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:

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.

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:

55 kr/ 5 £/ 6.50 $ for 5 g

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.

59 kr/ 5 £/ 7 $ for 3.5 g
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





 
29 kr/ 2.50 £/ 3.50 $

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

29 kr/ 2.50 £/ 3.50 $
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




29 kr/ 2.50 £/ 3.50 $
  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:

75-95 kr/ 7-9 £/ 7-11 $
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:

130 kr/ 11.50 £/ 15 $ for full size.

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



149 kr/ 17$/12£ for 2g




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:

Lip gloss:

10 kr/ 1 £/ 1 $ for 7 ml (on sale)
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.


69 kr/ 6 £/ 8 $ for 7 ml
 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:)

REVIEW: Dew The Hoola by Benefit! Swatch + Review!

Hi!
As you can see by the title of this blog post, I will be doing another review. I hope that you like this review and lets get right in to it!

Benefit Dew the Hoola:
A soft, matte liquid bronzer for the face.
This is the sample size of this product, just search online for "dew the hoola benefit" and you will see the full size, rose gold, super cute packaging!
Anyway, there is a powder bronzer too, which is supposed to be the same thing as this, but as a powder of course.
I haven't actually tried the hoola bronzer in the powder form (but I would love too!).

Anyway, this liquid bronzer, didn't really live up to my expectations... nope.
 First of all, it is very orange. At least on my skin tone.
To use this product, you have to pump it out on something (like your hand) and spread out the product on it, then try to get the right amount on your brush/ makeup sponge and quickly blend it out on your face. Cause this stuff dries super fast.
So to make this look even, is very hard!


Honestly, I think it isn't the best bronzer at all.
Although, I have seen people mixing it in with foundations, and using it to match the colour of their face with their body in the summer.







Pro's:
*It is a product that can be used for many different things.

Con's:
*It dries very fast and that means that you need to blend it fast.
*It has a strong smell (but some people like/don't mind that).
*Quite orange.
*Doesn't blend even, especially with a brush. (Recommend using a makeup sponge).

Not a product I would buy, but remember that just because someone doesn't like a product, doesn't mean that it won't work for you!

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.

Glossybox "Travel On" July 2016!

Hi!
My glossybox subscription ended once I got my June box, but something happened with that 6-month subscription, so I got another one!
This glossybox unboxing is later than my other glossybox unboxings, but it's because first of all, I wasn't expecting another one and second of all, I wanted to iclude this in this week of posts!
This is day one of my week of posts, and I really hope you enjoy this week!
(The review will be up later, but not this week).

(Full size)
Rodial Smokey Eye Pen in Black:
What glossybox says about it:
Gel-like eyeliner pencil with a soft texture that makes it easy to create the perfect smokey eye look. Paint a line close to the lash line and then fade out with the help of a brush or a Q-tip.
What I think about it:
This stuff is sooo creamy!
It glides on so easily and I think it would be good just as a eyeliner too.


1.2 g (full size)

(Full size)
De Bruyure After Sun Lotion Monoi:
What glossybox says about it:
The cute and tiny package makes it easy for you to pack with De Bruyeres after-sun. Use it if you happened to get a little too much sunburn on your nose. Vitamin E helps protect the skin so that it has time to recover.
What I think about it: 
I feel like glossybox made this product sound like you are supposed to use it only on your nose.
The formula is very light and and liquid-y, and it smells amazing! Actually it says on the back of this product that it makes the tan last longer.

250 kr/ 10 £/ 13 $ for 50 ml.



Elizabeth Mott Sherbet Cleanser:
What glossybox says about it:
Lovely cleansing balm that works as a makeupremowal. Almost melts onto the skin when you take away the day's makeup look, rinse with warm water, then use a facial cleanser to clean your skin properly.


What I think about it:
I don't really understand why glossybox calls this a "sherbet cleanser", because it doesn't say it anywhere on it. But it does remove makeup really good!

250 kr/ 22.50 £/ 29.50 $ for 100 g.

NOMNOM Hair Rings:
What glossybox says about it:
Telephone cord-like hair ties that hold your hair in place without leaving marks and lets the hair fall more naturally. If it stretches after a lot of use then just put them in warm water to regain their original shape.



What I think about it:
You actually get three in it but I gave one away, so yeah, but I don't have that much to say about it actually.

39 kr/ 3.50 £/ 4.50 $ for a 3-pack.

(Full size)
Maybelline New York Vivid Matte Liquid:
What glossybox says about it:
Trendy and colorful matte lipstick that gives a silkysmooth and creamy feel. With a specially designed applicator is easy to "contour" and shape the lips how you want.
What I think about it:
I don't like the smell of this at all, and I have tested this on my lips once, and I can tell you I am not that impressed at all...

99 kr/ 9 £/ 11.50 $ for 7,7 ml.
