My Beauty Box

I signed up for the new beauty box to compete with Goodiebox because of the promise of more makeup and brands like Stila and Urban Decay. I was NOT disappointed! Bear in mind that MBB intend to sell the products in their own web shop (opening next week) so that is why there is no retail price or link to purchase. If you want to sign up you can do it HERE for only 129 a month

Pink. It is PINK! How fucking cute is this!?? 

Black box, very sturdy and very elegant. This is going to be reused!

Pink silk paper! So awesome! The theme of this box is "Everyday Glam"

Sally Hansen Soothing Hand Scrub

Part one of the "Two-Step Renewal System for Hands". The system got a lot of neat things in it like olive oil, almond oil and keratin. Use the scrub first to remove dry skin and culitles

Sally Hansen Brightening & Firming Hand Cream

Part 2 of  "Two-Step Renewal System for Hands". This smells like coconut! Mmmm coconut! Apply after scrub to add moisture. The cream got UV factor 20, so it also protects from the sun - clever!

Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint, Indecent

I love Urban Decay. The purple theme, the urban look. Not to mention they are behind the famous Naked palette!

Mirror is always a nice touch. The color is peachy in the J-Lo way. It contains vitamin E, C and A so your skin gets nurtured while you look fab! It is very creamy, easy to apply and it takes nothing more than a finger to use

With flash - it got a nice subtle highlight

Without flash - this color will work for most as it is easy to build up to stronger color depending on your skin tone

W7 Mega Matte Lips

I THINK this in the color coral but I'm not sure. This product isn't quite  a gloss and not quite a liquid lipstick. It´s smoother than liquid lipstick and a lot more pigmented than gloss. It glides on easy but I recommend using a lip brush to smooth it out

Pretty!

Stila Glaze Lip Liner, Melon

Stila is a great brand in my opinion. This liner is no exception, the color is lush and easy to apply

Nothing exceptional about the design but it do what its suppose to and it do it well

Pro-tip: Color your entire lip with liner and dap powder on them before applying lip stick. It helps the lipstick last longer

Fun Fact of the Day:  Redheads on average has around 90.000 hair strands while dark hair can have as many as 110.000. Those with most hair is blonde's with a whopping 140.000

September Goodiebox

Yes yes I know - VERY late review, I do hope you don't mind to much tough. I'm expecting to blog a lot more now that I got a new and awesome phone with an awesome camera and a nice little "light box" to use for pictures. All I need now is some lights to help it, but all in time. I still haven't received my order from the Models Own sale, but as soon as it arrives ill of course show off my purchases.

Goodiebox is a danish equivalent of BirchBox and Glossybox
EDC means Endoctrine disrupting chemicals. The ingredients in red is EDC´s from the EU list of 17 that has been proven harmfull

This months theme is Rock It Up, inspired by the one and only Lady Gaga who recently performed in Copenhagen.

All together!  

 

Diesel, Loveoverdose perfume

The perfume is described as a fresh and fruity scent with notes of orange flowers and liquorice. I do like the full size flagon, very girly! I cant tell if its good or not since of allergies

Retail is 275Dkr, get it HERE

David Beckham, The Essence por homme perfume

In my opinion 99,9% of perfumes for men stink. You better make your own opinions on this XD

Retail is 230Dkr, get it HERE

Oriflame Beauty Eyeliner Stylo

To me, Oriflame is equal to old ladies that don't know quality and just need something to smear on the face twice a year when there is a party - Cheap and bad quality. No offense to anyone but that's how I perceived it, so I was pretty curios to if they changed since my mom would receive her monthly packages back in 1990ies. Well... This stinks. Literally. Like benzine or turpentine or something like that. YUCK! That went straight to the garbage can.

It also contains  methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben 

Retail is 110Dkr (wheres the days where Oriflame was cheap??), get it HERE

Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit

After the disaster of the eyeliner I was less than positive when opening this one. Luckily this isn't so bad. It´s not amazing but it does what its suppose to. A good beginners kit i´d say. Decent pigment and the wax is easy to use as well.

Retail is 69Dkr, Get it HERE

Nutrilett Hunger Control Bar

A diet bar in a beautybox. Good grief. Like the diet supplement in the previous box, this just rubs me the wrong way. I also dislike these things in general. Eat a fucking apple if you need a healthy snack, not some mineral added candy bar. They claim it can be eaten instead of breakfast and just to be clear: Then you fuck up your body. The breakfast needs a lot more to keep you going till lunch. It is body physics 101: To keep the engine running to burn off calories, you need to eat 3 main meals and 3 snacks a day. That way you keep your sugar level steady and your burner burning. 

Retail is 19,95Dkr and you can get it here HERE

Lóreal Proffessionel Abondance De Cacao Shampoo

I LOVE chocolate and incidently cacao! You can practically sell me any product as long as it contains chocolate lol. The shampoo is designed specifically for fine Scandinavian hair - which I don't have. Oh well maybe it will do something nice for my hair to. What I love about this is that its PARABEN FREE and no silicone either! The bottle got this nice rough "natural" feel about it

Retail is 118Dkr but Nicehair has it for only 98Dkr. Get it HERE

Orofluido Elixir

Dye my hair pink and call me Lucy! WOW!!! What a gem to receive! I heard nothing but praise to this hair-oil-that-isn't-quite-a-hair-oil. There is something about this that makes me feel like I'm sucked into Arabian nights. The color, the logo, the bottle. Like I'm a princess getting pampered. 

Ad to dry or damp hair, lenght and tips not scalp! Its filled with good stuff like argan, cyprus and lin oil. It also contains perfume but I hope I can use it anyway. unfortunately it also contains Cyclotetrasiloxane ::( Bummer! 

Retail is 129Dkr but Nicehair got it for 77,40Dkr. Get it HERE

Max Factor Face Finity 3-in-one All Day Flawless Foundation

Primer, concealer and foundation in one. I'm all for products with more than one use! They got 5 shades available and its paraben free

Retail is 149Dkr, Get it HERE

Fun Fact of the Day: Artistic nail art is not a modern invention. The Incas painted eagles on their nails

Dita Von Teese by Art Deco

Beautybay has launched Dita Von Teese´s makeup collection by Art Deco. I must say the prices are very reasonable and the best part is the Beauty Box Quadrat in which you can mix and match the eye shadows! I'm going to add this to my wish list for sure! Check it out on the WEBSITE

I discussed this line in THIS blog post earlier this year

An item is Vintage if it dates back to 1920-1960. Anything after this is Retro

Breast Cancer awareness Month!

Its that time of year again where we support our sisters who suffered from cancer. An added bonus is the tons of great products supporting! Ill make a special page to put all the cancer related stuff, so you don't have to look to find it, as well as blog posts.

First, Kræftens Bekæmpelse is having "Lyserød Lørdag" (Pink Saturday) on October 6th. Make sure to check your local newspaper for events! 

Kræftens Bekæmpelse was founded in 1928, but got roots in the 1904 "Ordinary Danish Doctor Association Cancer Committee" and the related Radium foundation that gathered money so they could make radium stations for cancer patients to be treated.  KB does not only fight to treat cancer and spread awareness but is also deep in the scientific field. Since 1949 an institute for cancer research has been located in Copenhagen. The institute is considered among the worlds finest and is home to one of the largest collection of cell material in the world. It was also this institute that finally found a vaccine for cervical cancer (the one caused by virus), the so called HPV vaccine. 

As all ways several stores is supporting the cause by offering special pink merchandise. Today ill show some of my favorites from Kræftens Bekæmpelse´s webshop
