August/September Favourites!
Hi!
Today is the last day of this "week of posts"!
This week is a comeback, and after this week I will post more blog posts. Soon I will post a haul/review of korean makeup, hope you'll like that!
Anyway, I have quite a few favourites from these past two months, so let's go:
Benefit They're Real Tinted Lash Primer:
This can be used as a primer under your mascara.
So, basically if you use this and a mascara on top, your lashes will look even longer and flawless than if you just used your mascara.
Anyways, I use this on it's own because I like how it looks by itself too. It looks very natural because it's dark brown, but it still lifts your lashes and makes them longer.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze:
I got this because I saw youtubers like Zoella mention this, and it is really good!
It's easy to work with, and this doesn't look patchy either. It just feels like it blends on to the skin so nicely, so it isn't hard to use either.
I got mine in the shade 5, because the other shades would be too light for me. Perfect for warming up the face and making your tan "last longer"!
Love it

Studio 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner:
A brow pencil in the shade "Universal", that I got in a Glossybox. Been really enjoying the brow pencil side, the highlight side is quite hard and a colour that I am not a huge fan of.
studio10beauty.com/products/brow-lift-perfecting-liner
Babylips Peach Kiss:
Just a nice, light shimmery bronze colour that I used a lot this summer. It doesn't feel heavy, but unfortunately, babylips dry out my lips when using them a lot.
www.maybelline.com/lip-balm/
Isadora Sculpting Lipliner in 56 Rosewood:
Such a pretty colour!
I bought this because I wanted a lipliner for darker pinks/nudes, and this is perfect. Creamy, pigmented and you don't need to sharpen it.
In this collection that IsaDora brought out (lipliners and lipsticks), there are so many pretty colours that I am going to have to try out!
Elizabeth Mott Makeup Removing Balm:
I haven't actually tried a makeup removing balm before, (so I don't have anything to compare it to). But I really like that it is so gentle and soothing, and it also does remove makeup very well.
I like to remove makeup around my eyes with it, because I have a sensitive eye area.
Can't find a link.
Luxie Brush 504 Large Angled Face Brush:
Got this in a glossybox, and I really love it!
This brush is angled, and can be used for many different things, like bronzer, contour, blush, etc.
It is vegan and cruelty free, and it's so soft too!
I often use this brush with The Body Shop's bronzer, and they work brilliant together.
www.luxiebeauty.com/luxie-rose-gold-large-angled-face-brush-504/
The Body Shop Pinita Colada Shower Gel:
This is more a summer favourite, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I have basically used this all summer, and at the moment I think I have a little less than half a bottle left.
At the beginning I thought that it didn't smell that special at all. But now I think it smells so much nicer. It kind of smells more when you actually use it.
www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/gifts/gifts-gift-bags/pinita-colada-gift-essentials/p/p001094
The Body Shop Banana Conditioner:
Been using this since April, and I love it!
I was also a bit suspicious at first how this would smell, but it smells amazing.
It makes my hair very soft too.
Definitely a favourite!
www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/hair/conditioner/banana-conditioner/p/p000119
The Body Shop Mango Hand Cream:
Three body shop favourites in a row!
This has been a favourite of mine since last christmas.
My hands get very dry when it's getting colder, so I used it a lot last winter. Then spring and summer came and I didn't really use it that much. Now when it's fall/soon winter my hands have become super dry again. So I have started using it much more and I remembered why I loved it so much.
This hand cream is the best one that I have tried.
Although, sometimes I need to have a "super duper dry skin repair special" cream... yeah that's how dry my hands can get:)
Anyway, when my hands get that dry nothing except a special cream works. But if they aren't really that dry, I will use this.
I have only tried the mango scent, but the other scents are probably just as good.
www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/hands/moisturisers/mango
Isadora Wonder Nail Summer Flirt 514:
Just a good nail polish in such a pretty colour that I really love!
www.lyko.se/isadora/isadora-wonder-nail514-summer-flirt
L.Y.X Cosmetics Nail Drops/Oil:
I might have mentioned this in a favourites of some kind before, but basically it's nail oil that is all natural, with ingredients like vitamins and echinacea.
Your supposed to use it once a day, but sometimes I do forget.
Yeah, a nice oil that you massage in, helps to heal the nail if damaged, etc.

My Makeup Brush Collection!
Hi<3
Today I am going to show you all of my makeup brushes!
I will just tell you briefly where you can get them and what I use them for, etc.
Let's go:
FACE BRUSHES:
Kicks Cheek Brush:
This brush is by Kicks (a makeup brand), and I like to use it for blush.
www.kicks.se
129 kr/ 11.50 £/ 15 $
Powder Brush:
This is a big powder brush that I got a while ago, I don't know which brand it's from but it is not that special.
Large Angled Face Brush by Luxie:
My fave face brush atm! It's so soft, vegan and cruelty free. I like to use it for my bronzer especially.
www.luxiebeauty.com/luxie-rose-gold-large-angled-face-brush-504/
135 kr/ 12 £/ 16 $
Eye Brushes:
Kicks Eye Shadow Brush:
This brush is really good at putting eyeshadow on the lid. It's not really the best at blending. But sadly, it's not cruelty free, so I prefer RT brushes.
www.kicks.se
99 kr/ 9 £/ 11.50 $
H&M Eye Shadow Brush:
I don't actually use this brush any more, I have other brushes that I like and use more then this. Although, it is a good beginner friendly brush that is inexpensive.
It was actually my first eye shadow brush!
www.hm.com/beauty/brushes_tools/makeupbrushes
49 kr/ 5.70 £/ 4.50 $
Real Techniques Eye Brushes:
All these brushes you can get in a kit, I don't think they are sold separately.
Here is the link for all of them:
https://realtechniques.com/shop-collection/starter-set
Deluxe Crease Brush:
Love it for blending together eye shadows! And also for blending in the crease.
Base Shadow Brush:
I really love this one! I like it for blending more precisely and also for the crease. Amazing brush that makes a eyeshadow look amazing without having to put loads of effort in to blending. It's like the brush does the work for you!
Accent Brush:
This is the one a use the least, but I do still like it for small details. Would be very good at applying shadow on the browbone.
Fine Liner Brush:
Really good for doing eyeliner! Been using it and loving it.
Brow Brush:
This brush is just the right shape and softness for creating brows on fleek!
Again, a very good brush that makes it easy to do your brows.
Today I am going to show you all of my makeup brushes!

