Damn it!

I thought i finally had caught up to my reviews of my Goodie Boxes, apparently i was wrong..
The company decided to send them out within weeks of each other and before i had tried all the products in the November box, i got the December box. Now i have tried all of the things out and am ready to review those two boxes.




This one is called Christmas and comes in a pretty red box. On their little note of products they have a little teaser of what you get. I'm not really sure which ones are from what months, but i guess this is Novembers, so you can be ready for the Christmas month?

The first thing i saw was this little tube of Decubal body cream. A full size costs 69,95 kr which is a good price for a lotion, but i am not sure of the size you get. The thing with this sample was, it only has a little drop of lotion in there. I don't know where the rest went but i could only get that one drop out. Because of the small amount of product, it was really hard to test it. The lotion was light, not sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin, but there was not enough product to make a good opinion about it.




The next thing was two perfume samples. One for women and one for men. Maybe a good Christmas gift for the significant other? A full size of the Gucci Premiere (women) is 525 kr and a full size of Gucci Made To Measure is 410 kr. I smelled both of them and really liked them. If or when i get a special someone, if i don't get tired of the scent and if it is not discontinued i will definitively buy this one for him. The scent of this one, for me is the scent of a man. And it is so good!! The Gucci Premiere is one i have fallen in love with some time ago with another sample. They are really good and really classic scents, in my opinion.



The next is a lipstick from the brand Teeez Trend Cosmetics. My color was a deep, earthy red and it is called Rumor Club. I'm not really liking the color. Too earthy for me. It has a nice feel on the lips. This is a full size product and it is 149 kr. not a cheap lipstick, and you can feel it when you are wearing it. Not for me though. Maybe if it had been another color.


This is a sample of the Eucerin cleansing fluid. A full size is 104,95 kr. Eucerin a good brand and i really liked this. It got rid of every bit of make up, cleaned my face and toned it in one swipe. It is great! It is a clear fluid, which is kinda like water and it has no scent to it. 


This is a face mask from Amie. It is a full size product and costs about 99 kr. This is a deep cleansing mask with peppermint, white clay and lime butter. It has a tingly feel on the skin and it has a minty color. This feels so good on the skin. the tingly feeling and the scent of peppermint is something i really like. I've used it a couple of times and my skin feels really good afterwards.


The next thing was an Argan oil from Dr. Scheller. It is a full size and costs 119,95 kr. I did not like this. It was very thick and i had a horrible smell. It was lemony and i do not like it. It was thick and sticky on my skin. So uncomfortable. It was definitely a miss!


This was a product i looked forward to trying. I have really fine hair that has difficulty doing anything other than hanging down my face. This is a tester or travel size and a full size is 59,95 kr, which is not that bad. Maybe i used it wrong or else it just didn't do it for me. It gave me no volume what so ever..






The last thing was this candy. A normal jar of these is 79 kr. This is white chocolate with gold dust on the outside and on the inside there was a cube of licorice. No.. Just no.. I don't like chocolate and licorice and i don't like white chocolate..



That was all. It was pretty much a miss for me this time around. This box was worth 368 kr without the samples. Not that happy about this one, but there was some winners in this box!




 Here's my first look into the Statement box. This should be the one for New Yeas and give you all kinds of things you could use on the night.


First thing i grabbed was the false lashes. I love false lashes, i just don't get to use them that often. I feel like the are weird on my eyes and these seem really dramatic. I want to try them. Maybe i need to trim them? No, i did not wear these, because i didn't want to run around having to fix the lashes and i do really have good lashes anyways, so it is not like i need them. They look pretty though! These cost 69 kr




The next thing was this nail polish from Appeal4. The color is called Black Lily and it looks amazing. It is a black polish with green specs of glitter and i did wear this on new years. The polish held up pretty well on my nails and longer than most polishes i own. Before new years i tried Gellack or Shellack in a french design and i will write a post on it later. This is really beautiful! This is 79 kr, which isn't really expensive for a nail polish.




This is an eyeshadow from Gosh in the color Black. It is a black with silver glitters in it. It can be used both wet and dry and i have only tried it dry. When it is dry, you can't really see the glitter, so maybe i should have tried it wet? It costs 59,95 kr and it's an okay prize.




Next, we have a lip gloss, also from Gosh. This is in a purple color and has the number 102, but no name. As you can see it was one of those light up glosses with a mirror on the side. The color was fine on my lips, but i felt like it was very sticky. Not that pleasant to have on the lips. This is 89,95 kr and i would not buy one in another color because of the consistency.


