Review: Lee Stafford - Dry Shampoo for oily roots :)


Hello everyone! Another post from UniqaPoly :) Today I'll write about a dry shampoo  I have tried some time ago, it's been empty for about a month now... still I finally managed to write a review of it :) And it's Lee Stafford dry shampoo for oily roots, for brown hair :)

When I bought it at DM store I had a discount coupon, so it wasn't so expensive, otherwise it's about 11 euros I think.. which is quite a lot for a dry shampoo.

You get a tin can in bright pink shade, inside you get 150ml of dry shampoo. Use is very simple, just spray it whereever and whenever you feel like your hair needs some pick up ;) Personally I use dry shampoo only when I really don't have time to wash my hair and when I have a lot to do, so this bottle lasted me really long, for about 3 months. I really don't use much of these kind of products, but when I do I expect them to work.

Basically, dry shampoo is a powder in a tin can that you spray on , rub it in so it doesn't show white on your hair and you are ready to go! But don't rub it too much, it's best if you have a good brush with natural bristles :)







I have been quite dissapointed with this one, because it's for brown hair and all it really does is get's your hair kinda more matte than shiny, which is what you want, but that lasts maybe a couple of hours on me. It doesn't buy me a whole day and I can still see my hair actually looks ok, but still greasy, you can see I didn't wash my hair. I have tested before some by Balea, Syoss and I must say all dry shampoos work on me quite the same. They make my hair look a bit better for 4 hours max, than it's back to greasy unwashed hair. Since this is quite a lot more expensive than the ones I have read about and used myself, I have expected it to be a bit more effective. Unfortunately on me it's not that good that I would want to go and buy it again. I get the same effect from a regular Balea dry shampoo and the price difference is over 8euros...




I like the scent of the product, kinda fresh something... I like that it still does the job, but I was maybe expecting a bit too much. I thought if this one is so well known and people like it maybe I'll too, but unfortunately this really didn't impress me. If you have really greasy roots than this one won't really work for you. If you have greasy hair more than roots ( don't ask me how this is possible), than this might just work for you. To cover up unwashed hair, especially roots, this simply doesn't really cut it. It's an overall ok product, also comes in shades for blondes, but personally I wouldn't buy it again, especially since I can get the same effect from Balea dry shampoo, which costs around 3 euros. :)



Thanks for reading and hope this was useful to you!

NEW in April :)


Hello everyone! Today's post is about my new products I got (bought) this month,  this April. :) This is also going to be a start of new series of posts, because I like to have an overlook over the things I buy and also this will kinda make me review them faster :) I thought it would be a good idea to have some sort of an online monthly diary where I could post about my new products and keep in touch with what is new and when I got it, when I started to use it :)

Here are photos of my new products :) 

And the list of everything new :)

- Balea Bodyspray Brazil mango (limited edition)
- Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo for dark hair
- Bourjois 1 seconde nail polish in 17 Gris nightomic and 03 Beige distinction
- Deborah Milano Shine Tech Gellike nail polish in 08 and 10
- Bourjois Effet 3D MAX gloss long lasting  8H in 17 Grenade juicy
- Essence Long lasting eye pencil in 01 black fever 
- Sephora mono eyeshadow in Me Jane no. 75
- Catrice Geometrix LE Kabuki brush
- L'Oreal False Lash Wing and as a gift I got Volume Million Lashes Diamantissime :) (both in black)
- Alverde shower gel Cherry Chai LE


Another bingo for me! I love this fruity scent! I am already thinking of buying also shower gels that come with this LE, they smell great!



Haven't tried this one yet, but I hope it will be as good as I have read online :)




So far I had time to try on both Bourjois nail polishes and I like them botj, but the Gris Nightomic could be darker, it's more silvery than it looks in the bottle. The beige one is also a good one :) From Deborah I have tried only number 10, the blue one, and it's great, one coat covers all! :)


Bourjois lip gloss I only tested and it seems I'm gonna have trouble with appliaction, it was hard to get an even colour all over my lips. The Essence pencil is a re-purchase, it's really good for the price and I didn't want to search for a new good quality black pencil because I was kinda in a hurry. Sephora eyeshadow is my first, I have never tried it before, also my first Sephora product ever. I got it as a gift from a friend who went to Amsterdam :) We don't have Sephora in Slovenia. I only had time to swatch it on my hand and it's a great shimmery greenish colour :)


This kabuki brush is available only in LE, so grab it while you can. I haven't tested it yet :)


Two new mascaras for the price of one :) Haven't tried it yet because I try to empty the ones I have or.. dry them until they are ready for the trash can :P



This smells sooo goood! Already using it and it's great! As good as all the Alverde shower gels I have had until now :)

So now you know what awaits to be tested and reviewed :) Anything you like and would like to read a review first? Anything you also have at home and is good for you too? Let me know if you have any preferences what would you like to read about first :) Anyway I will try to make a review of everything, but I already have some posts prepared that are also waiting for my lazy ass to move so.. I'm really looking forward to all the photographing and testing and swatching and writing about it :) It's so much fun!

Thanks for reading!
