Keeping Silver and Gray Hair Silky, Shiny, and Manageable

Biosilk Silk Therapy helps keep hair silky, shiny, and manageable.

The struggle is real people!

Hey there! How are you today? I hope doing very well!

If you’ve been growing out your natural gray or silver hair like I have, then you definitely know what I am talking about. Silver and gray hair has a mind of it’s own, sometimes minute to minute. But there is help, thank goodness!

Avon has a line of hair care made from beeswax, honey, and royal jelly called Elastine PropoliThera, that I’ve been talking about here for a while, that I love, consisting of shampoos, conditioners, treatments, etc., which I am continuing to use, and I have also added a new item to my hair care regime, which has really brought in extra silkiness and shine. You may have heard of this product before, it’s Biosilk Silk Therapy.

Biosilk Silk Therapy is wonderful for gray and silver hair. https://www.avon.com/product/biosilk-silk-therapy-72030?rep=mybeauty

Biosilk Silk Therapy is made with silk proteins that help strengthen, moisturize and improve hair’s elasticity.

KEY INGREDIENT:
Silk protein… The natural wonder for hair
• Strength – One of the strongest fibers in the world, silk contains 17 of the 19 amino acids found in hair; it bonds and builds hair from the inside out.
• Moisture – Holds up to 2.5-3X its weight in moisture, to improve elasticity.
• Shine – Provides unparalleled shine due to its triangular molecular structure.
• Protection – Helps shield hair from UV rays, heat, humidity and other environmental stressors.

I use the Biosilk Silk Therapy after shampooing and conditioning. I first towel dry my hair then apply the Elastine PropoliThera Hair Oil Serum, then the Biosilk Silk Therapy. And as you can see pictured, I also spritz in some Propoli Thera Volume Spray if I desire a little extra lift. For my picture above, I did not use the Volume Spray, only the 2 serums, for a sleeker look.

I used these products right before a recent trip, and they really kept my hair looking it’s best. I shampooed and fixed my hair the night before our trip and then set it with rollers the morning of, before we left. I had planned to shampoo and fix my hair again that evening, but was too tired by the time we got back to our hotel room after dinner and visiting a very fun hidden Speakeasy. 🙂 (I’ll show you some pics in my next blog post.) But anyway, the next morning I was expecting a possibly frizzy situation and having to shampoo and fix again before heading out to explore, but you what? My hair still looked really great. It was soft and silky, still had body, and my style still looked fresh. So, all I had to do was brush and go. That hardly ever happens since I’ve been growing my hair longer from my past pixie style. The combo of the Propoli Thera Hair Oil Serum made with beeswax, honey, and royal jelly, combined with the Biosilk Silk Therapy made with silk protein, really makes a difference. I was only using the PropoliThera Serum and it is wonderful, but once I began using it in conjunction with the Biosilk, it’s changed my hair game to one with even more positive results, and the Biosilk definitely puts the shine back in my hair. A definite added bonus. My silvers start shining as soon as I apply it.

I hope you give this winning combo a try for yourself, whether or not you have silver or gray hair. Let me know if you do, I love to hear your feedback!

Hair Care for Silver and Gray Hair

Beautiful Hair Care Products made from Honey and Royal Jelly for Smooth, Shiny Hair Full of Body. (Use Experience and Review)

Elastine Propoli Thera Hair Care

Thank you bees indeed! And thank you Avon, for bringing us such a fabulous hair care system. The Elastine Propoli Thera Hair Care Line is full of hair care products for every need, and all are made using products made by (and used by) bees.

The products you see pictured above are the ones that I currently use. The Propoli Thera Damage Repair Shampoo, Damage Repair Conditioner, Hair Oil Serum, and Volume Spray.

