October Goodiebox

Goodiebox is a danish equivalent of Glossybox and Birchbox. For the first time I think  I received the box in the right month! The 31th... Oh well. They changed carriers to Post Danmark which I'm pretty indifferent about.

Lets see whats inside

 The theme of this months box is "Staff Favorites", The favorite products of the Goodiebox team. 

Mentholatum Softlips Vitamin Enriched Lipbalm

Soft and almost melting lip balm enriched with vitamins and avocado oil. I think there is some Menthol in as well. It got Spf 20, which makes it a perfect friend on skiing trips. It´s easy to apply and feels like its melts onto the lips. It is Paraben and cruelty free!!

Redken Color Extend Shampoo

I never tried Redken before to be honest. I'm way to cheap to buy shampoo at those prices. I do know that the brand have a lot of goodwill and often shows up in different magazines "Readers Choice" awards. This particular shampoo is to aid in protecting colored hair, keeping the hair lush and strong without damaging the color. Going through the ingredients I discovered the (almost) always present Ethylparaben and Methylparaben but also Ethylhexyl.

Redken Color Extend Conditioner

No Shampoo without a conditioner. This is suppose to get the hair smooth and shiny. It got the same EDC´s as its counterpart

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Frizz Remedy

Ah Aussie, my beloved brand! So smooth, so lush and so funny. Again a funny little comment on the label: "AAAARRGHHHH! Don't give up if you struggle with frizzy hair!". So personal and makes you feel like the brand is down-to-earth. This hair treatment contains Aloe Vera and Jojoba oil, one of my favorite ingredients.

Bvlgari Omnia Coral Perfume

Since of my allergies I cant really tell you much about this. Goodiebox describes it as a luxurious scent with Goji berries, water lilies and pomegranate.

Sephora Collections Nailpolish, Moody Woman

Ill admit to mild disappointment when the promised Sephora product was a nail polish as we seems to get one in the box all the time. I had hoped for an eyeshadow. That said I must say that I do like this one a lot. A nice gold green hue, one coat is all it takes and my is it easy to apply! The easiest I tried I reckon. It dries wicked fast and I think the name suggest who should use it rather than the color ;) 

Retail is 35Dkr get it at your local Sephora

Kinder Bueno

An odd thing to put in a beauty box, but who can complain about chocolate? I didn't think so either

All in all I'm satisfied, not blown away. If you want to get Goodiebox, you can become a member on their WEBSITE for 119dkr a month

Milk_Shake Whipped Cream Leave in Conditioner

Yawser! I just HAD to share my delight about this product! I got it in my August Goodiebox and it have not disappointed me one tiny bit! Super easy to use, just like mousse or if you will whipped cream ;) A big hand full is enough - and dont eat it even tough its tempting lol, massage it into your clean damp hair and voila: Happy soft shiny hair! With a delightful scent of caramel! Best part is that your hands don't get sticky or greased when you use it. You can buy one HERE

Fun fact of the Day: Max Factor was the first to sell concealer? It was called Erace and was launched in 1954

August Goodiebox

Goodiebox is the Danish equivalent of Glossybox and Birchbox.

It seems they had some troubles with delivery as I didn't receive my box till Tuesday. I am still not going to recommend signing up for this just yet, as I am less than pleased with the way they treat other costumers. I haven't had any issue myself, but I'm aware of several very unprofessional responses via their Facebook.

Regardless, they seem to try and straighten things out, so I'm holding on a bit more. On a related note, I signed up for MyBeautyBox which is a cosmetic focused box! They already made promise of Urban Decay in the first box! I will of course review them when I get the box (shipped October 15th).
And now to this months - or rather last months ;) - Beauty box!

Pink band again - I do love pink <3

This weeks box is dedicated to Vidal Sassoon, the man who in 1960 invented "The Wedge Bob" and changed the way we saw woman's hair forever! He´s the grandfather of the modern short styles with his vision of hair that was easy to style and keep. Most of the products this month is all about the hair!

Loreal Texture Experts Smooth Ultime

I'm not exactly sure what this is... Goodiebox calls it a "Hair Tamer" but I haven't got a clue what that means. Contains Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and Methylparaben both EDC´s so I doubt ill be using it.

Full size retail is 192Dkr

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Shampoo, Conditioner and Serum

John Frieda is the stars go-to hair expert, and rumor has it that his products are amazing. Upon inspection tough it turned up that they have several EDC´s in them including Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Probylparaben and  Methylparaben  but ther´es some good stuff to like Glycerin, olive oil and mineral oil. 

Full size retail is 89Dkr

Davines Absolute Beautyfying Potion

The product I'm most exited about this time!! It is a hair oil, and im looking very much forward to use it! Sadly, again parabens :( Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, which is an UV filter. 

Full size retail is 300Dkr

Milk_Shake Whipped Cream, Leave in Conditioner

I love quirky stuff and this whipped cream conditioner tickles my funny bone :D It smells like caramel whipped cream, UMM I say! I couldn't spot any parabens on the label yay! It contains sunflower seed oil and milk protein! And we all know that Cleopatra bathed in milk to keep her beauty 

Full size retail is 159Dkr

Futura Silica

A diet supplement to hair and nails. I'm pretty iffy about this one. I know that many people are unaware of the consequences it can have to mix drugstore pills with medicine, and I cant really see the purpose of a diet supplement in a beauty box...

Retail is 79,95Dkr

Cacharel Catch Me Perfume

Booo :( As a perfume allergic I cant test this. I'm putting it in my "give away" box

Look how pretty that bottle is on the pic! Curse my allergies

Gosh Light´N Shine Lip Glaze, Pick Me

This is really a treat! Full size and limited edition; can one ask for more?

