GLOSSYBOX: JULY 2015

The July GLOSSYBOX is designed by the very talented Jamie Lee Reardin and it's inspired by classic locations in France. The July box has a french theme, Vive La France and it's a collaboration with the very popular and well-known brand L'Oreal Paris. The box contains 5 beauty products, a sample and a super cute makeup bag.

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Nail Polish in Cliche Mania, (HERE). 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in Red Passion, (HERE). 

I couldn't be more happier with the July GLOSSYBOX! I'm a big fan of L'Oreal Paris, they have so many wonderful products in their range. Cliche Mania is a gorgeous purple nail polish. I'm so excited to paint my nails with it, it's such a stunning color for Autumn. I think it's going to be the next color that I paint my nails with, will make sure do a Nails Of The Day post on it once I do my nails. I'm a huge fan of the Color Riche Lipsticks from L'Oreal Paris, one of my favorite lipsticks of all-time is called Fairest Nude and it's from this range. This is their Color Riche Lipstick in Red Passion and it's a beautiful, shimmery red. I hardly ever wear red lips, but I'm actually excited to try out this color. What do you guys think about the color? Would you wear it? 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Nutri Gold Extraordinary Oil Face, (HERE). 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper in Medium/Dark, (HERE).

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray, (HERE). 

I have been a little obsessed with face oils lately, so I'm super excited to try out the Nutri Gold Extraordinary Oil. My skin always feel so soft and hydrated after I have used oils on my face, so I can't wait to give this a go and see how I like it. I have already tested out the Brow Artist Plumper and I really like it. I bought it a while ago and I just love how natural it looks on the brows. This one is in Medium/Dark, which I think is going to look too dark on me, so I'm either going to give it to my mom or throw it into my giveaway bin. 

The Elnett Satin Hairspray has been a big favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I like to use it on my hair after I have curled it, it makes my curls last longer and it doesn't make them all crunchy and stiff.

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Evital Extraordinary Oil Nourishing Balm Treatment, (HERE).

♥ GLOSSYBOX Makeup Bag. 

How cute is this makeup bag? I really like it, the design is adorable. The bag is quite large and deep, so it can hold a decent amount of things. It's perfect to take on vacation or for keeping in your handbag as a daily makeup bag. Bags like this is also great for keeping track of smaller things that you don't want to ''lose'' inside your handbag. If you love to carry big bags like myself, you know what I mean. I'm always digging around in my bag, trying to find my keys, phone, lipstick etc, so keeping everything organized in bags like this make things a lot easier! :-)

What did you get in your July GLOSSYBOX? Are you happy with eveything that you got in your box? :-) 

Love, Christine ♥

I have been wanting to do this post for a while now, so I'm glad that it's finally up and running. As always, be sure to let me know if there are any products here that you would like me to do a review on. I'm already planning on doing a review on the Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette as well as the Soar lip liner and Brave lipstick from MAC Cosmetics. But I still want to know what you guys are interested in seeing a review on, because I love getting feedback from you. You guys are the best and I love you all so much! :-)

GLOSSYBOX: JANUARY 2015

My January GLOSSYBOX arrived on Wednesday last week and I couldn't be more happy with it! Like I mentioned in my previous GLOSSYBOX post (Christmas Limited Edition Box), I just started subscribing to them again after taking a rather long break. I have been quite happy with the three boxes that I have received so far and I'm hoping that they will keep getting better and better each month.

Let's take a closer look at the items inside the January GLOSSYBOX! :-)

 ♥ GLOSSYBOX: January 2015. 

♥ GLOSSYBOX: January 2015. 

♥ Make Up Store Microshadow in Ruby, (HERE). 

♥ Absolute New York Garlic Nail Treatment, (HERE). 

♥ Royal Apothic Tinties Lip Butter in Pink, (HERE). 

♥ Sanex Dermo Sensitiv Deo Roll-On, (HERE). 

♥ L'Oreal Paris Men Expert Hydra Energetic Daily Moisturizer, (HERE).

♥ Plackers Twin, (HERE). 

There were quite a few exciting products in the January GLOSSYBOX. I'm so happy that they included a Microshadow from Make Up Store, because they are fantastic and quite affordable as well. I also got another Lip Butter from Royal Apothic, which I'm super excited about. I received their berry shade in the GLOSSYBOX Christmas Limited Edition Box and it's beautiful. This one is in the shade Pink and it looks gorgeous!

