Batiste is going wild!

Here's the latest addition to the Batiste family, Sassy and darling, Wild.


Batiste explains it to be for daring girls who are in touch with their animal instinct. A feisty oriental fragrance with loads of personality, it's the perfect partner when you’re out on the prowl.


I can't say this is my favourite of their range, i always have my trusted hint of colour or blush cans in my room ready for when i need a quick refresh. However, the consistency of this one feels thicker and fuller than the others. 


To love:
The packaging
The smell
The size




Overall, i do like it, however they do have better products in their range. A great stocking filler for Christmas! 


You can pick Wild up from Boots for £2.99, for more information, visit the Batiste website

Batiste gets a makeover (and goes large)

 Batiste dry shampoo is a product i've been using for years, it helps refresh my hair when its oily or when it just needs a bit more life in it.  

As part of their new makeover, they have redesigned the packaging of their existing cans and increased the sizes of them from 150ml to 200ml, and also added a new size of 400ml! With the increase of sizes, does come the increase of cost, 200ml comes in at £2.99 and 400ml will cost you £4.99 (pretty reasonable for something that will last you a while!)

As you can see the new packaging has been thoroughly thought out by the Batiste team. The bright new can has better, thought out design and explanations (as well as images to show people who are unsure of how to use it) Something the old can was lacking. Also, the new lid looks much better with the new design, and pops off much easier (great if you only have one hand free!)

I don't know if the formulation has been changed or not, but the powder doesn't seem to be as white as it normally is. 

The new range of Batiste packaging.

Batiste is available from Boots, Superdrug, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, ASDA and Independent chemists. 

Batiste Tones

Here are the 3 new tones Batiste have recently released "with a hint of colour"

l-r:

Light and blonde hair

Medium and brunette hair

dark and deep brown hair

I think the new tone range is such a good idea. As someone with dark hair (and now even darker) its so good to be able to use dry shampoo and not have so much white to try and get rid of. Obviously, there is still some white powder along with the colour, but its much eaiser to blend in to your natural hair colour than it has been before. 

Here are some photos of the 3 colours sprayed onto my hand..

As you can see they still do have a bit of the white powder to them, but they are much better for people with coloured hair, especially darker colours.

I think the only problem i have with them is that they are only available in the 3 colours. There should definitely be one for redheads. Maybe that will be the next thing they introduce?

Have you seen these? Would you buy the coloured ones over the original?

Batiste Tones is available now for £3.05

Batiste: Now for all hair colours.

Ever have those days where you need to wash your hair, or jazz it up a little bit when its dull but don't have the time? I'm sure many of you, like me, reach for your Batiste dry shampoo. 

I also know, that lots of people are hesitant of using it because of the grey/white powder it gives off, well for those of you that are a bit of unsure of using it because of this, Batiste are introducing 3 new shades of Dry Shampoo. They Say "The three new variants, each with a hint of colour to complement light and blonde hair; medium and brunette hair and dark and deep brown hair" So no more worrying about weather your roots look slightly lighter than usual!

"introduced a range of dry shampoos with a hint of colour specifically designed to complement your hair colour whilst instantly giving you clean, fresh hair full of body and texture. Left in at the roots, it’s great for blending in regrowth on coloured or highlighted hair and can even disguise stray greys too. Brilliant for banishing oily roots and freshening-up dull, lifeless hair – Batiste Dry Shampoo can now bring a little colour to your life!"

New Batiste Dry Shampoo with a hint of colour £3.05 from Boots, Superdrug and all good retailers and pharmacies.
