The Body Shop Gel Eyeliner

One of the nominations at the Swedish Beauty & Cosmetics Awards was The Body Shops Gel Eyeliner, and since we got it in the goodie bag, I have now tested it and thought of giving my review! :)

"Smoky 2 in 1 Gel Liner - eyes and brows" it says on it and should therefore work both as eyeliner and to fill in the eyebrows, but I only have the black shade so can not comment on how it works on the eyebrows.

The fun and smart thing about this gel eyeliner is that you can remove the top of the long shaft and then there is a small brush in there, and you can either use it as it is (short shaft) or attach it to the cork again fixed in the other direction so the whole lid becomes like a long shaft :)

Often when there are included brushes, they are usually not that good, but I actually like this one! It is very, very flat so it works super well even if you want to make thin lines. It feels practical to be able to put the used brush back so that it does not lie and smudge in the make-up bag.

This is what the little brush looks like :)

The eyeliner itself I like very much too, incredibly good! It glides easily on the eyelid and becomes sharp and carbon black, super easy to apply and get even. In addition, the durability is very good.

The only negative is that it does not dry immediately, but once it has dried, the durability is no matter how good, rub-proof and sits as it should all day :)

Costs SEK 135 and is available for purchase HERE!

Summary - A carbon black and easily applied eyeliner with really good durability! However, not ideal for you with a lot of skin folds and sagging eyes, as it easily smudges before it dries.

Any of you who have tested this? :)

We are testing the # car inspection again

4

As you remember, it did not go so badly when I was to inspect my sister's car a few weeks ago. I wrote in the morning ”wish me luck, so I do not have to take the bus home”And that was exactly what I got to do haha.

Now I'm going to go for a re-inspection and sent exactly this picture to Mia on snapchat:

Snapchat - 7557659318430605924

I refuse to take the bus home so I may flirt out of any driving ban situations with him who inspects the car for me;)

Jokes aside, wish me luck for real this time. For my monthly bus card has just expired and this is also asking questions.

Kraaaaaaam! ♥

New Konjac Sponge Mushrooms!

Super fun that you like the spa sponges from Konjac Sponge so much!

I was a bit "worried" as you have to buy quite a lot at once and did not want to stand with the worst stock if they would not go as well as I thought, but it was absolutely no problem! It did not take long before all the face sponges were sold out, and I have received several questions after that about when they will come in again, super fun :)

And I can say that if for some reason I had to stop selling Konjac Sponge, I would still shop privately for myself, I'm addicted! Best start to the day - massage the face with a warm spa sponge, the skin becomes so clean and soft, especially when you have used it regularly for a long time. Love! ♥

Now I have refilled the two sold out mushrooms I had before, and received two news!

The facial sponges are now available for four different skin types (the sponges are the same except that they contain different clays that have different properties), the different skin types are for sensitive / dry skin, mature skin, mixed skin (oily T-zone otherwise normal or sensitive) and oily / acne prone hy.

I have used it for oily and acne-prone skin until now, but will start with it with green clay for mixed skin and see what my skin thinks about it :) I am incredibly oily in the skin, but do not have much acne and also my skin is very sensitive. So think that the green one might actually fit better!

Here are all four mushrooms currently available:

konjac-facial-green

Konjac Facial Sponge - Green Clay, ideal for combination skin with oily T-zone.

Its spasm fungus contains green clay which is one of nature's strongest antiseptics (bactericidal). It also has absorbed properties that extract impurities and excess oil from the pores.

The sponge deeply cleanses the skin, has an astringent effect on the pores and neutralizes the pH value in a gentle and gentle way. Perfect for combination skin that is both oily and normal / dry / sensitive.

konjac-facial-red

Konjac Facial Sponge - Red clay, ideal for mature skin

This spa sponge is ideal for cleansing dry and mature skin. It balances the skin's pH value and has soothing and rejuvenating properties and gives the face a nice glow! The fungus is also good for blood circulation, sun-damaged skin, stretch marks and visible blood vessels.

