The Body Shop Body Butter Review

Hello stars

I have not done a beauty post for a long time, so I thought that it was the right time to do a little beauty review. A couple of weeks ago I've got a little gift set with four different body butters. I already had two, so today I am going to review six of The Body Shop’s Body Butters. Which is something I have been using in the past month. 

Nr. 1: Strawberry

5 out of 5 stars

I have always loved the smell of strawberries, so of course I love this body butter. The strawberry fragrance lasts for at least an hour and then the smell slowly fades. After applying the butter soaks into the skin quickly leaving it hydrated and soft. I really love the packaging of the strawberry body butter and it's one of my favorites. Another thing that I love is that the body butter is pink!

Nr. 2: Shea

1 out of 5 stars

I hate the smell of this body butter, I think it smells like a perfume for men. I don't know why, but I just don't like it. I also think that the packaging is a little boring and I don't think I will buy it again. I am just not a girl that like the smell of nuts (if shea is a nut... I think it is, but i'm blonde so...)  

Nr. 3: Olive

4 out of 5

The Olive Body Butter is very natural. It have a nice and natural smell of olives, that I actually like very much. The fragrance is not overpowering and also good for sensitive nose as well. I don't like the color of the packaging, I think it looks old... maybe a weird thing to say (or write) but... that's my opinion. On the other hand, I really like the fresh green color of the butter. 

Nr. 4: Moringa

3 out of 5 stars

This body butter smells weird (like a moringa flower I think), I personally don't really like the smell. Thankfully the fragrance isn't very strong and doesn't last very long. The butter is hydrating and makes my skin very soft. It's not one f my favorites, but on the other hand, my mom loves it, so I think it depends from person to person.

Nr. 5: Pink Grapefruit

3 out of 5 star

In the beginning I loved it, the smell was amazing the packaging and color of the cream gorgeous - the whole thing was perfect and the body butter was my favorite. So why only 3 stars? The packaging and the color of the butter haven't changed - it's still super pretty. The smell... is just... I don't like it. I don't know how it happened, but after a week of using the product, I just think that the smell change (is it even possible?). Again, maybe it's just me. 

Nr. 6: Lemon

5 out of 5 stars

The Lemon Body Butter is also one of my favorites. The smell is very nice and fresh - I sometimes want to eat it... UPS. Maybe it's just me but I think the lemon butter is lighter and easier to apply than the others. I love the bright yellow color of the packaging as swell as the light yellow color of the butter.

Hello stars

No, this post isn't about the Oscars...sorry guys. Even though the dresses was amazing (my favorite was  Lupita Nyong'o, her dress was so beautiful, like herself! First the Golden Globes now the Oscars...) but I just think that to many people are writing about the Oscars, so this is a post about a completly different thing - DIY face masks. 

After a long monday you always need a face mask... so I've been making some different DIY face maskes, here are my top 3:

Honey & salt mask

This is a super easy face mask for acne - the only things you will need is salt and honey! Mix the two ingredients together and then leave on for 10 - 15 minutes or until its dried. Then wash it off. This mask is very good for people with oily skin. But if you don't have oily skin(like me), don't worry you can still use this amazing mask, just use sugar insted of salt.

Easy egg white mask

This is also a super easy face mask with only two ingredients-1 egg white, separated from the yolk and 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Again, mix the two ingredients together and then leave on for 10 - 15 minutes or until its dried. Then wash it off. This mask moisturise your skin!

Honey, yoghurt & oil mask

For the last face mask you will need three ingredients: 2 teaspoons honey, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and 2 teaspoons olive oil. This is a really good mask for dry skin, because it indholder oli. I have self very very dry skin, and this mask make my skin very soft and a less dry.

Have a lovely week.

The big blueberry post

Hello stars

I'm obsessed about blueberries in the moment (they are so cool), so here is my first official blueberry post (WTF???). But yes this post is about blueberries, so let's start with some facts about blueberries…no I'm just kidding.

But I found some blueberry drink/beauty/fashion things that I love and want to share with you!

1. Simple blueberry milkshake

So, I've been searching for a simple recipes for blueberry smoothie/milkshake that I can drink when I watch my favorite tv-show (Greys Anatomy or PLL). My favorit is the most simple, a milkshake with only 4 ingredients: vanilla ice cream, milk, greek yoghurt and (of course) blueberries.

2. Blueberry body butter from The Body Shop

This is one of my favorite body butters from The Body Shop. I don't have it(yet), but every time I am near a The body shop-store I go inside and try it Hihi. The smell is lovely, plus it leaves my hands really soft.

3. Dress from Topshop

This dress reminds me so much of blueberries! I don't know why(maybe I'm just weird), no matter what I love it. It is so pretty and the print is so cute. The color is also pretty and blueberry-like.

Btw I was tagged by the beautiful Mia from http://mimibeauty07.blogspot.co.uk to do 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag'. Thank you so much Mia! I will write more about it soon! 

Hope you have a great weekend.

The little girl with the big hair...

Hello stars

Here is a fact: A woman spends about two years of her life washing, colouring, cutting, treating, and combing her hair. Unfortunately, even after all that, our hair  is not like the hair in those shampoo commercials. And the biggest problem (this is my biggest problem because I am born with big and curly hair) it's frizz!!!

         And what causes frizzy hair?

• If you are brushing your hair when it's wet.
• If you are rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel after washing your hair.
• If you are using too many styling products like hairspray.
• If you are using to many styling tools like straighteners.

          And what to do to managing frizzy hair?

• Put your hair up in a bun after washing your hair - It's magic, when i wash my hair and put my hair up in a bun (when it's still wet) my frizzy hair dissapear, and I have perfect waves the next morning.
• Don’t over-shampoo!!! - and you know what I mean...
• Stay away from the blow-dryers and other heat for your hair - if you want to combat frizzy hair, just stay away from blow-dryers. It can make you hair more dry and frizzy
• Trim your hair often - Trim your hair every eight weeks or so to avoid split ends ( I actually trim my hair self, and it isn't very hard)
• Use a good conditioner and shampoo - I like John Freider Frizz-ease shampoo and conditioner, it make my hair more smooth and less frizzy. You can also use a shampoo for dry hair.

Women are only helpless until their nail polish dries

Hello stars!!!

I love nail polishes and I'm crazy with lists, so naturally I've made ​​a list of the Fall 2013 nail polishes. After making the list, I think it was a little too boring, so why not make a collage.

There are mabye too many shades of purple on my collage but ... I like purple in the fall time.

To change the subject a little, you know when you just have taken nail polish on, and then you have to make pudding or take socks on (maybe not exactly that but you know what I mean) and it happens (and I do not need to say what it is because you know it yourself). It actually happened to me yesterday, and just grrrr!!!

The nail polishes are from Chanel, OPI, Dior, Essie and NARS!!!
