REVIEW: Get Lost in Beauty Wonderland Palette! + Exciting Announcement!

Hi!
If you saw my last post, which was a haul, I got a eye shadow, blush and lip gloss palette. And so today I will be doing a review about it!
Btw, the exciting announcement will be at the end of this post:)


Get lost in beauty wonderland palette by Kicks:

This is a make up palette with 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes and 2 lip glosses.
It's about 15£/ 20$, and unfortunately, they have stopped selling this on their website, but here is the link to their website: www.kicks.se

When you open up the palette, there is a mirror, two tutorials and a quote, and I have to say that it's a good quality mirror!

To the left are the eye shadows, which I think are very pretty!
In the middle we have got the blushes (the darkest one is matte, and the brown and black eye shadow are also matte!)
And lastly, do the right are the lip glosses, which are very shimmery.
(Don't mind my finger in the picture...)
These are the eye shadows on my hand, with the names.
Dark side and Dream Praline are matte shades, and all the other ones are shimmery.

The eye shadows are quite powdery, and you need to build up the colour.
Otherwise, I think there very usable shades that are pretty, but you might need a eye shadow primer.


These are the two blushes on my hand, and secret garden is matte, but sweet dreams is not.
I like that you have the choice of matte or shimmery, and that they are very pretty as well.
I don't have that much else to say about them, more than that I like the colours and the choice.






 And then lastly the lip glosses!
I have not use them that much, but when I swatched them on my hand, I really liked the look of Fantasy.
And yes, they are sticky, but they are very glossy and quite pretty.
And as you may see, the lip gloss called fairy tale is clear with loads of shimmer, and fantasy is slightly more pigmented with pink and shimmer.


Ok, so yes, I have a exciting announcement!
When I reach 500 followers or viewers coming back to read my blog, there will be a very fun giveaway for you all!
So comment, share and follow so we can reach our goal!
Also, if there are any other beauty bloggers out there, that have been blogging  for a little while and would like to do a collab, then that would be fun!
Anyway, hope you enoyed this post!
Byeee!

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:
magic.wizards.com

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

MeMeMe Cosmetics Lip Glide in Playful Peach:

Nicka K Airbrush FX Blending Sponge:
I have not used this sponge yet, so I can't do a review about it.

I don't really use blending sponges.
Sorry:(

You can get it here: www.nicka.com/applicators/airbrush-fx






Royal Apothic Cream Creme Moisturising Body Cream:
This product I have not really used,
since I don't really like the smell of it.
It's to perfume scented for me, and quite a fresh scent.
When I got my glossybox, I tried this, and it soaks in to the skin SO fast!
It's very moisturising as well.

You can get it here: www.royalapothic.com/products/holland-park-cream





Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion:
This lotion I have actually tried.
I like it, it's a good lotion, but I do have lotions like this, so I don't really use it that much.
I wouldn't say it's amazing, but fun to try:)

You can get it here: www.apotea.se/cetaphil-moisturizing-lotion










Glazel Visage Pressed Rouge:
I have tried this blush a little bit, and I think it's a pretty colour.
Actually, this is probably one of my favourite products from my glossybox!

Unfortunately, I can't fnd a link to this blush:(










Nellie Dellies Dark Chocolate:
This chocolate was yummy, and tasted like real dark chocolate.
I would definitely try more chocolate by them:)

So that was it!
Hope you enjoyed this:)
Byeee!

Glossybox February!

Finally, I got my February glossybox! I 
hope you will enjoy this post, and I have to say that the packaging of this box is very cute:)



Here is the February box, which is themed around love!
This box is called dream up,
and I read in the glossy mag, that "glossies" all around the world got to vote on facebook, about the design for this box.

This is a overview of everything I got in my box.












Oral-B 3D White Luxe Perfection Toothpaste:
What Glossybox says:
Get a radiant smile with fluoride toothpaste 3D white luxe perfection.
This is Oral-B's most advanced technology ever for whitening.
Micro-beads and silicon oxide dissolves stains and protects proactively.
What I think:
I am not so sure about this toothpaste, since they have banned micro-beads in a few places.
I have a toothpaste I use, and it's the one I will stick to. 
Original product: 39,90 kr/ 3 £/ 4 $ for 75 ml.

