L'Oreal Studio Express Refresh Dry Shampoo // Review

I've not written a blog post in well over a week, due to going on holiday to Marbs (which was amazing!) as well as dealing with some family stuff which is going on. So I thought I'd tap out a quick review to distract myself from everything, and today it's a review of a dry shampoo by L'Oreal.

I'm a lover of dry shampoo and have been for ages; when I was younger my hair used to get really greasy very quickly. I used the Batiste stuff for years but I never felt like it did an amazing job. So when I stumbled upon this in Home Bargains I decided to give it a try. Can you tell I like discounted beauty items yet?

Mine is the 'Body Builder' version which has pink detailing on the can, but I believe there are two others in the range - 'Volume Kick' and another which I'm not too sure of. They retail for around the £4 mark, but I got mine for £1.49! It's quite a "strong" aerosol, meaning you might want to open some windows because it's quite overpowering, but it smells nice and it makes me hair feel as if I've just washed it, which no other dry shampoo has ever done before. It genuinely does give my hair some body too.




The downside is that it does leave white marks in your hair. While this isn't a problem for someone with white blonde hair, like myself, it wouldn't work for those of you with darker hair. Other than that I can't fault this product whatsoever, especially if I can get it that cheap!

My Favourite Soap & Glory Products // Top 5

Soap & Glory are one of my favourite brands, and luckily they're one of the very few brands that don't irritate my eczema, which is always a positive! I thought I'd put together a post about the top 5 products that I recommend.

#1 - The Scrub Of Your Life // £7.00 This an oil-based body scrub with micro beads inside; having tried other body scrubs that haven't done much for me I was sceptical - but this is truly amazing. It makes my skin feel so soft and nourished, and the beads aren't too harsh. Plus, like I'll say for every product no doubt, it smells bloody fantastic. I can't find this on the Boots website, but I got it for my birthday earlier this month so I assume it's still a thing!

#2 - Sugar Crush Body Wash // £6.50 Oh my god this smells amazing. It's such a lovely milky creamy consistency but it lathers well and always makes me feel squeaky clean and lovely jubbly. Definitely my favourite shower gel EVER.

#3 - The Righteous Butter // £10.50 I think this is one that almost everyone has tried - it's the original Soap & Glory scent, which is amazing, and it's just such a nice 'luxurious-feeling' body butter. It sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy film or anything gross like that. I love it.

#4 - Glad Hair Day Shampoo // £5.50 This is quite expensive for a shampoo but if I had the money it would definitely be my everyday shampoo! Not only does it obviously smell gorgeous, it left my hair looking and feeling silky soft when I used it.

#5 - Mist You Madly Body Spray // £6.50 This means you can have the scent of Soap & Glory on you at all times! The bottle will easily fit in your handbag and the smell lasts quite a while despite not being too overpowering, so it's definitely worth it.
