Review: Mentholatum Softlips

Softlips lipbalm from Mentholatum, in this case I got the French Vanilla version.

This lip-balm is enriched with vitamin E and has SPF 20 which always is good. It smells minty-fresh but with a bit of vanilla in it. Whether this is nice or not is of course a personal choice, it's a bit weird scent-mixture but OK for me, and when you're wearing it you can't smell it anyway.

It feels smooth on the lips and gives you a fresh minty feeling. Also, this product is slimmer than other stick lip-balms which gives it a cuter and more unique design but this can also be a bit annoying since you have to spend more time applying it all over your lips. The bigger your lips, the more time you have to spend.

Also I feel a need to re-apply this product more often than other lip-balms and when I've been wearing it for a longer period of time, the skin on my lips starts to chap beneath the balm.

It gives your lips a natural look, it's not noticeable at all, your lips just look moist but not glossy.

All in all I'm not too keen on it, I really don't like the fact that it makes my brittle lips chap even more :(

As you can see this lip-balm is longer and slimmer than other balms, but this also means that you have to spend more time on applying it.

Christmas 2011: What I got for Christmas

Ho ho ho fellas!

Here's what I got for Christmas this year!

My dear mom and dad gave me these Converse All Stars. I love these shoes, I pretty much always wear Converse, I've gone through a couple of pairs but I break them :( so luckily they gave me these. I really like the chocolatebrown colour.

Mega Lash mascara from Wet 'n Wild.

Max Volume lipgloss (colour unknown) from Wet 'n Wild.

Rock Solid nail polish from Wet 'n Wild in (left) Sparkling diamond and (right) Timeless Red.

Diamond Brilliance lipgloss from Wet 'n Wild in the colour Rocking Rubies. This gloss is unbelievably pigmented, it's insane! It's not as light as on the picture, it's only due to poor lighting ;) but look. So rich and pigmented product!

Diamond Brilliance lipgloss from Wet 'n Wild in the colour Sparkling Diamonds. (Déjá vú anyone? :b)
This lipgloss is so unique. It's clear with a holographic, blue, purple, green shine - looks really good on!

Just a detail, these are all the tops of the Wet 'n Wild diamond-line products. Isn't that just to die for?

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas!

Christmas 2011: Questionnaire

No talking lets get started!

Where in the world are you from?
I live in Denmark, Scandinavia.

What is the weather like in that country at Christmas time?Sometimes we have snow on Christmas Eve. We’ve had rough winters for the past two years and snow on Christmas Eve. But this year it’s very uncertain whether we’re going to have a “white Christmas” or not.

What does your town do for this holiday?Trees and streets get decorated with lights and ornaments. People hang lights on their trees or bushes in the garden. We have Christmas markets where some people have different craft booths both in- and outdoors. We get together and make Christmas decorations and bake cake. And of course, we all stress about what to get who for Christmas ;)

Do you celebrate Christmas Eve, lunch, dinner or morning?In Denmark (and big parts of Europe if not all) Christmas Eve is the peak of Christmas. All day of the 24th we (in our home) cooks, watch TV, admire the decorated tree, wait in anxiety, have a good meal consisting of white boiled potatoes, small caramelized potatoes, pork roast, red sweetened cabbage and brown sauce. Then we unwrap presents, have ris a la mande for desert and chill out J

Do you attend any special religious ceremonies?Some people go to church, we don’t.

Traditionally, who brings the presents in your country?Santa, good ol’ Santa!

Do you think Christmas has changed since you were a child?No not really. The only thing that has changed is that I’m no longer a child. Christmas in Denmark is mostly about cosiness and especially making sure that the children have a magical time. Plus it’s kind of hard to get into the Christmas mood when you are super busy at work and in school L

Name 5 things you want for Christmas this yearI’d like Avril Lavigne’s Black star and .. Something something Rose perfume ;)
Money for my Stockholm trip.
A new camera.
Make up from ELF.
New shoes.

What is your favorite Christmas song?Probably Santa Baby sung by Eartha Kitt.

