Review: Batiste Dry Shampoo Plus Divine Dark

I’ve been meaning to do a review on Batiste Dry Shampoo Divine Dark. I usually stay away from dry shampoos due to my really bad experience in the past with dry shampoos. Here’s an example of one — Hask Biotin Boost Thickening Dry Shampoo. I was very skeptical trying Batiste out, but I’m glad I did. Here’s more about Batiste Dry Shampoo Divine Dark before I share my thoughts on it.

Review:

You know what, I liked this dry shampoo. It didn’t leave my hair dry or crispy feeling. It removed the natural oils from my scalp without (once again) drying my hair out. It did add a hint of color to my hair, but I didn’t care much for it. I just loved how it made my hair smell good and feel clean without having to wash my hair. I wash my hair every day. Still, my scalp gets oily and smells awful by the end of the day. I have heard that washing your hair every day is bad. With my hair type, I have to wash my hair every day. I’ve tried skipping washings before. It didn’t work out. That’s just my hair type. When I don’t wash my hair in the morning (at night I do), I enjoy using a dry shampoo to give my hair some volume. Batiste works. I would have to try the other ones they have. Would I recommend this? Yes. 👍

Review: Maybelline Fit Me! Loose Finishing Powder

I decided to try a loose powder over a compact powder. I hardly ever use a loose powder because it’s messy. The texture and overall result using a loose powder is very different. It clings to the skin much differently. I find it to be more patchy and uneven. Anyways, I’ve never tried Maybelline Fit Me! Loose Finishing Powder before, and there’s nothing wrong with trying something new. Let’s see what happens!

Review on Maybelline Fit Me! Loose Finishing Powder:

I’ve used this loose powder a couple of times. I didn’t enjoy it. It made my skin look dry and made my pores look larger. I have the one in Fair. The shade works on my skin, but I simply didn’t like the way it made my skin look. While making my skin look extremely dry and pores larger, it also accentuated fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It’s a no-go. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Don’t buy it.

Love, Jen