This is Derma Eco's cleansing wipes. They contain to perfume and are allergy tested. My problem with this is, it does not remove make up. I think it is supposed to work like a toner-like wipe, because it does not remove anything without an excessive amount of rubbing on the face and eyes. These are 49,95 and for that prize i could get my beloved Garnier wipes, which i would much rather buy.




I found this thing kinda weird to put in a box of beauty items, but i guess a fresh breath is a beauty accessory? These are Tic Tacs and have strawberry flavor and the lighter ones are sweet while the darker ones are sour. At the first try i didn't really like them. Now, i think they are okay, but they do not work like a gum or normal Tic Tac does. I would rather have a minty breath than a strawberry one. They are 16,95 kr.


The last thing is this perfume sample from Salvador Dalí called "Dalí Wild". This has jasmine, magnolia, mahogany and citrus fruits and this was just not for me. I don't know what is is about it, the scent was just not one i liked that much. It is light and feminine though. A full size of this costs 255 kr, which is pretty cheap for a perfume.


This box had a value of 365 kr without the sample and that is pretty good. Sadly there was a few duds. I liked this better than the Christmas box though! I look forward to my next box to see what they have come up with now!

Christmas, Hauls and Blabber

I know that i haven't been as active as i could have been during the Christmas period. It it pretty much a natural reason, around Christmas, you spend time with family and friends and you don't sit on the computer all the time. Yes, i could just blog from my phone, but i didn't feel like i had anything to tell really.. :) Also, my computers have been broken so it was kinda hard to blog.

This Christmas we were only 5 people. Normally we're about 7-9 people because we invite my grandparents, but they all had different Christmases to go to. We had a lovely dinner! I love the Christmas food, because it is just so good and you only get it rarely so i had a feast! After that we played a game and then there was dessert, where i won a present! Afterwards we sat in the sofa and started unwrapping gifts.


We unwrapped presents for some time and then we watched a movie together before going to bed :) This is what i got for Christmas:

On the picture is: a sleeping bag, sports bra, Lady gaga perfume, Drive, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, a bead for my Pandora bracelet, a bracelet, 1000 kr for Langeland Festivalen next year, a nail polish, lip balm, facial masque, pain killers (Don't ask), samples, a cardigan (not on the picture) and a homemade jewelery holder (not on the picture)

Today i did a little bit of shopping and i just felt like showing you guys what i got. I don't really know why, but maybe some of you would like to know.


I got a hair doughnut, for making hair buns, iGloves, hair pins, concealer, two mascaras, some liquorice and a bun maker. The hair doughnut is something i've had great success with. It works great and i love the hairstyles you can get. The other bun maker was probably a mistake, because i do not know how to use it and it just looks weird.. Maybe i just need to learn how to use it before knowing if it's good or not. Hair pins is always good and i suggest getting ones that is close to your hair color so they aren't so visible. iGloves, gloves for a smartphone - no explanation needed and they work. A new concealer, because i was running out. Two new mascaras, one was free and i wanted to try them both so i got them. They are really good, i can't decide which one is better actually. The liquorice is just some sweet finish liquorice which tasted really good!


This might have been a lot of blabber to you and if so, i'm sorry, but here is a bit more!
Why is it that you miss a person a lot right after you've seen them? If there is someone you haven't seen for sometime, and then you see each other, i always feel like the the days right after is the hardest to get over. This is just how i feel, but the days right after seeing each other, you just feel like there was many more things to do with the person than what you did with them. If it's a person i really like, i feel like i didn't have enough time with them and i know that it sounds weird and sure i can get enough of certain people, but if i really care about that person, i just need more time to be with them. It's hard to explain and i hope it doesn't sound too weird. You probably know the feeling yourselves. But then after a certain amount of time with missing a person, you kinda forget how they make you feel and the missing disappears more and more.. And even though you know, that you'll see each other in a few days, it's always the days right after that are the hardest to get through.. 
Don't judge, it is just some feelings i needed to get out. This is really what my blog was for.


Tomorrow i am going to the movies with Mette, Mikkel and Schmidt. We're watching the Hobbit and i am looking forward to it! I think we are going out to eat together afterwards but i'm not entirely sure :)

New Years is only a couple of days away and i know that dress i'm going to wear, but the shoes, make up and hair is still a mystery.. It it going to be red, black or nude heels? Is the make up going to be dark, dramatic, light, natural, glittery or matte? Is the hair going to be an updo, half updo or loose? Is it going to be straight, curly, wavy or texturized? I do not know yet and i need to find out quickly.. HELP ME!
