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

Glossybox June 2016 Pink Planet Unboxing!

Hi!
Today I am back with a blog post about June's Glossybox!
This will be my last glossybox unboxing for a while, because my 6-month subscription is over. But I will definitely subscribe to glossybox again soon!
Also, the review for May's glossybox will be up soon (if it isn't already up when your reading this), and at the end of this month/beginning of July, the review for this box will be up. Sorry this post is a bit late, but my glossybox was quite late this month.

PBJ Smoothie Stick Creamy Lip Crayon (Full Size):
What Glossybox says about it:
Colorful lipstick pen that nourishes and moisturizes the lips. The beauty crops products are based on natural ingredients and the PBJ smoothie stick includes almond butter and goji berry, full of antioxidants.
What I think about it:
So fun to get another lip product from glossybox! Anyway, I swatched this on my hand when I first got it and OMG it glided on soooo smoothly and it is so pigmented! This kind of shade is very on trend right now, and it is gorgeous!!!
Also, a big plus is that it's a natural product! Yesss!
(I will be using this so much this summer, let me tell you..)

130 kr/ 11.50 £/ 15 $ for full size.

 
 



Icona Milano Emotion Allowed Waterproof Mascara (Full Size):
What Glossybox says about it:
Intense, black mascara that allows all emotions. The water-resistant formula is ideal in summer and can handle both water and high humidity. Apply with a zigzag motion for maximized volume. Not enough? Put another layer on!
What I think about it:
So many mascaras these past 6 months, but I am not complaining!
I feel like I have heard someone on YouTube talking about it? Anyway, when I opened this, the wand just glided out super easily, and the wand was very basic and original, I haven't had that much luck with like huge wands.

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

 Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eyeshadow Primer:
What Glossybox says about it:
 A silky primer that gives your eye shadows more intensity and will make your eye makeup last longer. It also helps avoid the eyeshadow creasing into lines on your eyelids.

What I think about it:
I feel like an eyeshadow primer is something you need if you use eyeshadow, but isn't really that interesting to go out to the stores and buy.

170 kr/ 16 £/ 20.50 $ for 10 g.

Glam of Sweden Matte Top Coat:
What Glossybox says about it:
Create trendy nails with this quick-drying top coat applied over your favourite nail polish for a matt finish. Easy and fun to use to create nail art. Try to paint half the nail for a subtle but cool look.
What I think about it:
I was actually thinking about getting one of these the other day!
So, I have actually already tried this out, and so far, so good!

39 kr/ 3.50 £/ 4.50 $ for 15 ml.

Rihanna RiRi EdP Spray:
What Glossybox says about it:
Rihanna's latest fragrance RiRi is a flirtatious fragrance that you can wear day and night. RiRi is Rihanna's nickname and the scent reflects her personality. Passionfruit, honeysuckle and freesia gives a floral freshness.
What I think about it:
Fun to get a fragrance in a glossybox!
These past 6 months there has been no perfumes or body mists.
I actually quite like the smell of this EdP!

325 kr/ 29 £/ 38.50 $ for full size (30 ml).

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!

Using Coconut Oil As A Hair Mask- My Experience

I decided to use coconut oil as a hair mask, because I was curious how well it would work and how moisturising it would be; and this is what happened.
(I didn't really read up about this, maybe I should have...)


I used extra virgin coconut oil, soaked my hair in it (tried to only put it in the lengths of my hair, but I kind of got it nearly in all of my hair except for my roots...), and then left it in way too long (20-30 min), but really I should have left it in for about 5 minutes!
So it didn't really work out how I wanted it to...

After rinsing it out:
My hair feels so wet, and it has felt like this for a while now.
I didn't wash my hair with conditioner, because I felt like I didn't really need to.
I am going to wait until tomorrow, see if it feels oily then, and decide if I should wash my hair again then.
Good night!

Day 1:
10:00 AM:
I just got out of the shower, and I washed my hair twice with conditioner, because it felt like it helped. We will see when my hair has dried.
When I woke up my hair looked wet, because it was so oily!
I was not impressed...
Fingers crossed washing my hair again worked!
11:30 AM:
I just rinsed my hair of with water, because it was still oily, but I did help a bit to wash my hair again. But it still is and looks oily. This "coconut oil hair mask" was probably not such a good idea...
1:00 PM:
The hair on the top of my head, near my roots, as well as the ends are not oily at all any more. It's just the lengths of my hair.
My hair still looks wet and feels wet too:(
(It's not how I want MY hair to look like).
4:00 PM:
I just took I shower because I was out exercising. I didn't wash my hair again, I just rinsed it with water. I also noticed that it's just the "middle" of my hair that is oily.
19:30 PM:
My hair doesn't look that wet any more... but it does feel damp.
On the positive side it's shiny, right now I think it will take a few more days/ washes until my hair will be completely coconut oil free :(
Day 2:
10:30 AM:
My hair has "dried" a bit overnight, but it is still oily here and there.
Otherwise, my hair feels just a little bit softer than usual.
I will update you tomorrow!
Day 3:
I can't see or feel any coconut oil in my hair anymore!
To be honest, I can't really tell a difference after using the coconut oil in my hair.
But, it was probably good for my hair anyway.
If I would do this again, I would just put coconut oil in the ends of my hair, but if I get any tips on what I could do better when using coconut oil as a hair mask, then maybe I would it again.

Some tips and tricks (from what I experienced):
* Try to only get the coconut oil in the ends and maybe a bit in the lengths of the hair.
*Don't leave it in for long!



I know this post is basically me complaining over my oily coconut hair, but I hope somebody reading this will find this interesting, educational and maybe even would want to try this for themselves.
Also, if anyone reading this has tried this, please comment some tips and your experience, and if I did something wrong (except for probably leaving it in for too long)!





 

PINITA COLADA by The Body Shop

The Body Shop recently introduced their new summer collection- Pinita Colada, so I hurried over to my local TBS store and I picked up 1 product from the range:


I brought the shower gel, but I wouldn't call it a shower gel at all! It's more like a shower cream.
At first I was kind of disappointed of the actual scent of it, I thought it smelled quite "soapy", and I couldn't really smell that much of pineapple and coconut.
But then when I used it in the shower with a loofa, and smelling it over and over again, it smells much nicer in my opinion.
So it is not as strong as their strawberry or pink grapefruit shower gel, but I really like it anyway!
