I recieved two test products from Bliss in the mail a couple of days ago. I was one of 50 lucky people who got to try their two products which was nominated in the Swedish Beauty & Cosmetic Awards, "Micromagic" and "Grapefruit + aloe body butter".
Micromagic is a microdermabrasion treatment which contains skinsmoothing volcanic pumice, conditioning vitamin E and soothing aloe to help treat the appearence of dullness and surface imperfections.
I've only tried the product once so far, but I loved it. I'm guessing it's the volcanic pumice that makes it so amazing, the graines are super tiny and everywhere in the cream, nothing like a "regular" scrub. In my opinion Micromagic is worth it's name.
The Grapefruit + aloe body butter is also great. It feels so soft on the skin and doesn't leave a greasy residue that a lot of other body butters do. It's rich and moisturising but not too thick.. Amazing scent too!
I'm definitely going to purchase these products when I run out of what I have in my drawers.
Blogging mostly about makeup and beauty, but every now and then I'll include music, books, food, fashion and other bits and pieces I find fun and intresting.

Empties #2
Here's a load of stuff I used up lately... and mini reviews.
TIGI Bed Head "Urban Anti-Dotes Resurrection 3 shampoo" - The shampoo is ok, but because of the huge bottle I got sick of it when I was halfway through... And I still have half the bottle of conditioner left. Don't think I'll buy again.
FUDGE "Iced Raspberry & Vanilla hairspray" - Good hairspray with great scent. Might repurchase at some point.
Emma S "Moisturising day cream" - I use this during the colder months and it works great. But it gets to heavy and greasy on me during spring/summer.
Yves Rocher ''Jardins du Monde Macadamianut shower cream'' - I liked it, but the scent wasn't my favourite.
L'oréal ''Voluminous mascara'' - Great everyday mascara, but no extreme volume noticed on my lashes.
DJV Beautenizer ''volume lash mascara'' - Love it! Lots of volume and a bit lengthening too. Stays on all day and washes of easily with warm water.
ELF "Zit zapper'' - Yes it actually works. Glad I have backups of this as ELF isn't sold in Europe for much longer.
Clinique "Even better skin tone correcting lotion" - Only a mini sample but it got bad really quick, smelt weird. So I couldn't use it more than a few times.
Clinique ''7 day scrub cream'' - Really liked this. Gentle enough to use everyday.
Yves Rocher ''Flowerparty summer showergel'' - Liked the scent on this but the product made my skin a bit dry.
Karin Herzog ''Vita-A-Kombi 2'' - Had high hopes for this one as I got matched this would be great for my oily skin. But no, I found it did nothing and the cream was too thick for me. And the oilyness remained... Extremely expensive too so I'm not going to buy this again.
Body Shop "Olive Body butter" - I found this was a little too thick and heavy. It felt sticky on my skin. I'm not a fan of the Olive scent in the BB either, but weirdly I love the Olive shower gel scent...
Davidoff "Cool water woman Shower breeze and Moisturising lotion" - Lovely products and amazing fresh scent.
Britney Spears "Fantasy Body Souffle'' - The product is a bit sticky I feel, but I love the scent, smells just like the Fantasy perfume.

Nytt från Kicks och Max Factor
Två nyheter som har fått flytta in i min sminkväska är dels Kicks Cream Shadow Stick i färgen Burnt Sand som är en supersnygg taupe-ig färg. Jag brukar nästan aldrig lyckas få till ögonskugga snyggt och om jag mot förmodan lyckas så nog sjutton lägger den sej då i diverse ögonlocksveck. Kan ju bero på att jag haft en mindre bra primer tidigare för nu har jag provat Kicks skugga med en primer från Urban Decay och tamejtusan det sitter som berg. :D Väldigt lättjobbad dessutom, jag har suddat ut med fingrarna och det funkar jättebra. 99 kr kostar den.
Köpte även ett Colour Elixir Intensifying Balm från Max Factor som jag tror är en nyhet. Superskönt balm som ger sådär lite lagom med färg, perfekt varjedagfärg. Refined Rose nr 30 är den jag har. Kostar 95 kr på Kicks.
Fotat utan blixt.
Har du testat någon av dessa?

Amika haircare haul
Recently my hairdresser recommended the Amika Rx shampoo and the Nourishing mask for my dry and itchy scalp. I found a great price for the duo online so I thought I'd give them a go. A few days later I saw a 3 for 2 offer so I decided to also get a few styling products; the touchable hairspray, the perk up dry shampoo and also the bombshell blowout spray. I just got them so I haven't had a chance to try any of the products yet, but I can't wait to do so. Also, I love the cute and colourfull packaging.
Have you tried any products of the Amika range? Thoughts and opinions?

Empties #1
Jag har samlat på mig ett gäng tomma förpackningar, så här kommer några minirecensioner.
I've collected lots of empties, so here's a few mini reviews.
I've collected lots of empties, so here's a few mini reviews.
Redken Extreme Shampoo x2 - The best shampoo I've ever used. Makes my hair so soft and bonus points for the amazing smell. Love it!
REN Revitalizing night cream - Just a mini sample but it was a good cream.
Rexona clear pure crystal - My favourite range of deodorants, smells great and does what it's supposed to.
Estée Lauder Advanced night repair - Oh yes! This is great! Very thin formula but I felt my skin really liked this one. Too bad it's so expensive but I'll purchase a fullsize, at some point.
Lee Stafford Dry shampoo - I've had this one for ages but just recently used it up. Leaves a white cast in my hair and smells VERY much. I'm not to keen on the scent really and in my opinion there are better dry shampoos out there. Won't by again.
Lancôme Genefique yeux eyecream - I liked it even though it didn't do anything extra. But good moisturizing cream.
Lancôme Genefique yeux light pearl - Lighter texture than the one before, but this one had a cooling applicator thingy which I liked.
Lancôme Genefique youth activator - Felt good on the skin, but since it's just a mini one I couldn't really tell if it did much for my skin.
La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat - This is a ok moisturiser, however it didn't mattify my skin very well, maybe for an hour or two. I prefer the Effaclar Duo.
The Body Shop Tea Tree blemish gel - This one didn't do much for me to be honest. And it's not very much product for your money.
DJV Beautenizer Volume lash - I love this mascara! One of my favourites and I always try to have a backup of this one. It stays on all day without smudging and is easily washed of with warm water.
Fruit & Berries Pomegranate body butter - I really liked this one, not too thick body butter so it's not sticky on the skin. It's really affordable and smells great too.
Soap & Glory The righteous butter - Oh, the consistency of this product is great. However, I wasn't too keen on the scent. It didn't smell as good as I had hoped after hearing a lot of Youtubers raving about it.
Soap & Glory Clean on me shower gel - Great product, I really liked it. But once again.. the scent.
Kérastase Resistance Ciment Anti-Usure - Amazing conditioner which left my hair feeling soft and silky. Lovely scent too. Would definitely buy full size.
That's all. Sorry this was a bit long.. ;)
