My Beauty Box November

There will be no or limited swatches for a while. Due to the weather and season, I cannot take a prober picture. Out lights are the kind that gives out an orange light which kinda screws up the pictures. Until I get my hands on a lamp with "natural" light, I cant swatch.

Just got my second box from MyBeautyBox and I'm very happy about it! Not as exited as I was with the first but still very happy!

The logo has been updated - sweet!

The topic this week is "Fall Trends" 

Rimmel, 1000 Kisses Lip Tint, Grippy Grape

The trend here is dark lips and these lip tints are the newest of the new; Tush for the lips! The color is a nice dark grape with plenty of red tones. Its a bit hard to apply but when you find the trick it smooths on easy. It contains Propylparaben  but not any other of the 17 EDC´s

Word of caution, this lip tint will make ALL of the lips visible, with any dryness exposed. Use a good lip scrub before using! 

After application, add the moisturising balm and you re done. The lip tint isn't the best in my opinion. Hard to make even and it doesn't seem to stick to the lips. 

Retail is 69,95Dkr, get it HERE

Clean&Clear Fast Clearing Spot Treatment

The trend is picture perfect skin (like that ever goes out of style). A concentrated formula for quick aid when that nasty pimple shows its red face! Supposedly ease the swelling and size in just a few hours. C&C is specialised in acne and sells in pharmacies. It contains 2% salicylic acid. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of natural remedies in this like Witch Hazel and several kinds of bark extracts. None of the 17 EDC´s! It does contain alcohol, so be sure to use a good moisturizer when your spot has gone. I hope it works, because I been haunted by spots around the nose and its getting on my nerves. 

Retail is 69,95Dkr

Essie Nail polish, Tart Deco 

The trend is pretty nails as everything goes this season. This is a nice pale peach color (I think I already have it tough). Essie is famous for its formaldehyde free polishes. I only tried Essie once before and that was no success.

Retail is 125Dkr, however Nicehair have it for 79Dkr,  Get it HERE

Jemma Kidd Make Up School, Tone on Tone Duo, Tweed

The trend is Metallic eyes. I'm indifferent about this. It is a nice item but Jemma Kidd went out of business earlier this month. Not so much fun getting from a brand that no longer exists. 

Its a nice two tone duo, with one in a subtle shine while the other is a shimmery metallic. There´s a brochure with instructions on how to use the duo. This is perfect for the holiday season!

Retail is 210Dkr

All in all I'm a very happy camper! Full size products and new trends to try out. The coupon to their web shop   for 30% off Urban Decay Midnight Emergency Kit + Benefit Finding Mr. Bright and free shipping for the Sally Hansen Hand duo was very appreciated as well. 

Fun Fact of the Day: Did you know that many of your favorite magazines was founded in the 1800? Cosmopolitan was founded in 1886 

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
