Kim Kardashian and Claudia Winkleman's hair stylists love this brand now on sale
As a beauty journalist, I sample more products than I can tally – but when it comes to haircare, one brand I consistently reach for is Color Wow. To mark the Bank Holiday, the brand adored by celebrity stylists is offering up to 30% off their cult-favourite hair products, making it the perfect time to give them a go, or replenish some hero products.
Endorsed by the hairstylists of Claudia Winkleman and Kim Kardashian, the brand is renowned for their high performing hair care and styling formulas, from frizz-taming sprays to high-gloss serums. All are developed in-house under the guidance of founder Gail Federici who boasts an impressive 40 years in the industry, and even created the hair world's first anti-frizz product, Frizz Ease, during her tenure at John Frieda Hair Care.
Starting yesterday (May 22) and continuing until Tuesday, May 27, the more shoppers spend, the larger the discount they can access. Customers who spend £50 or more can get 20% off with the code SAVE20, or unlock 25% off with the code SAVE25 when they spend £75.
For those who wish to splurge, they can save 30% with the code SAVE30 when they spend over £100, reports the Mirror.
However, they're not the only brand offering a sale. Amazon is also hosting its inaugural Everyday Essentials Week, providing seven days of deals on everyday essential items until 23.59pm on Tuesday, May 27. As part of this event, there's up to 40% off beauty products, including brands like NIVEA, KIKO and Neutrogena. In addition, Charlotte Tilbury is offering a 20% discount across their website with the code MAGICMAY.
But which products should you be snapping up from the Color Wow event? Here are the Color Wow products I genuinely rate – and why they're worth adding to your basket.
1. Dream Coat Supernatural Spray - usually £27
This top-selling spray is Color Wow's ultimate anti-frizz treatment. It utilises innovative humidity-blocking technology to effectively waterproof your hair and keep frizz at bay for up to four washes. It also imparts a mirror-like, glassy shine to your hair and provides two levels of built-in heat protection.
This lightweight yet highly effective product is a favourite among stylists for tackling summer frizz, even in extreme humidity. Claudia Winkleman's stylist, Amy Short, is a fan, using it to achieve the TV presenter's enviable shine.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, known for working with Kim Kardashian, has also praised the product, saying: "The level of glossy shine is incredible. Nothing can create a mirror-like-finish like Dream Coat ...and keep the style humidity-proof for days,".
2. Pop and Lock High Gloss Finish - usually £22.50
A cross between a lightweight oil and a shine serum, this multitasking product smooths, hydrates, and adds significant gloss to hair. With three levels of heat protection, Pop and Lock safeguards against UV rays and colour fade.
The sparkling high-gloss finish also locks down the cuticle and temporarily seals split ends. I love how this product gives my hair a freshly blow-dried look in seconds, leaving it glossy without feeling greasy, unlike some oils. A little goes a long way, and it's also available in a mini 12ml version for £9, perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
The product has an impressive 4.8-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews. One customer raved: "This is great for controlling humidity and makes your hair shine!" One user raved about a hair product, saying: "For years I have tried to find a product that tames my frizzy hair and I have finally found the perfect product! My hair feels so silky and soft after using it as well and it lasts for days."
Yet, some customers have encountered issues with the applicator. A customer commented: "The product is amazing! Looks as if it is going to be sticky but it's not. My menopausal hair is dry and frizzes easily. This is transforming my hair! I love it. However, I ordered the small applicator initially to try it and the hoke gets easily clogged up, difficult to use, it comes out thick and to get 1cm length even I have to pump it several times. If it wasn't such a good product I'd have given up and thrown it away. I also wish the black parts were clear plastic as it can't be recycled."
3. Color Security Shampoo, usually priced at £21.50
The Color Security Shampoo is particularly recommended for its effectiveness on coloured or treated hair, which many budget options fail to adequately protect.
When I opted for a copper hair dye last year, this quickly became my preferred choice for maintaining my hair between salon appointments. The sulfate-free, residue-free shampoo cleanses gently yet thoroughly, without leaving any build-up that could weigh down the hair or irritate the scalp.
In fact, every ingredient is designed to rinse off completely, leaving hair feeling squeaky clean which I find allows me to extend the time between washes. It's safe for all hair types and colour-treated strands, it's even touted as 'perfect' for extensions.
