Luxe Box #1

!!!!! Luxe Box is no longer in buisness, så you cannot subscribe to a box !!!!

Luxe box is the newest beauty box on the scene in Denmark and with a price as 199Dkr, I was very curious about this. The send out special edition box showed both a "meh" and a "holy cow that's awesome!" box. Today the wait was over and I received my box. I apologize for not getting into EDC´s and such this time around - I'm to stressed! Too much to do and not enough December to do it in

Pretty box is pretty

That's an awfully lot of shredded paper

Ole Henriksen, Pick me up Face Tonic

Ole Henriksen is Hollywood's skincare guru and all tough I never tried his products (I'm poor) I know that he got a very good reputation. I am usually not a fan of toner unless you got big pores or oily skin. I find that toner dries out the skin, - but rumor has it that this one actually hydrates! 

Full size retail is 279Dkr, this size however is on Nicehair for 29Dkr

John Masters Organics, Blood orange and Vanilla Body Milk

Famous for the mix of eco and aroma therapy, JMO is a brand I like a lot. Simple and with essential oils to make your beauty routine pure indulgence. The mix of the sweet and sensual vanilla with the fresh citrus blood orange intrigues me

Full size retails at 239Dkr but the small can be bough for 19Dkr

Bodynordic, Lovely Summer Body Oil Lotion

Body oil and body lotion meet at last! BodyNordic is a brand I like. Locally produced, marketed and with simple ingredients for a good price. Doesn't get better than that. 

Large size retails at 49Dkr but you can get this size for 19dkr

Korres, Guava Shower Gel

I am not familiar with Korres but I noticed the brand on some blogs. This gel is good for sensitive skin I'm told.

Full size retail is 95Dkr, get it HERE

Biosilk, Silk Therapy

Since I already got this, ill just copy paste: Leave in hair treatment, supposed to give new life to the hair and make it silky soft! Honestly, I couldn't resist the idea of a silk based treatment! Sadly it contains Methylparaben and Propylparaben 

Full size retail is 188Dkr but this size can be bought for 39Dkr

Liquirice by Johan Bulow

This really pissed me off. There is ONE piece in this. One. One piece

All ind all I am NOT happy. I feel ripped off and lied to. The value is nowhere near 199Dkr! The card puts the retail price insanely high (like it says 648Dkr for the biosilk full size). The one piece of liquorice is just rubbing it in. I am tempted to cancel right away. I could get a lot for 199Dkr on my own.

April Goodiebox

Goodiebox is the danish equivalent to Glossybox and Birchbox

EDC means Endoctrine disrupting chemicals. Group 1 is the 17 EDC who is proven to be harmful to humans and the environment.

I awaited this box impatiently, as I was unsure if I would renew my subscription or not. I can confidently say that I WILL, as its just amazing and its clear that Goodiebox have taken the critique seriously and toned down the hype. 

This box is inspired by Coco Chanel and her famous quote "Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance" and apparently danish woman has taken this to heart; The most part of the beauty budget of danish woman is used on basic products for the hair and skin and as any makeup artist will tell you, a skin well cared for is the best basis of beautiful makeup. 

And honestly, who doesn't feel more beautiful when you used a good body butter or brushing your hair after using a hair treatment? 

Nice, white and black as always. Elegance is a must!

And time to remove the silk paper

Here's the goodies!

Urtekram Nordic Birch Shampoo, normal hair

Urtekram is a danish vegan brand who prides themselves in using organic and ecological ingredients, where most of them is grown right here in Denmark! The shampoo is filled with neat ingredients such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera and extract from birch leafs. There is no EDC´s from list 1 in it! I find that the pump is very clever and I'm looking forward to try it out

Derma Eco 24H creme, Normal/combined skin

Derma eco is another ecological brand. This one got the swan mark (A Nordic label given to products that meets the strict criteria of environmental friendly produce as well as to allergens in the product) as well as certified by the Asthma and Allergy union, who helps people with allergies use the best products. As the name suggest many of the ingredients is ecological - 20% to be exact.  Like any creme with respect for itself it has sheabutter and aloe vera but also glycerine and Olea Europaea Fruit Oil. The ingredients list is actually very short which is always a good thing. No EDC´s or perfume in either

MaxFactor ageless elixir

Foundation and serum in one. I doubt ill try this, as its to dark for me (I'm ivory skinned). I like the idea tough of nutritious foundation. However, Max Factor is really bad when it comes to EDC´s and I was not surprised to find that this product contains Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Ethylhexyl, and Cyclotetrasiloxane all of which is in group 1! You DO NOT want this on your skin, no way no how.

Dr. Hauschka Body Care Kit

This got me so exited! The box is cool and I only heard good things about this brand! I must admit that I didn't search every single thing in this box for EDC´s but I looked through the ingredients lists and checked anything that sounded EDC like. It doesn't seem like there is any and that is great news! I will let you know when I get to check all of them, in case I find any. A little warning tough, a lot of these products contain PEANUT OIL, so beware if you have allergies

Included in the set, in neat travel sizes:  Quince Body Moisturizer, Rose Body Moisturizer, Rose Body Oil, Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil, Hand Cream, Rose Body Wash, Lemon Body Wash, and Lemon Bath

All in all I'm more than pleased with this box, and be sure that ill purchase the May box as well! If you re danish and like to subscribe to Goodiebox, then visit their website Goodiebox
