Origins "Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream"

I love to use body creams instead of perfume.

My favourite one is the "Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream" by Origins.  

It's not only a cream it's pure joy haha!

Since I think the official website descriptes my thoughts on this cream very well I'll post it here:

When wageing battle with the elements, whether they're cold and dry or hot and humid, you can always seek shelter in this creamy cocoon. A relaxing sensation spreads all over you as tangy Ginger embraces your body while skin-nourishing Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Apricot Kernel Oil invisibly surround weary, dreary skin in softness. All the while, the citrusy-crisp scent of lush, lighthearted Lemon, Lime and Bergamot helf lift listless spirits.
There's no more savoury way to shoo your malaise.

Ginger has amazing healing skills but its scent is quite special and not the usual floral, fruity or vanilla scent you would use as a body cream. Instead it's a scent that I didn't notice elsewhere. It's an amazing comfortable scent that last for hours

You will be surprised!

The cream is lightweight and suited for all skin types. It works great after bath or shower on clean and damp skin.

From Origins:
It belongs to the Ginger Collection. The benefits of Ginger have been documented as far back a 2,000 BC. Its pungent warmth is believed to awaken vitality and ignite the body's fire. Maybe that explains why it's also been revered as a powerful aphrodisiac. It seems everyone who catches a whiff of Ginfer is instantly enticed by its arousing aroma.

Origins products are formulated with natural and certified organic ingredients and 100% natural essential oils. And formulated without parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA, and animal ingredients. We manufacture using a combination of renewable resources, wind energy and earth-friendly practices.

Did you know?

The benefits of Ginger have been documented in Chinese literature dating as far back as 2,000 BC. Its pungent warmth was believed to awaken vitality and ignite the body's fire. It was revered as "universal medicine" - prized as highly as gold and jewels.

L'OCCITANE Haul

In the past I wasn't so fond of this brand... I dunno why now...because they have amazing stuff!!

My little haul:

Btw. the shopping bag from L'Occitane is very beautiful. The colours and the motive.. so inspiring! *love*

Rose 4 Reines Bath Soap
It smells truly full of roses! The packaging is easy and nice too. Hadn't the chance to try them yet but I will tell you if they are as nice as they smell (*-`ω´- )

Rose 4 Reines Velvet Hand Cream

Since I love scent of roses in lotions this one is just the right for me. I prefer these lotions over perfumes because the scent of perfumes are often too strong for me. 

The smell of this little handcream is just amazing! AND it lasts like forever!! （＾Ｏ＾☆♪

I also enjoy the pink, wine and gold themed packaging.

I received this Pivoine Flora Shower Gel as a gift with my purchase. Horraay who doesn't love gifts right?^^

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*!! 

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...

 

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
