Superdrug Killer Volume Dry Shampoo

I love dry shampoo (or tramp shampoo as I call it when I'm just being plain lazy). We all lead busy lives and its definitely earned it's place on my dresser.

However, not all dry shampoo's are made equal and this one, Superdrug Killer Volume Dry Shampoo, unfortunately just doesn't do it for me. I find it leaves a white residue even when I've shook it and that's a big no-no when you've got dark hair like me. I know it's supposed to absorb oil but I feel like this over does it leaving my hair feeling dry and stiff, although this might be good for those of you who have super oily hair.

Volume-wise I found it lacking also, it didn't give me any volume, just a dry sticky mess. No thank you! It's a thumbs down from me!

Superdrug Killer Volume Dry Shampoo is available HERE or in your local Superdrug store.

Worth The Hype? Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

If I'm considering a new product I often look at blog posts about it or you tube reviews before I take the plunge but many products burst into the forefront and are massively hyped about, but are they really worth it? 

I decided to buy the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish as I'd seen countless recommendations for it and at the time I bought it, it was on a really good offer. Is it worth the hype? Short answer, no! Now don't get me wrong it is good, yes, it removes make up, but for me there are plenty of cheaper products that do the same thing and there just wasn't anything super special about this, and for the RRP £14.00 there really ought to be. I ditched the muslin cloth as I find them scratchy and I can't abide how filthy they look after just one use and I'd much rather use my trusty flannel. It was in fact very comparable to my Nip and Fab deep cleansing fix (more on that HERE) in that you can use that like a hot cloth cleanser (and that's just one of many uses), it works just as well, it even smells very similar (both contain eucalyptus) AND the best thing is, the Nip and Fab is almost half the price with a RRP £7.95 for 300ml of product whereas the Liz Earle only contains 100ml. No brainer really!

Balance Me face wash Review

This is the Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash. It's made from 98.8% natural ingredients, and I did look at the ingredients and there's only a few things that I'm not sure of and helpfully the funky Latin names have their English counterparts next them! So that claim seems to check out (I'm no expert!). It also contains anti-oxidants and spruce knot extract that balances normal to combination skin. 

I have to say my skin has been relatively clear recently which makes a refreshing change however I'm not sure if that's down to this or other things I've been using on my face. However, even IF it's down to this product I don't think I'd buy this at full price or even pick it up as a magazine freebie if I saw it in one again because for me, the smell is HORRENDOUS! It smells very strong, like citrus, but as if it's gone off. It's really hard to describe, my husband says like aniseed, and we both agree there's some kind of almost medical smell about it. And for that reason, I'm afraid it's a thumbs down from me.

Benefit Rollerlash

Good morning! Today I have a review of the Benefit Rollerlash Mascara. Now I know I'm a bit late to the party with this one but I got a free sample of this in a magazine and wanted to give it a good try out before I posted about it. 

I'm not usually a fan of plastic bristle brushes but this one I really liked, I felt it really did grab every lash like the claims suggest and I've always gotten along well with spoon shaped brushes as my lashes are naturally long just lacking a bit of curl and volume. The one thing that let's this down BIG style is the formula of the mascara itself, by the end of everyday I wore this it had smudged all under my brows as you can see in the photo below. 

If you just ignore my werewolf eyebrows, you can see the smudges and this happened every time I wore this mascara which is such a shame because otherwise I'd have really liked it. Unfortunately the same thing happened when I had the Benefit "They're Real" Mascara too. I'm certainly glad this was a magazine sample and I didn't waste my pennies on it! So a thumbs down from me I'm afraid! 

Mascara is however one of those things that depends on the person and I've seen many good reviews on it but unfortunately it's just not for me.

Benefit Rollerlash Mascara is available HERE for £19.50.
