Splat Rebellious Color Complete Kit- REVIEW

banner review pink
SPLAT Rebellious Color is “Extreme. Shocking. Expressive!”Farleyco Beauty.

I was looking for Pink Hair Colouring kit recently and this amazing opportunity came up with the Canadian Beauty Bloggers in collaboration with the amazing and wonderful Farleyco Beauty! I’m truly grateful and so excited to share with you my experience with SPLAT Rebellious Colour Complete Kit.

http://www.beautybloggers.ca/

SPLAT  Rebellious Color Complete Kit

Product description

“Splat – PINK FETISH. An extreme semi-permanent hair colour kit with truly bright, long lasting colours. From Developlus. Splat is made with a unique water soluble silicon micro-emulsion that allows for extremely vivid colours and longer-lasting colours. Splat is the only complete kit with everything you need. Kit includes colour, bleach, peroxide, gloves and easy-to-follow instructions. Lasts for 4 to 6 weeks or 20 shampoos. Available in Luscious Raspberries, Blue Envy, Lusty Lavender, Pink Fetish, Neon Green, Aqua Rush, Orange Fireballs and Multi-Colour.” – FARLEYCO.CA

MY REVIEW

I’ve never used bleach before so I decided not to use it.  The colour will last longer if you use bleach but SPLAT can be used without the bleach. I’m happy to say the formula of the hair colour doesn’t smell bad at all. I actually like the smell. The formula of the dye is very pigmented, bold and bright. It didn’t leave my hair feeling different in texture at all! My hair is still soft and silky. I can run my fingers through my hair and it feels great. I also want to mention that it didn’t stain my pillow. I was worried that it would stain my pillow but it didn’t.

Here are some TIPS to help you before using SPLAT REBELLIOUS COLORS.

  1. I  highly recommend that you wear a top you don’t need anymore and a plastic cape.
  2. Buy an extra pair of gloves from the dollar store because things can get really messy.
  3. Have a hair cap ready.
  4. Make sure your hair is dry.
  5. Place Vaseline on around your hairline, forehead and on the ears.
  6. Wear protective gloves.
  7. You do NOT have to bleach your hair. You can just use the Dye as is.
  8.  I highly recommend that you only colour the length of your hair and not your scalp. I used my hands and I used a little dye at a time for the parts of my hair that I wanted coloured.
  9. When you add the colour to your hair, do not put your hair all in a bun at the top of your head. Your scalp will stain with the hair colour. Just get a plastic cap from the dollar store and place it over your hair in it’s natural position.
  10. When you rinse your hair get as close to the bathtub as possible because the dye will splash everywhere.
  11. If you get dye on your countertop you can use rubbing alcohol to remove stains.
  12. If you are using the bleach do not get it on your scalp.
  13. If you want just strands of colour use hair foils so the dye doesn’t get on other parts of the hair.
  14. A hair dye brush is helpful for applying the colour on the hair strands. I used my hands with the gloves and it was fine also.
  15. Please read all the instructions before using this product and also watch some tutorials on youtube. You can learn a lot from watching others.
  16. Make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed.

Here are my results

 SPLAT REBELLIOUS COLOR COMPLETE KIT in PINK FETISH ROSE 

I’m really happy with the way my hair turned out. I really love SPLAT and yes I will be using it again. I love that I can just use the dye without the bleach.  I love that the formula doesn’t smell bad and I also love that the colour is bold and bright and lasts long. My overall experience is a positive one. I’m really pleased and happy.

Travel Essentials

tropical banner

Hello my lovely readers! I truly hope you are enjoying your Summer! What are some of your plans? Will you be travelling soon? Today I’m sharing with you a few amazing products that are important to carry with you when travelling and I believe they are truly essential for your travel bag. I highly recommend that you tag all your bags!  You never know if your bag will be misplaced or left behind.  This happens all the time and having a name tag for your luggage is very important. Have your name and address to your destination written on the label. It will also make things easier to find when you are picking up your luggage.  Sometimes  bags are similar to others and people sometimes take the wrong bag thinking it’s theirs. So use those tags!


Don’t forget to take sample sizes of shampoo and conditioner! They are small and perfect for traveling. You don’t want to make your bag heavy so go for sample size depending on how long you are staying at your destination. Sometimes hotels don’t have nice smelling shampoos. I am loving Baylis and Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit! Smells delicious and refreshing!


This is a MUST with my family. My children get their hands on everything and this  X3 Clean hand sanitizer is very important when traveling.  It is Alcohol-free, fragrance-free and residue-free. X3 Clean will not dry or irritate delicate skin. It is Non Toxic and very safe for children. I highly recommend this for everyone! It’s perfect for hand bags and you can tuck these in every pocket and bag.

Keep germs away with X3 Clean Hand Sanitizer!

@bestdayblogger  *X3 Clean Pocket-Sized Hand Sanitizer Available at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmaprix, IDA, Guardian, and Value Drug Mart Stores.


Steripod Toothbrush Sanitizer is so crucial when traveling! This is a clip for your toothbrush. It covers the toothbrush so that germs do not get on it and also it keeps the toothbrush fresh and clean. The Steripod toothbrush protector works by using “thyme active vapors” to keep your toothbrush smelling fresh and clean. The compound is encapsulated in plastic with small holes that allow the thymol vapors to escape and surround your brush bristles. It’s the vapors that do all the work. The entire steripod is sealed in medical quality enclosure-ensuring that the compound is not activated by air flow before you unwrap. All you have to do is clip the Steripod on your brush. Did you know that you should replace your toothbrush and Steripod every three months? Good tip to know!

*Available at: Select Walmart, Select IDA, Select Guardian, and Select Pharmasave Stores.


The COLAB VOLUME EXTREME is very important to have in my travel bag. I also use this often at home when I don’t have time to wash my hair. I also use this to  give my hair some boost and volume. This is the only Dry Shampoo that I use. COLAB Volume Extreme was developed to revive and refresh hair and it totally does! This is sheer and invisible formula that gives lots of volume to my hair. It refreshes my roots and the powder really plumps my hair and and gives it a lift and texture. If you want big hair this will give you the ultimate big hair boost you need! I also would like to mention that it smells so good and refreshing!

*Available at London Drugs, Jean Coutu, Lawtons, Select Pharmasave, PharmaChoice, Select Brunet, Select Familiprix, Select Guardian, Select IDA and select Uniprix Stores.


Why didn’t I know about this product before? I can’t express how amazing The Velvet Touch Natural Hair Remover is! The Velvet Touch Natural hair remover is perfect to have in your travel bag. You know when you shave your legs and sometimes you miss some hairs? I do it all the time!  This is perfect for getting rid of those pesky missed hairs! This is also amazing for the little stubble comes back and you don’t feel like shaving. This is perfect because its gentle and it will get rid of the stubble and the hairs you missed. You just work it in a circular motion and you are left with smooth soft skin. This is gentle on the skin and I really love it! 

   Velvet Touch is Available at Select Walmart, Select Rexall, Jean Coutu, Select Lawtons, Select Pharma Plus, Select London Drugs, Select IDA, Select Guardian, Select Proxim, Value Drug Mart, Overwaitea and Army & Navy Stores.
