April Glossybox "Face On"!

Hi!
I was so excited for this box!
The concept of this box was skincare and stuff that would lighten up the face for spring, so the box is called "Face On".
And I am really looking forward to using the products I got, and as usual, the review will be at the end of next month as well as the unboxing of the month's box:)
Let's do it!

(Congratulations to Felicia Noelle Donkor for winning the contest to be on the April glossy mag!)






Benefit Dew The Hoola:
What glossybox says:
Create a temporary tanned complexion with this bronzer by Benefit.
The products blends seamlessly in to the skin and gives a natural look with a lovely glow!
Apply after cleansing, on foundation if wanted.

What I think:
Yay! Benefit!
Always fun to receive something from Benefit, or other brands like this.
I am really hoping this will work well, since it is new and many beauty gurus are talking about it so....!
The only thing I would say is that I wish that the mini size (that I got) would be rose gold as the full size.

Full size 310 kr/ 26 £/ 38 $ for 30 ml.


BlowPro Heat is on Protective Daily Primer:
What glossybox says:
Prepare your hair for styling with this strengthening primer.
The hair is protected and maintains a healthy glow all day.
Great for improving the result of blow-drying!
Apply to towel-dried hair and blow-dry as usual.  

What I think:
A hair product! I am so excited for this, and I am definitely going to be trying it out.
It's basically a heat protection spray for especially blow-drying, and is also a styling product.
Really excited!

Full size 135 kr/ 11.50/ 16.50 for 250 ml.




Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum:
What Glossybox says:
Light and luxurious serum that revitalizes the skin. Nourishing ingredients like honey, amino acids, sea buckthorn oil and vitamin E provide a intensely moisturised skin that radiates. Can be used as a primer under makeup for a
perfect finish.


What I think:
This is a skincare product that is high end, and that's pretty good! Even though it is a mini size.
Sounded good, and I am excited to use it:)

Full size 340 kr/ 29 £/ 42 $ for 30 ml.



Unani Dermo Defense Face Mask:
What glossybox says:
Great moisturising facial mask that provides the skin with extra nutrition while the skin is cleaned of impurities. Use 1-2 times a week. Smooth evenly over cleansed skin and leave for 10 minutes.

What I think:
I haven't got a single face mask in my glossyboxes since I subscribed! So, fun to receive one to try. This is a full size product, which smells kind of fruity and fresh.
Another one I am excited for!

Full size 160 kr/ 14 £/ 20$ for 100 ml.





Beauty Formulas Australian Tea Tree Spot & Blemish Patches:
What glossybox says:
Treat acne effectively with these transparent, small patches! Just apply them directly on to the blemish.
Contains tea tree-oil that has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. You can leave the patch on over night for a better result.

What I think:
I really hope these don't smell too much of tea tree, because I am not the biggest fan of that smell.
If they smell too much I will probably get a head ache, but otherwise, it will be very fun to try!

36 patches for 39 kr/ 3.30 £/ 4.80 $.

April 2016 Buy and Bye!

Hi!
Today I am doing a new series here on my blog!
I have decided to call it "BUY AND BYE (of the month)"!
So, I will write a bit about a product I love and recommend (BUY), and also a product that didn't work for me or that I didn't like (BYE). 
Let's go!


BYE:
Radiant Concealer Pen by H&M:


This concealer has a brush applicator,and you have to click up to concealer by pressing the gold bit at the end, so you won't ever know how much concealer you have left!
I got it in a shade that should be light enough for me, and it doesn't do anything!
It doesn't cover up blue tones or pimples, and it isn't really that radiant either.
Why have a concealer that doesn't do anything at all?!
So, it doesn't work for me, and I don't like it.



BUY:
"Loofas":
I call this a loofa, but I am not completely sure if that is what they actually are called.
Anyway, this one is from The Body Shop, but I don't think it matters where you get them, because loads of different brans make them.
Basically, you pour some shower gel or cream on it, and rub it all over your body.
It creates loads of bubbles, and you'll only need to pour little bit on, and it will be enough.
It saves you using loads of product, and I love it!
A total BUY!



