New in - Fleur de Force beauty

Hey all!

I finally got my hands on some of the products of the lovely youtuber Fleur de Force beauty range. I got one of the Beauty bundles sold at feelunique.com and in it were four products - the makeup bag which is supercute with pastel coloring and rose gold details and it's huge! You also get the Cosmic bronze eyeshadow quad, the Written in the stars lipgloss and a pair of Simply Fleur falsh eyelashes. Such a bargain! I haven't had a chance to try all the products properly yet but it looks promising. The only thing I have tried so far is the lipgloss and I really like it. It's the perfect "my lips but better" colour, very creamy and smooth - not sticky at all and it smells like something you'd want to eat. So thumbs up on the gloss! I also wanted to get the Fleur loves lashes, the 3/4 ones but they're sold out unfortunately.. Hope they'll be back in stock soon.
Have you tried any of the Fleur de Force beauty range? Thoughts? :)

Dior Addict perfume + gift with purchase

Hey all!

As you may or may not know I absolutely love perfumes and I'm always on the hunt for "the perfect scent". So I thought I'd share one of my favourites with you all today. It's the Dior Addict. I love it so much!! When I first tried it in store it was actually the Addict Eau Fraiche I was intrested in, but the sales woman sprayed the Addict instead and I was completely sold. I didn't buy it at that time, I always want to try a scent a few times before I buy just to be sure I really like it and think it suits me. But when I finally decided to get it I was lucky enough to get a really awesome gift with purchase - a make up bag filled with mini products. Yup. I did a 'lil happy dance when I got home and saw the goodies I got! ;)

What's your favourite perfume?

Empties #5

Hey all!

It's time for another empties post. Here's the stuff I used up over the last couple of months.

Dove Intensive repair shampoo x2 - This is a really good budget shampoo in my opinion. I like this one best of the Dove range.
Dove Daily moisture shampoo - Was ok, but not as good as the Intensive repair.
L'oréal Eye & Lip eye make-up remover - This is one you have to shake before you use it, works great on all make-up even waterproof as it says on the bottle. I use this to take of my foundation as well. Already have a back up.

The Body Shop Passion fruit shower gel - I love The Body Shop shower gels, they are the best ones and this one smells sooo good. To bad they don't sell it anymore. Have a back up though and would repurchase if they'd bring it back.
The Body Shop Early harvest raspberry shower gel - Well, the same goes for this one. I absolutely love it! Such a shame it was just limited edition.
Rexona deodorant - Best range of deodorants I've tried.
Origins GinZing moisturiser - This smells of oranges! Soo good! I liked the cream too, it's very light and was perfect during the summer. Will repurchase at some point.
ELF Makeup mist & set - The best setting spray I've tried. The only thing is it doesn't spray very even, but it's not too bad.

Nicki Minaj Onika Edp - Oh yes, this is one of my all time favourite fragrances. It smells sooo good!! I can't really describe the scent other than it's amazing. You have to try it!!!
H&M Lime Coconut body splash - I used this as a room spray and for that it worked just fine.
Yves Saint Laurent Forever youth liberator eye cream - I got this as a free sample when I ordered something else, and it was good. Not sure I'd buy again because of the price tag...
Calvin Klein CK one EdT - This one I also used as a room spray because it's too much citrus notes in it for me to wear as a perfume.
Isadora Anti-Shine mattifying powder - I've used this for years and it's good and maybe I'll get it again but for now I use a powder from Rimmel.

Have you tried any of these products? Thoughts and opinions anyone?

Review - Amika shampoo and mask

Hey all!

I posted a haul of Amika products many months ago now and I realised I never wrote a review of any of the products I got. So I thought maybe I should do that today. :)
Just to let you know, my hair is typical scandinavian, straight, thin and flat with zero volume.

Here we go...

Amika Triple Rx Shampoo - I got this hoping it would help with my dry and itchy scalp. Maybe it got a little bit better, at least it didn't get worse. This shampoo is sulphate free and that's supposed to be a good thing right? Well not for me I'm afraid. I've tried a few sulphate free shampoos and I can never get my hair clean when I use them. I'm always left with oily and greasy roots and that's not what I want when I wash my hair. I got the same result with the Amika Rx. The weird thing is the ends of my hair got so so dry and it was super difficult to brush it even after using the mask. And the shampoo is supposed to be best for "dry and damaged hair".. I used up half the bottle before I gave up. Wont repurchase. 1/5

Amika Nourishing Mask - This is a good one! Not paired with the Amika Rx shampoo though, for my hair these two weren't a good combination. But when I use the mask after any other shampoo it is amazing. Thick and creamy and it's no problem brushing even wet hair, the brush glides easy peasy through my hair. I love it and would recommend it to everyone! 5/5

Make Up Store - Twenty Forever

Hey all! :)

I wanted to share a lovely body butter I found in the sale a few months back. It's from the Swedish brand Make Up Store and when I found it I had no idea they sold other products than makeup... I have clearly been missing out 'cause the scent "Twenty Forever" is one of the best scents ever. And isn't it ironic it's now been discontinued. :( (And yes the Alanis Morisette song "Ironic" is spinning in my head!)

Maybe I shouldn't share this as it's discontinued, but I thought maybe someone out there knows where to find the "Twenty Forever" Eau de parfum. I spoke to a lovely girl in one of the MUS stores and she said there will be new perfumes released, probably this year, but she had no idea what scents they'd bring out.

So I don't know, maybe "Twenty Forever" is gone forever? Anyone who knows? Don't be shy, tell me!! :)

Review Britney Spears Fantasy Intimate Edition

Hey, long time no see!
Since my last post I still have had major issues with my computer, that's the reason for no new posts on here. But hopefully the problem is solved now.
In my last post I promised mini reviews on some of the things I had purchased, so.. the first one out is the new Britney Spears fragrance, Fantasy Intimate Edition.

First of all, how cute is the bottle! It's the same shape as all of the other Fantasy fragrances, but this definitely the prettiest in my opinion. I mean white and rose gold!!
The scent is soo good too! When you first spray it it has a hint of the original Fantasy, but when it sets this is more creamy and vanillary (if that's even a word...?) and it's much more mature than the original scent. I think anyone can wear this, from teenager and up.
The topnotes are: litchi, violet leaf and Italian lemon. Middlenotes are: lily of the valley, jasmine, brown sugar, genet and ozone. And the basenotes are: vanilla, heliotrope, benzoin and white musk.
This fragrance is a Eau de parfum and on me it lasts all day. I have to say I think this is the best perfume she's ever done, it's THAT good!!! If you like Britney's fragrances you need this one!

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?