Elizabeth Mott Queen of the Fill Tinted Brow Gel:
What glossybox says about it:
Give your brows  a defined look with this browgel from Elizabeth Mott.
Apply using the brush along the brows to create and form a natural look.
Slowly build up more colour after each layer.
What I think: 
I don't have any other brow products to compare this with, but I think it's a fun product to put in the box.
This is actually in the right shade for my brows, which is a plus!
Original product: 175 kr/ 14£/ 20 $ for 4 g.

Barnängen Antiperspirant Mjuk & Torr:
(Soft and dry)
What glossybox says about it:
Barnängens new antiperspirants in recyclable glass containers are kind to the skin and provides effective protection against perspiration for up to 48 hours!
Soft and dry is a new, unique formula that quickly makes the skin feel dry.
What I think:
Well, I also read in the glossy mag that this antiperspirant is better for you than most of the others, which sounds good.
Original product: 26,90 kr/ 2£/ 3$ for 50 ml.
Benefit They're Real Lash Primer:
What glossybox says about it: 
They're real tinted primer increases lash volume and can both be used as a primer under your usual mascara or separately for a natural look.
The formula is waterproof and conditions the lashes with pro-vitamin B5.
What I think: 
So happy to recieve a product from Benefit! Really happy with this!
Original product: 250 kr/ 21 £/ 29$ for 8,5 g.
Laino Intense Nourishing Body Care, Green Clay Paste & Shea Butter Hand Cream:
What glossybox says about it:
A beautiful skin care kit with a intensive moisturising skin cream, a cleansing face mask with natural green clay and a hand cream for dry hands.
What I think:
I hav already tried the hand cream and the face mask, but the review will come at the end of March.
(My January Glossy box review will be coming soon!)
Original product: 52- 115 kr/ 4-10 £/ 6-14 $



I will give my February glossy box 7/10!:)

REVIEW: MeMeMe Cosmetics Lip Glide!

Today I am doing a review of the lip glide I got in my Glossybox!
I have tried it several times, and I can now say what I think about it, and hopefully, you'll find it interesting reading this post!<3

MeMeMe cosmetics lip glide:
149 kr/ 17$/12£ for 2g

This is the MeMeMe cosmetics lip glide, in the shade playful peach.
I think that everyone that got this lip glide in their glossybox, got it in the same shade.
If you want to know more details about this, then you can check out my latest post about my glossybox!



So, as you can see on my hand, it's very coral/peach coloured, and not a colour I would really use.
It's a matte finish, and you will need a little lip balm under this, otherwise your lips will become very dry.
It is quite creamy, and when you have applied it to your lips, it is very dry and matte!





This is it on my lips!
It's not the best lighting, but I hope you can see it anyway.
You can use this as a lip pen and a lipstick, on this picture I put it all over my lips.




Over all, I think it's a good coral lip product, which would go amazing with a lipstick in the same shade!
As I said before, I don't really use this kind of shade, and I think glossybox should have had a variation of shades, and sent them out randomly.
Otherwise, it is a nice lip glide, altough, keep in mind it's kind of a bit expensive, and you don't get loads of product.
I will give this a 6/10!

You can get it here!: www.mememecosmetics.com/lip-glide

Stay tuned for more reviews from my glossybox, and also other fun stuff!
Remember to subscribe and share, it would make me so happy if you did:)
Byeee!

Glossybox January!

Hi!
I am so excited to show you my Januari Glossybox, and I am not doing this to brag!
I did try to do a video unboxing my glossybox, but when I try to put it in a post, it just doesn't work!
Also, I won't be doing a review of the things I got today, because I just got them, so at the end of the month I will do a review on them, and of course a February glossybox haul/unboxing!
(I am NOT sponsored in anyway in this post)



This is the glossybox January 2016 edition, and it's called Hello, 2016!
(Maybe a bit Adele inspired..)






 This box comes with 5 products and a bonus product!




MeMeMe Cosmetics Lip Glide in Playful Peach:
What glossybox says about it: Formulated with a matte-velvet finish, Lip Glide offers ultra-high pigment for bold, statement lips!