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, then you may know that I’ve been growing out my hair from a very short undercut Pixie style. I am now 1 year into my grow out. I was using Dr. Groot Shampoo to help with my grow-out and it worked awesomely, and I am now in the managing the grown out natural gray hair stage. I had originally went with a very short hair style because of my thinning hair due to Menopause. I am now past that point and ready to try a longer style again, so there is my background story regarding all this for you. 🙂

My hair has thankfully grown out fuller than I thought it would (thank you Dr. Groot Thickening Shampoo), and I have been using the Propoli Hair Oil Serum and Volume Spray the entire time as well. I’ve added the Shampoo and Conditioner to my full time lineup after trying them (in travel size) in my Avon Travel Kit, plus also testing some salon shampoos and conditioners and seeing which products did a better job at giving me 1) smooth hair (gray hair has a different texture), 2) shiny hair (do not like dull silvers…, and 3) body (gotta have fullness and bounce!).

After testing for over a month, Propoli won out every time on all three counts, and my hair held up better the next day after shampooing and styling.

The Propoli line also has Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner, but since I tried the Damage Repair duo and liked it so much, I went with those as my choice. My hair is not damaged, but with gray hair, it can have that type of feel; kind of dry and frizzy, and since this ticks off the body and smoothness boxes, I am very happy with my results using the Damage Repair pair.

The Hair Oil Serum and Volume Spray have been total game changers throughout my 1 year hair grow-out experience and they were a necessity when my hair was short as well. As soon as I towel dry my hair, it wants to automatically go in freak-out frizz mode. Applying the Oil Serum is like magic. It calms my hair instantly and smooths the texture. I then spritz the Volume Spray all over at the roots and I’m ready to style. There is no sticky residue at all. I do go lightly with the Oil Serum. A little goes a long way. I’ve had the same bottle for over a year now and I still have about a 1/3 left, so it is a great investment for $15.99.

Here is Avon’s official description, and the main ingredients are basically the same for all.

Catch the buzz and treat your hair to some self care. Our rejuvenating hair serum is made with beeswax, honey and royal jelly (what bees eat), and will help strengthen, protect, moisturize and smooth hair. Not to mention, it adds shine as you style! 5.7 fl. oz.

Our Elastine PropoliThera is formulated to add new life to your hair. Free of sulfates and parabens, it infuses every strand with healthy-looking body and shine.

BENEFITS
• Repairs damaged hair
• Mends split ends
• Suitable for all hair types, color-treated hair, permed hair or chemically-treated hair
• Paraben-free, sulfate-free

Key Ingredients:
• Propolis (tree sap plus beeswax) – Contains minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to help restore weak and brittle hair.
• Honey (made by bees from the nectar of flowers) – Helps restore moisture.
• Royal jelly (the food of bees) – Helps lock in shine and restore hair’s natural luster.

TO USE
Use after shampoo and conditioner. Apply 1-2 pumps to damp or dry hair and leave in.

I am linking you here to the entire line, so you can see all the great products available and choose the ones that suit your needs. You’ll find deep conditioning packets, curl cream, volume mousse, a hair mask, and more.

Enjoy, and enjoy beautifully shiny, smooth, full hair! I know I am!

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Summer Fashion Look in Sunset Colors + 9 1/2 Month Pixie Grow-Out Update

2 Piece Shirt and Short Set in Sunset Colors from Avon. https://www.avon.com/product/2-piece-top-and-short-set-128209?rep=mybeauty — Summer Fashion Look in the Colors of Sunset

I love the colors of a Summer sunset, don’t you? I put this Summery fashion look together with Avon’s new 2 Piece Top and Short Set. It is super comfy and is a two tone knit (very nice quality) in the shades of bright pink and orange/yellow. Seems my camera picked it up as more orange, but it is more bright pink, like the product picture. I knew this would look fabulous with the new Sunshine Shell Necklace (genuine Mother-of-Pearl) (Update: This necklace just sold out, but you can find other gorgeous necklaces – click here. Checkout the Sunset Shimmer Pendant Necklace), and to complete the look, fmg Glimmer Satin Lipstick in the shade Firebolt.

