The good the bad and the ugly: Dry shampoo

Hey guys!

I'm sorry I've been MIA! I can't guarantee I'm going to keep up with two posts a week  but I sure will try.

I'm coming back with a new series, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. This week I'm starting off with dry shampoo.

Most of us are stuck in our ways with dry shampoo, heading straight for batiste. I love batiste but for those of us with dark hair the white caste is just so hard to get rid of, even the ones made for dark hair seem to make me look grey.

I have been searching for so long for a dry shampoo that gives me lasting volume and tames that pesky grease that just seems to come out of nowhere.

Before we get into the the good, the bad and the ugly, here are some of my honourable mentions.

Vo5: Isn't too bad, the white caste is minimal but even the one dedicated to volume weighed my hair down and definitely didn't give me any volume.

Trésemee: Another one that's not bad but not really that good. The white caste is a little bit more prominent compared to VO5 and no volume again.

Girls only: This one is made for those of us with dark hair and there is still an off colour to it. It does give me some volume but it doesn't last.



The Good: Co lab by Ruth Crilley aka A model recommends.

Extreme volume & Sheer Invisible.

I fell in love with this one the first time I used it! So much that I went out and bought the entire range just for this post. There are five scents, New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and Rio. All of them smell like they advertise but Paris is most definitely not floral. I'm torn between New York and Rio they both have that fruity smell I love.

I bought Tokyo in the sheer invisible range just to see the difference ans it definitely is invisible even on my dark hair! There is a slight white caste but as long as you shake it well it's great!!

If you don't really care too much about volume the sheer invisible ones are pretty much the holy grail of dry shampoos.

The Bad: Aussie.

I only have one thing to say about the Aussie dry shampoo. It made my hair more greasy! How does that even work?!

The Ugly: Batiste

Now I know I'm going to get some hate for this but i just can't deal with the white caste that batiste gives me. Even though the tropical one is by far my favourite smell ever! I can't justify it now that so many brands are coming out with dry shampoos. I'm not saying it's bad at all it just doesn't give me what I want from a dry shampoo.



Quick Diet update.

It's pretty much gone out the window since Easter. Daytime is fine but the minute I finish work I get that Sainsbury's feeling and end up going crazy!

Give it a few weeks and ill be back in diet mode. Until then I'm not going to post anything health related just because I feel like a bit of a hypocrite if I'm blogging about things I don't fully believe in.




Until next time.

The British tag.

Hey guys! Happy April fools day!!, I'm sorry I missed Sunday's post, Ive been all over the place this week! :(

Since i only remembered it was Wednesday at 6am this morning here's a lovely post that I wrote for a time like this. I love doing tags so I just had to do the British tag!! Enjoy!



1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?

Don't all hate me but I just don't care for tea. I'm sorry I know, I'm British I should love the stuff! 

2. Favourite part of your roast?

Yorkshire puds all the way!! Stuffing is a close second but those Yorkshires they're just my weakness.

3. Favourite dunking biscuit?

Since I don't drink tea, I don't really dunk. I'm not even really a biscuit person either but my biscuit of choice would be a good old chocolate digestive.

4. Favourite quintessentially British pastime?

Afternoon tea... Just without the tea. Give me a beer instead.

5. Favourite word?

Indestructible. Not a clue why it's just a good, 'strong' word. (Pun intended)

6. Cockney rhyme slang?

James blunt- cunt.
It's a naughty one but by far my favourite, probably because that's my favourite swear word.

7. Favourite sweet?

I'm not counting chocolate here because when someone says sweets it's not what I think of. 
Bonbons, they are quite literally made by angels.

8. What would your pub be called?

How is this the toughest question?! I'll have to go with the 'Horse and Groom' or anything horsey.

9. No.1 British person?

Good old queeny! I'm such a royalist.

10. Favourite shop / Restaurant?

H&M for the shop and honestly I couldn't thing of a restaurant, not a chain anyway that's quintessentially British. I do love pub grub though it's just so comforting.

11. What British song pops into your head?

Anything by the spice girls! 

12. Marmite?

Only when I'm hungover, a tad of butter and thin layer of marmite cures me right up.


Sorry it's only a short post this week, hopefully I''l be back into the swing of things by next week!

Until next time.