What is your favorite Christmas scent?The scent of newly baked cookies!

Favorite gift recieved as a child?Well.. I wasn’t exactly a child, but it’s some years ago. My parents gave me a Maglite flashlight, I was so upset and disappointed. I didnøt even want it, and couldn’t see what I was going to use it for. But I’ve come to be extremely grateful, I use it all the time and it’s super good!

Hardest person to bu a present for?My dad! I always end up giving him things that just needs to be replaced around the house, mainly in the kitchen. A new kitchen timer, frying pan (this year), towels. I always make sure to get him something either big or many small presents because I feel bad for him just looking at my mom and me unwrapping presents. YOU SHOULD HAVE MANY PRESENTS EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A GROWN MAN!

Easiest person to buy for?Probably my mom and my friends. Candles, soaps, make-up, perfume – that’s something I give ALL girls if I can’t think of anything else.

Favorite Christmas movie?A Christmas Romance!

When do you start shopping for Christmas?As quickly as possible! I’ll start in September even if I just have two things! 1) And idea of what I want. 2) MONEH!

Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?Mmm traditional cake which I have no idea what to call in English.. And pork roast..

Christmas 2011: Candy cane nails in variations

Hello hello! Here are two ways I have painted my nails in a candy cane design this year :)

I prefer design no. 1, more simple and cute :D

Keep up the jollyness!

Christmas 2011: Penguin nails

Heey guys. Some time ago I found this tutorial on youtube:

And I recreated the look on my nails. Here's the result. I'm sorry to say that I didn't do a very good job in recreating and don't really like the looks of it on my nails. BUT, I still thought I'd share. Maybe you'll do a better job ;)

Keep up the jollyness! Love Elk :)

Haul: Random and hair stuff

Hia guys, I have some newly purchased hair products and some other random cuteeee stuff :)

This is uuh.. FIXING HAIRSPRAY ;) from Loreal, I didn't actually realize that before i had already bought it. Luckily it was on sale so I got it real cheap, but I already have a hairspray that I like, and since I don't use hairspray every day (actually I only use it a couple a times a year), I'm giving this to my mom for Christmas.

Last week I bleached my hair and bleaching is a really rough treatment for your hair. So I bought this conditioner spray, I use it every morning, couple of spritez all over and then some just for the tips of my hair. If you have dry hair I think this'll be a really good investment, makes my hair super soft and shiny - BUT! Don't use it too much, it'll make your hair more greasy.

This was on sale as well, and to be honest - I'm not really sure what it's for. I just bought it 'cause it was so cheap and looks fancy. I read on the back and can't really seem to find the use of this product. But it's probably really good for you hair ;)

Juust make-up remover. I was out ;)

"Ya bought a blinged out old Nokia??" NO! I bought the little accessory thing for it, the cover I made myself. Just sticking on the sparkly gems directly onto the phone with nail polish. (Looks a bit different now, will post and updated pic). And YES, it's really hard to get off but.. Haven't grown tired of it yet :)
Gel pens.. I was out, but unfortunately these seem to work really crappy.

I got this nail polish from my aunt whose friend had been to Texas. Unfortunately, it's 99% like the one from Sinful Colors which I already own. The one from Sinful Covers is a TAD darker though.
LITTLE CHRISTMAS LANTERN! Because it's Chriiiiiiiiiiiiistmas! Isn't it cuteee? :D reindeeeeeer!
You're probably going.. "A ceramic cupcake, so what?", it's a piggybank. My old one was double the size of this and not very cute. I like this better because it's smaller - thus feels up more easily, and it's ceramic so it's kind of heavy, which makes it FEEL fuller than it is :D

He he, potato chips and dutch waffles. All gone now :)

I'm loving teas at at moment! So I bought these ones. This box here is rooibus in different variations..

And white tea also in different variations. Like the rooibus tea, haven't tried the white yet.

Upcoming on this blog: My likeeee winter/Christmas make-up looks.

- I wish you a merry Christmaaas!, love Elk
