Aussie Cleanse & Mend Shampoo Review

I'm going to get straight to the point by saying that I love this shampoo. This shampoo is cheap and performs true to its claims. What more can one ask for from a drugstore shampoo? It comes in purple packaging like all Aussie products. The back clearly shows the list of ingredients along with directions for use.


The reason I got this shampoo is because I have a dehydrated/oily scalp with dry ends. What I need is a shampoo that can get rid of the grease, dirt etc., while still keeping my scalp hydrated, and hair friz-free. The shampoo claims to cease the grease and quench the frazzled ends so obviously it sounded like a good fit for me.


The shampoo is a creamy liquid that has a pearly shine to it. It smells sweet and fruity, with citrusy notes.

After using it a few times I've noticed that my scalp doesn't feel dry or itchy and I saw a reduction in my scalp acne. It also leaves my hair smelling good until the next time I shampoo (which is usually 4-5 days). My scalp doesn't get oily until 2 days after I use this. My hair feels less frizzy and more smooth whenever I use it. And my husband who's prone to getting dandruff loves this shampoo too. It lasts a long time since it's a huge bottle, 13.5 oz (400ml). It cost me around $3 in a combo sale at CVS.

I recommend this to anyone who has a greasy plus dehydrated scalp, frizzy dry hair, and need a good shampoo. I'll repurchase it once I finish this one. This is my second bottle though so I did repurchase it once.

Hope the review helps you in making a choice.

      Yeah, I read about it on your blog and was thinking about it, will give it a try...this should work well for you too, but even if it doesn't, its only $3 and you can keep it in rotation with whatever works for you.

    I rotate my shampoos once in 5 months depending on when I get sick of em...right now using pantene. For me what really transforms my hair is 'conditioner'. Though lot of people have advice me against using garnier I still prefer Garnier silky straight conditioner for frizz free hair:)

      I agree, conditioner is good but they are usually heavier and greasier compared to moisturizing shampoos and not everyone prefers them, I do though... but I also sometimes just like my moisturizing shampoos when I don't want to grease my hair with conditioners coz I use oil for that.

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months, I t...

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month.  So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites.  As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold : This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair especially when left open and this product is really a blessing. It gives a good hold without adding too much cast to the hair. You can build it up and get stronger hold if that is what you need.  It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner : I love this conditioner and this is a product worth repurchasing. I only wish they would put it in ...

10 Popular Perfumes/Mists With The Same Scent DNA As Baccarat Rouge 540

 Baccarat Rouge 540 was launched in 2016 by the famous perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since then it has reached a whole new level of popularity when it comes to perfumes, especially on social media. But since it is a very expensive perfume there are a lot of people like me, who cannot justify spending so much on a perfume, and who are looking for something similar that costs less. On the other hand brands that grasp the popularity also come up with perfumes that are inspired by the OG. People refer to these as dupes or smell-a-likes. It's basically a win win situation for everyone. I am personally not crazy about the scent profile that BR540 belongs to but since it is so hyped I wanted to try it out for myself. So I went to the store several times and tested it on the paper strips, on my clothes, and on my skin. And after several tries I decided that it is not really for me. It's a little too spicy and woody for my tastes. And since it is so expensive it's also not some...
