My Batiste Dry Shampoo Collection

Yes, I have a Batiste dry shampoo 'collection'...

Over the past year or so, I have gathered quite the collection of Batiste cans.

I love Batiste!
Seriously, dry shampoo is one of the best beauty product inventions, ever.

Batiste is a saviour.
No more bad hair days, just Batiste Hair Days!
#BatisteHairDay
Batiste is my favourite dry shampoo. I've tried others and none have lived up to Batiste's standards! Batiste is cheaper, the product works better, it does not leave hair heavy or chalky and the can designs are so pretty. Batiste have 3 sizes: mini, regular and large.

They come in handy.
They last so long.
The bottles are pretty.

The above being main reasons for which I have such a large collection! I can't get rid of them and I often pick up cans if they are on offer, or when new variants are released.

I'm a hoarder and I hoard Batiste...

I use my Batiste, not only on days where I haven't had time to wash my hair, or my hair is feeling like it needs a freshen up, but also, when I want some volume or matt-look hair.
Having long hair, I do find that smells cling to it, like the greasy spoon deli where I would return from the milk run, to then sit in the office with hair smelling of grease (nothing really worse than that, yuck!). Luckily, I always have a can of Batiste in my office drawer, or in my handbag, so I use it to freshen my hair and rid me of horrendous smells.

It is a complete essential when I rock out at Download Festival every summer. I always have a can of Batiste in my tent. Gotta keep fresh whilst I'm rocking out and partying in fields :) I met a guy at Download last year, who had a large can of Batiste Tropical in his tent, I thought that was quite cool. Guys love Batiste too.

Even when I had crazy Cyber Purple hair, Batiste worked a treat! Unlike another dry shampoo, which looked hideously chalky on my purple locks!

Where do I store all these cans?
Well, I keep them in the goodie bag that I got at the Batiste Lace launch last year. I like to find ways to re-use, rather than throw things away and the Batiste bag has really come in handy.


A while back, I had some nail art inspiration from the Batiste Cherry, when it first came out in stores. My Batiste Cherry inspired nail art went down a storm, which was great and Batiste loved it :)


I would recommend Batiste and often recommend it to friends, family and fellow bloggers.
I'm always shocked when people tell me they have not tried it, or not heard of Batiste before!

There are so many variants now, different looks, different scents, XXL Volume. I'm not sure I could pick a favourite, though I have always been fond of Wild.


My collection includes:
Shimmer x2, Boho, XXL x2, Blush large, Limited Edition Hershesons, Graffiti, Paisley
Lace x2, Cherry x2, Wild, Tropical regular and mini, Blush mini x2

 A closer look...

 Blush, Tropical and Boho:

Boho, I actually didn't realise I had, until I found it in my 'box of unused products'.

XXL Volume:
1 purchased and 1* from the #NorthMeetUp goodie bag.
Read about the event here and the goodie bag here.

Silver Shimmer:
I got these on offer in Boots clearance.
Glittery dry shampoo!

I have also reviewed:
Batiste Lace and you can read about the fabulous Batiste Lace launch event here.
Batiste Cherry - you can check out my cherry nail art there too...

I remember when there was just 1 Batiste, Original. It's great to see how many they have since released!
For more information on Batiste variants, click here.
There are a couple not on here, including the Wild Party Trio of minis, which was released around Christmas. I haven't tried those!
More recently, Batiste have introduced coloured dry shampoo to the collection.
I can't wait for Batiste to bring out their next variant and I'm excited to find out what the next one will be!

Batiste can be found in Boots, Superdrug, Bodycare, supermarkets, pharmacies, online.

Are you a Batiste fan?
Have you tried Batiste?

Just call me Zoe, the Batiste Queen...

I just love Batiste dry shampoo and want to share/product rave about them! A couple of the bottles in this post were gifted to me, or included in goodie bags from events, but the majority were purchased by me, with my own money. As always, all opinions are my own and reviews are 100% honest.

Product RAVE: Soap & Glory Hand Food and Batiste 'Wild'

Hey girlies :)

Tonight's post is a bit of a product rave!

So, last night I finally got round to trying out my Soap & Glory Hand Food, which I recently purchased during Boots Advantage Card event and OMG...
THIS STUFF IS A-MAZING!!
I used a tiny bit before bed and this morning woke up to my hands feeling ridiculously soft!
Hand Food was chucked straight in my handbag and accompanied me to work today :)
I used it a few times (though it didn't need re-applying!).
My hands feel SO SO soft and smell lovely, of Soap & Glory's signature 'Mist You Madly' scent :) Mmm...
Seriously girls, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! Perfect for the cold Winter months and keeping those hands nice and moisturised.
It is also non-greasy!
Can Soap & Glory do any wrong??
The mini size (50ml) which I have is £2.35 (5 for 4 offer currently on mini's at Boots), whilst the larger one (125ml) is £4.85. Available at Boots and on ASOS.com.
I plan to buy the large size when I get paid (Soap & Glory Haul planned!) :) and keep the small one in my handbags, perfect size!



Secondly, Batiste 'Wild'. This is new and I previously mentioned that I bought this on Sunday.
Well, today I kinda woke up late and didn't have time to wash my hair, so...
BATISTE TO THE RESCUE!!
Dry shampoo is a bit tricky with my hair now being purple, as it can appear talcy and make my hair look bad, but this didn't.
I had previously said that the smell was lovely, well...I must add, after using properly today...it smells AMAZING!! My hair stayed fresh and smelt great all day :)
Batiste is also great for adding volume and giving hair a matte look.
I got my Batiste 'Wild' from Boots, for £2.99.


Have you tried either of these products?
Do you plan to try them now?