What I think:
I feel like it's a quite a pigmented lip glide/pencil, although, it's not a shade you usually wear. It claims to be matte, and when I swatched it, it was!
So far, so good!
Original product: 149 kr/ 17 £/ 12$ for 2 g
(Full product)



Nicka K FX Airbrush Beauty Sponge Pink:
What glossybox says about it:
This makeup sponge from Nicka K is perfect for creating a even base with an air-brush feeling.
The ergonomic shape makes it easy to get a good grip when you apply makeup.

What I think:
I don't know how much I will actually use this, as I don't wear foundation.
And I don't really have anything to compare it with either, since this is my first blending sponge.
To be honest, I feel like it's a bit hard, but maybe I will try it sometime!
Original product: 69 kr/8 $/5 £
                                                                (Full product)
  

Royal Apothic Holland Park Cream Creme Body Moisturizer:
What glossybox says about it:
Deeply moisturizing body lotion that makes skin smooth and supple.
The lactic acid from milk protein gives a light exfoliating effect, while olive oil and vitamin A and E moisturizes, softens and repairs the skin.

What I think about it:
I smelled it, and omg, it smells so strong of perfume!
I tried it on my skin, and it really moisturizes the skin and soaks in very fast, but it's not my kind of smell.
Original product: 269 kr/ 31$/ 22£ for 240 ml.
                                                                   (Full product)

Mini size!
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion:

What glossybox says about it:
This moisturizing lotion is wonderful to apply on your face on cold winter days, and works well as a body lotion.
Cleaning macadamia oil, antioxidant vitamin E, vitamin B5 and glycerin bind moisture.
The natural skin barrier gets protected, while preserving the skin's protection against dirt, bacteria and air pollution will be strengthened.
Also suitable for sensitive skin.

What I think about it:
I have only tried it once, and it didn't soak in to the skin that fast.
I didn't do wonders, but I will continue to try it out, since many famous celebrities have raved about it, and also other youtubers! I was very excited for this though!
Original product: 129 kr/ 15 $/ 10 £ for 500 ml.

                              
  Glazel Visage Pressed Rouge Mini:  What glossybox says about it:
This blush gives you a natural rosy glow while the skin gets nice luster with a silky smooth feeling.

What I think about it:
I have not tried it yet, only swatched it.
Reading the comments about this on glossybox's webpage, were all positive.
So, it will be fun to try:)

Original product: 89 kr/ 10 $/ 7 £ for 3 g
(Full size)
                                     
Toms Nellie Dellies Dark Chocolate- Bonus!:   
What glossybox says about it: 
Good and rich dark chocolate with a deep and intense flavour. Sweetened with extracts form the stevia plant, and a high content of dietary fiber. Contains 70% cocoa and natural cocoa butter. Naturally amazing without any added sugars!
What i think about it:
I don't feel any difference compared to other dark chocolate I have tasted with 70% cocoa.
Maybe a bit more intense.
I am not the biggest fan of dark chocolate, but I like it!
Original product: 12 kr/1.50 $/ 1£ 
(Full product)

I will give this box a 7/10!

DIY Hair tie/ Scrunchie!!!

Hi!
My very first DIY!
It's a hair scrunchie, and it's the first one I've made, so it's not the best!
But I'm happy with it:)



 1. Start of by taking some kind of felt/fabric and cut
off a bit, you can also take a pair off old tights and cut off a bit (as I did on the picture), then you won't have to sew it together, at the ends.


2. Next, take a elastic piece of band and sew it together at the end, to make the shape you can see on the picture.

3. Take the elastic band you sewed together, and place it around the fabric, as seen on the picture.
(Remember to have the fabric inside out when putting the band on it)

4. To make this all easier, use pins to make the elastic band stay in it's place.
5. Now fold it, so that the band is inside and pin a little above the band, as seen on the picture ---->
6. I started sewing at the top, as you can see, and it doesn't really matter how you do it.
When you've done that, you can sew down what you just sewed to the fabric, so that it looks more professional. 
(Do you see the face I "accidently" made?) 






7. (Optional) Now, if you want too, you can do cross stitches on it, to make it a little more interesting.





8. And, your done!!
Please comment and let me know what I can do, to make my posts better!
Hope you have had a good day so far, and stay tuned for the next post!<3
