First of all i would like to say that when i searched for this company on internet for a product that they had that is similar to majicontrast/bred etc i found out that they had a toxic ingridient in that dye so the company wasn't that promising after finding this out but let's go to the review.

First of all i would like to say that these 2 products are VERY expensive. The ratio of their price with a normal shampoo here in Romania is around 5 times more which is outrageous.
So i was looking for a color protecting and depositing shampoo to keep my red hair nice and bright as long as possible. So in the mall close to my house there is a shop with "professional products", not really they only have some l'oreal shampoos (romania is really primitive in beauty products, you basically have to order online to find even simple stuff). Anyway. I was kinda shocked with the price but i thought what the heck i will save money on the dying if these 2 work.

They claim that these 2 products have red coral extract so i was excited to try them. To my disappointment, not only they don't help the color to remain but since i used them my color faded REALLY badly (it started to go blondish and it never did that). I hadn't change anything else in my hair routine that might have attributed to this awful fading so it has to be the shampoo and the mask.

I haven't used any other products by Lakme but i strongly advice against these 2 products as they really don't work as color protecting and refreshing products, heck the shampoo is not even great as a cleaning shampoo.
The only nice thing is that they have a nice smell but not anything that special.

I still have more than half of both of them and i don't even know if i should use it. I really regret buying them.

In A Nutshell (for the bored to read the whole thing):
Did I like it?  *nono*
Would I buy it again?  *nono*
Do I suggest it?  *nono*
General Thought on the products: Epic Fail  *boo*

Aww, that sucks πŸ™  Before I knew about veggie dyes, I used to buy these sort of "colour-depositing" shampoos in an effort to keep my hair red, but I've found mixing veggie dyes into your shampoo/conditioner gives much better colour and also doesn't strip out your hair.
