Herbal Essences Naked

I have a Klout account and along with being active on many social media sites, I finally received a perk that I can use. I received from Herbal Essences their Naked shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo. How exciting is that! Granted the shampoo and conditioner are travel sized, I still think that's pretty cool. 


So what do I think of them, instant smell of lavender from shampoo and an interesting mix of  grapefruit and minty scent from the conditioner and dry shampoo. 

I'm all about the conditioner since my hair tends to be on the dry frizzy side, so I need a bit of weight. Compared to my conditioners I use*, yes, it left my hair feeling silky and would consider, though I'm in favor with what I already have.


As for the dry shampoo. I compared it to my Göt2b Rockin'it dry shampoo. I liked the grapefruit/mint smell of Herbal Essences , and it showed up clear and I didn't feel the powder texture as I do from my Göt2b Rockin'it.  Also I don't have to brush, brush, brush to blend it since there is no white residue. So I'm happy that I got to see how another product was. 

The differences which might make Göt2b "powdery" white on my hair could be the rice starch, where as Herbal Essences has tapioca starch. But I'm no chemistry expert.  


I'm not sure I would buy the full size products since I'm a TRESemmé fan of their climate control shampoo and I do like my hair mask as my conditioner. I didn't have that, "I need this in my life" feeling, however, it's not a bad line of products. 

If your a fan of the brand, give this a try if you haven't yet :)

*I use TRESemmé climate controlled shampoo, Dove damage therapy conditioner and Orlando Pita Argan Restoring Treatment Hair Mask, which I love. You can see I have a damage hair and frizzy problem. Perks of curly hair.

Update after Juice Beauty

Back in September (here) I wrote a review about rather I was loving the Juice Beauty product or I hated it. Here is my updated answer...

LOVE IT!


After having ran out, during the month of November I realized I missed it. I noticed my small pimples coming up and my face wasn't as smooth anymore. So what is on my Christmas list for 2014, Juice Beauty skin care. The cleanser, serum and apple peel.

I have tried the moisturizer that came with the started kit, and I don't care for it much. It's thicker than my Simple moisturizer and has a weird minty smell and greasy feeling.



So I'm saying YES! I have combination skin and I have moderate breakouts, and this product really helped minimized the breakouts and made my skin look great.

This is a product I feel you would need to continue to use to have the results last, which is not a problem since I wash my face 2x daily.

I know there are other products out there that you love and work for you, but if  your looking for something new, I would definitely recommend giving this line a try.

Thanks for reading!!!
