Collective Haul

In the last few months I only bought things I really wanted. When I reorganized my things I realized that I had few things that I really liked to wear or use on a daily basis. I can feel how I'm changing ^^

I got this bracelet and earring from Accessorize.

 I love the heart shape and the easy style.

I stopped at the MAC store 2 months ago. Since then I'm using these products nearly 5 days a week.

I got the powder blush in Pinch O'Peach, the Blotting Powder in Medium and the lipstick in Speed Dial. I love the blotting powder! It's perfect for summer, when I get oily very soon. This is very long lasting, but I have to take more care to not look cakey. The colour and texture of the blush is wonderful and stays all day. I also like everything about the lipstick.

Last week I received Sana Soy Milk Q10 Essence and Sana Soy Milk Whitening Cream from Adam Beauty.

I love japanese product packaging! 

Sana Soy Milk Q10 Essence:

Luxurious beauty essence quickly sinks into skin without leaving a heavy or sticky feeling behind. Fermented soymilk, CoQ10 and isoflavone moisturize skin for renewed elasticity and suppleness. Upon application, skin feels smoother and healthier with an attractive luster. Can also be used as a makeup base. Best for dry and sensitive skin types. By SANA.

Sana Soy Milk Whitening Cream: 

Lavish face cream treats skin to unparalleled skin whitening and hydrating with arbutin and natural soymilk. Powerful water binders trap moisture close to skin's surface to keep skin supple and hydrated round the clock. After cleansing and toning skin, gently massage cream evenly on skin and pat in until fully absorbed. Colorant and mineral free formula makes it suitable even for sensitive skin types. By SANA.

In Germany you are able to get a lot of skin care products in pharmacy stores (like Avene, Vichy, La Roche Posay, Skin Ceuticals etc.). I love to stop by the pharmacy regularly to check them out^^

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream

Last time I saw a japanese girl with flawless skin introducing the above cream to her friends. I was so curious I had to try myself haha. Until now it doesn't break me out. It's parabenfree and contains thermal water from Vichy. It has a pleasant scent and a very nice texture. However it's a very rich cream and maybe more suited for winter. I absolutely adore this cream!

Do you have such products in your pharmacy?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 My first product from Kiehl's is the Cucumber Herbal Alcohol-free Toner for all skin types. It doesn't break me out. Also I like the herbal scent and the fresh feeling on my skin. I can feel how it moisturizes my skin!

 The other one is Esteny Hot Curvy Oilgel by Sana:

Body-slimming oil warms up upon application to boost skin metabolism and break up fat cells by inducing sweating. Chili pepper warms up skin to produce perspiration, while garana seed extract hydrates and conditions skin for a softer and more supple feel. While in the shower, massage Hot Curvy Oil Gel over problem areas, leave on for a few minutes and then rinse off. By SANA.

 I use this body scrub spontaneously. Especially in summer I feel I have to do more for my skin. I can feel instantly the difference. My skin is more smooth and less dry. I think is better than normal body scrub. But I didn't sweat because of it and I think it doesn't break up any fat cells lol. It's just a nice addition to any body skin care.

I'm happy I started using Burt's Bees Lip Balm. Beside the heavy smell of honeycomb, it is amazing how it moisturizes my lips.

I got this L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Dating Coral. A very nice peachy and transludent colour. I'm thinking of getting more colours of this range cos it's just perfect for summer!

Got these from H&M a week ago. I'm in love with this pink/salmon colour *v*!! 

Impressions of Disneyland Paris

In February I visited Disneyland Paris. I'm terrible in finishing a post so I just decided to post these pics without a lot of comments. I was very excited as it was the first time for me visiting a Disneyland Park.
 

A change for my blog...

I've wanted to change my blog for a long time. But never had the patience to do it. Until now.

I want this place to be more like myself. More personal.

I hope you like the change too :-) 

Picked up the Origins Clear Improvement mask and Super Spot Remover at sale. They are working great until now. Especially the Active charcoal mask to clear pores. Very easy to use ♥

Do you know Origins is a brand from Estée Lauder? Such as brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown, Clinique and La mer. Guess that's my fav brand^^

I'm a bit interested in german drugstore products lately. It's easy to get them.

Especially Catrice is quite good. I got the eyeshadow palette in Explosive Combination and the blush in Colour Bomb from the Revoltaire LE.

And hooraaay my local drugstore is selling NYX products now! I wanted to try this Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese for a very long time. I broke the lid right at the beginning haha...