It got a mirror on the side - very clever!

and light in the top!

The applicator is a brush. Not very innovative but it suits the texture of the gloss. It is VERY sticky! The scent and taste make me think of candy apples, and the texture; Syrup. I WANT to love it but I have a hard time with sticky gloss.

I couldn't find the ingredients list, if anyone knows where to find it let me know!

The color is a dark plum with a hint of red. Like red wine (or candy apples).The shine is so intense,  a real eye catcher! 

Retail is 99Dkr

And as a goodbye, a pic of me I took trying to get a good picture of the gloss - sexy pout yeah! 

Fun fact of the Day: Hair is made of keratin, same as your nails!

Nicehair Haul

I decided it was time to try out a new website and get myself some cheap and neat treats for my hair! What I love about Nicehair is their bargain categories and deal of the day. The bargains are always 19Dkr, 39Dkr, 59Dkr, 79Dkr, and 99Dkr! They offer a big variety of hair products as well as makeup from the big brands and the discount ones as well and they always got a good deal on. If you buy for 500Dkr shipping is free (within Denmark). They use GLS and Post Danmark, personally I choose GLS and got it delivered to a package shop. It only took one full day before I got a mail saying my package had arrived!

Head Jog 201 Cutting Comb, Pink

I been needing a new comb for a while and jumped to the opportunity to get one for a mere 19Dkr. 

Retail is 29Dkr 

 Blax hair elastics, Black

I got some of these in the March Goodiebox, and they are without a doubt the very best elastic bands I ever had! Like they promise, no snag and they can hold even my wild and thick hair! Best part is that the bands can be stretched to your personal preference - you just gotta get over the fear of snapping them ;)

Retail is 69Dkr, I paid 49Dkr

EOS Lip Balm, Honeysuckle Honeydew

I read about EOS lip balms and I seen them in various tabloids in the hands of celebrities, and I have wondered what all the hype was about. I mean it is just a round lip balm? I stand corrected; The balm is harder than normal lip balm (I though it was covered in a plastic cap at first) but smooth and easy to apply. You can either "suck" it (make kissy mouth and turn the balm) or apply as you would any lip stick. It got a good grip, and you don't risk having it slide from you fingers and the container is sturdy enough to survive the depts of a handbag. The scent is pleasant and the taste is very very mild. You wont lick your lips to taste it but you wont make a face if you do either. The lip balm is 95% organic, paraben free and sports my favorite skin ingredients; Jojoba oil and shea butter!

Retail is 80Dkr, I paid 69Dkr 

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo

Aussie is an Australian brand of haircare products wich focus on the many local ingredients, in this case macadamia nuts. The bottle is a bit like an old pharmacy in a good way, and the label did make me smile:

For hair that's dry/damaged/a bit unhappy

Its a miracle (well kind of). Not like child birth or a solar eclipse, but our formula with Australian macadamia nut oil infuses moisture into dry, damaged hair helping to condition and smooth"

I love a little irony and humor in marketing especially when they can poke fun of themselves. I didn't notice any of the 17 EDC´s, but I know that Aussie do tend to have parabens in their products.

Retail 99,95Dkr,  I paid 49Dkr

Indola Volume Conditioning Spritz

Leave in conditioner spray, to add volume. The cool thing about this is that there is sea salts and minerals in it and we all know how amazing hair looks after a day on the beach! I'm not familiar with the brand tough. I couldn't spot any of the 17 EDC´s

Retail is 129Dkr, I paid 19Dkr

Biosilk Silk Therapy

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 which is on the EU list of EDC´s. On the plus side, it is very little you use at a time and only in the hair.

Retail is 74Dkr, I paid 39Dkr

Osis+ Magic

Shine spray with silicone and glycerin to give the hair some extra shine!

Retail is 149Dkr, I paid 59Dkr

TIGI Catwalk Curlesque Curls Rock Amplifier

A fiber like hair creme to be crumpled into the hair to give beautiful curls. Tigi Catwalk is PARABEN FREE! How awesome is that? I cant wait to use this on my natural curls! I love the bottle, very chic!

Retail is 179Dkr, I paid 99Dkr

Batiste Dry Shampoo, Sweet & Spirited Boho

The famous dry shampoo from UK, in a fruity smell version. The bottle is screaming summer! The idea with this is to spray it in your hair, let it work and then brush it out. It will absorb excess oils and freshen up your hair - perfect for camping trips or if your hair (like mine) tend to seem greasy rather quick. There don't appear to be any of the 17 EDC´s in it.

Retail is 75Dkr, I paid 39Dkr

And for some reason there was a small bag of gummy bears in the package XD

Fun fact of the Day: The first hair perm required the costumer to sit still for 6 hours with as much as a total of 2Lbs of curlers in her hair!

Head and Shoulders to the rescue!

Its winter, its cold and my poor hair, despite usually being pretty robust, have been getting pretty dry because of the salt and cold. To make matters worse, my scalp is dry and itchy due to psoriasis and that leaves one unhappy hair. Fortunately, rescue wasn't far away!

Head&Shoulders cool menthol shampoo

What can I say? Its cool and refreshing while calming My scalp. It foams a lot which makes it easier to massage into the hair - even with thick hair as I have! Usually these kind of anti-dandruff things gives me an itchy scalp but not this time. The day after my psoriasis had become a lot better and now that i used it for a few weeks, it´s allmost gone!

Head&Shoulders Damage Rescue conditioner

A real fat and delish conditioner! I massaged it in, from root to tip and let it sit as I washed my body. The difference was showing from I dried my hair, and the day after it was wavy with new energy! Its soft and shiny,

 I cant stop touching it, its THAT soft baby!

 Seriously, best conditioner EVER!
