Matrix Total Results High Amplify Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I received these shampoo and conditioner samples in a box I got at Ulta awhile back. You can purchase the full sizes for $12-22 at Ulta depending on which size you purchase. It is available in 10.1 fl oz and 33.8 fl oz. 
These products claim to boost fine, limp hair for lasting volume. It is also silicone free. 
My Mom and I have used the original Amplify formula for years and we both love it, so I was very excited to try out the new formula. 
It has a nice fresh scent that I really like. It left my hair very voluminous and soft and shiny. The conditioner does not weight my hair down either, and thats hard to find with having fine hair. 
Overall, I really like this shampoo and conditioner but I think I like the original formula a little better. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Empty Product Reviews

I was asked to do a blog on products that I use up, so I collected my "empties" for 3 months so you can see what I use the most of. You will see a lot of sample sizes, I am trying to use up samples this year.
January Empties
January I went through a lot of deluxe sample size products. I'll start at the top and work my way down. 
1. Smashbox Mascara- did not like this, it irritated my contacts so I just didn't use it enough and it dried out 
2. Nars Lip pencil- I really liked this pencil and the color but it was so soft I couldn't even sharpen it without it making a mess
3. Secret Deodorant- I used it up but its not my favorite
4. Jergens Wet Skin- I LOVE this product. As you can see I used up a little bottle as well as a full-size and already have more in the shower
5. Olay Body Wash- I used it up, it was ok, probably won't buy again. 
6. Nivea Shower Lotion- I used it up, I like the Jergens better but they work really nicely together if you really want moisturized skin
7. Bath and Body Works Body Wash- This was the scent endless summer, I tend to just end up using it as a bubble bath. 

February Empties:

I will start on the left and work around in a circle. 
1. Tarte Clean Slate Flawless 12 hour brightening primer- It was ok. Nothing too special. 
2. Sephora Outrageous Curl Mascara- I Loved this mascara, I did every pinterest hack I could find to get every last drop out. 
3. Matrix Biolage Color Care Shine Shake- This is my most favorite hair product. I went to 5 stores just to find one to replace it.
4. Herbal Essence Naked Dry Shampoo- It was ok, not my favorite but I didn't hate it. 
5. Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash- the scent is amazing but I was not a big fan of the formula.
6. Nourish Organic Argan Face Serum- I used it up because I hate throwing perfectly good products away but it in no way compared to my normal serum that I use. 
7. Simple Micellar Make Up Remover Wipes- I really liked these. I got them in a target beauty box and I will be buying these again when I run out of the many packs I have of other wipes at the house.
These are my March empties. I did pretty good this month with using up sample size products so that makes me happy. 
1. Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Bosy Wash- if I have a coupon there is always a possibility I will purchase again. 
2. Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion- I used the very dry skin with almond oil. I love the scent and I will purchase again. 
3. Skintimate Shave Gel- I normally just purchase what's on sale or what I have a coupon for. I did like this though. 
4. Klorane Eye Patches- very moisturizing. I would repurchase. 
5. Nars Audacious Mascara- it was a nice mascara but made my eyes itch. I don't think I will repurchase. 
6. Tarte Poreless Primer- I love Tarte primer! Once I use up all I have there is a good chance I will repurchase. 
7. Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask- smells amazing and felt very refreshing. I doubt I will be repurchase because I didn't feel it did anything for my skin. 
8. Hourglass Veil Primer- I really liked this primer. I'm not sure I'll purchase. It just seems to expensive for me. 
9. Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix- I love these pads. They smell great and make my skin look and feel amazing. I already purchased a full size.
