Empties - Semptember 2013!

Hello guys!

Here are my empties from the month of Semptember! Really happy to see so many things here! I have a few other bits too that's soooo close to being finished, one of them being a foundation which is really exciting as I rarely finish of foundations!

In these posts I'll do a short review of the products and tell you whether I'd repurchase or not.

Anyway, let's dig in hah!

Here are all the things I've used up! Quite alot eh?

Rexona Clear Aqua Deo

I love this! I don't know why I didn't use Stick Deos before! They're so much more comfortable than a roll-on, and you don't have to wait for it to dry. I will definetly repurchase!

Define Protein Repair Conditioner

This was good, but it's a little expensive. This is about 50NOK for 250ml. The only reason I have this is because my mum got a coupon for a free bottle in the mail hah! I would repurchase if it wasn't so expensive.

PureCare Conditioner

Didn't like this. I had to use soooo much product to get any effect or soft feel to my hair. Will not repurchase this.

Wackra Facial Toner with Perfume

I used this before I went to bed, and when I woke up my face felt oily and gross. The smell is a little strong as well. I probably won't repurchase this either, maybe if I find the version with no scent.

Sensations Exfoliante Gel de Ducha (Exfoliating showergel)

I got this in Gran Ganaria to exfoliate my shoulders after I got a massive sunburn, and for my arms it worked fine, it was gentle enough to scrub sunburnt skin without hurting. When I got home and tried it on my legs it wasn't rough enough. I don't think I'll repurchase this, but it's not avaliable in Norway anyway.

Flux Mouthwash 0.2 NaF

This is what my dentist told me to use, so I guess I don't have a choice but to repurchase, hah! It's fine, and I like the squeeze-mechanism on the bottle.

Pepsodent White Now Cool Mint Toothpaste

Really like this one! Didn't taste much of a difference between this and the original, but I'd repurchase both.

OceanPotion Protective Spray Gel Oil Free SPF 15

Loved this! The continous spray of the product made it so easy to apply and reapply during the day! Really like this and these types of sunscreens in general. Would repurchase!

Sensations Toallitas Desmaquillantes (Makeup Remover Wipes)

They work fine, but they smell so strong! Won't repurchase for that reason.

Gunry Avsminkingsservietter (Makeup Remover Wipes)

These are cheap and they work fine with no strong smell, so I think I will repurchase these next time I go to Sweden!

Soft Styles Bomullspads (cottom pads)

Definelty will repurchase.

Comodynes Convenient Cosmetics Easy Peeling New Face Effect

I think these are way to rough for my face, so I use them on my legs instead, which they work fine for, but I will not repurchase these.

ELF Eyelid Primer - Sheer

Love this stuff! I've probably finished 3 or 4 tubes, and I will get it again and again and again!

Carmex Lipbalm

This was great too, the only thing I didn't like was the pot. It's so unsanitary.

L'oreal Resist & Shine Titanium Nailpolish - 735

This is so pretty! It's a black with gold shimmer in it. If I find it for a reasonable price I'll buy it again for sure!

Eucerin Complete Repair Intensive Lotion

This was very good, and the bottle of 30ml lasted for a surprisingly long time! But it's very expensive so I won't buy it as I don't have dry skin.

H&M Nailpolish - Red

This was really good! It was my go-to red nailpolish,a nd it came in a set, so I probably wont get ahold of it again. But H&M polishes are very good anyways, so I might pick up another red from them once I've used up a few of the ones I have already!

H&M Permanent Hair Color - 7/45 Copper Red

This is great! It smelled really strong, but I love the color and I have a back-up! As long as I want my red hair I'll get this!

That's it you guys! 18 items, I don't think that's too bad! And I can't wait to go out with the trash now, I just love it when I can throw empty items out, haha!

Do you like Empties-posts?

