Garnier Fructis vs. Aussie




If you’re going through the shampoo aisle with your shopping cart, which shampoo do you choose— Aussie or Garnier Fructis? Both of these products are hair care brands which include shampoo.
Garnier Fructis claims to make your hair stronger, smoother, and shinier. Aussie helps with dry and damaged hair by making it moist. The ingredients in Garnier Fructis are all natural ingredients while in Aussie they’re not. Garnier Fructis contains ingredients like, coco and other fruits.
There have been both good and bad reviews for both products. People like the smell of both products. Garnier Fructis has a fruity smell, and Aussie has a kind of grape scent to it. After using Garnier Fructis, people have complained about hair loss and thought it made their hair dry. People who have used Aussie have said that it’s dried out their hair and also made it greasy.
For the most part though, there are more positive things about Aussie than there are about Garnier Fructis. Lexi Quail said, “I have used both, but I now use Aussie, and like it much better.” Dalton DeBoer said, “I like Garnier Fructis better, because it leaves my hair silky and smooth.”
Many people buy these products, or have at least once to try them out. You can get them at pretty much any store. For an example you could buy them at your local grocery stores, and of course at Wal-Mart. Also they’re both available online to buy. Both of these products have an average price of $4, so you’re not really going to be able to use that as a way to compare the two.
I have tested out both shampoos, but I prefer to use Aussie. I found better reviews about it than Garnier Fructis, and I like the smell of it better. Also I believe Aussie leaves my hair shinier, and stays nice throughout the whole day.

Princess vs. Clinique Happy


Are you looking to by perfume, but just can’t seem to find the right one?
Princess by Vera Wang and Happy Clinique are two great smelling perfumes! But the question is which one do you choose? Princess is found in Sephora and a 1.7 oz bottle costs $57. Shipping and handling for this product will cost you $5.95 for standard shipping. You can buy a 1.7 oz bottle of Clinique Happy for $39.50. Clinique Happy can be bought in Macy’s. Standard shipping and handling also cost $5.95, but that does not include tax.
According to macys.com, Clinique Happy has gotten a 99% approval rate by the people who have purchased it and it has also gotten 4.5 stars out of 5. The only down falls of this product would be its rather strong and the scent doesn’t last very long. People who have purchased Princess say that it last all day and they get many compliments on how they smell. Briana DeBoer said, “I prefer Princess because when I wear it I feel like I have a strong scent that people take notice to. Also, it lasts all day!” Princess is in a heart shaped glass bottle with a crown on the top for the lip. Clinique Happy is in a plain clear bottle with an orange lip.
I personally think that Princess by Vera Wang is the right perfume to choose. I love the scent because it’s not overpowering and has a sweet smell and the appearance of the bottle is adorable! It may be a little more expensive but its definitely worth that extra 20 bucks.
