Shop my Stash #4 Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I don't know why I have never reviewed this on here before. I have done is as a guest post on Steph's blog before but otherwise I just didn't do it. Bizarre. Everyone has heard of Batiste before (if not where have you been living?) and everyone I know who has used it has loved it.

It's a dry shampoo and basically I spray it in my roots (underneath) and then massage in to create a bigger style. I use this on all days I don't wash my hair as it just gives it bigger lease of life and means you can go that extra day without washing it. Parfait! This is a cute little travel edition I took to New York with me. I have tried Blush and Cherry scents and love them both, I prefer blush though as it's a bit more subtle than cherry.

Overall - GO GET THIS! It's cheap as chips and I cannot live without this! Go go go!

Shop my Stash #3 Aussie Miracle Moist

Yes, I know, I've spoken about this set before (a few times) but I've never actually done a proper review on this, so I thought I would add it into my Shop my Stash series.

I first used this when I bought the travel version when I went to Dublin in September. It was love at first lather. It was a mixture of the smell, the amount of lather and just the general feeling of using it in the shower. Which I know, sounds weird, but that's how it felt.

Not only that, but it left my hair feeling really soft and really healthy. My hair hasn't been in the greatest of health since the accidental black incident, but this set made it feel happy and healthy again and it made it look like it had a new lease of life.

I would definitely recommend giving Aussie a go. They have a wide variety of ranges to suit all different hair types. My Mum uses them as well and loves them so it's definitely a brand for all types!

Have you tried Aussie? Which range is your go-to?

Shop My Stash #2 L'Oreal Caresse

 

L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Rebel Red and Dating Coral £7.99 each

Yes, I am fully aware I have reviewed L'Oreal Caresse before, but not these colours - and these are the two I probably use the most. I bought these two about four or so months ago after falling in love with my initial Caresse purchases. I won't bore you again with a review on the product, you can see that here, but let's talk about the colours!

Dating Coral was the first of these two as it was when I was still on my hunt for the perfect summer coral lip colour. It's not my perfect coral lipstick, but I do like the colour. It's a really nice everyday colour that is easy to top up without a mirror and still gives that hint of colour.

Rebel Red is a really nice subtle sheer red. I love this and is one of my most used lipsticks when I'm not in work (much to Adam's dismay!). It's a really nice shade of red for those who aren't quite brave enough to do a proper red lip. This is definitely my favourite Caresse at the moment!

I do love the Caresse lipsticks, I think they are just the perfect alternative to lipsticks if you're not a big lipstick person. I would definitely recommend them!

What's your lipstick alternative? Are there any you've found when you've shopped your stash?

Shop my Stash #1 Sheer Blonde Go Blonder

So, this is the first in a new series of reviews I will be doing that is completely based on products I have had floating around in my bathroom for months, waiting to be used and reviewed. As I am no longer allowed to shop (hello house deposit) I thought this was the perfect way to keep my reviews coming!
Yes, I know, I'm not blonde. But my hair does go quite light, especially when it's in the sun. I bought this spray months and months ago and have decided to finally review it as part of my new "shop my stash" resolution.

Basically, I bought this spray because when I went to Australia in summer 2011 I came home with gorgeous naturally highlighted hair and I loved it. So I was hoping this spray might try and recreate this. I think I was a bit naive. Okay, very naive.

You spray this into wet hair, comb it through and then dry as normal. If I'm honest, I didn't really notice a difference. My hair did seem a little bit brighter I guess, if I looked at it closely and really wanted it to look brighter, but overall no. I don't know if it's just because I'm not actually blonde - it probably works quite well on blondes! Not only that, but it made my hair feel very hay like and a bit sticky.

Overall, I wouldn't repurchase this. I think I had hopes of grandeur ... But maybe I just need to go back to Australia...

Have you tried this? Did it work for you?
