Favorite Shampoo & Conditioner : R+Co Analog & Palm Springs


Best Baes.......
I haven't been this satisfied with a shampoo and conditioner in a while. My hair type is very coarse, straight and my scalp is very dry. I do not produce a lot of oil so I typically go 10 to 14 days without a wash. To some that is disgusting but for me it is necessary to keep my scalp and hair healthy. The reason that I have been doing that is because since my scalp is so dry and sensitive, whenever I would wash my hair, my scalp would be very sore. I have always used professional hair care so that wasn't to problem either. To my amazement my scalp doesn't feel tender at all after using this.

Analog is the cleansing foam and conditioner, so it is a 2-in-1. It is great for people who was just a quick wash, great for me, and also if you go to the gym a lot, you only need to carry one around with you. At first the consistency of it freaked my out because it literally feels like you are putting a paste all over you hair. After I got used to it, I will never go back to any other shampoo. Okay, maybe not never but for a while I am content.

Palm Springs is an amazing treatment for your hair. I have left this in my hair over night, and you can also use this as a regular conditioner. It comes out as a foam which again is very weird but my hair has never felt more silky smooth that when I have used this.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water



I am someone that typically uses a makeup wipe to remove everything and then go in with some type of creamy cleanser. I do this because I am a contact wearer and whenever I use a facial cleanser on my eyes it would make my contacts go all blurry. I was pleasantly surprised when that didn't happen as I was removing my eye makeup.


These magical fluids in a bottle have cut down the cleansing time on my makeup removal because I am no longer having to do a 2-step routine. The other thing that amazes me about these cleansers is that, they really so remove anything waterproof. If you use the Kat Von D tattoo liners, you know how stubborn they can be to take off. Both of them take is off without any harsh rubbing. I have very dry skin so I typically prefer a milky cleanser so, I haven't had any excess drying of my skin. My skin feels very soft, and squeaky clean!


As for the differences between the two, the one thing that I did notice is the blue bottle has a lot more oils in it than the pink one. With that being said I do prefer the pink bottle because I am not a fan of oils on my skin.