4. Money Mist Leave-In Conditioner - usually priced at £29.50
Given that my hair is quite fine, I don't really favour using thick heavy conditioners in the shower. Instead, I prefer a light, leave-in formula like the Money Mist from Color Wow. I stumbled upon this earlier this year and now I incorporate it into my regular wash routine, every time without fail.
The weightless, glossy leave-in conditioner strengthens, detangles, and smooths, all while adding shine and providing heat/UV protection. No heat tools are required for activation.
My favourite aspect is how it makes my hair feel so luxurious. That silky, swishy finish you get after a salon blowout? Money Mist delivers that without having to step out of the house.
For a similar experience, I also quite fancy Lush Super Milk and Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Joia Milky Leave-In Conditioner, both priced at £28.
Moreover, if the discount wasn't enticing enough, any customer who spends over £60 on the Color Wow site will have the opportunity to select a complimentary travel-sized product at the checkout. I suggest securing a mini version of your preferred product and saving it for your next holiday, or choose a product you've been eager to try but were hesitant to purchase at full price.

Two beauty writers tried Curlsmith's viral leave in cream
Two writers, with very different curl patterns, put the new Curlsmith leave in conditioner to the test Curlsmith is a renowned name in the curly hair world and one of its cult products is a 'weightless' leave in conditioner that shoppers online are raving about. So naturally, here at the Mirror we decided to put it to the test to see if it lives up to its pretty stellar reputation of helping enhance curl texture whilst hydrating. With claims to work on different curl patterns, Jada with type 3b curls, and Eve with type 2b curls both tried it out. The brand's Air Dry Cream, £23, promised 'soft, defined curls without the crunch, buildup, or greasy feel'. The formula uses a blend of Castor Oil, Babassu, Jojoba, and Murumuru Butter to hydrate the hair and fight frizz. Not only that but it aims to be weightless on all curls, even the most fine and low-density. Curlsmith claims that a small amount 'about the size of a 5p coin' applied to soaking wet hair is all that's needed for leave hair looking beautiful without the need for additional products. Jada's thoughts "I have type 3b curls and it can be quite challenging finding things that really work for them. Once I find a product that works, it then becomes a challenge to figure out how wet my hair should be when I use it and how much of it I need. With the Curlsmith Weightless Air Dry Cream I tried it a few different ways. I did try it with the advised small amount but with the length and thickness of my hair, I think it needed more. "My favourite had to be a very generous amount immediately after combing my hair, while it's still soaking wet, which I then let air dry over a number of hours. I was thrilled with the results, although I did find that the tips of my hair did get quite frizzy as the day went on. Usually to combat this I'd use a leave in conditioner and a styling cream, such as Fenty's Homecurl, as I find my curls can be quite thirsty. There isn't a massively strong smell to the Curlsmith leave in conditioner which I find to be a refreshing change as sometimes hair products can overpower my perfume. "With any curly hair product there is a little trial and error involved and I think next time I'll be even more generous with the product around the tips of my hair to prevent it poofing up too much. I must say it's not lying about being weightless, my hair didn't feel weighed down at all." Eve's thoughts "My hair can never make up its mind whether it has 2b or 2c curls - it truly depends on the day and the curl routine (as it the case with most textured hair) and it has taken me a while to find a good, simple but effective curl routine that works for my hair. Especially now I've got a bob. So I was really intrigued to see how Curlsmith's Weightless Air Dry Cream, which has had some pretty impressive reviews and results, would fare. "As instructed, I washed my hair and raked it through my short locks with the desired 5p coin amount, smoothed down my hair using the 'praying hands' method to seal in the moisture and hopefully reduce frizz, and then left it to work its magic. It took about 3 hours to air dry and my curls felt lovely, really soft and had a fluffiness to them. While the curls at the back - which often need a bit more TLC when I'm diffusing - looked a bit limp and wavy, the ringlets at the front had body, life and had some definition. I also decided to wet it on day three hair and add a bit more product, which gave me a few more baby curls. "Packed with hyaluronic acid, wild murumuru, babassu oil, silky castor oil and grated ginger, the formula clearly injected my hair with hydration and, as the bottle says, it really did feel weightless with some real volume. But it didn't wow me with definition and bounce, which is something I was expecting having trawled through tried and tested comments. That being said, it certainly had fluffiness that defied gravity and the cream didn't leave behind any crunchy or greasy residue, which some products do. "It also didn't have a particularly strong scent, which made for a nice change - some have a more chemically smell. Now, new curly hair products need some time for trial and error and next time I'll definitely be adding in some gel or try and get my hands on the brand's Hydro Style Flexi Jelly (as recommend as a good pairing with the Air Dry Cream) to see if that offers up a bit more hold. "But as lightweight, leave-in conditioners go, this one is certainly at the top of my product list and rivals my usual contenders of Hask's 5-in-1 leave in condition, £6.99 on Amazon, and Only Curls' £18 moisturising cream. At £23, it is quite expensive but considering the silky smooth results of my hair, I do think it's worth it."

