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.

Lately, I have been neglecting to fill in my brows and sometimes even putting on mascara. I am just too tired and frankly lazy to do it. I also work a physical job and end up sweating so much of it off in the summer heat. Oh and there is also the fact I work with pet hair as a groomer, ever try to groom out a Persian Cat and not get a thousand hairs stuck to your lashes? It isn't really possible. Oh, and did I mention I now have grey hairs in my brows? Grey hairs!
I thought it would be a great time to try out tinting my lashes. Since I colour my hair a medium red I thought I would try a medium brown shade. Ideally, I would like my lashes to be black, but I figured since I was trying out the Medium Brown for my brows it would be not a bad idea to at least try them on my lashes.
This set is actually really easy to use. Wash and clean your face, make sure it is all dry. Put some lotion around the outside of your brows as to not colour them. Apply the pads under your eyes to protect them. Put a pea size amount of Part 1 (Colour Gel) into well #1, use the mascara wand to apply to brow and lashes. Let sit 4 minutes or until dry. wipe away. Put Part 2 (Developer Gel) into well #2 and apply with the little wand on brows and lashes. Let sit for 1 minute. Wipe off with a damp cloth.
So how did it all go for me? I could not get the darn pads to stay put, at all! So, I ditched them and just put some heavy lotion on the area instead.

Part 1 went all well, Part 2 did not. I do not like that tiny wand. I would suggest you get another mascara wand to get a more accurate application
. 
My eyes watered a bit when Part 2 went on my lashes, but nothing intense, just a bit spontaneous.

You need a lot of cotton swabs, and I mean a lot! I used some to accurately apply lotion around my brows and eyes, I used one to wipe off Part 1, I used one to clean up messes, basically, I used a lot of them and you should have a pile ready, not just a few.
How do I like it? I love it! My brows are perfect I am just using a clear gel when I want some shape or a fine pencil to fill in gaps when I do a more intense eye look. As for the lashes, I love how my bottom lashes look. They are darker and still fine. I think I am going to try the black on my top lashes because the look isn't too different than my natural lash colour.

Overall this kit was really easy to use and I feel the next time will be easier now that the learning curve is over. As I said, bring another mascara wand and a pile of cotton swabs and you will be just fine.

I really liked it has 16 applications in the kit, I probably used too much my first time, but that is ok. I picked up another brands kit that said 12 applications, but only had 12 eye pads, which meant it only did 6 set of lashes or brows, not 12. This one actually is meant to do the number of applications it says on the box, so that is a big bonus.

Have you ever tinted your lashes and/or brows at home? What did you think of it?

You can get BeautyLash at FarleyCo.ca.