My Sweden-Haulage!

yeahs, I went to Sweden with my brother today, and even though he was nagging me to leave, I still managed to purchase some stuff. The trip from me is 2.5-3 hours one way, so it takes a while, but the savings are massive, at least for me with my beauty-girl habits, haha!

I decided I wanted to show you what I bought, so here it is!

This clock I was drooling over the last time I went to Charlottenberg as well, but it was quite expensive at 498SEK. When I was there now it was half price, so I decided I had to get it.

It is a superpretty chuncky rosegold watch, and I fell in love! It also came with the little bracelet to the left.

I also bought these three facewashes. To the left is Garnier Nordic Essentials Face Wah, then the Face: UK Facial Wash and Clearasil Daily Clear Daily Gel Wash. I have tried one of the other Clearasil face-washes, but I wasn't really a fan of it. I figured this would maybe be better, and I like the fact that you can see through and tell how much product is left.

These are three of the bodylotions I got. I'm working on my next-to-last lotion, so I decided I'd have to pick up some more. I got the three scents avaliable in Cotton Breeze, Mango Mandarin and Calm Aloe Vera. They all smell very nice, but I'd say Cotton Breeze is the one to choose if you like wearing different perfumes all the time as it doesn't smell any more than fresh.

I got three more, one in Coconut (I love the smell of coconut!), a Cocoa Butter Cream Lotion and a Aloe Vera Body Lotion. The last one mentioned smells ALOT!

I also got a couple of hair-treatments. To the left is Garnier Respons for very dry hair, and then there's Syoss, which is a brand under schwarzkopf, and it's the Smooth-one with 24H anti-frizz effects.

I also got a face lotion, and this is by Gunry. It's with olives, and it's just a regular daycream. To the right is Gunry's Makeup Remover Wipes, which claims to remove waterproof makeup, as well as contain a cleanser, toner and lotion for a one-step-makeup removal.

I had to pick up a few makeup items so I got these powders from Kubiss which is an English brand. They had four different colors, and I decided to get them all as they were cheap, and I'm close to hitting pan on my last pressed powder!

Here's the names if you can tell.

No1 - Translucent

No2 - Candle

No3 - Sweet Touch

No4 - Dreamland

I tried the shade Translucent on my face and it seemed okay, it wasn't powdery, and it looked like it mattifyed my face. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the fact that you take the entire lid off, like with the powders from Rimmel, e.g. Stay Matte. Some of the lids are also very hard to get off, so I can imagine myself dropping these noumerous times.

Last thing I got was this Lingonberry Lip Laquer from Lumene. It's in the shade 4, and it's a really pretty red color. I've used it twice already, and the color-payoff is great! It's really pigmented, and it doesn't really dry down. It's a little sticky, but not so much that it's annoying.

Here you can see the color. That's what it looks like on the lips, guys!

I also picked up some candy, Loka and Ramlösa, some soda and some meat, but I decided to show my gum as a metafor for all of that, haha! One thing I was excited to try are the "Loka Likes Old-School"-tastes of water. There were three avaliable in "Lemon Pie", "Strawberry Ice Cream" and "Chocolate Shake". The Lemon Pie-flavour was intersting. I really liked it, but my hubby didn't. I want wait to taste the chocolate-flavoured one. Can you imagine Chocolate-water being any good? Nope, me neither...

Anyways, that was what I had today, so I will see you again soon =) 

Thank you so much for reading, and remember to follow my blog as well to keep up to date with new posts!

Just A Beauty Tag!

I got this tag from http://thethoughtsbasket.blogspot.no, and if you want to read hers, click HERE ! 

MAKEUP

Blush or bronzer? I seriously have no idea. I usually don't wear either. But because my cheeks usually are pretty pigmented and rosy, especially in the winter, I think I'll go with bronzer, or a warm-toned blush!

Lip gloss or lipstick? I do like lipstick for that super in-your-face color, and I don't really like lipgloss that much anymore, it's just a little too sticky, so I think I'll definetly go with lipstick.

