November Goodiebox

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.
Goodiebox is a danish equivalent of Glossybox and Birchbox.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Joyeux Noel! Glædelig Jul! Hyvaa joulua! Bo Nada! Kala Christouyenn! Mele Kalikimaka! Froehliche Weihnachten! Bon Pasco! 
Its Christmas! YAY! Yuletide for all! And what better way to start the season than with a present for yourself?
The theme of this box is "Beauty Tips"

So any things! Yay! 

Nivea Repair & Care SOS Bodylotion
Nivea is a brand most people know and love. The blue can of Nivea has been a remedy for woman for decades, used by our mothers and grandmothers. This creme is to very dry skin with need for extra moisture and care. Perfect for when your skin feels like sandpaper after a walk! As it is the case for most skin remedies, it contains Methylparaben and Ethylparaben 
Retail is 49,95Dkr

Goldwell Dualsenses Color Shampoo
A shampoo dedicated to keeping your colored hair intense and soft. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate which is an UV filter. It is especially good for fine hair.
Retail is 119Dkr, Get it HERE

Madara Time Miracle Day Cream Anti Age
I am unfamiliar with this brand, but according to the website it is a ecological, paraben and cruelty free brand. This anti age cream contains tons of natural ingredients like sea thorn, red clover and birch. 
Retail is 299Dkr, get it HERE

Madara Deep Moisture Fluid
Deep moisturising day cream, Eco and cruelty free! Helps the skin recover from imbalance. Perfect for combined skin! Rose, avocado, raspberry - all good ingredients to nourish your skin. I cant wait to test this!
Retail is 226Dkr get it HERE

Madara Delicate Cleansing Milk
A soft and calming cleanser, that removes any dirt in your skin gently. This makes it especially good to use on sensitive skin or around the eyes. 
Retail 144Dkr get it HERE

Matas Volume Powder
Hair powder to help with volume. Not much to say about this one, I never used hair powder before but I'm looking forward to try it out. It is without perfume so that's a plus!
Retail is 59,95Dkr, get it HERE

Lóreal Proffessionel Abondance De Cacao Masque
Wohoo! I LOVE chocolate, and I loved the shampoo I got in a previous Goodiebox and I'm sure ill love this to! Seriously folks, cacao is like THE ingredients, antioxidant and anti depressive. Cacao is the food of the gods! Parabenfree and again with the rough bottle that somehow seems natural despite being plastic. 
Retail is 162Dkr, get it HERE

Fredsted Chai Latte
Fredsted is my favorite tea brand for one reason: They make my preferred Christmas tea A spicy and a green tea Chai which is a big trend (only surpassed by bubble tea) but it never really got my attention. I like my tea bitter so the idea of a milky tea never done it for me. I think ill give this to a friend. Again... I don't like tea´s or chocolate or stuff like that in my box. I really don't. 
Retail is 34,95Dkr, in your local supermarket

If you want to join Goddiebox, do it HERE for only 119Dkr a month 

Christmas Fun Fact:  Many of the elements in modern Christmas comes from the heathen traditions of Yule, like the Holly that was a symbol of fertility and even the burning of fir was a part of the old rituals surrounding winter solstice

Goodiebox March part 2

And here's a little update as to my experience with the products :)



Pukka Raidance Serum
It got a strong scent of... Herbs? It kinda remind me of my stinging nettle shampoo. The serum is quickly absorbed by the skin and leaves it very smooth. I wouldn't use it during daytime due to the scent, but its perfect for use at night under your night cream 

Aco sense & care hand creme
Very thick texture, absorbed fast and leaves hands smooth. Its not an amazing hand creme, but its fine for hands with need of a little extra moisture

Pukka tea - "Harmonise" and "Cleance"
Its pretty good tea, especially cleanse. I'm a sucker for green teas with peppermint

Blax Hair elastics
Best-elastic-bands-ever! I cant believe how good they are! They keep my thick hair gathered without the tight-bun look, they don't slip down easily but when you need to take them out, they slide off without hassle! I need more of these!