Sunset Shimmer Necklace from Avon. https://www.avon.com/product/sunset-shimmer-pendant-necklace-129185?rep=mybeauty — Sunset Shimmer Pendant Necklace

These colors are warmer than I normally wear, but with the bright pink in the short suit I can pull it off quite well for my cool complexion. I’ve been in to gold tones this year, so I like to be able to find ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe. This is a fun set. Very comfy as I said, and nice enough to wear with a pretty pair of platform sandals to go shopping or run errands. I think I’ll definitely be wearing this on our next road trip. I could ride all day and still be comfortable. The waist band is not too tight at all. I am wearing size Large (12-14), and there is plenty of room.

I hope you find your favorite Avon fashion look(s). They have some really cute stuff out this year, and at great prices.

Happy shopping!

P.S.

I’m at 9 1/2 months in my pixie haircut grow-out. I’m still enjoying using the Dr. Groot Microbiome Scalp Fortifying Hair Thickening Shampoo and the Dr. Groot Premium Scalp Cleansing Brush. I really feel that my hair is growing in thicker than before. It was thinning quite a bit and that is why I decided to cut it in a very short pixie to begin with. I’m so happy with how it’s growing out that I am going to let it grow longer than I had planned and see how it goes. I’ve never had all 1 length hair before, so I’m going for it!

9 1/2 month pixie hair cut grow out update. Jfaysbeauty.blog — 9 1/2 Months Pixie Grow-Out Update

Undercut Pixie 5 Month Grow Out with a Lot of Help from Dr. Groot and Honey Bees

Hey everyone! How are you doing? I hope you said fabulous!

And who is Dr. Groot you ask? Well, “he” is a wonderful thickening shampoo that I’ve been using for about a month now, I’d say. This has really done wonders for my hair. As I’ve matured, my hair has become much thinner at the top, and with my going all natural (gray), my hair is a different texture as well (That’s where the Honey Bees come in). I’ll tell you all about that, but first Dr. Groot Microbiome Scalp Fortifying Hair Thickening Shampoo.

Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo and Scalp Massager Brush from Avon youravon.com/mybeauty — Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo and Scalp Massager Brush

This set (Dr. Groot Hair Thickening Shampoo & Scalp Massager Brush) has helped my hair so much. My hair is feeling and looking much thicker at the top. I can’t see through it as much anymore, and it is styling fabulously just with blow-drying with a round brush. You can see the back of my hair is growing out pretty fast too. It was shaved at the back and along the sides. My sides have grown out to almost completely covering my ears, but I’ve been keeping those tucked behind my ears till they get a little longer.

The Dr. Groot Scalp Massager Brush feels so wonderful. I really enjoy shampooing with this. It is so relaxing, plus I think it is really stimulating my scalp to grow more hair. Here is a link to the complete Dr. Groot line.

And here is Avon’s description of the Dr. Groot Microbiome Scalp Fortifying Hair Thickening Shampoo and how it works:

INTRODUCING DR. GROOT MICROBIOME SCALP & HAIR CARE
Your solution to thinning hair. Infused with para-probiotics and prebiotics, these formulas help restore your scalp’s invisible microbiome shield of healthy flora for healthier scalp and hair.

Get to the root. Made with coconut oil, this fortifying shampoo deep cleanses as it helps moisturize dry scalp and hair. Contains natural ginger and ginseng to help soothe redness and itching, and biotin and caffeine to help thicken hair. 13.5 fl. oz.

BENEFITS
• Infused with para-probiotics and prebiotics, it helps restore your scalp’s invisible microbiome shield of healthy flora for healthier scalp and hair
• With natural ginger and ginseng to help soothe redness and itching and biotin and caffeine to help thicken hair
• No sulfates, parabens, or silicones
• Use products individually or as part of regimen

TO USE
After soaking the hair and scalp with warm water, apply an appropriate amount evenly to the hair and scalp, massage and then rinse thoroughly with water

Okay, so that is phase 1 for me. Growing out thicker hair. Phase 2, styling my thin hair. This is one of the main reasons I went short undercut pixie in the first place. My hair was thinning and looking flat and drab. Well…. now I have 2 new secret weapons for this purpose, and it is all thanks to those sweet and fabulous Honey Bees.

