Veet Campaign for Buzzador

Some days ago I picket up a big package at the post office which had buzzador logos all over it. This is my first package from buzzador and the first campaign I've been accepted for so I'm pretty excited. The package had a bunch of products that I am supposed to share with my girl friends at a spa night. The timing is just so incredibly bad with us being on the move, but it lasts for another three weeks so I thought I'd tell you about it now and then show you girl night pictures later!

Info from the campaign folder.
Veet Hair Removal Cream.
This hair removal cream can be used for legs, arms, underarms and bikini line.

* It works in only 3 minutes on the skin to give you hairless legs that lasts twice as long as when shaving.
* The cream has a gentle, dermalogically tested formula without parabenes.
* It is very easy to use. You just apply the cream, let it work and then remove it, and the hair, with the spatula that comes with it.

I have actually tried this product before, but that is many years ago and the formula is changed so it is going to be fun to try it out now. I usually wax and am pretty pleased with the results I get when waxing, but this is less painful.




What do you prefer; Shaving, waxing or hair removal creams?
I got these poducts for free. I do not get paid to blog about them.

theBalm Read my Lips lipstick - Letter to the editor

I think I am going to make posts like this for all my lipstick and will make a new label called "lipsticks" (daha). Still just thinking about it, but it would be a fun project for me to do. I have a lot of lipsticks.

This one I bought from Coverbrands.no and is called  Letter to the editor. I just love the design of this, it is so cute and unique like a lot of other theBalm products. The lipstick itself however is not that special. It is an average sheer, shimmery brownish red lipstick. I'm guessing it will look great with a tan in the summer because of the shimmer. I would be lieing if I said this would be for everyday use, because I don't use shimmer on my lips normally. But I could use this at parties for the times when my eyemakeup is very dark to balance it out.





Have you tried theBalm?

Barry M Lip Paint - Green

I don't know what it is with me and colours. This is actually a very dirty green on me. I was hoping for a neon colour, but this is more forest green. Still, I love it. Does it suit me? Not really. Will I have any excuse to wear it anywhere? No. But I love it! The texture is smooth, creamy and feels moist on my lips so that is good. It is actually a great lipstick, and my Barry M Lip Paints might just be my favourites out of all the lipsticks I have (after the Gina Tricot ones, they have supernatural hold!). So I would recommend these to everyone who dares to use some extra colour.

I actually ordered a blue one and a lavender one with this, all from Coverbrands, but those two were dried out. I got great service though and they sent me two new lipsticks, but these were just the same as the original two so I sent them all back and got a refund. They where going to check their other lip paints, cause it seems as though they got a bad patch of lipsticks. I will be purchasing the blue one later on though, awesome colour!




One coat over clean lips.

TBS Vitamin E Cool BB Cream

Vitamin E Cool BB Cream from The Body Shop is a day cream with colour. It is said to give 12 hour moisture and protection. This cream is suitable for all skintypes. It contains wheatgerm oil which is the richest natural source of vitamine E there is.



I got this product a couple of weeks ago and have tried it out several times since then. Because the product is not yet available in store I did not know much about it and used it in the same way as my other TBS BB-cream. After reading some info that was e-mailed to me today (and I have tried to translate on top of this post) I see that I should have treated it as a day cream (skin care) rather than a BB-cream (makeup). I ended up using it as a day cream anyway, though.

Skin Care: The first times I used this product I used it solely as a makeup product so I did not change my skin care routine. For my combination to oily skin this was too much moisture and I almost felt sticky through out the whole day. Well, it is not that strange considering I was wearing two day creams on top of eachother. I later tried the Vitamin E Cool BB Cream instead of my normal day cream which worked out a lot better. Usually I use a serum under my day cream, but that too can be a little bit too much moisture under this one.



Makeup: Vitamin E Cool BB Cream comes in only one colour and it fits me pretty well. The cream evens out the skin tone and gives a light coverage. For just a day at work this product works perfectly fine with concealer and some powder on top (here). For the days that I want a little bit more I wouldn't use this as my base makeup, but I have used it as a day cream with my foundation on top. I then, maybe, did not need as much foundation to accomplish the results I wanted, but the amount was minimal. And, my foundation too gives moisture so I would oil up a little faster than normal.



Conclusion: I don't really know what I am going to do with this product and here is why. It does not have SPF. Did you see that one coming? It really bugs me too because it is a nice product. At first I figured that it didn't really matter because both my day cream and foundation has SPF. But I can't use it with my day cream because it gives to much moisture for my skin, and I really don't see a point in using it under my foundation. The ideal use for this would be as a BB cream, instead of day cream and foundation, and just with concealer and powder on top. I can offcourse wear it like this on grey rainy days, but I wanted to wear this in the summer when I don't wear a lot of makeup.

Vitamin E Cool BB Cream is overall a very good product, it just does not fit my needs.
I would recommend this product for people who have normal to dry skin that needs just a light coverage. It is available in stores from monday the 22th.
