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 :)

the body shop colour euphoria spring trend

previously i showed you the new body shop lip & cheek velvet sticks. here is rest of the colour euphoria spring trend.

poppy yellow shimmer cubes eye shadow palette is my favorite of these two palettes, because i think these colors are more wearable, and the blue color is just absolutely beautiful.

poppy pink shimmer cubes eye shadow palette is definitely for someone who likes colorful makeup, but i wouldn't see myself using this. i absolutely love orange and pink on the lips, but not so much as eye shadow colors. and i have never been a fan of green. i think i don't own anything green..

these eye shadows have great pigment, and you can use them dry or wet. the palettes are limited edition and they cost 26,50€.

to compliment the makeup looks, there is matching nail polishes to go with. (sorry about the quality of this picture!)

783 a sunny affair

784 mad about blue

785 apricot kiss

all of the colors are great spring and summer colors. i like the blue and yellow! the body shop nail polishes (8,80€) are vegan and they are formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor and toluene free. they have good coverage and glossy finish.

even these nail polishes are part of the spring trend collection, they will stay in the regular range (the lip & cheek velvet sticks as well!), so they are not limited editions like the shimmer cubes.  

limited edition poppy blusher brush (14,50€) finishes the poppy themed collection. it's amazingly soft..