Elastine Propoli Thera Hair Care Styling Treatments formulated from Honey Bees youravon.com/mybeauty — Propoli Thera Hair Care Styling Treatments

I love, love, love these 2. The Propoli Thera Hair Oil Serum, and the Propoli Thera Volume Spray. I wouldn’t even want to try to style my hair now without these 2.

Avon says “Our rejuvenating hair serum is made with beeswax, honey and royal jelly (what bees eat), and will help strengthen, protect, moisturize and smooth hair. Not to mention, it adds shine as you style!” I truly concur.

And about their Volume Spray, “Catch the buzz and nourish dry, thin and weak hair with the bee goodness of honey, vitamin-enriched propolis extract and royal jelly for healthy-looking body and shine, plus hydrolyzed collagen to infuse every strand with moisture for lustrous volume.

This volumizing spray adds weightless volume and lustrous texture to thinning hair while leaving no residue. Pumps up volume to boost flat hair, and leaves your locks feeling soft and light as air.” Yes, yes, and yes!

The texture of my gray hair is automatically transformed as soon as I apply the Hair Oil Serum. My bangs are almost dry and kind of fuzzy when towel-dried, but as soon as I put a little pump of this serum in my hands, rub them together, and apply, my hair is much more luxurious. A little of this goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed. I tend to use one pump amount (that’s a small pump, about a dime sized amount) to my bang and side areas, and then another small pump for my crown and back of my head.

I then follow that with spritzes of the Volume Spray. I concentrate most of it in my bang and top of my head areas, but I do apply a little to the back and sides.

Then I blow-dry my hair with a round brush and it is looking and feeling fabulous! No other styling tools needed at this point. I’ve actually just been styling it with my fingers. I used to (before my pixie cut) have to tease my hair to get any volume, but not any more. After blow-drying, I just kind of toss it around with my fingers, and there is volume and it stays! It truly is unbelievable, but you can see for yourself, my results.

I hope you give these wonderful hair products a try. I truly think you’ll be amazed. I know I am, and I am much more positive about growing my hair out again.

Cheers to thicker, shinier, and longer hair!

Dr. Groot Hair-Thickening Shampoo

Looking for a solution for your thinning hair? I know I’ve been… Plus a very itchy scalp lately.

I know it’s all due to hormone changes plus heredity, but you know, my thinking is that there has to be something that can be done to help.

I was very excited to see Avon add the Dr. Groot hair products to their hair care line-up, and especially happy to see this Microbiome Hair-Thickening Shampoo. And just recently they added the Dr. Groot Scalp Massager. I was like, “Oh yeah! That is definitely what I need!”.

I couldn’t wait to get the box opened when these arrived. They came in right before I was headed to the shower, and they definitely came along with me. 🙂 I’ve used this system 3 times so far, so it’s a little early to give a full results report yet, but I looooove the Scalp Massager. It feels soooo good… And I can say, that I am already experiencing less itchiness, thank goodness. I’ve tried a lot of different products to relieve my scalp itchiness and nothing has worked thus far, but this shampoo is giving me hope. I’ve not been awakened from my slumber to scratch my head since using this. I know this may be a bit TMI, but hey, if I’m going through this as part of the change in life, I’m sure there may be others of you who may be seeking relief as well, so I do what I can to share and perhaps help a fellow menopauser (or just someone with dry scalp or thinning hair) out.

Here is Avon’s official description with what is in this formulation and why:

• Use products individually or as part of regimen

TO USE

I am certainly looking forward to it thickening my hair as I am attempting to grow it out. Finger’s crossed this will be a great solution. I feel that using the Scalp Massager along with the shampoo should really invigorate growth as it soothes my poor itchy head. 🙂

New Year’s 2022 Spicy Makeup and Hair Goals

New Year's 2022 Spicy Makeup Look and Hair Goals. Jfay's Beauty Blog — Cheers to a New Year!

Hey everyone! Are you ready to ring in 2022? I know I am! I’m very excited for this coming New Year and all the possibilities it holds.

