When we speak about dry shampoos, the choice is endless. I personally spend more time picking dry shampoos than regular ones. The formula, the packaging, the smell and the price... Marketing makes you stay in these shop for ages, not that I complain. 

So today I have a new asset to my collection. I picked it up some time ago in December in Superdrug. By far I have only seen three kinds: The Volume Booster, Colour Savior and Instant Fresh. The reason why I get dry shampoos is mainly because I have a lack of volume in the roots of my hair, therefore I got the Volume Booster. The first thing I love about it and you definitely notice is the smell. Very obvious but it does smell pretty nice to me. Quite fresh and it doesn't stay as much. It is white as most of the dry shampoos but you just need a towel to rub in your hair and then comb it through. The cons is that to me it seems a bit sticky something I haven't experienced with dry shampoos so far. It's almost like a hairspray formula so I stopped spraying it on my roots. Instead when I curl my hair I spray it on the curls and brush them out. It does gives them volume and I also noticed that they stay longer. Would I recommend it? I will to anyone who doesn't mind spraying hairspray in their roots as well.

As a lover of French cosmetic brands, I couldn't resist the temptation of trying one of the most famous skin care brands - La Roche-Posay. On a recent trip to the UK along with many other products I also picked up not one but several of their Effaclar series which is designed for sensitive oily skin. In this post I will review on of my two favorites.

Now the first product that I picked up was of course the their top product - La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ and having in mind all of the great comments I read about it, my expectations were going through the roof. Which also happen to be proven right. The consistency of the cream is light and it sinks in the skin quickly. It definitely works wonders if you use if for a longer period of time, though it really isn't hydrating enough. The most common problem with creams that are targeted for oily or combination skin is that they completely suck out the moisture out of your face. I still use it day and night, though I would recommend to anyone who lives in cold weather or harsh conditions such as wind or if you just have very sensitive skin to consider using a moisturizer on top. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a product that isn't too heavy and it makes you complexion look brighter and your pores smaller. It also does wonder for pigmentation with time. It could be picked up in most pharmacies in Europe for about £15. It also comes in a small plastic tube which is very easy to use.

Disclaimer: There are several formulas of this specific product. Mine was bought in Boot, UK.- European one.

The next one that I picked up was the Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel and on various sites I noticed that people were complaining that the gel wouldn't make any foam when applied. What I think though is quite different. I am very pleased with how little you need of this gel. And when you use it, it gets very foam-y. It cleans you skin leaving it fresh without traces of any make-up  and it doesn't make it feel tight afterwards. Another plus of the product is that is with Ph 5.5, a simple solution to sensitive skin. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice cleansing face gel for sensitive skin. It ranges from small plastic tubes to big ones. The price about a 125ml one is about £11.

Along with these two amazing skin care products I got a toner,La Roche-Posay Spring Water, The Effaclar K and Effaclar Mat. To see that review stay updated by following the blog and leaving comments below. Hope you are having a lovely day,
