So the festive season is finally upon us, and sure enough, our diaries are quickly filling up with soirées galore.

With women more concerned about their looks than ever before, top brands are stopping at nothing to supply this ever-growing demand, or are they? The UK’s market for ethnic cosmetics and toiletries has grown by about 24% since 2002, according to Mintel's Ethnic Cosmetics and Toiletries report. So why is there still so little choice? Our panel of testers set out to explore the choice available and give you an honest and frank review of each product

Today there is quite clearly huge demand for products specifically designed for the growing number of ethnic consumers. Although there are luxury ranges for those with darker skin tones, mass-market alternatives on the high street are still few and far between."

The leading research company Mintel believes a little investment could transform the ethnic cosmetics and toiletries market into one of the beauty industry's most promising sectors. It forecasts that, with the right investment in new products and advertising, this market could grow by as much as 35% in the next five years, and could be worth £88m by 2012.

It’s the lead up to everyone’s favourite, but most hectic time: Christmas party season! With a bit of surreptitious shoe shopping already underway, attentions are soon to be turned to the age-old gym panic, with that little black dress debut looming ever closer.

As anyone with highlights will confirm, going to a new salon to get them done is a risky experience. With so many ways that they can potentially go wrong, (too streaky, too brassy, too light, too chunky, too thin), it’s always going to be a bit of a leap of faith to throw your locks into the hands of a stranger. Thankfully, I needn’t have worried.
