This is a post i have wanted to do for a while, i just haven't got around to it. It is a very big haul and it is from a couple of months.
For one thing, i like to be able to try the things i buy before writing about them and i think i have been able to for some time now.
Here are the first things:
The first thing is a baked bronzer from the brand Famous X by Sue Moxley. I got it in shade 1 Miami. I love the packaging on this. It is really pretty with the leopard print. The color looks very light, but works pretty well with my skin color. I'm not gonna use the brush in there, because they have a tendency to be rough against the skin. I like this bronzer. It looks great on my face and it is a full size product. The estimated price of this is 80 Danish kr, which seems good for this size of product.
The next thing is the Fashionista Secret Gel Liner 24/7 Style. It doesn't have a name but it has a brown/bronze color. The packaging is really smart. You get a brush in the top of the lid and you get quite a lot of product in this one. I like the brush and i like the consistency of the product, but not really the color. Maybe i just need to play with this a little bit more before i say more about it. The price is estimated to be 70 Danish kr which also seems fair for this product.
This is the Makeup Academy Trio Lipgloss in the color Temptress. I do not care for this kind of packaging. It came with a sponge applicator which doesn't really work for this. The colors are nice and i would totally rock these colors. I just wished that i had gotten one full size lipstick instead of three small colors, but the different colors are nice and can be used. They have a good pigmentation to them and this trio was estimated to be 40 Dk kr which is so cheap and i very good price for three lip colors even if it is small amount of the different colors.
This is the Look Beauty Cheeky Trio in Candy floss. This has a highlighter, a blush and a bronzer. The pigmentation of the bronzer is not that high but is shows up as a subtle bronzer which probably is what it should. The blush has a nice color but not a lot of pigmentation, i need a good amount of product before getting the payoff i want. The highlighter is amazing. It has the right amount of shimmer and the right color. This was estimated to 90 Danish kr which is fair for three big sized products.
The last thing is this beautiful eyeshadow. I fell in love with the color as soon as i saw it. It is the Look Beauty Statement Eyes in shade 18 Luxe. This is the most beautiful bronze glitter eyeshadow i have ever seen. It has a great feeling on the skin and a good color payoff. The only thing is, it has quite some fallout. So if you want to use this for a night out and don't want glitter all over, you would need to do your eyes first and then your face. Not a big problem there though. This was estimated to be 40 Danish kr which again is really cheap for makeup. You can not get a lot for 40 kr in a makeup store!
All in all, a very good box with five full size products. I pay 139 Danish kr for this and the value was 320 kr. Amazing and definitely a hit for me! This made me very exited for the next box, which dropped in only a couple of days later because i was lucky to get the October box. Now to the November box.
The November box was the essential beauty items from this fall.
I just love the look of these boxes. They are so classic and cute. This was the first look of and into the box.
The first product i already had. This is a nail polish remover sponge from the drugstore. Really a smart idea and i am gonna use this when i am done with the other one. The only thing i don't like is that you get nail polish remover all over your fingers. This can be washed right off, it just bugs me a bit.
The prize of this is 50 Danish kr
The next thing is an eyeshadow quattro from Gosh called Bohemian Gypsy. The colors has a nice neutral shades in the darker end of the scale. On the swatch under here, you can see that they all have some shimmer to them but i don't complain. Shimmer colors are always easier to work with and i have some colors that could work with these to make a great look.
In the quattro we have a brown, a blueish gray, a dusty rose and a redish bronze. These colors are really pretty and good for fall and darker looks. The prize of this is 130 Danish kr. I am not surprised of this prize. Gosh has quality products for a bit more and i don't complain.
This is the Appeal 4 nail polish in Lavender Daffodil, a nice creamy lavender color. On my nail, i have two coats and it covers really good. This color for me, doesn't say fall, but spring. This is a pastel, but i will get some use out of this. The prize of this is 79 Danish kr, a pretty normal prize for a nail polish this size.
The next product was a sample. Of course they can't give you an entire bottle of perfume. This is the Flora Fruity by Gucci. This particular one is the Gorgeous Gardenia and i like it. It has flowery notes as well as fruity notes and it is pretty much the smell i normally get drawn to. Not to sweet, but sweet enough. A full size is 455 Danish kr.
The last thing is another Gosh product. This is a Cheek'n Lips Cream product in the color Earth Bound. It has quite a dark color both on the cheeks and the lips and i haven't really figured out how this should work on the cheeks. I'm afraid of rubbing off any foundation, concealer or powder underneath. It will probably be great for a day where you want a natural look and not have that much makeup on. The prize of this is 90 Danish kr.
I bought a matching hat and scarf which is so soft and lovely! I really enjoy them in these cold winter and fall months.
Then i bought a pair of Nike TR Fit 3. I chose these because i have had my eyes on these for some time now, they were just sold out all over the internet. So when i found them in a sports shop in Næstved i just had to have them. They were quite expensive, but i don't think i have had a more comfortable pair of shoes and i will definitely get a lot of use out of these.
Then i bought a pair of sunglasses. You might be thinking: "Why the hell buy sunglasses in October?" and my answer would be: Well, the weather can still be sunny and you can still be in need of a pair of sunglasses. I bought some not that long ago, which broke before i went on vacation this summer, so i bought a new pair on Langeland. They weren't really that good quality, and they broke as well. So in the airport i bought a new pair of sunglasses in H&M and they got really scratched up somehow. This is why i bought a new pair. Also, they were only 20 kr so it wasn't like i got broke buying them. The concealer was not my favorite. It can be used and i am going to, but it doesn't really give much coverage. The mascara is amazing! I absolutely love it! I now understand why every big youtube makeup guru has the covergirl version! The last thing is an oil for my nails. My nail are very soft so i'm trying to give them a lot of good stuff so they can grow stronger. I really like this oil. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin and cuticle.
The next thing is this. Do you remember the "My beauty box" which wasn't really a success? Well, i wanted to try another kind, so i did. This one is called Goodiebox and i have gotten 2 for now and there is a 3rd on the post office i can collect. This is another danish box but it has both danish and American/British makeup brands. This one also claims to be fitted to your looks and preferences. When you make the order on the website, you have to write your hair color, skin color, if you like colors of naturals, skintype and so on. You also did this with the other box but it was often a bad match. This one seems to have got that point down. Everything i have gotten seems to match me really well! The first box i got was called "The Brit Box" which had a selection of British drugstore brands and products.
Here is a look of the box and what i saw when i opened it.
The first thing is a baked bronzer from the brand Famous X by Sue Moxley. I got it in shade 1 Miami. I love the packaging on this. It is really pretty with the leopard print.

Another sample. I am happy that this is a little tube and not a foil packet. This matches my skin color, but i haven't had a chance to try it out on my face. This is the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation in Ivory. A full size is 70 Danish kr which is good for a foundation. I decide if i'm going to buy this foundation when i have tried it out.
The last thing is another Gosh product. This is a Cheek'n Lips Cream product in the color Earth Bound.

Once again the box was a hit for me! There is really only one product i am not that into, but who knows? maybe it will win me over at one point. The prize of the entire box was again 139 kr and the value is 349 kr without the samples. That is a good value and i like these boxes. I can't wait for the next one!!
