COLAB Dry Shampoo Review

COLAB Dry Shampoo

Hey Sweeties,

You’ll remember I bought this product as part of my Feel Unique.com haul a couple of weeks ago and now I have had a chance to use it, I can tell you all what I think. So let’s do this!

First let’s start with the basics, the only other dry shampoo I have tried is from Baptiste and although others are of course available, I have just been too lazy I guess to seek them out. However, the dry shampoo market still has plenty of room for newcomers as there will always be a demand for this type of product and people always love options. For me, being a brunette, the one most annoying thing about using dry shampoo is the white powdery residue that despite tirelessly massaging in upon application, you can never be quite sure you’ve got it all which for times you’re in a rush, this isn’t good. So for me it’s great that finally, FINALLY someone has done something about this clear flaw and yet very obvious aspect to alter… let’s all take a moment to applaud Ruth Crilly/A Model Recommends!

COLAB London

There are four scents available –London, Rio, Tokyo and New York and I’ll be honest, I took a gamble and went outright for London based solely on hearing that this is a favourite with others so I figured I probably wouldn’t be going wrong by following the recommendation. It’s also got to be said that although scent is important here (great smelling hair is a joy to behold after all), I am more concerned with the outcome -something to cure my greasy limp hair before I can sink it under the shower which ultimately translates to needing a quick fix for when I am on the go. For those curious little bunnies, London is described as the ‘classic’ fragrance and I am so thankful it goes into detail on the bottle as no matter how many times I take a sniff, describing to you exactly what the London fragrance is will take me forever and quite honestly, neither you or me have that kind of time. London is ‘a contemporary fragrance of bergamot, musk and magnolia’. 

The packaging is clean, simple and compact with a slight texture to the bottle which gives it that extra something something and it also comes in a handy travel size for those quite literally on the go. At the moment, I don’t go anywhere so full sized products (of anything) are fine with me for now.

Overall I am really impressed with the product; for £3.50 (200ml) you can’t go wrong. I am most definitely converted to the COLAB brand and will be keen to see if anything more gets added to the range in the near future.

A big Sweetie thumbs up!

Until next time x

My First Feelunique.com Haul -Burts Bees, COLAB, Yes To & Rimmel

Feelunique.com haul

Hey Sweeties,

Last week while having a particularly stressful afternoon I found myself browsing Feelunique.com and before I knew it, I had a small haul in my online basket! This is the first time I have purchased from the site and I was definitely on more of a skincare search than I was make-up… for that I always prefer to buy in store. But with beauty, although a girl can never have enough… the products I am seeking at the moment are a little more high end and therefore I am reserving for my Christmas list and January when I do my next big blowout. For skincare, I feel I am really lacking in both knowledge and products, particularly as we’re heading into the colder months of the year -now is the time to ensure my face and body are well prepared and taken care of, so this is the focus of my shopping (haulin’) and my reading at the moment!

I am an avid watcher of YouTube and subscribe to many of the popular beauty channels such as; Vivianna Does Makeup, Lily Pebbles, In the Frow, Zoella, Tanya Burr etc. etc. and when I see them use various cleansers and things I scribble down the names only to find that when I research them, they cost about £40+ -basically way over my price range! I have no doubt those products are the best on the market but right now, they are just not an option for me to purchase. So, like many of my hauls and beauty purchases I have made so far this year, I am finding a lot of the products myself pretty much from scratch, which is no bad thing but sometimes you do miss that big sisterly advice and a gentle shove in the right direction.

FYI I will do a review of each of the products individually as well as a broader post on cleansers and skincare once I have had a good chance to try them out but for now, here is a closer look at what I purchased:
