Review : The Body Shop Banana Shampoo

Hi Guys :) Happy New Year! Today I'm trying out the new (or was it around for ages?) Blogger app on my iPad, so let's see how this goes haha. The layout might be slightly different and stuff, but if this works out well, I will be blogging more often since it's more convenient. I know, how lazy, right? Anyway, If you've been following me on instagram, you know I recently purchased the Banana Shampoo from The Body Shop. I felt like a lot of people wanted to hear my thoughts on this product so here it is- a review! :).

Scent ? Smells like straight up bananas or banana milk. Honestly, I'm not too crazy about the scent, but I don't hate it at the same time.I find that it doesn't linger for too long on my hair.
Texture ? It has a gel consistency like other shampoos. Lathers well, but not too crazy like the big shampoo from Lush.
Pros ?
- Very nourishing, great for dry/ dull hair (like mine :/)
- makes the hair super shiny
- made with community trade banana purée
- scent is not too strong after rinsing with water
- container is made from recycled plastic
Cons?
- expensive
- doesn't come in a bigger bottle. I believe they only carry the 250ml ones which seems like 15-20 uses for me (I have shoulder length hair). However, I feel like this shampoo is more of a "nourishing shampoo" rather than a "clarifying shampoo", so I don't use it everyday.
Value ? $8 for 250ml (8.4oz). So if you are interested in this shampoo, I do recommend getting this on sale.
Overall Rating ? 4/5
Repurchase ? Maybe. Only because I like trying out new things. It's a great shampoo overall and I do recommend it.

So that was my short review on the banana shampoo! Hope you liked it and thanks for stopping by ;)

Haul : Duty Free and The Body Shop

Hi Ladies~ :)

So how can you go on a trip without doing some duty free shopping, right? Personally, it's my favorite part of all, but only if I had more money... sigh... Here is my *very restrained* haul for you haha. Oh and I added two more things from The Body Shop just in case you wondered ;).

1. CLARINS Whitening Repairing Night Cream

I think it's called the 'Brightening Repairing Night Cream' or whatever in the States... guess this is for Asian countries, since 'Whitening (화이트닝)' is very popular over there. Basically they are the same thing, but with different names. Besides the confusing naming system, this works wonders! Super moisturizing and not too thick.

2. O HUI Intensive Sunblock Cake

This is a back up. I have been using this since I was 20, and it's my best friend in the summer time :). I tried several sun screen products, but this is the only one that doesn't make me look greasy. I can tell you now that it does give a white cast, but I don't mind that much, since I apply it on my neck and chest as well.

3. ANNA SUI Mini Rouge in 303

I always loved Anna Sui's lip products, because they are very moisturizing. Not to mention the amazing rose scent! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

4. Grapeseed Glossing Serum

I used to use this hair serum when I was in high school and kind of wanted to try it again for some reason. It's not the best one in the world, but it works and smells amazing. Plus, I think it was only $12.

5. Olive Body Scrub

This is my second tub and I love this, because the scent is not too over powering. Also, It's not too harsh or smooth to the skin.

Hope you enjoyed :) and Happy 4th of July!
