I review my favourite Mandy’s and Julienne products and you can WIN! (CLOSED)

I haven’t visited a salon for a lip wax or brow tint in years. Why? Because Mandy’s hair removal products and Julienne’s dye kits make it super quick and easy to do at home. And at only a fraction of the cost I might add!

Let’s start with Mandy’s.

Mandy's Long Live Smooth Pretty Please Charlie

Mandy’s comprehensive range of at-home hair removal solutions will leave you looking great and feeling fabulous. Our products, with beautifully fragranced natural extracts and step-by-step instructions, will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and pampered. Mandy’s affordable range of the finest quality hot & warm waxes, soft waxes, lotions and creams are designed to suit your needs, preference and lifestyle.

My favourite Mandy’s product is their film wax. I have been using it for years to wax my lip, as well as those of most of my family members’. And in all honesty, the chin also gets a wax now and then. We are a hairy bunch of women. Mandy’s Film Wax is extremely easy to use (it’s a microwavable wax) and it works very well with our sensitive skins. Once you get the hang of using it, you’ll never look back. The product comes in a small tub for use on the face and a big tub for legs and body.

A friend of mine swears by Mandy’s Wax Strips. Once again, easy to use and very effective.

Mandy's Wax Strips

 

Mandy’s offers a hair removal product to suit everyone’s needs. The product ranges include hair removal creams, wax strips and a variety of hot waxes. Mandy’s also has a cream bleach for ladies who prefer to lighten instead of remove.

Mandy’s has saved me so much time, effort and money over the years that I can’t imagine getting rid of my hairy upper lip any other way. Learn more about Mandy’s HERE.

Did you know that you can tint your own brows and lashes at home? I have been doing it for years. Julienne Permascara Lash and Brow Dye Kits is another product that has saved me so much money and effort. Why go to a salon (and honestly pay a fortune in comparison) when you can tint your own brows or lashes?

I haven’t tinted my own lashes in a while as I wear mascara every day, but used to love it when I was younger. Beautifully dark lashes during the summer holidays and never having to worry about applying waterproof mascara when you go swimming, sounds very good, doesn’t it?

Julienne Permascara Lash and Brow Dye Kits

I have been using Julienne Permascara in Dark Brown to tint my brows for what seems like forever. It is so easy. The kit includes the tint/dye, cream developer, a mascara wand, a plastic insert that can be used as little mixing bowl, protective tint pads and step-by-step instructions. Tinting your brows can’t be easier and the whole process only takes a couple of minutes. These kits come in Light Brown, Dark Brown and Midnight Black.

Africology Renewing Facial Therapy Serum

Africology is a local natural, eco-friendly and holistic spa and skincare company that I have heard much about, but only recently had the opportunity to experience. I realise that you should not necessarily judge a brand based on only one product, but I am smitten.

Africology Renewing Facial Therapy Serum

I am currently using the Africology Renewing Facial Therapy Serum and it is absolute bliss.

Africology Renewing Facial Therapy Serum review pretty please charlie babies behind bars

 ‘Actively defends sensitive and reaction-prone skin with its all-actives preparation.  A brown algae stabilised in jojoba oil, Padinami is cultivated in the Mediterranean sea in marine farms and handpicked by the local population. Jojoba oil is the ideal carrier oil as it is easily absorbed and resists oxidation. By naturally stimulating glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis, Padinami restores elasticity in the skin and makes it look younger. The skin is plumper, firmer, and revitalised.’

I haven’t used it for long enough to comment on the long term anti-ageing effects, but my skin has responded very favourably to this serum. My skin is very sensitive during winter and the moment I apply this serum my skin feels calmed. My skin soaks it up. I prefer to use the Renewing Facial Therapy Serum at night as it is an oil and my combination skin can turn grease ball if I apply it in the morning. After use, I wake looking fresh and calm. It is an absolute treat. It is recommended for all skin types, but will definitely be more beneficial for dry and damaged skin. It has a beautiful therapeutic aroma and 4 drops is more than enough for my face and neck. You can visit Africology HERE to get yours. It retails for R690 for 30ml.

PLEASE NOTE!! For every Skin Renewal Serum ordered until the end of August, Africology will donate all proceeds from the sale to Babies Behind Bars, a non-profit that assist mothers in prison whose children are born during their sentence.