Oasis tour Cardiff stage times and support acts confirmed
We are now just days away from the Oasis Live 25 tour kicking off in Cardiff with final details emerging The support acts playing at as part of the Oasis Live 25 tour are sure to delight most fans - as they have regularly played with Oasis in the past. The first act playing will be Cast, the Liverpool band formed in 1992 by John Power and best known for their 1995 albums All Change. Speaking about playing on the tour, John told the Mirror he will be their as an Oasis fan as well as playing before them. The band split up in 2001 but reformed in 2010 and last year they toured as support for Liam Gallagher as he played a Definitely Maybe Oasis tour which fans loved. And now the Manchester frontman has personally got them back for the Oasis shows. John said: "I got a call from a number, and I have got Liam and Noel's numbers and all that, but it was a different number, and I don't normally answer them. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp! As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on the Gallagher brothers and all the information you'll need in the run up to the gigs.

"And I picked it up, and it was Debbie, Liam's manager and his wife, and Liam in the background as well. And then Liam, he'd just spoken to Noel and they just discussed it, and they just said, 'You know, look, we just spoke to our kid. Do you want to open up on the tour?' "I was like, 'You know, I think I do actually!' And it was a really cool conversation, and then we were blown away like, I mean, it was like the best news we could have hoped for." He adds: "It's the biggest tour this year and it authenticates the legacy of Cast. This is a band in previous years if there was a Britpop list, top 20, we wouldn't even be in it. "But now you can't do it. Because it's like the biggest band of that time are saying 'check this out'." As well as the call from Liam, Cast firmly have the Oasis seal-of-approval with Noel Gallagher previously describing frontman John as being 'as cosmic as the day is long.' Fans can expect John to belt out 'Alright' and 'Finetime' to fire up audiences from the off, while slow burners such as 'Sandstorm' and 'Walkaway' are perfect for early singalongs in the stadiums. After touring with Oasis, Cast will then be on the road themselves with dates going through the year. The second and main support act will be Richard Ashcroft, the former Verve frontman. He has been playing alongside Oasis since the Nineties when they began. When they started out Oasis would support The Verve at shows because they were the bigger band. Speaking about the upcoming tour, Richard said: "I see it as I've got a very important part to play in this. "You know, back in the day Oasis supported The Verve and then it flipped around and we supported Oasis at Earls Court, then I as a solo artist have played with Oasis." He went on to tell the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X: "I said to Noel, 'You know, I think I'm the only person who could go in this slot. Especially for a huge outdoor show, because everyone wants you lot. And unless you're coming with something, unless you've got something to offer, I don't know what's gonna happen'." Get Liam Gallagher updates straight to your WhatsApp! As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on Liam Gallagher in the lead up to the band's gigs.

A two-time Ivor Novello Award winner (Songwriter of the Year and Outstanding Contribution To British Music), Ashcroft has become an accomplished and influential songwriters. His first chapter with The Verve reached a remarkable peak with 'Urban Hymns', and his support slot is sure to be a hit-laden set with the likes of 'Bitter Sweet Symphony', 'The Drugs Don't Work', 'Lucky Man' and 'Sonnet'. These tracks made Urban Hymns one of the biggest selling albums in UK history with 11 x Platinum certifications. As well as the Oasis Live 25 tour, Ashcroft will play select headline shows and festivals this Summer. According to the official Prinicipality Stadium website, doors open for the opening gig on July 4 at 5pm. Both support acts will be expected to play 30-45 minutes on stage, before the main event of Oasis back on stage for the first time since 2009. Based on previous shows at the Principality Stadium, the main headline act normally ends around 10.20pm. Cast would therefore be on stage around 6.30, followed by Richard Ashcroft, with Oasis taking to the stage around 8pm. Last Summer the Foo Fighters played the Principality Stadium and came on at 7.35pm but played an epic 25 song set. Oasis who are returning after some time away, may play a slightly shorter set, especially based on their history of punchier shorter set lists.

