splattered on your shower surfaces. This is one of those shampoos that leaves a 'squeaky clean feel' to the hair and scalp which I do appreciate.
KC Professional Color Mask Shampoo (launching in September 2015) comes in 4 shades, I recommend picking the shade closest to your current hair colour to make it look natural and get the most of using this shampoo.

I've finally tried the Silk Fibre Brow Enhancer (£19.99) which I was curious about for the longest time. Available from Boots in four colours, I picked out the shade in Dark for my almost-black brows.
The product comes with a doe foot applicator wand tightly screwed into a pot that contains the powdery fibres. It gets quite messy when the applicator comes out as with a little puff of powder the fibres start flying all over the place. I would recommend lightly tapping out excess then drawing and filling in your eyebrows. The powder sets within a minute and lasts through the day.
I suggest using this product first before applying face makeup followed by a quick wipe as there is quite a lot of fall out and you wouldnt want dirt-like dust all over your face.
The doe foot applicator lacks precision which can make it a little difficult to draw on skinny brows, but for the Cara Delevigne look this will work nicely.
Overall despite my excitement for this Silk Fibre Brow Enhancer, I find this only works for when you've got a lot of time to doodle with your makeup. For daily wear I perhaps wont get much use out of this due to the extra time and work dealing with the fallout. It is available from Boots at £19.99 each.

If you're curious about trying out Ecotools Brushes I suggest you start with the Ecotools Mini Essentials Set. This travel-perfect set of three contains a large powder brush for your face powder / blusher / contour, a flat eyeshadow brush for an easy well-blended application of eyeshadow on the lid, and a small angled brush perfect for lining the upper lash line and extending to a feline flick.
I keep these in my on-the-go mini emergenc makeup bag for touch ups. The lightweight yet sturdy natures of these lil things are huge pluses in my book. I've washed these twice and also have not seen a single hair shed - perfect!

I always jump at the chance to try long-lasting makeup and that was the case with these Rimmel London Provocalips Kissproof Lip Colours. To be honest I acquired these a few months ago and have been using them intermittently, trying to make up my mind about them. I picked up three shades: I'll Call You, Play With Fire and Kiss Fatale.
These products are liquid lipsticks with one end being the product itself and the other end a clear gloss-like top coat. The liquid lipsticks are mildly shrink-wrap the lips, but a lot more comfortably than the old Maxfactor ones I tried and loathed in the past. I would definitely recommend using lip balm before application.
I find that applying straight from the tube can be quite tricky. If your lips have faint outlines like mine, I believe lining the lips with a lip pencil with a similar shade or one close to your natural lip colour helps.
This product claims to last 16 hours of wear, but realistically 1. Eating food which contain oils quickly break down the product, and 2. Apart from airline stewardesses, I doubt many would want their lipsticks to last that long.
Overall, I personally don't mind these; they are not my immediate go-to for lipsticks but they are reasonably priced from the drugstores and give my lips good coverage. However they do need touching up, especially after meals. Find my swatches below.
