REVIEW: My H&M Beauty Products!

Hi!
This is day 2 of my "week of posts"!
If you didn't already know, H&M has launched a new beauty collection not that long ago. Before they had a few beauty products, but if you ask me they were not the best, I much prefer the new range.


49 kr/ 4.50 £/ 5.80 $ for 8 ml
 
H&M Nail Polish in Ice Cold Milk:
This nailpolish comes out as a sheer white with only one coat (as you can see on the picture underneath), but with two-three coats it becomes quite white.
If you use a matte top coat, it usually becomes even more white. For the price, it is quite a good nail polish!                                                                        

49 kr/ 4.50 £/ 5.80 $ for 8 ml
 H&M Nail Polish in Purple Aura:
The same goes for this nail polish.
It needs several coats to become opaque, but of course one coat also looks pretty. I do like the formula of these nail polishes, they are quite thin and "liquid-y", and they also layer nicely.

Don't know the prize sry
H&M Nail Polish in Red Glitter:
So this is one of H&M older nail polishes. The packaging is very different and these aren't as good quality as the other nail polishes.
This actually came with a red nail polish too, but it was so bad (!), so I got rid of it. It chipped sooo fast! But I wanted to keep this one, because it is so glittery and I wanted to try it with another nail polish under, because maybe it wouldn't chip that fast then.

59 kr/ 5 £/ 7 $ for 2.2 ml
H&M Cover-Up Concealer (Ivory):
This concealer has been raved about a lot by Therese Lindgren (youtuber).
So I was like "sure I will give it a try".
And, I mean I don't have a lot to compare it too, but it is quite good, but not amazing. They have quite a lot of shades, and they are quite cheap too, so for the price it is a good concealer.
I can imagine fairer could use the darker shades as cream contour.


59 kr/ 5 £/ 7 $
H&M Eyeshadow in Paradise Lost:
I dropped mine so that it broke, and I put the last of the eyeshadow in this Lush sample, but the original packaging was white and gold (so pretty!).
Basically it is a rose gold shadow, and the formula of these are amazing, but it does feel quite weird. Like a satin, creamy feeling. This is the only shade I have (a super shimmery shade), but from using this a think that they actually are quite good!

10 kr/ 1.70 £/ 2 $ (on sale!) for 7 ml
H&M Lipgloss in Lotus Flower:
This is another one of H&M's older products. I did get this quite a while ago, when it was on sale I think.
Basically, the only reason why I still have this, is because the scent.
But if you want to hear more about this or see the swatch, later this week a post will be up were I show all of my lip products and review them.
But yes, it is a product that is probably meant for younger girls (and boys).


H&M Sharpener:
Not that interesting, but basically it's a sharpener that has got one hole and works as well as any other sharpener does.

EMPTIES June 2016!

Hi!
Just going to write a short post with mini reviews on my empties this month!
Enjoy!

 Mango Body Butter by The Body Shop:
I love these body butters by the body shop!
And, I have loads of different lotions, so I wanted to use it up.

Would I repurchase it?
Yes, but I want to use up my other body butters first.

www.thebodyshop.co.uk/mango-body-butter 


ZTIZ Nail Polish:
I got this ages ago, and it has dried out. As you can see, the nail polish is a glittery magenta silver, but when you apply it on the nail, you don't get a lot of glitter on your nail.

Would I repurchase it?
Nope.

Can't find a link.




Raspberry Coconut Pecks by Inspiral:
I LOVE these!
It's kind of like chunks of coconut that are very crunchy, and there is also raspberry jam on them.
They are so good! And they are organic, gluten-free, raw, vegan and paleo.

Would I repurchase it?
Yesss!

EMPTIES Winter-Spring 2016 + Mini Reviews + The Misses...

Hi!
I have been looking forward to making this post, because I have never done a empties post before! Also, it takes a while to collect enough empties to actually make a post about them.


Sensodyne Fresh Gel Toothpaste:
This is the toothpaste I always use, it works well, and I don't really have anything else to say about it.

You can get it here:
www.apotea.se/sensodyne-fresh-gel
 
Would I repurchase it?
Yes.









 Pepsodent White Now Gold Triple Power:
Nooo!
I got this in my March Glossybox, I am pretty sure, and I DON'T like it.
It is quite a affordable toothpaste, so if it worked it would have been good, but no. This stained my toothbrush blue, and also my teeth a few minutes after I used this!
I didn't not notice any difference at all, even though it claims to have a whitening-effect...
(This was a big miss!)

You can get it here:
www.luxplus.co.uk/product/pepsodent 

Would I repurchase it?
Nope, not going to happen!


The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter:
This body butter is in the mini size, and in the scent coconut.
And I love the scent! It smells like coconuts, and only coconuts, not artificial or anything like that.
This is a very thick cream for the body, which doesn't really soak in, so it's amazing for dry skin!
I use this before I go to bed, because it's so thick.

