I was given a gift......

....by my brother. My brother have just come home from a trip to Iceland and while he was there he thought of me and bought me a gift. Lets just say that my brother knows me very well and he knows what makes me happy so he bought me some skincare from Iceland.


This kit is made by an Icelandic company called Sóley Organics and they make organic skincare products with ingredients from Iceland. The kit is called Revive and contains two products, a mineral mask and an exfoliator.




The mask is called steinEY and it is a mineral mask with volcanic clay from Eyjafjallajökull (I have no idea how to pronounce this and I am glad this isn't YouTube) and Wild Icelandic Birch. The mask is actually a gray powder and you mix it with water before applying it on your face. It is supposed to regulate and balance the skin.

The Exfoliator is called GLÓey and it is a purifying exfoliator with peppermint and wild Icelandic herbs. This exfoliator smells like toothpaste and this is deep-cleansing and nourishing that will give you a polished and luminous complexion.

I am so excited to try these. I have always been curious to try a clay mask and this seems like a good one. I am also in need of a good exfoliator so this kit will definitely come in handy.

I am going to try these products and then post a review on this blog and tell you more about the products and how they perform.

White Musk Libertine

I don't know what it is but I have started to go for more sweet fragrances lately. Normally I'm a fresh scent kind of a girl. I'm still not loving the candy or vanilla cupcake kind of scents, in fact I have a difficult time with vanilla fragrances over all and I tend to stay away from these scents.

Luckily for me White Musk Libertine from The Body Shop isn't falling in to the vanilla cupcake category at all but is a really nice feminine sweet scent that isn't overpoweringly sweet.

White Musk Libertine is a new twist on the popular White Musk fragrance from The Body Shop. According to the Swedish Body Shop Website White Musk Libertine has the following notes, musk (of course), Turkish Delight, Orchid and Whipped Cream.
Turkish Delight is a sugary gel candy that most often contains ingredients such as rosewater, nuts and lemon peels.

I didn't buy the perfume because it felt a little bit too sweet for me but I picked up the body mist and the shower gel. The Body Mist is also sweet and I would describe it as a sweet sugary rose scent that is actually very nice on the skin.

The shower gel isn't as sweet as the body mist and I feel that this scent is a little bit more complex than the body mist. Here I still feel the sweet sugary rose but there is also a little bit of a masculine cologne note hiding in the background, this might be caused by the musk.

I do recommend these products for those of you that are looking for a sweet scent that feels feminine but not a teenage candy floss kind of scent.


The products were paid for with my own money and it is my own opinion

On my eyes: Just a simple EOTD

I have to admit that browns and neutrals are my favorite colors. I know I am boring but I love makeups like this, bright and light in the inner corner, a darker outer corner and crease, heavy black liner and nothing but mascara under the eye. Sometimes I even skip the mascara on the bottom lashes.


For this makeup I used the following products:

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, The Original
Make Up Store Eyeprimer Tinted
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk and Slate
Make Up Store Eyeshadows in Muffin and Tie
MAC eyeshadows in Handwritten, Wedge and Brulé
Make Up Store Cake Eyeliner in Black
Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara in Black



On my lips I am wearing my new lipstick from Clinique, The Almost lipstick in 06 Black Honey. This is a part of the Fall Collection from Clinique and apparently it is limited edition, which is a shame since this is a wonderful color.

This lipstick is quite sheer so it is more of a stain on the lips than an actual lipstick. I love this color and I have been using this constantly since I got it about a week ago. The color is excellent for fall but I think you can wear this all year round.

The only downside with this lipstick is that it feels a little bit dry and it has a tendency to accentuate the lines in your lip, but I can live with that.



All of the products mentioned were paid for with my own money and this is my own opinion.
