5 Products I've Been Loving May

Third in this series of products I've been loving. You can watch the video on my IGTV but this month they all seem to be hair related. Some old favourites and some new.

1. Shavata Brow & Lash Strengthener £22

I'm a huge fan of brow guru Shavata Singh and will buy into anything she says works on lashes and brows! This is 100% co

ld pressed castor oil. Known for its nourishing properties and omega 9 fatty acids this will maintain brows in top condition and keep them glossy and strengthened.

Simply glide on brows at night before going to bed and brush out. Also over the lash line (apply like you would liner)

2. Anastasia Beverely Hills Brow Freeze £22

This was the brow product I've been searching for. It's been around a while, and I had trouble getting hold of it as it seemed to be sold out everywhere - but I eventually tracked it down in Selfridges. It's a clear waxy gel which when applied to brows really holds them in place for hours - potentially the whole day if you don't rub them. Use a brow brush to apply for best results. I colour in my brows first.

3. Rumi Cosmétiques VolumeCare+ Mascara £24

I was sent this product to try and I'm so glad they did as I don't think I would have come across it if not.

What I loved about it is that it's a conditioning mascara aimed at 'mid lifers' - or as they term it 'menopausal women' - which means it's designed to condition our slightly dryer lashes and make the most of them as well as thickening and lengthening. It goes on really beautifully - no clogging - and makes me feel good about wearing it as I feel as if I'm putting on a lash conditioner daily. It also contains ingredients that promote growth - and is 100% vegan and cruelty free.

4. Mark Hill Hair Hair Lab Hydrating Shampoo £8.99 and Hydrating Treatment £10.99

I worked with the brand last year for their relaunch and couldn't wait to try these new formulations.

The packaging is stunning and I was intrigued to see whether Mark's perfectionism came through in the products and if they were really going to do as they say.

I really rate this as an affordable 'high-street' hair brand. I know Mark was keen to avoid all nasties with this range which doesn't always mean they work better, but I can honestly say my hair felt softer and less dry after using them. In fact I have bought my second batch, so that speaks volumes. Both contain essential oils to rebuild hair and are sulphate and silicon free.