You can get it here:
www.thebodyshop.co.uk 

Would I repurchase it?
Yes, but not atm, because I have 4 others to use up ;)

Locobase Repair Cream:
This is a special cream for dry skin, which I have used as a hand cream.
But now, I have found another cream, which is actually a hand cream (this can be used not only for the hands).
It is the body shop's hand creams, they smell good and soak in super fast, and they do the job.
This cream is thick, doesn't smell anything but it does what it is supposed to, so I prefer the body shop's hand creams. They are actually cheaper than this cream!

You can get it here:
www.farmaline.uk 

Would I repurchase it?
I probably won't, because I found a dupe.


Maybelline New York Babylips in Melon Mania:
The first babylips I have actually used up! You do get quite a lot of product in this.
It smelled kind of sweet and fruity like melons, but I didn't really have any colour, it was just glossy.
It disappeared from the lips quite fast, and it didn't moisturise the lips that much.

You can get it here:
www.boots.com/en 

Would I repurchase it?:
No, because I have so many babylips, and I would buy "Cherry Me" if I had to repurchase another one.




Lush American Cream Conditioner:
This conditioner worked really well, and it smelled really good too. After using this you can really smell it in your hair. It worked really good for my long hair, and Lush is a natural brand as well, and that's great! (I always try to use more natural hair care for the hair, will probably make a separate post all about my opinion about this).
It is not that cheap, but if you want good haircare, you most likely need to pay more for it.
Right now I am using the body shop's banana conditioner, which works as good as this.
(Remember that if you have any empty lush products (not testers), clean them out, and save them! Because if you give Lush 5 empty, clean products, you can get a fresh face mask for FREE!)

You can get it here:
uk.lush.com/products/american-cream 

Would I repurchase it?
Probably!


The Body Shop Papaya Shower Gel:
I don't have that much to say about this, since I didn't use it... my mum did, but I tried it, and it smells good and it's moisturising. I do have quite a few shower gels from the body shop and I really like them:)

You can get it here:
Unfortunately they have discontinued this (as well as the chocomania series), but I have seen these "discontinued" products pop up in the actual stores as limited edition, like chocomania, vineyard peach, papaya, blueberry, passionfruit, etc.
So keep your eyes peeled in your nearest The Body Shop store!
Link to all the other shower gels: www.thebodyshop.co.uk

Would we repurchase it?
If we found it, we probably would.


Mini Depend Nail Polishes:
These are in the shade (left to right) 399, 202 and 421.
The reason I am getting rid of these because they have dried up, but they are quite cute, and nice nail polishes that are 5-free which is amazing!

You can get them here:
399: Can't find it:(
202: www.depend.se
421: www.depend.se

Would I repurchase it?
Yes, but only the shade 399.



Mini Depend Base and Top Coat:
Protective base coat 079:
It is better than nothing, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can get it here:
www.depend.se

Would I repurchase it?
Nope.

Quick & shine top coat 080:
No!
This is a miss!
It's just like applying another layer of thick nail polish on top of your actual nail polish.

You can get it here:
www.depend.se 

Would I repurchase it?
No.

NOTD #1 + Tutorial!

HI!
Today I wanted to do a notd (nails of the day), because I feel like I don't do any nail posts on my blog!...
Also, I really like my nails today!


                                               White Ombre Nails


You Will Need:
*3 nail polishes of your choice for the ombre.
*1 nail polish that will be the main colour, (in my case white).
*A sponge.
* A q-tip to clean up around the edges with.
*A school/ paper glue that doesn't contain loads of chemicals.
*Tape.
*A pair of scissors.




1. Start off with applying glue (I used paper/school glue for kids), and make sure to not put on a too thin layer of glue.
Also avoid getting glue on the nail.
(Don't do this if you have any cuts, etc around your nail, you don't want to get any glue in them!).
When the glue has dried, apply base coat to protect the nail.


2. Apply three different shades of nail polish on to a sponge, as seen on the picture.
I used a darker shade at the top, and gradually changing to a light pink.
To do this, just put three strokes of nail polish without mixing them together.
I applied a generous amount to the sponge.
(For info about the nail polishes I used, also where you can buy them, the details will be at the end of this post).





3. The glue should have dried by this point, so you can now dab the sponge onto the nail the create a ombre effect.










4. Apply a top coat of your choice, once the nail polish has dried a bit.
I used my favourite top coat EVER!
(Details at the end of this post :)













5. Once everything has dried, pull the glue of carefully.
Quite a satisfying feeling pulling the glue off actually:)








6. Use a pair of scissors, and cut small stripes of tape of, or use nail tape if you want.
Put the two stripes on to the nail with the ombre effect, in any way you want to. (I put them in a V shape).








