PARK AVENUE BEER SHAMPOO

This shampoo created a buzz when it was launched. “with the goodness of BEER… “ you can say. I am bored of writing long reviews so I am trying to keep this short.

It says in BOLD letters “With REAL BEER”. That doesn’t mean you can drink it. So, everybody knows beer and its goodness, talking in terms of conditioning the hair here. This shampoo is available in all the big stores or you can even check it out online. I found it reasonable for the price.

Review:

It contains a lot of chemicals, but I am not a herbal products only person so I really don’t care much until it makes my hair beautiful. I don’t usually take a lot of care about my care and when the bottle said shampoo + conditioner in one! I was more than excited.! I don’t have to go through the routine of conditioning and stuff.

 So anyways… This shampoo worked really nice when I used it after oiling my hair the previous night. It made my hair soft and shiny. Added a little bit of bounce but I won’t say noticeable. At least it did not make my hair feel limpy or heavy. So *happy*

Now when I used it without oiling my hair. I felt it made my hair a bit cry. I have an oily scalp, so skipping oiling is not a big problem for me. But even then I found my hair a bit dry. So I added up by using some conditioner the next time I hadn’t oiled my hair beforehand, and it worked.

So don’t rely on complete conditioning by this shampoo. You either need to oil your hair or use a conditioner.

Pros:

Affordable

Makes hair smooth and shiny

Little volume

Cleans well

Cons:

Doesn’t foam much

Has “BEER” smell

Not travel friendly

Need to use something for conditioning.

Rating: 4/5

Review:

This lipbalm comes in a little bit cheap looking tub. It’s really not that  buttery so you don’t have to worry about it melting out or something. It stays intact in the tub even in hot summers, so that’s a plus!

 

Its not tinted. So people with pigmented lips might not like it. Its semi colored as in a very light shade of reddish pink is what you see when you put it on the lips. Its not very noticeable. It feels a bit oily, like buttery types. 

It stands true to some of the claims. I really did not expect it to have sunscreen effect, but I don’t think so it does have it. It moisturizes the lips. Cures chapped lips and make them look healthy. It lasts for 2-3 hours and is not sticky. The only problem is since it’s a bit on the oilier side you can’t apply it with lipsticks. Rest its ok with the price it comes.

Pros:

Buttery

Moisturizes well

Doesn’t have any taste

Lasts long enough

Gives a slight shine when applied.

Cons:

Packaging not good

Priced a bit higher for the value