REVIEW: Lush Shampoo Cake Honey I Washed My Hair!
Hi!
Today's post is a another review!
I hope you guys like these reviews, because I enjoy writing them (although this is the second time I am writing this post).
Hope you like it!
Ok, this isn't really how it is supposed to look like, but this is what happened to my first shampoo cake.
It worked amazing and I loved it, but at the end it ended up looking like this...
So I contacted Lush, and they sent me a new one and some other goodies:) Thank you for being so lovely!
Honey I Washed My Hair Shampoo Cake:
Been using these shampoo cakes since March, and I do really like them.
I have only tested "Honey I Washed My Hair" by Lush, and the scent of it is just amazing! Now I don't really know how to describe the scent, quite sweet I guess.
I also love how long these last. The first one lasted me 5 months, might even have lasted for longer if it was all weird in the end. They also are very compact and can be taken on a plane, no need to worry about how much liquid you can take with you.
Pros:
*Compact and small.
*One shampoo cake lasts for quite a long time.
*Can easily be taken on planes, no need to worry how much liquid you can take.
*Smells amazing.
*Lathers up nicely and makes your hair smooth and clean.
*Lush have many different shampoo cakes for different hair types, in many different scents.
Cons:
*Sometimes shampoo cakes and other products by Lush can happen to contain too much of some ingredient or something like that, (like what happened with my last shampoo cake), but I don't really mind it. Because I know it is all natural and handmade, and you can easily just email them and get a new one.

My Lip Product Collection Summer 2016! Mini Review + Swatches
Hi!
I am so excited for this post, I have wanted to do this post for quite a long time now, but I knew it would take a while.
Anyway, I am not trying to brag in any way and I am so thankful for these items I am about to show and review.
Lip Balms:
Viva La Diva Lip Balm in Sweet Lemon:
This is a little lip balm in very cute packaging, and smells like lemons.
It's a very glossy lip balm, and it moisturises the lips too.
This also contains
vitamin E which is nice.
Can't find a link.
Baby Balm & Blush in Juicy Rose:
This is a balm and blush in one, in a red, pink colour.
I already have a review up on this:
sprallice.blogspot.se/2015/12/review-babylips-balm-and-blush
eleven.se/en/maybelline-baby-lips-balm-blush
Babylips Peach Kiss:
This babylips gives a nice bronze to the lips, even
though it is just a lip balm.
It smells kind of sweet and I quite like it.
Although, all babylips lip balms that I have tried dry my lips out after a while...
feelunique.com/p/Maybelline-New-York-Baby-Lips
Babylips Cherry Me:
This is my favourite out of the three I have. It gives a really nice pink, red shine to my lips, and it's just simple and nice.
I have already got a review up on all of my babylips, go check it out!
eu.feelunique.com/p/Maybelline-New-York-Baby-Lips
Babylips Pink Punch:
This one I don't really ever use, and that is because it is too pink for me.
These kinds of bubblegum pink just aren't up my alley.
boots.com/en/Maybelline-Baby-Lips-Lip-Balm
Lipsmacker Red Raspberry:
This is a old lip balm I have owned since I was very young.
I don't ever use it, but I thought I would show it any way:)
Lipsticks:
Viva La Diva Lipstick in Euphoria:
A nice, creamy lipstick in a lilac purple shade that I honestly never wear. But it is so different and I like the formula too... here is another post about these.
www.bubblebox.se
Lip Pencils:
PBJ Smoothie Stick:
I got this in one of my recent glossyboxes, and I was super happy with it!
It's matte, creamy and pigmented, but I haven't used it much, and I don't know why.
thebeautycrop.com
MeMeMe Cosmetics Lip Glide in Playful Peach:
I don't use this because I am not a big fan of the colour, and It does enhance and make your lips feel dry if you don't
moisturise with lip balm before and after using this.
Otherwise it is pretty pigmented, but I honestly have only used this a few times.
Here is a full review of this product:
sprallice.blogspot.se
http://www.mememecosmetics.com/lip-glide
Lip gloss:
H&M Lipgloss in Lotus Flower:
The only reason why I still have this is because it smells sooo good!
Otherwise, it doesn't give of any colour at all, and it's quite sticky too.
Viva La Diva Superlicious Lip Gloss:
I already have a review up on this, click here.
It's not the best, but it is my first blog post on this blog ever!
I hope you liked this post!
At the time I am writing this, I already have more new lip products that I am excited to share with you soon:)