I’ve always enjoyed getting dressed up for a New Year’s party, and for this year’s look, I decided on black and gold, so to compliment this look I went with spicy eyeshadow tones, using 2 of Avon’s newest eyeshadow palettes in Minx and Maven, and a pretty (I call it a plum color, but it’s name is Wild Rose) lipstick shade to tie it all together.

Avon Glimmer Eyeshadows in Minx and Maven, Wild Rose Lipstick, new Cashmere 24 HR Eyeliner, and Love at 1st Lash Mascara. — Makeup by Avon

The eyeshadow shades in Minx and Maven remind me of cinnamon, cinnamon sugar and nutmeg tones. These were fun to mix and match, using both satin and shimmery textures. These Glimmer Eyeshadow palettes glide on so nicely and blend together very well. I sometimes use my fingertip to apply the light shimmery shades for a nice final highlight to my eyelids. I did that this time using the lighter cinnamon shimmer shade in the Minx palette (The Minx palette is the one pictured on the right.). It adds a nice festive touch.

My lipstick choice was Avon’s Glimmer Satin Lipstick in the shade of Wild Rose. You receive a free package of Avon’s Makeup Remover Wipes right now with the purchase of 2 Glimmer products. That’s awesome. I just saw it now on both the eyeshadow and lipstick pages, so yay!

I also used my new favorite eyeliner, Avon’s fmg Cashmere 24HR Cream Eyeliner, in Pitch Black. You know I love the drama. 🙂 And my very favorite mascara, Love at 1st Lash.

Now I’m ready to go party! Woo hoo!

And I did mention hair goals for the New Year, didn’t I? I’ve decided to grow out my pixie cut this year and try something different. I still love wearing short hair, but I am aiming for something just a little longer on top. You will not believe who’s image popped in my head when I was thinking of growing out my hair. Miranda Priestly (character from The Devil Wears Prada)!

2022 Hair Goals. Pixie grow out to Miranda Priestly look. Jfay's Beauty Blog.

I’m 3 months into the grow-out, so you’ll be seeing my hair in different stages of growth.

2 products that I’m using are helping me tremendously during this grow-out period, and they will most likely be key in enjoying my hair longer on top. Avon’s Elastine PropoliThera Hair Serum and Volume Mist.

Avon Elastine PropoliThera Hair Oil Serum and Volume Mist. — Avon’s Elastine PropoliThera Hair Serum and Volume Mist

These have both been great game-changers for me. My hair has gotten more and more fine over the years, plus with my natural grays/silvers, they change the texture of my hair as well, so growing my hair out really wasn’t an option till I began using these wonderful hair products.

Firstly, the Hair Oil Serum. This is made with beeswax, honey, and royal jelly. It is formulated to bring new life and shine to your hair. And it really does. When I get out of the shower and towel dry my hair, the top of my hair is automatically dry looking, and I cannot wait to apply this. It brings new life to my hair, just as Avon describes it. It helps to moisturize, strengthen, protect, and smooth my hair. If you have gray or silver hair like me, then you know that around the sideburn area our hair tends to fuzz up, and this really helps diminish that. So wonderful!

After I apply the serum (oh, and a little tiny dab of the serum goes a long way), I then spray in the Volume Spray, especially to the front and top of my hair, and rub/distribute that in. This is made to nourish thin, dry hair. It’s made with honey, propolis extract, royal jelly, plus hydrolized collagen to infuse hair with moisture for lustrous volume. And that’s definitely what I need – volume. And that’s what it gives me – volume. It is not heavy or sticky in the least. I cannot even tell that it’s there till I dry my hair, and my hair is full and feeling awesome.

I cannot speak highly enough of these 2 wonders, except that they are total game-changers for me in my hair enjoyment and being able to now be brave to try a longer style, so yay! I am going to be trying the shampoos as well. There are 2 types of shampoo/conditioner combos and I want to try each. There is a repair shampoo and conditioner and a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. I am on the wait list for the volumizing duo and have the repair duo on their way to me now. I’ll definitely let you know how I enjoy each.

