Last updated: 10 April 2021

I assume you’ve found your way here from my Holy Grails page or the post I’ve just done to update it. I created this A – Z list because I like lists. A lot. But also because I need to keep track of what I’ve actually tried. There’s so much here that, without this list, I could easily buy something I’ve bought before as I have the tendency of making purchases without really thinking them through. And for you guys, this is a quick link to all the relevant reviews and a quick guide to see what I’ve liked 👍🏾 and what I won’t bother buying again👎🏾 .

Please note, a 👎🏾 isn’t necessarily me saying that the product is trash, it might be, but what it means is that I didn’t like it enough to invest my money in again. And remember, what works or doesn’t work for me won’t necessarily be the same for you so I suggest you read the reviews 😉 to find out more! Obviously, it’s mostly hair care but look for the *** for skin care products. And to find what I really, really love – head over (or back) to my Holy Grails.
