Body Shop Lily Cole, Puff on Radiance

You thought I was gone for good didn't ya. But I'm not- I'm right here! Sorry about the unscheduled hiatus, I should be back now. You know how it is when the real world gets in the way.

Any who, I been very lucky on Ebay and snatched myself some Lily Cole goodies for a fraction of the price (Saved 50% compared to the danish prices) and yesterday I received the Puff on Radiance!

The Body Shop Lily Cole Puff on Radiance
This is a nifty highlighter! The container is girly and I'm a fan of anything with a puff and in pearl form lol. I bought it off a private seller on Ebay for a winning bid of 6,50 GBP plus shipping

There is a little plastic holder between the puff and the pearls, very practical!


The puff itself is worthy of a princess

Look how pretty they are! Shimmer shimmer shimmer! They have no remarkable scent


I know this is a shitty picture but it was almost impossible to catch the subtle highlight with the camera. I had to put on a really thick layer and turn down the flash! The pearls are soft on the skin, I got no allergic reaction at all either. As allways I looked through the EDC´s and sadly this contains Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben and Propylparaben. The most mindbogglingly about this is that all 4 of those are PRESERVATIVES! I mean seriously? You need four different preservatives? Ill make sure that when I use this, I wont have any other products with the EDC´s in (to mix EDC´s is the most risky). On the positive side, it does contain talc and seed oils.

All in all tough, a great purchase. Its cruelty free but got EDC´s. I guess you just cant have it all

Clinique set

Happy Mothers day to all! Well... Premothers day at least ;) Clinique offered some gift sets in celebration of mothers day and since I ran out it seemed like a perfect opportunity to get some more of my preferred skin treatments. 




So pretty! I love gift wrapping! Sometimes when I buy stuff I ask to get it wrapped, just so I can unwrap it. Totally not Eco friendly I know, but hey ill try to reuse it in crafts! It was 275Dkr with shipping 

Flowers and silver clutch, always good!

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap, mild
I love this, its really gentle with a lot of foam. It doesn't dry out the skin, and easy removes makeup as well

Clinique Clarifying Lotion, 2
This clarifying lotion doesn't dry out the skin, which is good for sensitive skin like mine. It reduce the pore size and generally freshen up the skin. 


Clinique 7 Day Scrub Rinse Off Cream
Nice and odour free scrub, the grains are really fine, like sand almost

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
This is like amazing. I had to get used to the scent but the cream itself is amazing, it gives loads of moisture without adding to any oily t-zone


I also got two samples- which is really cool as Danish retailers are usually very very VERY cheap when it comes to samples (even our magazines - I envy UK)

Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector
This is some kind of anti-wrinkle serum


All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage
Serum with caffeine and build-in massage, suppose to help puffy eyes and reduce those pesky dark circles under the eyes.

Cant wait to get to use it all :D

Goodiebox April Urtekram shampoo

I tried the Nordic birch shampoo from Urtekram. Its a lot different from any other shampoo I tried. It is quite liquid and it took some work to get it properly into the hair. I took the "rinse and repeat" course, to give it a proper shot. I recommend to take 1-2 pumps and massage it in your hands before massaging it into the scalp. Be gentle but throughout from root to tip. It feels more like a hair serum or a hair mask than a shampoo. Rinsing, my hair didn't feel like it does with other shampoo´s, more like it had just got wet. However afterwards while combing it was clear that the there was a difference! My hair seemed more flowy, easier to comb and a lot stronger! Totally worth the extra effort of administering it. All I need now is a good conditioner to go with it

Dandelion ring

I purchased this dandelion ring, although I rarely wear rings, I couldn't leave this alone. Dandelions are very special to me because of the danish phrase "Dandelion child" which means a child who despite the odds kept pushing forward and kept blossoming. Its a reference to the strong roots of dandelions who seem to always grow back.

I paid the modest price of 99 cents for this! I purchased it from Ashopone on Ebay. Its made of metal and is adjustable in size

Together with Art Deco she´s now launching her very own makeup line named "Dita Von Teese classics" as they will feature products that the leading lady herself finds essential in her beauty bag.
