Fragrant Friday - Belif The Garden

Energize your senses with the first fragrance from belif:

 

Belif The Garden - 50ml EDP - $80 - an invigorating fruity citrus and floral fragrance that takes you on a stroll into the garden with opening notes of sparkling citrus and sweet berry; heart notes of dewy spring blossoms and white flower; and a base of smooth white musk and woods wrapped in an earthy base for an unforgettable fragrance with a bright, fresh feeling. 

 

The fragrance truly is an ode to springtime - my best description is light and happy - and really who can't use a bit (lot) of that?! Even the sunny yellow bottle has me thinking spring thoughts!

Available now exclusively at avon.ca and ca.naturecollection.com.

This week I'm obsessed with... Splat Naturals Semi-Permanent Hair Color!

Get the perfect ultra-vivid, head-turning colour transformation with:

 

Splat Naturals Semi-Permanent Hair Color - 177ml - $24.95 - available in 4 shades: Pink, Purple, Blue and Teal - features a 95% natural formula with an ultra-conditioning base that's infused with Baobab Seed Oil - moisturizes, provides shine and helps protect from UV rays; Quinoa Extracts  - packed with vitamins and minerals to help prevent breakage; and Pro-Vitamin B5 - for extra hydration to help increase shine and condition hair. 

 

Great for all-over color, streaks, ombre looks or dip dye - I especially like the easy squeeze packaging which is 90% sustainable and much easier to use then the pots of colour. Colour lasts 4-6 weeks or up to 30 washes. And it's free of bleach, parabens, sulfates, PPD, ammonia and fragrance. 

 

It's important to note that it's meant for blonde hair - I loved the idea of pink hair and gave it a try but my hair is a medium auburn so I have a pinkish glow in sunlight now but not the vivid pink I was imagining... I don't think I will be bleaching out my whole head anytime soon but I might give a few streaks a try...

 

Application is easy - check out the video below and start envisioning your own unicorn hair!

I'm just bananas for the new Quo Beauty Banana Cleansing Balm!

Quo Beauty Banana Cleansing Balm - 50g - $20 - packed with skin conditioning and hydrating agents such as banana extract this transformative formula melts away make-up and moisturizes thirsty skin - to leave it feeling deeply cleansed, hydrated and feeling soft and smooth with a visibly fresh and dewy glow.

 

You use it a bit differently then your usual cleanser - it's applied to dry skin, not wet and you just need a tiny dime-sized amount of product gently massaged into dry skin - rinse well with water and pat dry - and it really does just melt away dirt and makeup!

 

My skin feels so moisturized afterwards that I've given up moisturizer and moved to a serum instead - this new one from Quo Beauty does the trick:

Quo Beauty Hydrating Facial Serum - 30ml - $20 - with a lightweight texture that leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with a velvety finish. The formula contains vitamin C - to help even out the skin tone while helping diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; sodium hyaluronate (a derivative of hyaluronic acid) - penetrates deeper layers of the skin to attract and hold moisture which, overtime, works to enhance and replenish skin.

 

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada and online at shoppersdrugmart.ca.
