Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is a must have product to keep in your beauty cupboard. I will usually purchase the Batiste dry shampoo but this was on offer in Superdrug so I gave it a whirl!

I decided to choose the uplifting volume one. The product claims to refresh hair and give it extra volume. It contains natural tapioca that helps to transform hair by absorbing excess oil and the citrus fragrance helps to refresh your hair.

I love the citrus smell! Also, this product doesn't give you the usual white residue that the Batiste product does. Perhaps it's because I have dark hair, but it usually takes ages to get rid of the white residue and I'm always conscious that I haven't blended it all in. But with this product there is no reason to worry, as there isn't any white residue!

I found it did help to give my hair a little more volume and refresh my hair. The hair in the photos is day 3 hair (so pretty greasy and needing a wash!) I wanted to give the product a proper testing. I think it does help make it look washed. (Before and After).

The only thing I didn't like about the product, is how it makes your hair feel afterwards. It's like a matted texture - not very nice to feel! It's the same kinda feeling after you have after using hairspray!

So although it may look like it has more volume, it doesn't make it feel very clean! Whereas you don't get this with Batiste dry shampoo. Personally, I think I would buy this product again (only when on offer) as I like that I don't have the white residue and I love the fresh smell. Hopefully the texture part is something that they can improve on.

Thanks for reading!

March Favourites

This month has been whizzing by so quickly! I didn't realise it was so long since I last blogged! I thought I would write a blog post on my favourite products this month. I have accumulated quite a few new products this month and some of them have made it to this list already.

So one of the products I have bought recently is the W7 blusher - this product has been raved about quite a bit and I can understand why now. It doesn't provide great colour, but it does give the skin a really nice glow. It has a shimmering effect, which looks lovely over a pinky blusher. The brush included is so soft too - I will write a full product review on this soon! This cost around £3.99 and I ordered it from Xtras.com.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Review

I put my hair through quite a bit with using my hair dryer and straighteners at least once every other day. It can become quite dry at times and I do get worried about getting split ends. I have used Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends shampoo and conditioner before and really loved the smell and the result from using it and so the other week I decided to try this intensive hair mask from the same range. It is designed for dry and damaged hair.

There are two types you can buy - one which you leave in your hair and the other which you wash out after 5 minutes. I decided to get the one which you wash out, as I'm not too sure I like the idea of leaving a conditioner in my hair.
