Dana VS: Suave Dry Shampoo [Ad]

Hello again my friends!

Today I'm going to start out saying that this product I'm reviewing was sent to me for free for reviewing purposes. Would that make this sponsored in a way? I guess so! Thanks Influenster!

So I was sent the Suave Professionals Moroccan infusion Weightless Dry Shampoo... what a mouthful! I have only used a few different kinds of dry shampoo before so I don't have very many bad (or good) experiences so far. 

I tried this shampoo the week before going on vacation, which is also the week after I moved. So showing regularly had not been a top priority. However, using this dry shampoo, it really made it hard to tell if my hair was clean or "fake" clean. It really made my hair feel soft and gave it the volume it was missing.

Now normally when my hair gets more than the usual two day old it can become pretty greasy. It flattens and just kind of goes lifeless, so adding volume and masking the grease is exactly what I'm looking for. 

In the past, I've had a couple good experiences with Moroccan oil so I knew it'd do good things for my hair, but this dry shampoo worked really well. It lifted at the roots and absorbed the oil fairly quickly (even though I usually spray before I go to sleep so it works into the hair) and it smells amazing too.

Overall, I really am glad I was sent this product. It worked well for me and I'll most likely repurchase.

Until next time,

Dana

Dana VS: Influenster Blush VoxBox

Hello all! I know it's been a long while since I've posted, a whole year some could say! (Very late 2016 joke, I know)

Well I wanted to talk about something that I found a while back and have sort of fell in love with over the past month. And that's Influenster! If you haven't heard of Influenster, it's a website/app that provides free samples to up and coming bloggers, vloggers, or interested parties! I got an email one day saying that this box was soon to be heading my way and I got so excited! I had no idea what was going to be in there so you can see my raw surprise over on my YouTube channel!

I got a whole variety of products and now that I've had a chance to test pretty much all of them, I feel confident in telling you what I liked and didn't.

First, I got a travel/trial size of the Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant in the scent 'Ooh-la-la Lavender'. I absolutely loved the scent. It smelled fresh, light, and very lavender-y. It was almost like a perfume. Usually I hate when my deodorant has a strong smell because it could irritate my underarm area and this did not at all. It lasted all day and worked very well. I loved it!

Next, I got a set of Ardell lashes. If you've followed my YouTube channel, you'd know that I've never worn false lashes before and frankly the idea of applying them terrified me. But seeing as I got them for free (normally, Ardell lashes are around $5) I felt like I could really try it out and I wouldn't have wasted any money. It came with lash glue and instructions on the back and I really appreciated it!

I also got a set of Pantene Expert shampoo and conditioner. The scent wasn't my favorite, it was kind of an artificial chocolate scent. It was somewhat off-putting but it didn't bother me too much after the shower. The feel of the shampoo and conditioner was soft and it really made my hair feel soft and moisturized. I got a good four or five washes out of the bottles so it was a decent sized sample. Overall, I liked what the shampoo and conditioner did to my hair, but I didn't really enjoy the scent.

Lastly I got a full size (I think) packet of Simple Micellar Wipes. I'd heard amazing things about the Micellar water technology from a billion people and I had always wanted to try the Simple brand because they were, as they are called, made with simple ingredients. The wipes worked wonderfully, taking off all my makeup and even my Kylie Jenner lipkit. It did struggle on taking off the Covergirl Supersizer mascara which is the most impossible mascara to remove in my experience so far. But other than that, I LOVE these wipes!

All in all, I feel like I'll actually go out and buy at least half of the samples I got! Which for a completely free box, is amazing! Check out Influenster to see if you qualify for their upcoming boxes!
