Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo Review

These days everyone raves about using dry shampoo in between hair washes. I am the type who would rather wash my hair and have it clean and fresh - hence, I hadn't ever tried one in my life!! On a trip to London, I decided to pick up a 50 ml travel size of Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo. Since Philip Kingsley is a hair maestro and a reputable brand, I thought that hopefully this won't damage my hair as opposed to other dry shampoos that are available in the drugstore i.e. Boots.

Philip Kingsley One More Day Dry Shampoo

Being I am a dark brunette, I hoped that this wouldn't cast a white powdery layer on my hair and side parting. And most of all, I didn't want my scalp to feel itchy and dirty. As it is you already have oil build up and the least you want is to make your hair feel more greasy and gritty!

Sadly, my expectations were a bit far fetched! Once I sprayed it from a distance of 15cm, I found it quite hard to get rid of the white powder that it had cast on my hair. It seemed as if I had grey hair and used my fingers to massage it into the roots after brushing it through my hair. One thing I noticed was that it added some volume to my hair which was a bonus! On the flip side, the spray mechanism broke on the third use and I have quite a bit in the can which will go to waste - a bummer!!

Your hair does feel clean and the spray has a pleasant smell. I could tolerate it and wasn't annoyed by it when I would get whiffs of it during the day. As for my scalp, it felt itchy after a day and knew that I could no longer pull it off and jumped in the shower.

I would say that this is a quick fix for those days when you are pressed for time and have to make yourself look presentable. I personally wouldn't like to use dry shampoos on a regular basis as some people do. I don't think the product build up and the gunk they leave on the hair shaft would do wonders for anyone's hair. But, to each their own.

Do let me know your experience with dry shampoos or this one in particular! I might just cave and try Batiste!!

Mario Badescu Skincare | Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water

Living with constant air conditioning in sunny, Saudi Arabia, my skin tends to lose moisture. I can't reapply moisturizers on top of make-up when I am on the go. So, I love to use facial sprays as they kill two birds with one stone. They are great for adding dewiness to the skin and also great pick me ups during the working day. A inexpensive option which I have tried and come to love is the Mario Badescu Skincare Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water. Mario Badescu Skincare Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water This is a great facial spray which will only set you back by a measly $7!! What a deal!! Certainly check it out if you're in the market for a facial spray and don't want to invest in the luxury brands!!

Philip Kingsley | Body Building Shampoo

Every girl wants big, voluminous hair making heads turn by the millisecond. I am jus the same, maybe not wanting all that attention, but certain love big hair! I have been using Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo for quite a while and have come to love it! Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo works like a charm on thin or fine to limp hair by adding body and texture to it. I find that it also clarifies my hair just as well as any clarifying shampoo. My hair tends to dry out a bit if I don't use a conditioner. But, nothing really comprises the body this bad boy gives. It retails for £18 at www.l ookfantastic.com for a bottle of 250ml.

Origins | A Perfect World

I used to use a particular face wash some years ago and then strayed off the path in search for something different. I was raiding my beauty closet and luckily this face wash was still in date!! * happy days..wink * I decided to use Origins A Perfect World face wash and old memories just came flooding back. Origins A Perfect World This is a no brainer!! It is not complicated like some other face washes which you either have to apply on dry skin to activate the exfoliating enzymes or wet skin so it slides effortlessly so as to unclog your pores. With this face wash, you simply squirt a dime size of the gel/cream and I apply it on my wet face. I like to massage my facial washes to help me relax after a tiring work day. This is not only relaxing, but also helps clear out any grime which may be festering in my pores. After use, my skin was wonderfully clean without it being tight. Origin states the following: " Th...
