Lily Cole lip gloss

Another lucky bid on Ebay! I'm a sucker for girly stuff and Body Shops Lily Cole collection just hit me in the right place! I adore the products and the design! 


The Body Shop Lily Cole Lip gloss, 02 Go Wild
Standard tube but with the hip pink Lily Cole design on. The gloss itself gives a nice color to it. Of the 17 EDC´s there is only Propylparaben in it, as preservative. That isn't to bad and Body Shop is CRUELTY FREE. In a choice between EDC and Cruelty I choose the EDC´s.

The gloss got a neat tropical fruit scent, and very mild taste. The color is nonexistent to be honest. The gloss is very thick and sticky. I'm not going to keep it, as i don't like my glosses sticky. I got it for 1,55$ plus shipping on Ebay.

Fun fact of the day: L'OrĂ©al owns and produce a lot of your favorite brands, including Lancome, Garnier, Biotherm, Helena Rubenstein, Maybellline, Vichy, and Yves Saint Laurent

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

Body Shop teams up with Lily Cole


Lily Cole recently became ambassador for Body Shop and with that launching a new cruelty free line of makeup! Its limited and will hit UK stores in June. The makeup is pink, girly and filled with the new pearly shaped that dominated the beauty market right now, including a face primer and blush pearls with a pink puff that makes me think of old Hollywood starlets.

Ill be sure to get my friend in UK to get me a haul of this!

Body Shop moringa body butter

I finally been able to try the new bodybutter. I had to wait till my skin cleared up after some dry-due-to-frost damage but its all fine now. I got the Body butter in my Goodiebox (Goodiebox is the danish equivlant to Birchbox and Glossybox) in a nice 50ml size. The ingredients seems very good, a lot of oils, shea butter and glycerine. You can read the whole ingredients list here: HERE 
It doesnt seem to contain any of the endocrine disrupting pharaphens from the EU list 1 either. That is good since Body Shop got critisized for still using these pharabhens recently but they say they are phasing them out. I dont think there´s perfume in it either. The Body Shop is against animal testing as well. Thumbs up! 



 
The Moringa body butter got a pleasent scent of flower. It doesnt seem artificial but rather a natural smell. Not overwhelming, discreet and very nice

Ironically, the body butter has texture as butter! It looks and feels like butter that was left on the counter lol. Thats pretty funny. Its easy to administer and a little goes a long way. I got no allergic reaction from it, only a soft skin! I reccomend using a bit more than you need, and use the remainder on your hands!

Im positive that ill purchase this product when I empty this one. The scent makes me feel nostalgic and the quality is good enough for me to spend 150dkr on a 200ml fullsize

February Goodiebox

Many of you already know this concept. Its like Birchbox and Glossybox just for Danes! I was exited when I learned about this,  hoping it wouldn't be a box of pharmacy sized samples from unknown brands. My doubts was put to shame, and I'm defiantly going to continue to get Goodiebox each and every month! The price is all right as well - 119dkr including shipping. That's approx 13£ or 20$

Without further delays, let me present my Goodiebox! Ill keep posting about the products as I try them out :D


A white box with purple string. Purple is my favorite color, so this just added to the joy! Even my cat was curios lol

Black paper and the logo - Classy! 

And here we are - its like Christmas! 

Weleda Havtorn (sea buck thorn) hand lotion

Essie nail polish (full size!) in Peach Daiquiri. It is from a line that's apparently not yet released in Denmark. Regardless, the color is right up my alley! Looking forward to find out what the fuzz is about

Max factor 2000 calories mascara - full size! 

Moringa Body butter from Body shop - Mmmm! This is such a treat to my skin after the winter!

Nutriganics smoothing Serum sample from the Body shop - Small one-time sample but still nice

And a little extra, Chocolate covered Liquorice almonds!

All in all im extremely pleasently surprised! If they keep this up, they will have a regular costumer for years!
