New Hydralicious Shampoo from Herbal Essences - Product Review

A while ago, I signed up to participate in another Matchstick promotion. This time it was for the new Hydralicious shampoo and conditioner by Herbal Essences.
I have used HE shampoo in the past and I really liked it, so I was eager to try this new product by them!

Matchstick sent me a box with one of each type of the newest shampoo and conditioner. It was great! Nice packaging too.



Here's my review:

The shampoo is nice, very pretty to look at. It smells great too! It is a little thicker than the usual shampoos I use, so you only need a small amount. I have been using Pantene Expressions recently, and that leaves my hair very silky and smooth. The Herbal Essence doesn't make my hair as soft, but it's a great shampoo nevertheless. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to everyone. There are 3 different types to choose from.

Looks: 5/5
Smell: 5/5
Usability: 4.5
Overall: 4.5/5

omg, so tired

i need to sleep earlier! i was watching the pilot episode of las vegas last night since i finally found some links to it, only it took forever to buffer. good ep though, now i have to watch the other 21 eps in season 1. also chuck aired last night in 3d and i didn't even know about it. jeun said it will air again tonight. hope i dont forget.

i'm working on directed studies stuff, my prof is crackin' that whip. i don't know if i will get full marks for effort this time lol coz i haven't done a lot yet. just sort of make a map, and then fix up my methods and results from the zonation paper. also added things into emily's methods, which was a super rough draft.

The Pink Panther 2

I won a pair of tickets to an advanced screening of The Pink Panther 2 so I took my cousin along to watch. I've never seen the first movie, so I didn't know what to except. I thought the movie was hilarious! I know critics say it's terrible, but I thought it was pretty good! Everyone was laughing a lot. Steve Martin reprises his role as inspector Jacques Clouseau, a bumbling idiot. He has to recover the Pink Panther diamond once again, as it has been stolen AGAIN. So funny. I'm going to watch the first movie soon, good thing my sister has it!

Inkheart

Snagged a pair of advanced screening passes to Inkheart, starring Brendan Fraser. I thought it was a pretty good movie, not the best, but good enough to watch with your family. There were some cool special effects and interesting characters. Brendan Fraser plays Mo, a Silvertongue, who can bring characters from books to life by reading outloud. His daughter inherits this ability as well. Mo accidentally reads some villians out from Inkheart, and reads his wife into it. He spends his life searching for a copy of Inkheart so he can get his wife back. Andy Serkis plays the villian Capricorn, who is trying to bring the evil and powerful Shadow to take over earth.

Back to School

Finally the last term of my university degree!! Taking 3 courses this term, but still so busy because they all have projects - AHH! I'm already so frustrated and hw is starting to pile up, and it's only the start of the 3rd week.

So shopping. Did a lot of coupon shopping during the holidays. Just in December 2008, I saved almost $400 just using coupons. My out of pocket total I would guess is less than $40, maybe even less than $25. Darn those pesky taxes!

I'm going to keep track of how much I save during January. So far it's about $40, but only coz I haven't been doing a lot of shopping since school started. I'm waiting for the new brandsaver coupons to come so I can use them at London Drugs to get Olay products. I love London Drugs!

Definitely still check out http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/index.php?referrerid=24300 if you want to save mega bucks while shopping (free everything!) and get freebies and samples.
