I have thin hair and face a lot of hairfall problems hence I am very selective when it comes to choosing the right shampoo for my hair. I was previously using Tresemme Shampoo but I wanted to give Dove hair therapy after watching a lot of their adds on Youtube.

The switching part is definitely the scary part where I imagine a billion things going wrong on shifting from one shampoo to other. But I am thankful that Dove daily shine hasn’t harmed my hair in anyway and has showed good results in the past few weeks of me using it.

Direction for Use:- Apply to wet hair, lather, rinse and repeat.  For best results, use daily with Dove conditioner.

My experiences with Dove Daily Shine Shampoo

This shampoo turned out to be a nice one to wash off dirt and dust off my hair on a regular basis. I can say eversince I started using this shampoo I can see my hair actually shine ! yes ! And I ended up recommending it to my friends!

Fragrance: I love shampoos that leave a fragrance that would last for a few hours even after its rinsed off and dove daily shine is one such shampoo. It smells good!

Price: INR 420 for 650 ml. ( I bought it for a lower price of INR 378 on amazon.in ;))

Availability: Available at all online stores and local stores nearby my home.

Shelf Life: 36 months !

Packaging : I like it that it doesn’t have a flip cap as I hate it that I have to open up such a huge bottle everytime I want to shampoo my hair!

Pros:

1. Good for everyday use.

2. Nice fragrance

3. Awesome packaging

4. Priced reasonably

5. Easily available

6.Softer and shinier hair

7.No damage done to hair

8. No hairfall after using it

Cons:

1. Need a lot of the product to rinse off hair oil from hair. I had to use a lot more shampoo than I do to rinse off dirt and oil from my hair. Other than this I couldn’t find any con!

BlingSparkle.com rating: 3.9/5

Recommendations: If you want a good to-go shampoo at your service everyday I suggest you buy this one and say hello to beautiful and shiny hair!

Until Next Time

All our make up products have a shelf life and most big brands clearly mention the expiry dates . While chances of you going blind when using an expired eye shadow or mascara is like close to impossible but this may cause skin irritations so it is better to discard off old make up and in this post I give you some tips and guide you with tossing of your make up.

Mascara expires fastest or rather dries out and should ideally be changed every 4 months so I never purchase more than one mascara at a time . Use one tube, discard then repurchase. But this isnt true with other make up as I have more than a dozen lip sticks and glosses, blushes stocked at a time. More number of cosmetics to use means it is just that much more difficult to finish them all before expiry. With nail polishes it is easier because they last the longest and not too much infections can be cause on nails .

I personally don’t care about expiry dates much and use products as long as they don’t smell fowl or loose it original colour and it helps that I have pretty well behaved skin which doesn’t have many break outs. 

When to throw your make up away:

• Smells bad: If a product smells wierd, or very different from the time you brought it then irrespective of its shelf life toss it in trash.
• Changes Colour: When Your  make looses its colour or changes some shades it is time to discard it
• After Expiry Date: Like I mentioned above I don’t throw my make up away as soon as expiry date arrives but if you have very sensitive skin ugly break outs is the last thing you want. I recommend you follow all your expiry dates so you don’t add up to your skin problems.  Also when it comes to skin care and sunscreens even people with well behaved skin should follow expiry dates rigorously.
• Separating Formulas: When your make up texture consistency changes or when there is formula separation like water and stuff discard! This happened in one of my tips and toes gloss, only watery liquid came out when I squeezed it. 
• Eye infection: If you had an eye infection, see which eye products you used recently discard it!

Tips to increase life of your make up and make it Last longer:

• Use clean sponges and brushes to remove make up packaged in a tub . This keeps bacteria at bay.
• If using hands to remove product then wash it properly
• Considering keeping your lipsticks in a refrigerator. Keeping products away from direct sunlight increases its life.
• Close caps of your make up tightly , this prevents drying out .
• Instead of using lipstick from bullet, use a clean lip brush
• Avoid buying products packaged in a tub as much as possible as it is very unhygienic
• When buying make up consider going for powder forms than liquid or cream stuff which don’t last that long
• Store make up in cool dry place away from moisture and sunlight.
• If nail polishes dry out, it can be mixed with some drops of polish remover to increase life
• When buying Make up see manufacturing date and buy fresh stocks Only
• Keep your make up tools clean and was you make up brushes regularly 
• Done Share make up ever!

Do you follow expiry dates rigorously? please share how long after expiry you use make up.

Stay beautiful