The fungus contains red French clay which is rich in iron oxide which is known to stimulate blood circulation for a healthy glow. Red French clay cleanses the skin of dead skin cells and speeds up the regeneration process.
konjac-facial-black

Konjac Facial Sponge - Bamboo Charcoal, ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.

This spa sponge is ideal for deep cleansing oily and impure skin. It balances the skin's pH value and exfoliates and removes impurities, oil and dead skin cells.

The mushroom contains bamboo charcoal, which is an environmentally friendly resource as bamboo is incredibly fast growing! Bamboo charcoal is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, and absorbs toxins and excess fat from the pores where regular cleaning is difficult to reach.

konjac-facial-pink

Konjac Facial Sponge - Pink Clay, ideal for dry, sensitive and / or sun-exposed skin.

This spa sponge is ideal for deep cleansing tired and sensitive skin. It balances the skin's pH value and exfoliates and removes impurities and dead skin cells in a gentle and gentle way, can also be used after sun exposure.

The fungus contains pink French clay which is a mixture of white and red clay, the mildest of all French clays. Pink clay has a emollient effect, it improves blood circulation and repairs the tissue in the skin.

This last mushroom is the same as the heart-shaped one I had in stock before, except that it is round. Unfortunately I got the delivery wrong, but I think it does not matter because the only difference is the shape.

All facial sponges cost SEK 99. They are hard when they dry but become soft when you wet them with warm water. When you have used it, rinse with cold water and hang up (there is a string on all of them) so that it dries properly, then it stays fresh. Can also be cooked quickly when you have had it for a few months and want to make it fresh (have not tested this myself yet, but it says on their website that it works).
And as a final tip, I would like to recommend the best combo in the world - these spa sponges and Botanicals clay masks! The skin feels absolutely amazing afterwards!

The face masks are 100% natural clay masks with 70% organic content. Balancing Mask with green clay and avocado suits oily skin types and is perfect for the mushrooms bamboo charcoal and green clay. Revitalizing mask with pink clay and rosehip oil suits sensitive and dry skin types and is perfect for the mushrooms Red clay and Pink clay.

Yves Rocher Exfoliating Nail Treatment

In June, Yves Rocher launches new nail products, and some of them I took home with me at their press breakfast a few weeks ago.

A novelty is, among other things, the nail peeling "Yves Rocher Exfoliating Nail Treatment" which cleans the nail surface and removes impurities and bacteria, at the same time as it exfoliates the cuticles and the skin around the nails.

I usually, to be honest, never peel the nails, just polish with nail file and clean with a remover before I paint nail polish, but for the cuticles, a good peeling feels incredibly worthwhile so it was fun to try :)

IMG_1913_111

Yves Rocher's nail peeling contains apricot and argan kernels that peel the nails and cuticles in a gentle and gentle way.

The scrub grains are just the right size and scrub well, but I wish they were much more because when you have to scrub such small areas as nails and cuticles, it is difficult if there is more gel than barley.

Besides that, I like it very much, the skin becomes very soft and feels moisturized and smooth afterwards!

But I think it works better for the whole hands where you have a little more "grip" when scrubbing. I will probably use the end of mine but it will be more for the hands than the nails, I must admit, the hands will be incredibly soft! :)

I have also tried scrubbing the back of my hand with it and the result is super good! Take a click on the back of the hand and scrub the skin until the gel after a short while has sunk into the skin and the grains have fallen off. The hands are so smooth then! I do not know why it would be better than using it as it should be used (just my own curiosity that made me test) but it feels incredibly good anyway :)

The peeling will be launched in June and will cost SEK 79 for 10 ml.

Colorful make-up

Today I was hungry for color again so it was a blue make-up with a bit of purple! Wonderful I think :)

I was going to take photos step by step for you, but sometimes I get a little vitamin deficiency feelings even though I do not have it and get dull and dizzy in the body, and since the photo stuff and where I put on make-up are in different rooms, I could not get up all the time so there was no step by step today unfortunately!

Hope my word description is good enough too :)

I have made a very discreet ombre effect on the lip with a light full-coverage lip gloss on the entire lips, and then dabbed on red lipstick on the sides that only darkens the light a little.
