Bumble & Bumble Foam Wash Shampoo

By now you've probably noticed many of these shampoo reviews popping up in your blog feed. Every one I've seen so far has given Bumble and Bumble a big thumbs up for awesome beachy locks. My thoughts are more along the lines of a half smile and "that's cool". To set the scene, I  have quite thick hair which when not frizzy is the nice kind of volume that you want. It's also quite wavy and I thought this shampoo would give it the push it needed towards nice elegant waves.

Surf Foam Wash Shampoo definitely foams (as the name suggests) and it feels lovely to massage into your hair and it gives it a good ol' clean. It terms of its shampooing ability it gets a 10/10 but then so do many others that are half the price! It didn't enhance the volume of my hair but it did settle my waves and once my hair air dries it looks light and bouncy which I love! For some reason though, if I blow dry my hair after using this shampoo it turns into more of a fuzz ball. 

I've used this a handful of times so far and I do like its awesome foamyness and fresh scent but it's the kind of shampoo that you cannot use without conditioner. I'm not usually fussy on this because I like spray leave-in conditioners but that wasn't enough here. I had to use a proper heavy conditioner otherwise my hair felt coarse, dry and matted. 

Ultimately, it's haircare to treat yourself with. Perfect for Summer and if you have the time to conditioner well everytime you use it. If you're a daily hair washer I would recommend switching it up throughout the week too. I'm glad I gave this a whirl and I'm sure the household will enjoy it too but for the price it's not something I'd consider purchasing again. I still love your Tonic Shampoo B&B so, no hard feelings?

Three Weekly #6

This week's most loved stems from the final marathon run of revision, late nights and exams. University is finally over and now I get to spend time exploring new projects, ideas and having fun! But before I get into that I'll talk a bit about these reliable favourites. The Origins Plantscription concealer and Laura Mercier orange/yellow corrector have been the perfect duo to hide my dark circles courtesy of late nights and stress.

We've only had a few really hot days so I can't say that the Avene Thermal Spring Water was great for keeping cool but it is nice to use after washing your face to balance the pH of the skin and as a refreshing extra - just because it's fun to spray things. Whilst off on project "make a house a home" I'll be spritzing this throughout the day, I'm sure.

My desk is quite the nest of revision notes but once I'm set with a tidy workspace and a clear mind, I'll be blogging a lot more and will hopefully have some exciting things to share!

Enjoy the weekend!
