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?

Empties #4

Hello, I'm back with a few more empties. Here we go..

Dove shampoo x2 "Daily moisture" and "Nourishing oil care" - I really like these, I think the Dove shampoo range is the best drugstore shampoos I've used. Super affordable so I'll keep buying these.
Dove "intensive repair" conditioner - I like it just as much as the shampoo.
Kiehl's ''Creamy eye treatment with avocado'' - I don't think I've ever used a green cream before this, but it is a really good one, very creamy as the name says. Very moisturising. Will probably repurchase later on.
Emma S "Moisturising serum" - This serum is very thin but I like that as I have oily skin. During summer I can get away with this as my only moisturiser and it's very light on the skin. Will repurchase later on.
Glam Glow "supermud mask" - Oh yes this is amazing! I bought the small size to try to see if it was worth all the hype and yes, it was. My skin felt so clean after using this and it didn't dry out either. I'm going to have to repurchase this even if it's crazy expensive.
Lancôme "Visionnaire serum" - A very creamy serum with a slight shimmer to it. You can even use it on the under eye area. Smells lovely, and I usually don't like rose scented products.
Benefit "Roller lash mascara" - I got to try this before it was released to try out and review. At the time I didn't know what mascara it was. But oh, I love it!!! Creamy formula, very black and it gave my lashes both volume and a little lenght. Stayed on all day without smudging and was easy to get off. I'd recommend it!

Nivea "Massage peeling shower" - This was a very creamy shower peeling. I liked it.
Yves Rocher "Jardins du Monde Pommegranate" shower gel - Good one.
Loréal "Eye & Lip makeup remover" - The best makeup remover I've tried. Gets everything off. Already repurchased a new one.
Dove "Go fresh deodorant" - Did what it should. Nice cucumber scent.
Body Shop "Frosted cranberry body butter" - Mini of the Christmas limited edition collection. Great formula but this wasn't one of my favourite scents though.
Body Shop "Seaweed mattifying day cream" - Very light texture and it workes great on oily skin. Might repurchase at some point.

Beauty summer sale

I managed to make some crazy bargains in the sale last week, almost everything was half the price or more.

Bliss "Micro magic" - was 50% off at Åhléns. Too good to be true! ;)
Hilfiger woman "Cheerfully pink" - smells sooo good, fruity and fresh!
Maybelline Color Show "Pink boom" - I love pink nail polish.
Lancome "Gloss in love" in #391 - instead of 285 swedish kronor as it usually cost I paid 86 kronor. Crazy! I couldn't resist..

What bargains have you got in the sale?