I hope you have really fun New Year’s plans. Stay safe, and I’ll see you in 2022! Let me know your beauty goals for the coming New Year. Always feel free to comment and share here.

Till next time, stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Propoli Thera: Restore Your Hair’s Luster and Thickness with Bee Goodness

Rejuvenating hair care from bees, formulated to add new life to hair. Propoli Thera from Avon. — Formulated to Add New Life to Hair

Hello everyone! How are you today? I hope doing very well.

I’m so excited for Fall’s arrival this week. How about you?

In my excitement for Fall and my excitement for this new bee goodness hair care line from Avon, I was really thrilled that my new hair products are actually in Fall colors so my photoshoot could be (bee) in the spirit of the season.

Bees, honey, sunflowers… All go very well together, don’t you think? Hope it helps get you in the spirit too. But, we’re here for these fabulous hair products. And I mean fabulous. I’ve been so excited to use these two in particular. The new Propoli Thera Hair Oil Serum and Volume Spray.

As you’ve most likely seen, my hair is now it’s natural color. I love sporting my “silvers” as I lovingly refer to my hair color, and I also love my short pixie hair style. It is low maintenance, but I still have a couple of issues that I deal with in styling my hair, so I’m very happy that Avon now has this new hair care line that is infused with bee goodness and is a very healthy solution for my needs.

Firstly, with natural gray or silver hair, if you have it yourself, then you know that it can tend to be more on the dry side. Mine is soft, but still could be more supple, plus I really love my silvers to shine, so this Propoli Thera Oil Serum is the perfect ticket for me. And oh man, it smells really good too. I only need a very very small dot of this. I rub it between my hands, and then disperse throughout my (still damp) hair. It is not oily or sticky. It just instantly makes my hair feel like it has new life in it. More supple, like when I used to color it (just for that reason). My Husband was so impressed with this that he’s even using it himself, and that is a first, believe me. But it does add extra shine to my silvers as well. I really love this. Here is Avon’s description for you:

Catch the buzz and treat your hair to some self care. Our rejuvenating hair serum is made with beeswax, honey and royal jelly (what bees eat), and will help strengthen, protect, moisturize and smooth hair. Not to mention, it adds shine as you style! 5.7 fl. oz.

Our Elastine PropoliThera is formulated to add new life to your hair. Free of sulfates and parabens, it infuses every strand with healthy-looking body and shine.

BENEFITS
• Repairs damaged hair
• Mends split ends
• Suitable for all hair types, color-treated hair, permed hair or chemically-treated hair
• Paraben-free, sulfate-free

Key Ingredients:
• Propolis (tree sap plus beeswax) – Contains minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to help restore weak and brittle hair.
• Honey (made by bees from the nectar of flowers) – Helps restore moisture.
• Royal jelly (the food of bees) – Helps lock in shine and restore hair’s natural luster.

TO USE
Use after shampoo and conditioner. Apply 1-2 pumps to damp or dry hair and leave in.

And yes, it does, restore hair’s natural luster. That’s a great way to describe it.

Propoli Thera Hair Oil Serum locks in moisture to restore hair's natural luster and shine. — Avon Elastine PropoliThera Hair Oil Serum

The regular price is $18.00, but when you shop my Avon store, it is $15.79. This is going to last me a long time with the little tiny drop that I use. So a great value.

Up next, my second hair issue is thinness. I know this is hereditary since my Mom had really thin hair. It’s mainly in my bangs area, right there in full front display, so I have to work at making my hair look thicker. When I visit my hair stylist, they spray a volumizing spray in my hair before blow drying and that seems to make a big difference, but at $50.00 a bottle, I passed. BUT, when I saw that Avon now has a volumizing spray within this new line, I was super excited, and knew I had to give it a try. And bonus, it’s $15.00 on my Avon website – Yay!

