Advantages: Cheap, nice packaging, does the job well Disadvantages: Isn't that effective as a conditioner, is (very possibly) tested on animals
I bought Herbal EssencesMoistureBalancing Shampoo plus Conditioner in Bodycare, for £1.25. I usually switch between Head&Shoulders, and Pantene, but this time I wanted a change, and chose this, mainly because of the cheapness!
The picture on Ciao for this shampoo doesn't match up to mine, but I've checked and mine is definitely in the right category, so maybe the pictures have been confused, as there's a lot in the HB range.
The bottle is clear, with light purple shampoo and the writing is in white. The sticker on the back with all the information on has a picture of a plant on the back of it, giving a sort of goldfish bowl effect. The flip-lid is dark green. It would look quite classy, but I think the green lid spoils the effect!

seemingly empty tubes still have a good few applications left in them before you break the seal on the new tube.

I have recently been tempted by another tinted moisturiser by Stila, but for excellent coverage without looking like I'm wearing a mask, this is the one for me. Being a part of the Inner Light range, this also gives me a bit of a perked up look, unlike some foundations I've tried ...
Advantages: Effective, does what it claims to, doesn't weigh hair down Disadvantages: None, really - but rinse it out well!
I never ever seem to get to the end of my shampoo and conditioner simultaneously, and a few months ago when I got to the end of my Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner (which was OK, but slightly too heavy for my hair) I decided to give Charles Worthington's range another go and I'm glad I did. It seems to be just the thing for my hair.
The change in water between university and home confused my hair over three years and by the time I finished studying, it had changed from a mop that could look greasy if left unwashed two nights running to this puzzled thing with drier roots than I'd ever had since I hit my teens. After much experimentation (including a brief infatuation with the Think Happy Organic Surge range which came to an end when Boots discontinued it) my hair needed moisture desperately. Charles Worthington's Dream Hair range had ...
