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.

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.

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.

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.

REVIEW: June Glossybox "Pink Planet" 2016!

Hi!
Today I will be doing the last glossybox review for a while.
As I said in my post where I unboxed June's glossybox, my subscription is over and I really want to subscribe again, but I will wait a bit because I want to spend my money on other things too.
I also want to say before I start reviewing the products, that I am sorry for not uploading many blog posts lately, but I haven't had any ideas on what to write about. Anyone reading this can comment on this post or any of my other posts what you would like me writing about:)
Hope you like this review!

PBJ Smoothie Stick Lip Crayon:
This is a creamy lip crayon by the brand "The Beauty Crop". It is a English and natural brand that doesn't test their products on animals, instead they say that they test them on friends and family:)
Anyway, this colour is SO pretty!
It is kind of a mauve, but on my it turned out a little more pink. I will say that I wish it was a little less pinky, but still, I really like this!
I don't know how to describe the scent of this, maybe a kind of natural scent, if that makes any sense. It is matte, which is very trendy right now and I feel like it is a plus if it's natural! I would recommend using a little bit of lip balm under this (if you have dry lips, just to make it smoother). It doesn't try out the lips that much either, not for me anyway.
This is actually one of my favourite products I have ever received in a glossybox!

130 kr/ 11.50 £/ 15 $ for full size.

Icona Milano Emotion Allowed Mascara:
I have only used this once, but it looked nice with one coat, and it was easy to apply. Will continue trying it out!

159 kr/ 14 £/ 19 $ for full size (10 ml)


Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eyeshadow Primer:
I haven't used this on my eyes yet, but when I tried it on my hand, it was really smooth and I felt like it would work very well on the eye area.

170 kr/ 16 £/ 20.50 $ for 10 g.












Glam of Sweden Matte Top Coat:
I was super excited when I saw this in my glossybox! Matte nails are the thing right now, and I was actually going to buy one to try out on my blog.
I have tried it several times, and it made the nails completely matte in less than a minute and also made my manicure last longer. And for the price of it, it's really good!
Comment down below if you want to see a blog post all about this, and I will do it!

39 kr/ 3.50 £/ 4.50 $ for 15 ml.








Before I end this blog post, I want to apologize for not uploading many blog posts this month. 
I am currently working on other blog posts, because I will be doing a whole week of posts soon:)

REVIEW: May Glossybox "Wing It" 2016!

Hi!
Today I am back with a glossybox review all about the May glossybox.
Enjoy!

Studio 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner:
This is actually a really good brow pen!
It's a good pigmented pen, but I don't really understand the highlighter side, because it is quite chalky. I did read loads of reviews about people loving the highlighter side, but I will continue trying it out. Anyway the other side is great! If anyone is wondering, we got this pen in the shade universal.

260 kr/ 21 £/ 31 $     You can get it here: studio10beauty.com/products/brow-lift 

 Glam Of Sweden Eyelashes in 013:
I haven't used these yet...


39 kr/ 3 £/ 4.50 $  You can get them here: (I think they only have a IG account: glamofsweden

 Trind Cuticle Balsam:
To be honest, I have only used this like twice, or something, but it was very moisturising for the cuticles, so I will continue using it in the future!

Full size 129 kr/ 10.50 £/ 15 $.
You can get it here: www.trind.com/se/products/trind-cuticle-balsam

L.Y.X. Cosmetics Nail Drops:
This is probably one of my favourite products I have ever got in a glossybox. I can tell a difference on my nails after using this a month!
First of all, my nails have been growing longer faster. The skin around my nails is quite sensitive and I easily get hangnails that start bleeding and become bigger, and this has really helped. I have used this on my nails every night and I love it!
And a plus is that this is natural as well, and not that expensive!

Full size (8 ml) 99 kr/ 8 £/ 12 $.
You can get it here:
lyxcosmetics.com/lyx-one-step/

 Snail Bee High Content Mask by Benton Cosmetics:
I haven't used this, because I am not that interested about putting a snail and bee mask on my face.
It's just my opinion anyway, it might be amazing though, I really don't know.



16 kr/ 1.30 £/ 2 $ for one pack

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!

May Glossybox 2016 "Wing It"!

Hi!
This month's glossybox is called "Wing It", and they mean just doing something and giving it a chance, especially now in the summer.
Also, "Wing It" can still be related to beauty, and that's what glossybox is all about.
The concept of this box, is probably one of my favourite ones, but the actual products in the box, kind of disappointed me.

Full size!

Studio 10 Brow Lift Perfecting Liner: 
What glossybox says about it:
Define, shape and frame your face with this brow fixer from Studio 10! The creamy double-ended pen has on one side a universal shade and on the other side a light reflecting highlighter that gives your brows a lift.
What I think:
I like that this brand helps support a good cause, which is always a thumbs up!
Also fun to get a makeup product, I feel like it's been a lot of skincare in my recent boxes.

260 kr/ 21 £/ 31 $     You can get it here: studio10beauty.com/products/brow-lift

Glam of Sweden False Eyelashes:
What Glossybox says about it:
Give your lashes a real wow effect with false eyelashes from Glam of Sweden! Measure the fray toward where the eye and cut if necessary the outer edge. Apply glue to the edge, wait 30 seconds and secured as close to your lashes as possible.
What I think:
Different to get lashes in a beauty box!
Don't really have anything more to say about these yet.

39 kr/ 3 £/ 4.50 $  You can get them here: (I think they only have a IG account: glamofsweden

Trind Cuticle Conditioner:
What glossybox says about it:
Water-based conditioner that restores and prevents dry and cracked cuticles.
The moisturising ingredients also improves nail growth. Apply on cuticles and allow the product to sink in, massage in the remains.
What I think:
I do like that we get nail products as well!
But, the next thing is basically the same thing as this.
And I prefer the next thing.
So, I think glossybox could have just included one of these products...

Full size 129 kr/ 10.50 £/ 15 $.
You can get it here: www.trind.com/se/products/trind-cuticle-balsam

L.Y.X. Cosmetics Nail Drops:
What glossybox says about it:
A nail oil with a unique blend of natural oils that strengthen soft nails, and increases the flexibility of hard and brittle nails. Massage in daily for healthy beautiful nails and cuticles.
What I think about it:
This is probably my favourite thing in the box.
It's natural and it also smells good!

Full size (8 ml) 99 kr/ 8 £/ 12 $.
You can get it here:
lyxcosmetics.com/lyx-one-step/ 


Benton Cosmetics Snail Bee High Content Mask:
What glossybox says about it:
Nourishing fiber mask with highly concentrated essence based on botanical ingredients. It suits all skin types and provides a moisturizing, lifting and soothing effect on the skin. Place over your face and leave for 20-30 minutes.
What I think about it:
No...
Ok, yes it's natural and good which is always good, but it's contains bee venom and snail "slime"...
And this was the first thing I saw when I opened the box, and I was not excited. 
Nope!

16 kr/ 1.30 £/ 2 $ for one pack
You can get it here: www.amazon.com/Benton

So...
I am not impressed about the mask, and I basically got two of the same kind of products, but from different brands. I just think this box could have been much better!

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.

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 $.
