Beauty Vixen

The seasons are changing and with that I have some new goodies from FareleyCo . Today I am going to take a first impressions look at them.

Invisibobble Sprunchie Multipack Black/Purrfection (2PC)

Hidden underneath luxurious velvet fabric, the invisibobble® ponytail holder contains a classic original, therefore providing the benefits that come with all the classic hair ring. Holding all strands of hair together thanks to its spiral shape, the SPRUNCHIE is easy to remove without compromising on comfort.


This is a double pack of two Invisibobble Sprunchies. What is a Sprunchie, well it is a classic Invisibobble inside a scrunchie. You get all the grip you would expect from an Invisibobble with the style and gentle care of a scrunchy. You get a black one and a cute animal print one.

I was really skeptical of this one but man can it hold my hair well. I is the perfect combo of the two products and I love it.

Invisibobble Extra Hold - The Secret Purple

The double helix spiral shape of the invisibobble® Extra Hold provides maximum, comfortable hold for thick hair. It gently but powerfully holds hair in place for an all day look without damaging the hair, or causing unnecessary tension. 
    • traceless
    • all-day comfort
    • hair loving
    • strong grip for thick hair
    • non-soaking

If you love an Invisibobble you will love these. They are meant for thicker hair that needs a bit more hold. They are a doubled up version of their original hair elastics.

I love the strong hold they give, and while I cut my hair shortly after receiving them, I loved how they managed to hold even my shorter hair so darn well without any slipping. I wore them swimming a bunch of time and even then no slipping or hair popping out. Best yet they don't get water logged, making them the best for swimming.

Provoke's Touch of Silver line is meant for those with blonde, white or grey hair. It removes brassy tones and helps keep your hair at its most bright. I having dark hair have yet to try it, but my Mother in Law has white hair and loves all their products.

The Strengthening Purple line's Shampoo and Conditioners are meant to not only colour correct light hair shades, but also protecdt if from damage, making it feel softer and healthier after each use.

PROVOKE Illuminex Touch of Silver Strengthening Purple Shampoo

Brighten your colour and repair damaged hair bonds with PROVOKE ILLUMINEX Touch Of Silver Strengthening Purple Shampoo. Remove unwanted yellow and orange brassy tones whilst strengthening damaged hair bonds in just one wash.

PROVOKE Illuminex Touch of Silver Strengthening Purple Conditioner
PROVOKE Touch Of Silver Strengthening Purple Conditioner uses the most advanced ILLUMINEX formula, which is silicone & sulphate free and developed with AquaPlex™ to deeply hydrate. Enriched with vitamin B for hair that is bright, shiny & strong. 
I love makes some fantastic body washes as well as body sprays. I really adore the scents I have previously tried, so I was excited to get to try some new body washes.

I Love Signature Scents Elderflower Fizz Body Wash

It is time to embrace the rejuvenating spirit of summer with this delightful presse, blending luscious fruits and watery cucumber, with delicate floral interludes. This vibrant fruity accord has opening notes of apple & cucumber, leading to a heart of lemony elderflowers and jasmine to create a beautiful floral freshness.

First up is Elderflower Fizz. Now I already have the body spray for this so I knew I was going to love it. It is fresh and light, floral and sweet. Elderflower as a food is something I really enjoy, it is sweet and floral and refreshing, which I find reflected in this body wash as well. There is a mild hit of cucumber and apple to it just making it seem more summery fresh.

I Love Signature Scents Violet Dreams Body Wash

Float away in a sweet, ethereal cloud of soft parma violets, lifted by a luminous medley of Sicilian bergamot and green apple, and leading to a romantic floral heart of white lily, jasmine and violet.

Next up is Violet Dreams body wash. I clearly am loving florals right now, so this one hits the mark as well. It has the essence of violets with complexity of bergamot and sweetness or green apple with another hit of floral with white lily. I just love it. 

This Body Wash gently transforms into rich & creamy foam and contains natural fruit extracts. Skin loving moisturisers including Pro Vitamin B5 provides skin softening benefits to leave your body feeling cleansed, moisturised & silky smooth.

As how they perform as body washes? Really well. They lather and rinse well while leaving my body nice and soft. Nothing not to like here, just a very nice body wash. 

BeautyLash Brow Tint Kint (Dark Brown)

BeautyLash Tinting Kit tints eyelashes and eyebrows draw attention to your eyes without appearing artificial. Eyelashes are longer and eyebrows are being enhanced and receive a clear and defined outline. Grey or white hair is covered up completely and shine in new, fresh colour. The new 2-step tinting system makes it possible to tint eyelashes and eyebrows on your own in only 2 steps – the application is simple and safe. The colour lasts up to 6 weeks and is smudge and water resistant.

I tried BeautyLash years ago and really liked it. I was always afraid of tinting my own lashes until I found them.

It is a simple two part vegan system that you can use over an over again until you use it up. You can also do your lashes with them. The results are quite good, and since grey hairs are creeping up in my brows they save me a lot of time because I don't worry about my brows every morning.

