So after a busy month and a half of travelling and school work I'm back and blogging, better than before.
Dry Shampoo=every girl's hero, whether to spray excess grease away or to add extra volume when styling there is always a bottle lying around in every beauty girl's bedroom. Batiste, the UK's best selling dry shampoo is my most used hair product, as it always leaves my hair feeling super refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Also I love the amazing fragrances that last all day.
The very lovely Lisa, at Batiste, sent me some beautiful brand new fragrances and invited me to take on the Try it Dry challenge.

Batiste has always been a family favourite but I'll admit I never used to be much of a fan due to the fact that my Mum always uses the same scent, the exotic dry shampoo (the yellow can). After receiving these products I have changed my mind and starting using some whenever my hair needs to be refreshed. Also to celebrate the release of the limited edition of the Pixie Lott fun & floral fragrance, I may do an Instagram giveaway as I was sent two (@sophielouisaxo I follow back...shameless self promotion y'know).
Out of all the dry shampoos my favourite has to be the gorgeous oriental one, with the pretty and opulent scent. Look to the East with the new Batiste Oriental scent! The packaging is so gorgeous and is one of the latest scents to be added to the Batiste family. I think this scent is perfect for the Summer as it's light but smells delicious. I think its also very refreshing for your hair and friends of mine have used this one too as it's fresh on the shelves and they agree it's the prettiest bottle and the most gorgeous scent ever from Batiste. Always remember when using any dry shampoo, hold the can 30cm away from your head and spray into the roots and massage it thoroughly, before leaving it for 2 mins then brush through and style. If you spray too close to your head it will leave a white patch..which has happened to everyone before! The Oriental scent is so elegant, gorgeous and girly and is my favourite scent yet.
The next fragrance I received is the striking, spicy and sassy Monochrome scent which I think is perfect for adding extra volume to any up-do for added retro glam.
So get ready to get groovy baby with the Monochrome scent added to the Batiste range to give some retro vibes. I think that the Monchrome is the perfect pick-me-up scent for a sassy but classy style. Compared to the Oriental scent, it definitely gives you more volume and vibrancy to your hair which I believe is great for a night out. It does have a heavier scent whereas the Oriental one has such a light and delicate scent that it's perfect for Summer. This one also has a very unique scent with orange blossom and pepper notes to give it some spice but is still lovely. To add extra volume again I'd use the plumping powder if you're not fussed on the spray, click here. It's an exclusive to Boots so get your hands on one before they're all gone!
The last scent I was scent to review is the brand new Pixie Lott fun and floral fragrance which has a gorgeous, playful, summery scent perfect for every girl. Pixie Lott has done an amazing collaboration with Batiste and I love this limited edition scent, the bottle has such an unique design and you still get added volume with long lasting fragrance. To watch Pixie's quick tutorial of how to use Batiste and how to style your hair with it, click here.
Pixie is known for her super style and gorgeous hair that is always styled to perfection with volume and vibrancy. After using the Pixie Lott fragrance it did revitalize my hair with some added volume but not as much as I hoped, I adore the scent but I was hoping it would be something more spectacular as there as been so much build up for this product. Overall, I do love it and I would be happy to re-purchase as I think it has the best day-to-day scent without being too heavy or too light as it has notes of jasmine but I love the bottle design, definitely something that would catch my eye when choosing off the shelf in a store. At the moment if you buy a bottle of this from Boots you can get an exclusive download of a Pixie Lott song and £2 off her album!!
So out of all them the best one definitely has to be the Oriental one for it's enchanting, elegant and enriching scent and the pretty little packaging. Every girl needs a bottle of dry shampoo and now it's your chance to Try It Dry with promotions both at Boots and Superdrug. All Batiste products are better than half price at Superdrug, so give the Pixie Lott fragrance a go and show your wild side. If there isn't a Superdrug near you, Boots have a 3 for 2 promotion across all hair products, so why don't you try Monochrome or Oriental and the Plumping Powder and get one free? Batiste do so many fragrances including the exclusive Urban and two that I want to try so so much, the XXL volume booster and cool & crisp. So why not show your hair some love and Try it Dry? With a fragrance for every type of girl, join the 2.5 million girls across the UK who are already loving Batiste. Find your Batiste style and Try it Dry!!