Hope you liked this!

HAUL: Viva La Diva Products!

Hi!
I won a giveaway of 10 Viva La Diva products, and so I thought I would show you what I won!
(Btw this company does not test their products on animals,
it's totally cruelty-free!) 



All of the things I got, came in this sequin bag, with their logo on it, (and everything is from Viva La Diva).
It was full of stuff, and they were not damaged or anything.
Here is what I got inside:





Wheat Germ Nail Oil:
This oil is supposed to soften your cuticles, and add moisture to the nail.
This is based on wheat germ, which I have never heard about before.
Quite fun to receive a nail oil, since I have never tried one before!
If any of you have tried it before, make sure to comment your opinions on this interesting nail oil!
I haven't tried this yet, and when I have, I might to a review on it.









 Blue Glitter Pencil Eyeliner:
This is probably my least favourite product that I got, because first of all the packaging.
It's just SO glittery!
The glitter gets everywhere!
And it looks pretty, but no, it doesn't really work out.
When I swatched it on my hand, it got quite clumpy if you press hard, and it's not that pigmented either.
I feel like it would be quite hard applying it though.
But, I haven't really tried it yet, so I can't say too much.
We will see if I even get around to using it.



Eyeshadow Stick Mrs Dj:
This eyeshadow stick though.... it is one of my favourite things I received!
It looks kind of like a other eyeshadow I have from a palette, that is from the same brand.
Anyway, it is really pretty, and I am looking forward to using this.
It says on the packaging that there is a sharpener, but I haven't figured that out yet...


 Volume Longlasting Black Mascara:
If you can't see it on the picture, I haven't opened this yet, there is still plastic around it.
Simply because I already have quite a few mascaras opened, but I might do a review on this further on, I am quite curious how well this mascara will work.
I also really like the packaging of this, it's similar to their lipsticks that I also got.

Domed Eyeshadows:
677 Posh
These three eyeshadows are quite, lets say more unusual colours, I think.
When I have swatched them, I can see that there will be fall out eyeshadow when you apply it to the lid.
The purple one called posh, is probably the least pigmented one, and it's just not really a colour I would wear.
I can do a separate post about these if you would like to see swatches!



678 Halo
This is the one I would most likely use.
It looks yellow, but when you swatch it, it's a gold shimmer eyeshadow.
Maybe it would be good for highlighting?
Again, it's not that pigmented, but I think it is the best pigmented out of the three.







679 Misty Green
 The last one is called misty green, and I think that is a good name for this one, since if you look closely, it's actually green/grey and shimmery.
But, I don't know if I will really like it, again, it's not really a shade I would go for.
So we will see how I like it after properly trying it.
You got to keep a positive attitude!:)








Dip Eyeliner Metallic Green:
This is a metallic green eyeliner! I have never really seen anyone wearing this shade of eyeliner, and tbh I don't think I will use this either.
When I swatched it, I noticed it was quite pigmented and dried fast.
So, if I got this eyeliner, but in black, I think it would be quite a good one.
If you are looking for a metallic green eyeliner, then this seems like a good one.
But, since I have only swatched it once, I can't really say that much about it.








Creme Lipsticks:
56 Love Affair
(I will be doing a separate post on these, so I won't write that much about them here)
These are creme lipsticks with softening vitamin E.
I have heard several youtubers talk about the one called Euphoria, and it is a really purple lipstick with good pigmentation!







97 Euphoria
These lipsticks do not try matte, they are supposed to soften and moisturise the lips, so I would say they are like lipsticks and lip balms at the same time.










I am very happy that I won all of these new things to try out!
This is not sponsored btw.
Also, sorry for not posting for a while, did loads of posts before, just took a little break.
Hope you liked this!
Byeeee:)