Kevin Murphy Luxury Wash
Contrary to what I thought, this is VERY thick! The texture reminded me of well made caramel sauce, thick, sticky and shiny. There was enough for 2 washes in this! It creates loads of foam instantly which makes it a breeze to work with. There my praise ends tough. To my deep disappointment, the shampoo didn't do anything but make my hair clean. My hair had no extra volume, smoothness, shine or anything after use. It did nothing, neither good or bad

March Goodiebox

Goodiebox is the danish equivalent to Glossybox and Birchbox
EDC means Endoctrine disrupting chemicals. Group 1 is the 17 EDC who is proven to be harmfully to humans and the environment.

This months box has been VERY delayed. It only started being delivered Wednesday which is a bit of a downer. However the promise of 13 things in the box eased the impatience, as well as they added Uffe Buchhard, a guy who apparently is very "in" and expert in beauty and fashion. Sounds promising.

Nice white box with ribbon as always - neat!



The kitty is curious as always!

Kevin Murphy Luxury Wash
According to KM´s website, this is sulfate and paraphen free shampoo, but I cant find any online lists of the ingredients. Skimming the back of the bottle revealed none of the 17 EDC on the European unions group 1. I am however always skeptic when someone don't publish their ingredients on their website. There is cocoa, shea butter and a lot of other oils in it, which is good for thick hair like mine. The bottle is small (40ml) and a very stupid shape. I will need to cut it open to get everything and with my thick hair theres barely enough for one wash. It got a spicy scent of cocoa and seems very liquid

Pukka nourishing face oil
Again its organic, and damn its filled with all sorts of stuff! Every seed oil you can imagine, from hemp to sesame to pomegranate is in this thing! I wish I could have gotten this in travel size and the serum in sample. Oh well.

Pukka tea - "Harmonise" and "Cleance"
Three tea packages... I don't know, I find it very odd to have something like that in a beauty box

Blax Hair elastics
The infamous elastic bands that Hollywood go nuts over (apparently - never heard of them). I'm not all that sure about how good they are to my hair, but time will tell

Aco sense & care hand creme
Hand creme with Canola oil, Q10 and other nourishing ingredients. It does however contains Propylparaben  and Methylparabe wich is in the EDC group 1. NOT GOOD!  


OH MY GOSH nail polish in chestnut
Not much to say here, I'm not a huge fan of nude colors.

Pukka Raidance Serum
This is pretty neat. Its a serum to use prior to face cream. Its ecological, without paraphens and synthetic chemicals. Its filled to the brim with neat things such as Aloe vera, Honey, Honeysuckle flower extract, chamomile and things like that. 

Veet suprem´essence wax strips
I tried Veet once before, with the result that I had more wax on my legs than hairs on the strip. Maybe these are better?

And three eastereggs. Yum yum!

All in all I'm not as disappointed as I was first opening it but I'm still not as exited as I was with the previous. I miss some makeup products! They'll get another chance tough (And Pukka should consider ditching the drugstore look) as I know this time was hectic and google showed that the items where a tad more glamorous than they seem

Shoppingtrip, accessories

Went shopping with a friend in the delightfully sunny spring weather yesterday! As I left my town to head for hers, I left grey clouds and drove into sunshine! When I returned later that evening it was cloudy and foggy at home. We enjoyed an ice cream in the mall and later shared a ham pizza at an Italian restaurant while discussing Anne Rice. Certainly a wonderful day to spend in company.

I bought a shirt and a cardigan, but no pics of those yet I'm afraid. Instead I have the other stuff I bought :D


Dead sea mud shampoo from "Tiger" - a store that sells things cheap for 10dkr, 20dkr, 50dkr or 100dkr (most for 10 and 20). This is pure liquid magic for my scalp!


Orange tea in a tin from Tiger


And a pretty nail polish from Tiger


Set of 3 necklace´s from H&M. I love gold mixed with rocks!

And the Babushka is so adorable!


I also got a hairpin/brooch in pleather in H&M


That's all from me today, hope you all enjoy a sunny funny day! Don't be a scaredy like Peppernoose!
