Pantene Clarifying Shampoo


I was sceptical to try this shampoo because Pantene as a whole just does not do amazing things for my hair. I was surprised by this shampoo though as it does what it says it will. Generally a clarifying shampoo is used to clean your hair of left over hair products that weigh your hair down and makes it look greasy.
You definitely don't use this shampoo as an every day shampoo because your hair will feel like hay its so drying. I use this every month or so when I can feel my hair is weighed down and oily.
It literally leaves nothing behind but hair that looks fuller and cleaner. I try not to put conditioner on all over my hair - you're not supposed to anyways- I just put conditioner on my very ends. You don't need to use a lot of shampoo, a tiny dollop in the palm of your hand will go a long way. I will say though that I don't like how dry it makes your hair but I understand why since its a clarifying shampoo. But still...

Also I noticed you can use this product if you've dyed your hair a certain colour and maybe its gone too dark. It almost strips some of the colour away which for me is perfect since I dye my hair brown but it comes out way too dark. So that's an added bonus to this product.

All in all its a thumbs up from me and I'd definitely repurchase it.

Random Facts About Me

Today I thought I should do a post about myself so that my few readers can get to know me a little bit better. If you don't want to know anything about me and just like my posts about various products, there'll be one up tomorrow so don't stress :)

My Wishlist



This is pretty much my wishlist, not for a particular month, just a list of things I would like and hopefully will get in the near future. ie seen the Elizabeth Arden Highlighter online and I'll be ordering it very soon. It's a beautiful rose gold highlighting blush... sounds good right?
The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation is available in Edgars but everytime I go there to get one, they either don't have one for my skin colour or they are out of stock - literally everytime I go there, I'm not kidding! I haven't seen the Bourjois Healthy Mix Blush in stock yet either in Edgars. Someone is sending me a message that I'm not supposed to own anything from Bourjois - I'm refusing to listen to you, whoever you are!

The Edgars near me doesn't even stock Bobbi Brown things but I will get the Lilac Rose Collection one day! None of the shops in my area even sell NARS - shock! horror! - and when I look online they don't have one for my skin tone. The Clinique High Impact Mascara is a little too pricey when I've seen it in Edgars but I will save up and get myself this beauty!

Stila is sold online, I know that much, but they have not yet started selling the cream blushes so I am waiting patiently for that day! I have found the Urban Decay 2 Palette online - success! - and I will order it next week! No shops sell Urban Decay here. (I know - pure shock, you can close your mouth now.)

Now after writing this post I have noticed that I seem to be living under a rock and this rock is a particularly boring rock that hardly sells any good products. I have also noticed that I have very bad luck with products that are either out of stock or just don't suit me. I. Give. Up. (not really I promise)

How bad is my luck??
Is your wishlist similar? Or if you own any of these things please let me know what they are really like?

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate


Oh. My. Goodness. This lipstick! It astounds me, really, it's so amazing. It's soft and lasts for a long time. I got the shade 05 and it's like lip colour except better. I always go for colours that are my lip colour because most lipsticks just don't suit me. Which is why I bought this colour. find when I apply this it almost goes on like a matte lipstick but smoother which is why I put lip balm on before because I like that glossy look - not over glossy look, just moisturised look. I have to reapply this about 3 times during the day which is a lot better than most lipsticks. It survived the "tea test" too - that's when you have a cup of tea and your lipstick is still on by the time you've finished your cuppa tea - and that is the ultimate challenge for lipsticks.

I find myself reaching for this lipstick a lot over my other lipsticks. The packaging of a lipstick is also important and there was something that just drew me in with this little tube. Maybe the matte black with the red "Kate" on it? Or the sturdy look of it - where you can through it in your handbag and it won't break or the lid won't pop off.

I would recommend this lipstick for all girls that love a good great lipstick. Especially this colour if you're into subtle colours like me :)