7. I used a white nailpolish by H&M on the ombre effect nail, and also on all th other nails.












8. When the nail polish has dried, pull the tape of carefully.










9. And then apply another coat of top coat on to ALL the nails...















10. Clean the edges up using a q-tip.
And that is everything!
Of course you can use different shades, and have the ombre effect on more then one nail. Go on and experiment with this!





 What nailpolishes I used:
*H&M's nail polishes in the shade
Purple aura (purple): Can't find it:(
Ice cold milk (white): www.hm.com
Random metallic pink (no longer available to buy), but it is from this company, and they sell other nail polishes now: www.lindex.com/se/beauty
Basic pink shade: www.depend.se
Seche Vite Top Coat: seche.com

Late X-mas Presents!:)

Hi everybody!
I received some late presents a while back, but I have been posting a lot about my glossybox subscription, so I haven't got around to doing this post.
Hope you enjoy!


BRUSHES:

This is the first brush I got, and it's the Kicks professional cheek brush.
It is a really soft and good brush which I really love.

Link to where you can get this: 
www.kicks.se/professional-cheek-brush 



The second one is a Kicks professional eyeshadow brush.
It's really good for blending your eyeshadow, but I think they also have a blending brush for that purpose.
It is as soft as the cheek brush as well.

Link to where you can get this:
www.kicks.se/professional-eye-shadow-brush 


OTHER MAKEUP THINGS:

Then I also got this mascara that is also from Kicks.
I haven't tried this yet, but I will eventually.
Mine is in the shade richest black, and I am not sure if there is any other shades.


Unfortunately, I think that they have stopped selling this:(




This is a makeup palette with 6 eyeshadows that are both matte and shimmery.
There are also two blushes, one matte and one shimmery.
And two lip glosses full of shimmer!


Can't find a link for this one either!







Then the last thing from the brand Kicks, is a makeup brush shampoo.
I have tried it twice, and I really like it!
Your brushes are as soft as when you first got them, and it smells like a fresh apple scent.
And it's not that expensive either:)

Here is the link:
www.kicks.se/makeup-brush-shampoo

NAIL POLISH:

This is the one nail polish I got, and it's a pretty silver sparkle, by Depend in the 7 day collection.
This is one is number 70000 Ice Crystals.
I have tried it once, and there is a lot of glitter and sparkles in this!
Love it!


Can't find a link...







OTHER STUFF:

 This is a pink bracelet from Isadora,
and it is pretty!

Link to their webpage:
www.isadora.com


Then I also got some magic cards, to learn how to play the game with one of my family members!
It is fun to own some magic cards myself!

Link to their website:

Hope you have liked this post!
I am not bragging btw!
Bye! :)

2015 Favourites!

Today's post is all about my favourites from 2015!
I have 12 different favourites from 2015, and I will do reviews on some of these products, so comment which one you would like to see first!

BEAUTY:

 1. My first favourite thing of 2015 is without a doubt this babylips!
This babylips is in cherry me, and is my favourite babylips ever!
I will probably do a review on this btw!



 2. My next favourite, is this lipgloss by Viva La Diva in the shade 17 romance.
I've actually done a review on this, Click here to go to the review!
I really like the packaging and the minty scent of this, and this lip gloss isn't that sticky, which I like. 



HAIR AND SKINCARE:

3.I only have one hair favourite, which is this conditioner from Lush!
It smells good and makes my hair feel clean and light-weight:)








4. This make-up remover works very well, but is kind of like a lotion as well.
Yes, I don't really have anything more to say about it, it's just very good:)








 5. This is a hand cream by I love.. which I love!
They have loads of different products and scents, but this one is in mango and papaya.
I find that this hand cream doesn't really soak in to my skin properly, but I love it anyway, because it's my favourite scent by I love!

6. I love all of my body butters from the body shop, but especially this one! (I will be uploading a post 
about all of my the body shop things soon!)
This one is in coconut, and it smells amazing!

7. This is the best top coat I've ever used! Many nail art youtubers have talked about it, so I got it and it's a real good top coat.
Actually, before I used this, I didn't find painting my nails fun!
8. This nail polish is one of H&Ms new nail polishes.
They have got loads of different colours and the one I got is called purple aura.
It dries so fast and looks really pretty.
JEWELLERY:

9. My next favourite is this necklace with an A on it.
It's just simple and also (A is for awesome;)! No, but you can actually get any letter of the alphabet as a necklace.
I have an A because it's my first letter of my name.
But they do have BFF necklaces as well.



   
10. This is a flower necklace which I got for x-mas.
I think it's really pretty and I just love it!
OTHER STUFF:
11. For my birthday I got this Ariana Grande album, and I really love her music and she is my favourite artist also!

12. And my last favourite for now is this book.
I got this a while back and I read it and loved it!
It is about a girl and her best friend, that love each other and can't do anything without each other.
They have a long summer holiday planned ahead of them, but then, her best friend disappears....






Ok, I hope you liked my 2015 favourites, I spend a lot of time on it:)
