Goodiebox - April

The theme of this month's (well, last month's actually, as it arrived three days into May, hmm) Goodiebox is "Back to the roots", inspired by Coco Chanel, the Goodiebox people have focused on the fundamental products that make our skin and hair look amazing.

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance".

- Coco Chanel

Urtekram Nordisk Birk Shampoo for normal hair.
Ecological shampoo. I like the pump dispenser. The scent isn't that interesting, but it made my hair squeaky clean. Too clean to be exact! My hair looked dull and was completely unmanagable. I'm sorry to say that I won't be using this one again, even though it's made from 100 % organic ingredients.

Dr. Hauschka Body Care Kit

Probably the headliner of this box, and the most exciting product in the two Goodieboxes I've received, I've heard good things about this brand, but after trying the three moisturizers, I can honestly say that I won't be getting any use out of this set. They are so fragrant, I can't stand them and the consistency is really liquidy. They are definitely not for me, but I gave the set to my mom, maybe she'll like them.

Derma Eco Woman 24H Creme

I'm not going to let it be a secret, but I've never been a fan of Derma's products, despite them being all allergy friendly and such. Every product I've tried has never done it for me. Soaps have dried out my skin and lotions have been far from moisturizing enough for me, so yeah, not a big fan. But I'll try this one out, you never know, maybe it'll change my mind.

Natural 50

Max Factor Ageless Elixir

Foundation sample. A tricky kind of thing to put in a Goodiebox in my opinion. It's definitely not right for my skin tone. It's several nuances too dark and a bit too orange for my skin. I tried it on nevertheless, and it has quite good coverage and a velvety texture, so it goes on smoothly. If it wasn't for the fact that it's filled with parabens and other bad things, I might be looking into it if I ever were to need a liquid foundation.

I like this Goodiebox better than last month's, but next time I'm hoping for more makeup products.
