New Stila goodies from BeautyBay

The postman just dropped off another package with Stila goodies from BeautyBay :) They had 15% off recently, so I thought I would stock up on some of my favorite Stila products. I got the silk shimmer luxe gloss in Kitten. This is the best lip gloss ever in my book. Aside from the lovely scent of coconut, this gloss has an amazing staying power. It is a great sheer champagne colour with a touch of pink, perfect neutral colour to use on its own or as the finishing touch over a lipstick. I have tried several of the Stila lip products in numerous colours, but I always come back to Kitten and this formula in particular.
The second product I got was the Perfect & Correct foundation in Light, which is one of my top three foundations. The consistency is a bit like a heavy whipped cream, making it really light and goes on very smoothly. It has medium coverage, I find that one layer is enough for me, but like with any foundation you can keep layering till you get the desired coverage. It has good staying power as well and seems to last me all day, I have an oily T-zone so I do set it with a powder.

Bath & Body Shop

I recently discovered Bath & Body Shop a UK website that sell my latest obsession, the I love...coconut & cream products. As they are not sold here in DK I am always on the lookout for online store to save the day. So after coming across Bath & Body Shop I thought I would give them a try.

 Thought that their packaging was super cute :)

Their prices are really excellent and even with the postage I had to pay from the UK to DK, it was cheaper than Nelly.com which have previously supplied me with my coconut fix.

I also decided to try something new, so I got the shower gel..it was £2 so I kind of had too :)
They list on their website that they ship to the European Union and that it can take 10-14 days for delivery to arrive, but my order got shipped on a Thursday and arrived Tuesday, so I was well impressed and will definitely be a repeat buyer. Besides I love... they also carry Bath & Body Works, Lip Smackers, EOS and Victoria Secret products to name a few. Pin It

I love...I love...I love...

It is safe to say that I LOVE this exfoliating shower smoothie in Coconut & Cream! Not enough good things can be said about this product, even though I tried my best in an earlier post .
I love... products are not sold in DK, but I found that I can get them through Nelly.com, so now all is right with the world. Only minor setback is that the shipping they choose to use here is one that does not cover actual delivery to your door. You have to go to your local postoffice to pick up your package. I actually wouldn't mind paying a bit more to aviod that and have it delivered directly to the address I provided :)

UPDATE: I have now discovered that there are other types of shipment, so next time I shall remember to read the small print. Pin It

Lovely Lip Glaze

Such lovely lip glaze from Stila. From top to bottom: Kitten x2, Piñata and Maraca

Kitten (Stila's "signature" colour) is my absolute favourite - which is why I have more than one I guess. Great champagne/golden pink colour with a bit of sparkle. Oh and did I mention that it has a delicious coconut scent?

Piñata is a lovely sparkly pink with a raspberry scent. Maraca is a sparkle free light pink with a strawberry scent.

All of these products have that somewhat "translucent" lip gloss look to their colour pay off, but I think they leave the pefect amount of colour. They are very high-shine glosses and come in a wide variety of colours, so there should be something for everyone :)

I really love these and think they have a really good staying power through out the day. You will need to reapply obviously, like with (any) other lip products, but I think this holds up better then a lot of others I have tried.

I love...even more!

I previously mentioned the handlotion I got from "I love...", but I completely forgot to mention that I also got their exfoliating shower smoothie in coconut & cream (obviously!).
I love, love, love this product! Forget about the smell, which is just so lovely and coconutty, this leaves my skin so soft and smooth. This is one of the best exfoliating scrubs I have ever tried. Can't believe I only bought one!! Pin It

I love...

I do indeed love this "I love...Coconut & Cream" hand lotion. I got this on a recent trip to Sweden and I mostly got it for the lovely smell of coconut :)
But so far I have been pretty pleased with it. It does have glycerin in it, which I tend not to be such a fan of since I find that it never really seems to leave my skin and I end up with this "permanent" slightly greasy layer on my hands. But this one really isn't too bad I feel...perhaps I am just so in love with the smell that I look past the grease..who knows ;) But it does leave my hands really soft and I am fairly sure I would buy it again.