Propoli Thera Volume Spray for healthy looking body and shine. From Avon. — Avon Elastine PropoliThera Volume Mist

This works really well. After I apply the Hair Oil Serum, I spritz a little of this in my bang area, of course, and then throughout the top and crown of my head. It doesn’t take a lot, and again, this is not sticky like a hair styling product may be. I cannot even tell it’s there, but my hair can. It is a lot fuller when I blow dry, and this smells really really good just like the Serum. It’s hard to describe the aroma. It’s very light, kind of a floral + perhaps a slight honey back note. It’s not overpowering, but does linger and makes me happy to smell it. My Husband loves the aroma as well.

Here is Avon’s description for you:

INTRODUCING ELASTINE PROPOLITHERA STYLING BOOSTERS
Catch the buzz and nourish dry, thin and weak hair with the bee goodness of honey, vitamin-enriched propolis extract and royal jelly for healthy-looking body and shine, plus hydrolyzed collagen to infuse every strand with moisture for lustrous volume.

This volumizing spray adds weightless volume and lustrous texture to thinning hair while leaving no residue. Pumps up volume to boost flat hair, and leaves your locks feeling soft and light as air. 6.7 fl. oz.

BENEFITS
• Adds weightless volume
• Adds lustrous texture to thinning hair

TO USE
Apply to towel-dried or dry hair. Pairs perfectly with Elastine Propolithera Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner.

And that is a very good point. I will have to try the Shampoo and Conditioner next. If they’re as great as these two products, then I know I’ll love them too. And I bet they smell really great!

I hope you’ll give these two hair products a try for yourself. There are actually 11 products in the Proppoli Thera line. You can check them all out here. There’s a hair mask, a curl cream, leave in conditioner, and more.

Till next time, remember to stay fabulous and follow your joy!

Large Avon Beauty Haul Unboxing!

Large Avon Haul Unboxing. Includes free gifts! — Avon Goodies + Free Gifts!

Woo Hoo! Avon came calling today, and in a large box! It’s always so exciting to receive my Avon goodies, and today I had extra, as my Sister In-Law placed her order with mine.

If you did not know before now, Avon has been adding new categories to their line-up, including kitchen items, and you can see that she ordered 2 large 14 piece plastic food storage sets (these are fabulous!). For ordering these 2 food storage sets, she received the super gorgeous Yvette Iconic Bubble Bath for free! I was so excited to get to see Yvette in person. She is so lovely. My Sister In-Law is thrilled to get her. And then for her Granddaughter, she ordered a Bath and Body Collection from the Beauty is in the Stars Personalized Sets for Your Zodiac Sign Catalog and they chose the Leo (The Fierce One) Set which includes Elastine PropoliThera Rejuvenating Volume Spray, Perioe Royal Black Bee Honey Mint Toothpaste, Chi Essentials Replenishing Shampoo, and Chi Moisturizing Conditioner. With this set they received a free Veilment CBD Cooling Body Roll-On. So awesome! And of course, the pretty butterfly necklace and earring set. This was on sale in the Good Buys Catalog.

Avon Beauty Haul with Mission Luxereve Luxury Skin Care and Glimmer Eyeshadow Palette from Avon. — I Earned My Avon Commemorative Keychain!

And for my Avon goodies, look what arrived! I earned an Avon 135th Anniversary Commemorative Keychain! It is a really nice size and really pretty. I will treasure this gift.

I am also very excited to receive more of the Mission Luxereve Luxury Skin Care. I am trying the Eye Cream and Essence along with the Serum and Cream that I’ve already tried (and just blogged about it’s fabulousness in my last post – go check that out!), can’t wait to try them.

I also ordered my 4th new Glimmer Eyeshadow P alette. This one is called Vixen and has shimmery silver and steely gray shades plus a matte black. You know I’ll be showing you this one later in a demo post.

Last but not least, 2 more bars of my favorite must-have Moisturizing Bar Soaps with Coconut Oil and Olive Oil. I love this stuff.

So yeah, there you have it — A really nice sized Avon Haul today with lots of awesomeness to enjoy.

Come on by and get in on the fun yourself — You can shop my Avon store anytime (24/7), from anywhere in the U.S., and it will ship directly to your door, and you can have fun unboxing your very own Avon Haul – Yay!

Will love to see what you get!
