Mini Reviews: Batiste, Tresemme, John Frieda

Mini Reviews: Hair Products

I am keeping it small and sweet today and sharing just a few thoughts on a few hair products I have been using. Let me know what you think of them and if they work for you.

Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray

This is the heat protect-ant spray I have always used and gone back to. It is a good product, and seems to help to protect my hair from all of the heat I use on it. This is the best heat protect-ant I have found and I will definitely be repurchasing this. 

Batiste Dry Styling XXL Plumping Powder

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure about this the first few times I used it. It seems to leave my hair feeling quite dry once rubbed into my roots. It works, but isn't something I would reach for every day as I feel it is is a mediocre product. 

John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 Day Straight 

I don't seem to get on with this product. I have had it a few times over the years and it just doesn't seem to help to keep my hair straight at all. I know a lot of people love this, so maybe I am not using it correctly but I just cant get to grips with it!

Tresemme Instant Refresh Waterless Foam

Tresemme Instant Refresh Waterless Foam

I picked this product a few Months back now as it was ina special value pack with a shampoo for a reasonable price. I was intrigued and had never heard of a waterless foam shampoo before. I thought the concept sounded a little odd so have been giving it a go!

I haven't got a lot to say about it really. It is basically just a foam which you put all over your hair, for me it didn't refresh my hair at all and I just didn't see much point in it. I would much rather just use ry shampoo or just wash my hair! Just that I am not particularly bothered with it. It isn't something I would purchase again.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here, but you know when you try something a little bit odd and it just does... nothing? I wondered if any of you had tried this? I haven't seen anything about it reviewed before, I was wondering what your thoughts on this might be?

 

Bargains of the Week: Tresemme and Philosophy

Tresemme Moisture Rich Luxurious Moisture Shampoo 500 ml and Instant Refresh Waterless Foam Shampoo 150 ml Pack, around £1.87, B & M 's

Philosophy Christmas Cookie Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath 480 ml , £3.50 at Boots

This weekend I went shopping on both Saturday and Sunday, I haven't been shopping for a good while so expect a collective haul soon.  I had read Sara's blog post about finding some of the Christmas Philosophy products in her local Boots reduced, so I went on a mission to find some myself, only in my local stores they had none. I went to Birmingham with Clare on Saturday where we had a hardcore shopping session. In Boots I found a shelf full of a fair few of the Philosophy Christmas Shower Gel, Bubble Bath and Shampoo bottles for a bargain of £3.50. There were other scents like eggnog and a berry one, I opted for this one as its super sweet and that is my favourite kind of scent. I cant believe they still had Christmas stock left over, and considering this cost £14 prior to Christmas, it was such a huge saving! I know Christmas has been and gone, hey we are in March, but it wont stop me using this as I don't think it is too much of a festive scent.

On Sunday I went shopping (again, I know, awful) just to get a few essentials and I saw this is B & M. I thought it was a bargain as it was under £2, and in the value pack there was a 500 ml bottle of shampoo which is a bargain in itself as this retails at £3.59 (although it is currently on sale for £2.39 in Boots). The other product was the Instant Refresh Waterless Foam Shampoo 150 ml, which intrigued me as I am a huge fan of Dry Shampoo, I wanted to try this spin on things. It was quite difficult to track down elsewhere so I assume it is an older product, but I am not sure. I did find it online on Lloyds Pharmacy retailed at £4.38 so I got a really good deal having both for under £2 saving around £6.10.

Have you found any bargains recently?
