kc professional color mask paint lavender a.k.a how i spent 29€ for nothing

i previously mentioned that i have been dreaming of pastel violet hair, so when i heard that kc professional had launched new product range of color masks that included this "lavender" color i was so excited.

the excitement was short lived though, since the product really didn't work in my hair. of course it's individual, and if my hair was even whiter (i have been working so long to get my silver instead of yellow..) maybe the color would have stick better. but still i expected much more from this product, since the color mask paint is supposed to be more like hair color and not a toner as the original color masks. 

before:

how to use it: wash your hair with shampoo and then towel dry your hair. apply the product in your hair and comb it through to get even result. leave it in the hair for 15-30 min depending of the result you want (i kept the full 30 minutes btw..). the color should stay in the hair from 5 to 30 washes.

after:

i can see a hint of violet in the right up.............

you can check their website to see how the color is supposed to look like and to understand why i feel so disappointed.

the color mask paints cost 14,50€ and because they are only 75ml and i have thick long hair i obviously had to buy two of them. i'm gonna use the rest that was left to tone any yellowness in the roots..

not to leave it in a bad note the color mask paint is a hair mask as well as hair color, so it leaves the hair really moisturised :)

february shopping haul

here's the products that i purchased on monday!


















clarins instant light lip balm perfector in shade 04 orange (19,90€). it took me while to choose a shade, but the shades 01 and 02 were so light, that they wouldn't have made any difference, since my lips are quite dark colored. i will probably buy later the shade 06, it was nice darker nude. but back to the orange - it will be really good summer color and really easy to use, since you will not need even a mirror to apply it. im wearing this in my contour and highlight video also, if you want to see how it looks. in the same video im using also the new mac 109 small contour brush (41,50€).

mac's velvet teddy lipstick (20,50€) is the it color of the moment, since it's rumored to be the shade that kylie jenner is using. it took me while to decide to buy it or not, because i was scared it would be too dark to my liking. but im glad i did, it's really growing on me!

klippoteket's silver shampoo and balsam i have been using already a while. since i have been blond almost all of my life, i have tried countless of products for blond hair. currently these are the best silver products, and they don't even cost much - only 7,50€! they have such an amazing pigment. klippoteket is a swedish brand, so i'm not sure which countries the products are available.

i'm gonna talk about kc professional's lavender hair mask later, i'm planning to do another post just about that..