Make sure to thouroughly cleanse eylashes and brows from oil, dead skin, mascara and lotion prior to use. One package is sufficient for 8 tinting applications. 

Perspirex Comfort Antiperspirant (25ml)

Perspirex Comfort Extra Effective Antiperspirant is clinically proven to provide extra effective protection against sweat for 2-3 days.
The Comfort skin care system contains ingredients that hydrate the skin for extra skin comfort. Apply at night to completely dry, unbroken skin. No need to reapply in the morning. Fragrance-free. Not tested on animals.

I have talked about Perspirex quite a bit before, and I still love it. In fact it made my favourites of 2020 list.. I love that it lasts for days even with showering or swimming. I recently went away for 3 days and brought no antiperspirant with me because I applied it before going. It saved me room and I had no worry about getting sweaty even in the middle of the summer. 

So... Summer Escapes Bali Breeze Body Mist

So…? Bali Breeze body mist transports your thoughts to lazy and carefree days on the beach. Its mellow notes of coconut, pineapple and pretty orange blossom create a fragrance that is soothing and calming to your senses.
I love a good tropical fragrance, it makes me feel like warm days are still with us. So...Summer Escapes Bali Breeze smells just like a tropical scent should, coconut, pineapple and orange blossoms. It spritzes well and lasts a moderate amount of time for a Body Mist. I really love applying it to my body before getting dressed as well as my clothing.

Overall I am really impressed with everything I have tried out so far. I am loving the Invisibobbles and how they manage to hold up my hair so darn well. I of course love my faourite Perspirex, and am very excited to try some new fragrance and body washes out. If you want to check out these new products they should be popping up at drug stores near you soon or at ShopHali.com.

Today I take a look at new products from FarleyCo that you can find at your favourite drug store and mass retailers.
7thHeaven Silver Easy Peel Off Mask
Get skin gleaming with this delightful metallic silver easy peel-off mask. Provides a helping hand at purifying and deeply cleansing pores to banish dirt and peel away dull, dead skin.
Helps to minimize the appearance of pores and fast-tracks your way to smooth, toned skin.
Key Ingredients: Orchid, Frankincense, Smithsonite
The Silver Peel-Off mask provides a 'Deep Micro Cleanse' and is best for Normal, Combo and Oily skin. The mask is supposed to purify, tone and tighten your skin.

My skin dry with some oily patches making it a combo but only in the summertime, which means this is a great summer mask for me. 

The Smithsonite in it really makes it silver when applied and dried, which is super fun. I found the mask easy to peel off and my skin super soft after using it. 
7thHeaven Rose Gold Easy Peel Off Mask
Say hello to a rosy glow with our metallic rose gold easy peel off mask. A precious blend of ingredients to help perk up a dull complexion in a flash! This selfie-ready mask helps to minimise the appearance of pores, tone and purify the skin.
Key Ingredients: Damask Rose Water, White Tea, Moonstone
The Rose Gold Peel Off mask is supposed to 'Balance and Nourish' your skin and is best for Normal, Combo and Dry skin. 

Since my skin is mainly dry this is great all year round but especially good in the colder months for me.

Once again, this one looks just like the metal in its name. Rose gold is so pretty, it looks like a liquid highlighter accident, but in a fun way. I love roses in my skin care, my skin just reacts so well to it and this mask is no exception. I love how soft and healthy my skin felt after using it.
Both masks are really neat because they actually contain ground up gemstones and have a fantastic metallic look to them. I always love a good peel-off mask because you get that satisfaction when peeling it off
COLABOriginal Sheer Invisible Dry Shampoo (200mL)
COLAB's Original fragrance Dry Shampoo gives hair an instant wow-factor with a 'Too cool for School' vibe and an effortlessly cool, bergamot and rose scent. Slay All Day!
Keep that clean hair feel for longer & instantly revitalise your look with COLAB's Sheer & Invisible dry shampoo.  Weightless & Invisible, it's perfect for all hair types that need an instant boost.
COLAB Invisible Dry Shampoo - Amazing oil absorbtion without white residue.
COLAB has quickly become my dry shampoo of choice. I have written about them in the past. It works so well, it never leaves a white cast or dullness on my dark hair all while leaving it feeling clean and light. It especially was great when my hair was short and I could not pull it back on my 3rd day without a wash day.
This here is the original formula and scent. The scent is Bergamont, Rose and Magnolia. It isn't too strong or overwhelming, but it is really nice.

Basically if you want a good dry shampoo that leaves no white residue on your hair, leaves your hair clean and fluffy and smells nice you need to buy this. I cannot stress this enough, this is the best dry shampoo out there.
BubbleT Moroccan Mint Tea Hand Wash
Bubble T's refreshing Moroccan Mint Tea hand wash is a bathroom essential. A splash of colour and serious ingredients will soothe skin with fresh mint oil and Goji berry extracts. Packed with the uplifting scents of spearmint and peppermint, this hand wash is about to become your newest bathroom favourite.
Bubble T’s entire bath & body range contains a variety of tea-infused ingredients
I of course am always happy to get a new hand wash to try out, but in 2020, yes, please!  We are just flying through the stuff this year and that isn't a bad thing.