 

Palty in Sakura Creamy Review

It's been a while since my last post. I hope you all are doing well so far ^^ Since I dyed my hair a while ago I want to share my thoughts with you on this Palty hair dye in Sakura Creamy.

I tried Palty hair dyes two times before this one, so I can say I have some experience with this brand.

First off... the lovely packaging. People who read my previous posts know I love good packagings! I think they delight your eyes instantly *-*

Usually I use two bottle for my hair which goes down to my chest. My experience has told me: better you have some dye left than you hadn't enough to cover all of your hair.

This is how the packaging show you the colour your hair (maybe) turns out haha. 

Inside this box there is of course the hair dye in the usual bottle you get from nearly every brand. Beside this (sorry I didn't make it to take a pic from the bottle and the application on it... but I don't have any use for the application anyway) there are the instruction, the treatment and a pair of gloves.

I recommend to use some tools like clips for separating your hair.

But first most of you guys know, that the colour nearly never turns out like on the packaging! If you have some experience with this already you can calculate the risk haha.

But honestly you can't do anything wrong with this dye.

The Sakura Creamy from Palty has an pink undertone which garanties you that your hair won't tun too much yellowish. I really like a good brown that tends to pink. That's not the same like red!

It is really hard to take good pictures of ones hair if you don't have any good lighting tools. So my shot turns out really bad. But I can desribe the colour a bit with this picture.

So lightest parts are the real hair colour in sunlight. It turns out normal brown with normal daylight.

One thing good to mention is, that this dye really lightens your hair. I can see my roots growing out very visibly! I didn't had this experience with the other hair dyes, which is crazy because the other dyes from Palty I tried seems all more lighter than this shade.

In all this is the first diy hair dye I'm really satisfied with.

And the first one I will rebuy too. I just wish it would give the hair more "shine". That would be the only downside of this. Oh, and

I will do some FOTD soon, so you can see how the colour is with whole face too^^

Hope you liked this review! If you have any questions or just want to have a talk you can always leave me a comment or even better contact me on twitter: bloom157

NARUKO Narcissus Total Defense Eye Essence Cream and NARUKO Majoram and Lavender Brightening Serum REVIEW

So I told you I would do a review on my NARUKO items in a post in August.

So I had time till now to try them out and do a review based on experience^^

I got these two: NARUKO Narcissus Total Defense Eye Essence Cream and the NARUKO Marjoram and Lavender Brightening Serum!

If anyone is interested you can check out details of this brand.

But in short: NARUKO is a brand from Niu Er. He is the " Beauty King" of Taiwan and very famous in other asian countries too^^

(you can skip this part and scroll down to my pics XD) 

For those who want to take a look at the ingredience^^

So first of all: the packaging! 

Super nice as you can see you can fold the packaging itself to a basin.

This is how the packaging of the eyecream looks like after I folded it^^

This is Narcissus Total Defense Eye Essence Cream.

I love the packaging! Is so clean and I love the lavender colour very much.

 

Eyecream in the basin:

I really adore this eyecream coz it softens fine lines under my eye.

I could even see results very soon.

You just need a little bit of it, so it's very worth the money.

Also I think it was not that expensive for an eyecream.

That was one reason why I bought this too coz most eyecreams are very expensive.

I'm thinking of buying it ahead because sasa is having (again!) free shipping promotion.

The NARUKO Marjoram and Lavender Brightening Serum!

Such a nice packaging. I really really like it!! 

The bottle is of glass, so it is quite heavy for its size.

I like that because it feels like there is something good inside lol

I don't know if I like this wand thing... I would rather like tube style...

But I don't know exactly how to describe it... If you push the lid some of the essence will go into the wand.

And if you push it again you can put one drop of the essence on to your face.

I'm sorry for my bad English :-/

I folded the packaging of the Brightening Essence too.

It was fun :-)

 

The Brightening Serum is really magic! It is stated on their website as one of their star products. When I tested it I didn't use any other brightening products.

Nonetheless my face does really brighten a lot! I don't have any other products that have this brightening effect. But don't be afraid it does not turn you into a vampire XD

It makes my skin also very smooth and soft. I also love the smell! It smells a bit herbal... but only a bit. When I open it first I smelled a very nice smell. I can't figure out what, but it smelled so good lol

 

I hope you liked this review. 

If you have any questions concerning these, you can always leave me a comment^^

I always read all the comments and try to reply.

Thanks for stopping by <3
