Farleyco Spring into Summer Beauty Box 📦

Hi beauties!

Last week, I received a summer beauty box with products that are perfect for the warm weather we’re having in Vancouver.

Beauty Box Details

Here’s an overview of the products in the Spring into Summer beauty box courtesy of Farleyco, who represents brand names found at major chains and independent drug stores across Canada.

Flexitol Heel Magic

If you’re like me, you’ve tried a lot of products to treat dry, cracked heels that don’t do the job.

Flexitol Heel Magic features an easy to use, stick format with a unique blend of moisturizers including Shea Butter, Vitamin E, and Olive Oil.

This combination of ingredients goes beyond moisturization by helping the skin’s natural healing process to repair dry, scaly, and cracked heels and feet.

You can find Flexitol Skin Care at London Drugs, Rexall Pharma Plus, Walmart, and more.

COLAB Dry Shampoo

When the weather is super hot, the last thing I want to do is blow dry my hair.

COLAB award-winning dry shampoos were created by a team of beauty insiders, including blogger Ruth Crilly (A Model Recommends).

I received a sample of COLAB Extreme Volume Dry Shampoo +, which adds body and height while refreshing hair. The formula features an extreme plumping powder that absorbs oil without creating white residue.

You can find COLAB Dry Shampoos at London Drugs, Brunet, Rexall Pharma Plus, Guardian IDA, and more.

So…? Fragrance

Instead of a heavy fragrance, I love using a body mist during the summer.

I received a sample of the So…? Pink Grapefruit Body Mist, which is a combination of citrus and fruity notes of mango and passion. It’s light and fresh, and smells delicious!

You can find So…? Body Mists at Pharmasave, Familiprix, Guardian IDA, Pharmachoice, and more.

INKredible Tattoo After Care Cream

If you plan on getting a tattoo in the near future and worry about skincare after the procedure, INKredible After Care Cream offers two benefits:

• It promotes a speedy healing process.
• It helps to keep newly tattooed skin soft and smooth.

You can find INKredible Tattoo Care at Shoppers Drug Mart, Guardian IDA, and Pharmasave.

Perspirex Plus

For excessive perspiration, Perspirex Plus Antiperspirant is a unique clinically proven solution that provides lasting protection from sweat and odour. The formula, which is perfume-free and non-staining, also minimizes irritation commonly associated with other aluminum chloride based antiperspirants.

To use Perspirex Plus, you apply it just before going to bed to completely dry, unbroken skin. You can shower as usual the following morning without re-applying.

You then apply Perspirex Plus every 3 to 7 days until you obtain the desired effect. Once the sweat is reduced, the frequency of application can be reduced to 1-2 nights a week, as necessary.

You can find Perspirex at Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, London Drugs, and most drugstores.

Thanks to Farleyco for all of these samples to get me through the summer months!

BECCA Cosmetics Soft Light Blurring Setting Powder

Hi beauties!

I hope everyone is finding a way to cope with the summer heat. 🌞

What are your summer makeup/skin issues? For me, it’s always shine control.

One product that I’ve tried recently for oily summer skin is BECCA Soft Light Blurring Setting Powder.

What I like most about this setting powder is that it goes beyond a traditional setting powder. Here’s what this powder can do:

• Act as a veil to blur imperfections
• Set makeup with a subtle radiance
• Add dimension while creating a natural-looking finish

If you’re wondering how this works, the micro-fine powder is infused with ceramic microspheres that scatter light to reduce the look of imperfections.

The powder comes in two shades: Natural Finish (golden tone) and Pink Haze, which is the shade I picked up. So far, I’m loving the vibrancy and brightening this shade adds to my complexion. A bonus is that you can use it to soften eye darkness, without cakiness that may accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.

To apply the setting powder, BECCA recommends using a kabuki brush for an even finish. I’ve found that a fan brush also works well (it also uses less of the powder, which is on the pricey side).

The powder also has versatility in that you can wear it on top of your foundation, underneath your foundation, or without any foundation.

It can also be applied throughout the day to refresh your look, in other words, to eliminate shine.

Have a great summer! 🏄🏻‍♀️🚣🏻‍♂️🧗‍♀️

Vita Liberata Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals

Hi beauties!

Has the weather warmed up where you live? In Vancouver, we’ve had plenty of clouds and sprinkles, but temps warmed up this past weekend. ☀

In the spring/summer, I like to wear less makeup. Even though I don’t spend too much time in the sun, I still like a healthy glow.

One of the latest bronzing options that I’ve tried is a self tanning product from Vita Liberata.

The Trystal Pressed Self Tanning Bronzer is the first self-tanning bronzer that features bronzing mineral coverage and a subtle tan that lasts 3-7 days.

The organic formula, which is oil-free, interacts with your moisturizer or liquid foundation to subtly tan your skin.

How to Apply

To apply this mineral bronzer, use a Kabuki brush or bronzing brush (I also apply it with a fan brush for more subtle results). Then, blend the powder onto your face, neck, and décolleté in sweeping movements.

Tip: Apply the bronzer around the cheekbones to achieve a contouring effect or, more product to your face for a deeper tan.

Options

The bronzer comes in two shades: Sunkissed (a honey glow) and Bronze (a deep shade). I tried Sunkissed, which created a natural looking tan even on my fair skin.

You can pick up the bronzer in either a pressed powder or loose powder format. Generally, I prefer pressed powder as I find loose powder a bit messy.

Overall, I was impressed with this bronzer since it created instant results, plus a healthy glow that lasted for a few days.

I’m looking forward to checking out more bronzing products from Vita Liberata this summer, like their blur products which are highly rated.