EXCLUSIVE Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding date CONFIRMED as new details emerge about lavish marriage events with luxury yacht heading towards holiday island
After a two-year-long engagement, Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are due to get married in Venice, Italy. And while a multitude of celebrations are taking place to mark the nuptials next week, a source in Italy has revealed to MailOnline that the couple will officially tie the knot on June 27. They will say 'I do' on the island of San Giorgio, which is home to the famous Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church. Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, will be docked on the island's harbour. The island, which is owned by the Cini Foundation, will not be open to the public. The ceremony is part of three events, all at different locations, which will take place to celebrate the newly weds. It is believed that on June 26, there could be a gala at a private cloister along the iconic Lid potentially at Chiostro della Madonna dell'Orto. And on June 28 there will be a lavish party at a palazzo or church, the source believes. The insider confirmed that guests are expected to arrive in the country over the next few days and leave by June 29. The guest list is thought to have less than 200 people, with suspected guests including A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and even members of the Trump family. In addition to the private tenders, around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. Some of the most expensive and high-end hotels in the Italian city include The Aman, where you can book a room for over $2,700 per night, and Hotel Cipriani, which goes for over $2,000 per night. Local bakery Rosa Salva Venetia will be providing pastries for the extravagant weekend. The delicious menu items at the bakery include tiramisu, flaky, cream-filled pastries, and fritelli, a traditional Italian fried treat. However, Rosa Salva Venetia will not be providing the wedding cake for the loved-up couple. Our source claimed that a celebrity wedding planner, who is not working this event, has heard that guests will receive 'opulent' gifts just for attending the nuptials. The insider confirmed that guests are expected to arrive in the country over the next few days and leave by June 29 And it looks like all of this opulence is thanks to Sánchez herself, as her hubby-to-be revealed in a 2023 Vogue interview that he wouldn't dare get involved with wedding planning. 'Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?' Bezos told the outlet when he was asked if he had a big part in the preparations. During the interview, the future Mrs. Bezos listed Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino as some of her favorite designers, but didn't share anything about which one will make her gown - or gowns, for that matter. Separate sources recently told MailOnline that the festivities are expected to cost anywhere from $15 to $20 million. Many things went into the estimate of the total cost, including transportation fees, her wedding dress and catering. During the interview, Ms Sánchez also revealed that Bezos is a 'monster' in the gym, and that they do much of their training together. Though, they can't do everything together, as she noted that he was on a 'whole different level' than she is. And Sánchez and her man have been getting shredded together for their upcoming nuptials. Separate sources recently told MailOnline that the festivities are expected to cost anywhere from $15 to $20 million In the past, the Blue Origin astronaut, now 55, has taken to her Instagram page to share various videos of her workouts, which often include weight training and a lot of abdominal work. Previously, she shared a video of her quick, twenty-minute workout with a trainer, which included Nordic hamstring curls, step-up knee drives, thrusters ad bench step-overs. While there are varying reports as to when Bezos started a relationship with Ms Sánchez, it has been claimed that the two first met as far back as 2016. It's claimed that the two were 'cordial' acquaintances until they met at another event in 2018. Later that year, they started working together, when Jeff hired Black Ops Aviation, Sánchez's production company, to work for his aerospace company, Blue Origin, garnering content. Reports say that Sánchez- a helicopter pilot, former Miss Junior America New Mexico, and reporter for Extra - and Jeff started their relationship that year. At the time, Lauren was married to Patrick Whitesell, a top Hollywood talent agent, which meant that she was familiar to many in Tinseltown herself. A magazine outed the couple for having an affair while both married. Four years after Bezos' divorce was finalised, he got down on one knee to propose to his Emmy Award-winning journalist girlfriend - with Ms Sánchez saying yes. The 2023 proposal took place aboard Jeff's $500 million superyacht and was sealed with an impressive sparkler. Estimated by some to be between 15 and 20 carats, Lauren's diamond ring has been valued at between $3 and $5 million dollars. Since going public in 2019, the couple have flaunted their love around the world, holidaying aboard Jeff's megayacht and enjoying a dinner date with former celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.