Eye liner or mascara? Mascara, definetly! I wouldn't walk around with eyeliner and close to no-show eyelashes...

Foundation or concealer? Uhm, neither? Maybe foundation if I'm going to use one though. I usually use tinted moisturizer, but I guess it goes under one. A foundation can be applied in several layers if you want more coverage on a certain area of your face.

Neutral or color eye shadow? I usually go for natural shades for everyday if I'm wearing eyeshadow. It's just so easy to work with.

Pressed or loose eye shadows? I don't really own that many loose eyeshadows, so even though I like them too, I'm going with pressed. They're just a little easier to work with.

Brushes or sponges? Brushes all the way!

NAILS

Long or short? Short. I'm a nailbiter, it's horrible. It is a little on and of though. But for me short nails are pretty long too, if they reach my fingertips, I'm more than happy. I do prefer the look of long nails, but mine are - unfortunatly - short.

Acrylic or natural? Natural nails. My last blogpost was on a set of false nails, and by the end of the day they were off. Definetly a no-go.

Brights or darks? Both? Is that a valid answer?

Flower or no flower? No flower? I guess this thing has to do with manicure, but if I do anything fancy I place a nail-sticker on there. Easy and pretty!

BODY

Perfume or body splash? Perfume. It lasts so much longer than body splash/spray!

Lotion or body butter? I do use both, but I usually use lotion because it absobs into the skin quicker.

Body wash or soap? Liquid body wash.

FASHION

Jeans or sweat pants? Sweat pants are really comfortable, but jeans look way nicer, so I'm on jeans!

Long sleeve or short? Short sleeve. Long sleeves freak me out a little bit for some reason!

Dresses or skirts? Dresses, definetly! It's so simple just to throw on and look gorgeous with no effort!

Stripes or plaid? Plaid, I've never been particularly fond of stripes..

Flip flops or sandals? Flip Flops on the beach, sandals... never? I usually go for sneakers, ballerinas or high heels..

Scarves or hats? Scarves in the winter. Norway is so cold!

Studs or dangly earrings? Both. Really depends on the occation, but for everyday I usually wear studs.

Necklaces or bracelets? Necklaces. I have one necklace I use every single day, and I have been since Christmas of 2008 when I got it from my boyfriend. Haven't left my neck since!

Heels or flats? I <3 both! Heels just look smashing!

Cowboy boots or riding boots? neither...

Jacket or hoodie? Does a zipped hoodie go under jacket? Or is jacket outer-wear like a trench-coat?

HAIR

Curly or straight? I'm kind of in the middle. I do like the look of both super straight and really curly hair, but mine is a little straight and a little of a light curl.

Bun or ponytail? A high bun for work and school, it's a little easier just to throw up there. Ponytails look a bit nicer, so if I have to wear my hair up for an event I usually do a ponytail.

Bobby pins or butterfly clips? Bobby pins...

Hair spray or gel? The few times a year I have to use any of the mentioned I'll use hairspray.. Gel just looks greasy in my hair..

Long or short? Long hair :)

Light or dark? I have light-ish hair. It's a light brown, and I'm quite comfortable with it now, even though it would be fun to have super-bright hair some time too!

Side sweep bangs or full bangs? I have had both, but as off now I perfer side swept bangs. Full bangs are so warm!

Up or down? Half'n'half, haha

RANDOM

Rain or shine? Sunshine! Who would pick rain anyways?

Summer or winter? Summer! I'd much rather be to warm in +25 (the few times Norway has that kind of high temperature than be super cold at a -25-30 degrees which happends every winter here!)

Fall or spring? Spring! I love seeing the flowers blooming and the birds singing!

Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate! I'm a choco-holic!

15 Weird Facts

What's a weird habit of yours? Uhm... I don't really thing I have any super-wierd habits? I talk very much and very quickly, but I don't think that's too wierd? Except when my step-mom doesn't understand what I'm saying because I talk to fast, haha!
