Priceline 40% Off HairCare Haul!
I think I may singlehandedly be keeping Priceline in business with the amount of money I've been giving them lately! There was my Cosmetics Bag GWP Haul and hubby threw some cash their way to get me Lady Gaga's Fame, YSL's Parisienne and Katy Perry's Royal Revolution for Mother's Day in their fragrance sale, too. And there's still the Skincare GWP to go!
Let's talk HairCare, though. My hair has been giving me a fair bit of grief lately. It's naturally fine, but lately it's becoming increasingly difficult to inject some volume into it. I need to cut an inch or so off, as that usually gives me a little more body, but I'm getting frustrated with how flat and lifeless it appears. I use volume shampoo, conditioner and mousse plus various root booster sprays and thickening lotions, so I'm really throwing everything at it and I'm just not getting the results I used to. So I used the 40% off sale as an opportunity to buy a bunch of volumising products (plus a few extras) in the hopes of finding something that works well for me. Fingers crossed that something in this massive haul is a miracle worker!
Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume (x 2) - my favourite ever dry shampoo because it gives me extra volume from the roots. When this goes on special, I stock up, as it's a staple in my hair styling routine. Check out my mini-review here.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Light & Blonde - I use dry shampoo every day, so I go through it fairly fast. I've tried this before and just decided to get this to mix things up a bit.
L'Oreal Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Serum - I've gone through about four bottles of this, and when used daily, I can easily finish a bottle in a few weeks. If it's on special I'll get it, because it's a lovely product that does give my hair body, providing I scrunch it through properly. I'm not loving it as much as I used to, though, going by this post where it made my Favourites last year!
L'Oreal Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Shampoo - Another repurchase, because this one is quite good. I do have a fair few bottles of shampoo in the cupboard waiting to be used up at the moment though!
Fudge Root Juice - this is a 'medium hold root booster for extra volume and grunt'. I will give anything a go that claims to provide body from the roots and I'm loving a few other Fudge products at the moment, so hopefully this is just as good.
VO5 MattClay - I included one product for hubby, because it makes me feel slightly less guilty about this huge haul! I can also use this on my son's hair, so it was a no-brainer.
VO5 Give Me Texture Tousled Style Spray - I still don't know if texture is a good idea when you have fine hair, as you don't want it to go too piecey, but I'll give this a go. I'm thinking it will be similar to salt spray.
Toni & Guy Glamour 3D Volumiser - this sounds promising. I'm expecting miraculous results from this 'volume boost with a spritz of shine' spray. No pressure or anything!
Pantene Light Detangling Spray - I'll only need to use this right before I wash my hair. That's when it's at its tangliest. I don't blame it, with multiple days worth of dry shampoo, serums, various sprays and lacquer through it!
Schwarzkopf Ultime Sea Salt Texture Spray - I just finished off my Tigi Catwalk Session Series Salt Spray and thought I'd try this as a replacement. Schwarzkopf is a good brand and all salt sprays would be pretty similar ingredient-wise, wouldn't they?
I'm joining up with the Fabulous And Fun Life MakeUp Linky Party. Join in!
Have you used any of these products?

Nice haul - I like your choices :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! :)
DeleteThe tony and guy volumiser is really good, but careful not to use too much and leave the hair too greasy :)

Thanks for the tip, Pam! I used it today but just in my ponytail. Will keep this in mind when spritzing all over!
DeleteI've never tried the Batiste dry shampoo but obviously have heard a lot about it. The XXL Volume one sounds really promising. :]

It's really good for giving fine/flat hair volume from the roots! :)
DeleteHi Di! Looks like were both helping Pricelines bottom line hehe! Loved reading about your haul. Of all beauty related products, hair care is very neglected on my part, probably because I've been growing out my (4th!) Pixie cut since last October! I love reading about what works for other people, it takes a lot of guess work out of buying products! I'm looking for a salt spray type product so I'll try and find the Schwarzkopf product when I'm next in Priceline :) Great review as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina! It's so easy to pump money into Priceline, isn't it? Yeah I'm not finding much difference between salt sprays, so in that case, I'll go for the cheaper one! :)
DeleteI've got fine hair too that needs a trim and a volume boost. I look forward to reading your reviews once you've finished trying out all these products so I'll know which products to try myself :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the Monday Makeup Madness #7 link up party.
Fine hair is a pain isn't it? The Toni & Guy Volumiser is good so far!
DeleteWow you did good!! So many hair goodies! :D I have tried the Fibralogy range and it's great! Those Batiste products looks super pretty, I love the sparkly bottles! :) xo
ReplyDeleteI'm so addicted to Batiste dry shampoo it's not even funny. lol :) xx
DeleteAh amazing haul Di! I didn't pick up anything this time around but I can tell you that Toni & Guy product is amazing :)