The Absolute New York Garlic Nail Treatment is another exciting product in the January GLOSSYBOX. My nails haven't been in the best shape lately, so I'm hoping that this is going to help them grow and become stronger. It definitely sounds like a promising nail product, so I can't wait to try it out and see what I think about it. I'm going to give it a go tonight, I will let you guys know my thoughts on it. Let me know if you would like to see a review on it! :-) 

I also got a set of 10 flossers by the brand Plackers, which are always very useful. I'm going to throw them in my handbag, never know when they might come in handy. I also got a little sample of the L'Oreal Paris Men Expert Hydra Energetic Daily Moisturizer, which I'm giving away to Simon! :-)

Are you subscribed to GLOSSYBOX? What did you receive in you're January box? :-)

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche in Fairest Nude: Review, Photos & Swatches

Hey Dolls :) 

Today's post is going to be all about my favorite nude lipstick, Fairest Nude by L'Oreal Paris. I completely fell in love with Fairest Nude after seeing the lovely Sonia from Sccastaneda on youtube feature it in one off her video's years ago. I just knew it in my heart that it had to be mine, so after her video had finished, I went on Ebay and bought one for myself. It's definitely one of the best purchases I have made :) 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche in Fairest Nude.

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche in Fairest Nude.

Fairest Nude is a beautiful pinky nude lipstick that is more on the darker side compared to other nude lipsticks such as Myth by MAC. Because Fairest Nude is a little on the darker side, it makes it much more wearable and it's a color that will look good on different skin tones as well.

The texture and formula of this product is really good. Fairest Nude has ingredients such as omega 3, Vitamin E and argan oil which is really good for your lips. It's a really pigmented, creamy and moisturizing lipstick and It does last a while on the lips before you have to re-apply it again. The packaging is cute as well. Its very simple yet elegant and pretty at the same time :) 

 ♥ Colour Riche in Fairest Nude.

If you are on the hunt for a good, affordable and wearable nude lipstick, give this one a try because you might end up loving it as much as I do :)

Rating: 5/5 

 

Where to buy? 

You can find Fairest Nude in stores where L'Oreal Paris is being sold and also on Ebay. Here is a link to a seller on Ebay you can buy it from :)

Do you have a favorite lipstick? If yes, which one? :) Thanks for looking :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Ebay Goodies: Zoya True Collection, Mally Beauty, Korres, Shiseido & L'Oreal Paris

Im completely obsessed with Ebay! I love that I can find almost everything Im looking for and the products are usually cheaper than what they are in the stores! In Norway, beauty related products (skin care, makeup, etc) are expensive compared to Ebay so I prefer buying them online, it saves me time and money which is just perfect.

I love to cuddle up in a warm blanket with a hot cup of chocolate and do my shopping. Its much more relaxing and it definitely beats a stressful day at the mall :) I did order a few of these items a while back but since I haven't shared them with you, I decided to include them in this post as well :)


♥ Bevin & Skylar.

Bevin and Skylar is a part of Zoya's True Collection which just recently came out. These are the only two shades from the True Collection that was unique and special to me. Both shades are beautiful so Im really looking forward to trying them out :) You can find Bevin here and Skylar here.






♥ Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection Enriched & Night Moisture Recharge Enriched.

A few weeks ago I got samples of these products to try out and I absolutely loved them so I decided to pick up the full size products. Im still waiting for the Cleansing Foam from the same line, hopefully it will arrive soon :) You can find the Day Moisture Protection Enriched here and the Night Moisture Recharge Enriched here.




♥ Korres Silicone Free Face Primer.

This is one of the best face primers that I have tried, its silicone free which I absolutely love and it smells really good. It feels really nice on the skin, just like a moisturizer :)


♥ Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara.

I have heard so many good things about this Volumizing Mascara from Mally Beauty. I definitely have high hopes for this product! :) You can find Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara here.


♥ L'Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Lipstick in Mulberry.

I absolutely love this Infallible Never Fail Lipstick by L'Oreal Paris. Finally a lipstick that lasts on the lips for hours. You also get a lipbalm to keep your lips moisturized, without it the lips are going to feel dry and looked chapped. Definitely check these out if you are looking for a lipstick thats going to last you for hours :)

Have you tried any of these products before? Have you bought anything from Ebay lately? :)
Xoxo, Christine♥
