Way back at Christmas time (it's nearly Valentine's Day!) my uncle gifted me the Au Lait Pamper Kit from The Scottish Fine Soaps Company. Admittedly I don't think this was a product I would have picked up myself as the white packaging and the traditional branding strategy makes it appear a bit...boring. I think we all know I love me some bright colours and sparkles by now!
But as the photo caption says I did discover quite the little beauty secret in this kit. And it was....drumroll!
The shampoo!
The other products were nice, but there wasn't anything that made them stand out from other body butters and shower creams I had already tried. Not being long since Christmas I still have a plentiful amount of shower gels and body butters at hand and the two in this kit aren't the ones I find myself reaching for. They are nice, don't get me wrong, and certainly do moisturise the skin but they aren't really my cup of tea. I prefer my shower creams to have gorgeous scents (I'm still savoring the last part of my Snow Fairy bottle) and to really froth up in the shower. If you prefer your shower gels and creams to have a minimal scent then these might be just up your alley.
And onto the shampoo. I was cynical about trying this as so many shampoos don't work for my greasy hair and I only started using it (on a weekend in case I ended up with greasy hair for work) because I had ran out of what I was previously using. But I was really surprised. It left my hair with volume but a really light volume that was quite bouncy and my layers could be picked up on. Plus my hair was non-greasy but still really soft - the perfect balance!
Hair care is extremely subjective in my experience but if your hair is like mine (greasy, coloured, quite flat) then you might just love this too. February is set to be quite a tight month for me financially so I'm keeping to drugstore - but come my end of February pay check I believe the shampoo might just make my re-purchased products list.
