No One Does It Like Batiste

I am a massive fan of dry shampoos
and there is nothing like dry shampoo when you're in a hurry and you don't have 
time to wash your hair so you can’t be without a great bottle.

I tried Garnier Ultimate Blends The Revitalising 7 in 1 Dry shampoo
and it was half price in Dunnes so win win it was €3.00
And it promises to

Instantly cleanses
Absorbs grease at the roots
Light weight feel
Leaves hair feeling soft to the touch
Hair easy to detangle
Blissful fragrance
LEAVES NO VISIBLE RESIDUE.

I finally used it today on my 3 day old hair
(But firstly for the record my hair wasn't really greasy it didn't really 
need a spray but as I wanted to try it and review it I decided I would anyway.)

So armed with the can and hairbrush in hand I proceeded to try it,
it says on the label to shake well before use and to spray 15cm away 
from hair focusing on the roots
And to leave for 2 minutes before styling .

I did everything I was told I gave a couple of sprays all going well 
at first until the fragrance 
hit me lol I wasn't a major fan of the scent really
 overpowering and it didn't smell like a very clean scent it reminded me 
of a sickly cheap body spray but I gave it the benefit of the doubt.


I left it two minutes as it recommended it too then I brushed my hair as normal,
and what a major major disappointment
the result absolutely shambolic lol.

I never used a dry shampoo that actually made my hair greasier than before I used it 
my hair honestly looked like it hadn't being washed in months 
it was completely lank dull and lifeless,
I might as well of sprayed my hair with a cooking oil spray.

So I actually freaked out lol my hair never looked so bad and
I was actually frightened what this might do to my hair if I left it in
So I immediately jumped into the shower to wash my hair and get this mess out
Thank the Lord I decided to use it today when I wasn't in a hurry 
and I had actually time to wash my hair,
It would of being a major disaster otherwise lol.

None of what Garnier promises for this product were kept as it did none of it
and I am really disappointed I had to give Garnier Ultimate Blend dry shampoo such a bad review.
I had such high hopes for this and I couldn't wait to try it
as I normally love Garnier I thought it would of being a new favourite of mine but sadly no.
I will not be using it again and
I can safely say you can't beat Batiste an oldie but the definitely 
the best dry shampoo on the market.

So I definitely don't recommend this product to anyone at all,
but this just my own personal opinion and experience with the product
if you want to try it please do and let me know how you find it as I'd love to hear your personal views.

I hope you enjoyed reading my review guys
Stay tuned for my Lana Del Rey make up tutorial coming soon.
