Garnier Pure Volume Dry Shampoo

-
Packaging:
Lime green aerosol can with tinted cap. It has pink and white accent writing. The spray is fine. Honestly I thought that this can looked small when I saw it. Feeling the weight it as if there wasn't an adequate amount of product.

Smell:
Citrus which reminds me of their other products.

Colour:
None.

Formula/ Texture:
In my opinion this is the same formula wise like every other dry shampoo out there. On the can it says that this is silicone and colorant free. Im not 100% sure what that means, but I'm guessing it won't make your hair feel slippery like the silicone in primers do, nor extra chemicals on the hair that aren't needed.

On the dry shampoo factor, yes this does work. My hair feels refreshed and doesn't look greasy. I do feel that I have to spray more of this on as compared to others I've tried but that may be due to the finer mist spray?

My hair doesn't get that greasy or dirty looking at all but I have noticed that I can use this on second day and by the end of that day my hair will look slightly greasy and need a wash. This is disappointing. If used on third day hair, it doesn't really seem to do much and I have to resort to a bun. The Batiste dry shampoos I can use on third and fourth day hair.

The factor that drew my eye in was the 'volume & body' boost claim. On this, yes I can see volume at the roots where this has been sprayed. It does add that extra bit of oomph to the hair. Though spray too much and you'll end up with little white flakes, similar to dandruff but much smaller and more noticeable.

I like this, but I don't love it. The can says it'll last for 32 uses and while I don't doubt that, I feel other brands offer more product and last longer. My favourite is Batiste. They have a 200 and 400ml cans and I know these are at least 50ml more then Garnier, I feel those are decent in how much product you get. 

Garnier is the same price as Batiste for less product and coupled with the disappointing lasting of the refreshed feel, I won't be buying this again. If you have fine, thin hair I think this will work for you or if he other brands of dry shampoo were too heavy for your hair.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $9 for 99g/150ml.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