Bubble T's Moroccan Mint Tea Hand Wash is a really nice hand wash that has a light gel-like texture that foams up into a light feeling lather with large bubbles. It rinses clean and leaves no residue on the hands. It smells really nice too, a light minty tea scent but nothing too strong.

I also really like the bottle, it has a great pump that works really well. You get a solid amount of product, not too much or too little, just right.

My bottle is currently living in our main washroom and getting lots of use. I would definitely pick this up next time we run out of soap.
I love... Signature Scents Elderflower Fizz Body Mist 
It is time to embrace the rejuvenating spirit of summer with this delightful presse, blending luscious fruits and watery cucumber, with delicate floral interludes. This vibrant fruity accord has opening notes of apple & cucumber, leading to a heart of lemony elderflowers and jasmine to create a beautiful floral freshness.
Freshen up with this beautifully scented Body Mist for long lasting, on the go refreshment. It provides a beautiful burst of long lasting fragrance for up to 4 hours. Formulated with natural fruit extracts they offer a welcome burst of fragrance to help keep you smelling irresistible. A pamper product that is sure to become a handbag essential.
Exclusively Available Instore at Shoppers Drug Mart
I love elderflower in food so naturally, I really wanted to try it out as a scent. In food, it is light, sweet and floral and it is the same in a body mist.

Bodysprays are pretty much all I wear in the summertime. It feels light and isn't too heavy in the warm weather.

It has a lot of fresh and light fragrances in it that really makes it smell like summer. There is cucumber in there as well as apple and even jasmine. All together it makes a scent I just can't place but is so light and summery.

The formula lasts for about half a day on me, which is about par with other body sprays. I really like to add a bit to my hair and clothing so that I smell fresh a little longer into the day.
PerspirexComfort Antiperspirant (25mL)
Perspirex Comfort Extra Effective Antiperspirant is clinically proven to provide extra effective protection against sweat for 2-3 days.The Comfort skin care system contains ingredients that hydrate the skin for extra skin comfort. Apply at night to completely dry, unbroken skin. No need to reapply in the morning.
Fragrance-free. Not tested on animals.
Perspirex has been my go-to antiperspirant for about 6 years now. I absolutely adore the original and how it lasts for 5 days on me even with showering and swimming. This new updated Comfort version is even better. I heard a lot of people were having issues with the original and their skin is sensitive to it. I never had that problem unless I applied it directly after shaving. This new formal seems to have fixed any sensitivity issues people were having, I still don't recommend using it after shaving though.
I like to follow the instructions on the lid and apply at night to clean dry skin. I find it lasts 5 days on me but the bottle says it lasts 2 to 3 on most people. 

The summer means hot weather and a simple walk around the block or a day at work can leave me sweating a ton, I feel awful and really start to worry about if I am smelling. When I wear Persirex I don't have that issue at all and I absolutely love that.

In the past when I purchased the original Perspirex in the stores I thought that for an anti-perspiring it was definitely more expensive, but when I realized I only had to use it every 5 days I quickly saw that it wasn't an issue at all.
So there are some new to me items from FarleyCo that I recommend you go check out at your local drug store. I have really enjoyed them and will definitely be repurchasing them as soon as I run out.

A little while back I discovered I Love... a bath and body brand that is sold exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart.
I tried out the I Love...Strawberry and Cream Bubble Bath and Shower Creme and fell in love. It has quickly become my favourite bubble bath. My baths are filled pillows of foamy bubbles and a fantastic strawberry scent. Just a fantastic bubble bath, and I love my bubble baths.

A few weeks ago I got the chance to try out their Raspberry and Blackberry Spritzer. It smells just like fresh berries! I find it a great option for days that I not in the mood to wear a perfume or just want to freshen up. So fruity and up lifting in this drab winter weather.
Bubble Bath and Shower Creme Review:
Pros:
  • Big bold bubbles
  • Amazing fruity scent 
  • Great body wash that doesn't strip the skin of moisture
  • Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
Cons:
  • None
Overall:
A great bubble bath or body wash that smells great and is gentle to skin. Really not much more to say, fantastic.
Spritzer Review:
Pros:
  • Smells fresh
  • Not too strong or overpowering 
  • $4.99!
  • Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
Cons:
  • Wont last all day (but it isn't a perfume it is body spray, so you should expect that)
Overal:
A great fresh fruity scent for any time, I find it a nice pick me up. I really want to get the coconut scented one...mmm coconuts.

Ok so now on to the Contest!
I am lucky enough to give away one lucky Canadian resident a I Love... product and an adorible heart shaped locket. To see what products are available click here.
