Yves Rocher Body Oil with oat extract

Yves Rocher Body Oil with oat extract

by Rosalie

 

 

Hi Lovelies,
just in case you didn't know, Violetta and me we adopted a cat. SO in my last post I wrote that we were thinking about adopting one but now he is living with us for one week already. We adopted a cute old male cat, he is around 13 or 14 years old. He loves to cuddle and his fur is so amazingly long and fluffy. Just tell me if you want to see some pictures of him, I would love to share them with you! <33

Anyway, just today morning it started to snow again and last friday was the opening ceremony of the olympic games in South Korea in Pyeonchang. I have watched the ceremony and I loved it. But that again showed me that winter isnt gone and we will be having some cold days waiting for us. So Skincare is important but not only on faceskin, it is also really important to keep the whole body skin moisturized. To be honest most of the time I am way to lazy to really put on some bodylotion or oil but nethertheless I have some products I want to share with you that kind of help me with my dry skin.

I think Yves Rocher Products are always good to my skin, especially the ones for my skin. The best handcreams I have are from Yves Rocher and also the best bodylotions.
So I want to introduce you to a bodyoil from Yves Rocher I have used for a while now. In german it is called the "2 Phasen Pflegeöl mit Haferextrakt für sehr trockene Haut", but I cant find the exact english name. My translation would be :2 phrases moisturizing bodyoil for dry skin with oat extract.
I also searched online at the ves Rocher online shop but I couldn't find this product but I don't think that I have bought it long ago. Strange...... 

BRAND: YVES ROCHER

TYPE OF PRODUCT: BODYOIL

WHERE TO BUY: ONLINESHOP OR REGULAR YR SHOP

PRICE: $10

VOLUME: 100ml

The design of the bottle is neat but nothing special I guess. Like it is handy because you simply spray on the product onto your body and rub the product onto your skin.

The product is a two phrase product wich means you have to shake it before you can use it.

The product contains oat extract and it also has a strong smell of it. It is not like I dont like it but I like some flowery or sweet scents much more. I have bought the product mainly because my legs are super dry and with shaving it is really bad. 

On thes super dry parts the product is really good. It is a body oil no a bodylotion so at least it should be a bit more moisturizing. And I guess thats why after like 5 to 10 minutes I still can feel this oily consistency onto my skin. It is ok because it feels like my skin is protected from loosing any moisture but with my legs always beeing dry it feels kind of uncompfortable for me. But I guess it is only because it is the absolute difference from my normal feeling. I also don't use the product every day. In winter it is nice to use it but it is also good in summer time, my legs need to be shaved every day to look good and without long trousers on my legs but with a short summer dress the legs feel good, too.

So regardless to the scent I think this body oil is really nice t my skin and easy to apply. Also it is easy to transport if you tarvel and need this extra moisture because of other water quality (My skin always struggle with different water qualities and gets dry or irritadet.).

I hope this review was helpfull for you an if you still have any questions please feel free to ask me! <3

the body shop "rainforest moisture hair butter for dry hair"

the body shop "rainforest moisture hair butter for dry hair"

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
when I am in a different town wich is bigger than my hometown I always am searching for a "the body shop" shop. (sounds bad hahaha, but I guess this is the right way to call it!) And a while ago I buyed a hair butter at this shop and now I wanna share  this with you! <3

 

 

BRAND: THE BODY SHOP

:PRICE: AROUND 3€

TYPE OF PRODUCT: HAIR BUTTER

VOLUME: 50ml

 

Originally it is called the "rainforest moisture", I mean OMG how awesome this sounds!
The design is also tropical and gives a fresh feeling.
I got the travel packaging, but they also sell a bigger pot of this as I knew. I got this tiny thing (50ml) for around 3 €. 

As I opened the bottle I got a smell and I couldn't say if I liked it at first or not. It is refreshing, tropic (at least as tropic a hair butter can be) with some flowery undertone.

The hair butter itself is white. To put it out I have to use my hands and on the shower I think it is a bit hard to get the right amount. I use this product only for the tips of my hair, because this is the most dry part. I massage it into my hair tips and leafe it in for one minute. As I wash it out I can feel how soft the hair get's on the part's where I have used it. It aslo leafes a nice smell after it and goes well with my shampoo because it is not to dominant.


So all in all I think this is a super nice product, especially for a traveling, to take care of your hair. When I am out in the sun my hair always gets dry. On vacations I have the most sun time of the year shining on my hair and with a nice moisturizer for my hair it is really helpfull. Because of this small packaging you might have enough space in your back left to bring it with you.

I hope this review was helpfull for you and if you have some questions please feel free to ask.

I also would be really happy if you follow us on facebook and twitter to never leaf a new review out! <33   
 

Etude House "Moistfull Collagen Foundation"

Etude House "Moistfull Collagen Foundation"

by Rosalie

Hi Lovelys,
lately the make up industry came up with many new cushion products, I have seen blusher cushions, lip tints as cushions and of course the famous korean brands came out with some new cushion foundations as Etude House did.

One of these new cushions is the "Moistfull Collagen Foundation" and comes in the range of the moistfull collagen products with cream, essence facemist and more. I have tried some of these product's and that was why I wanted to try out this foundation! *__*

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

TYPE OF PRODUCT: (CUSHION) FOUNDATION 

VOLUME: 14g

SHADE: #2

PRICE: $22

WHERE TO BUY: (click for link)  

I bought the product at the Etude House Global store. 

In the following you can find some pictures of the product.

 

new cushion (left) and used one (right)

All seperated pieces, as usual it's possible to buy a refiller...

The interesting thing about this cushion foundation is, that I am correctly wrong if I say it's a cushion, since there is just the make up but no sponge/cushiony thing where the makeup layes in. So at first it was strange to use it with the cushion sponge. In the end I prefer to use the product with a makeup egg :D but using the sponge is still troublesome for me.

I was curious if this cushion and the "Precious mineral cushion" are alike from the case. (Like if you have already a case you just need to buy the refiller and not the full product if you want to save some money...) So in the following you can see some pictures with both cushion cases.

You can see that there are some differences, so the "precious mineral any cushion" or the "powder cushion" can't fit in this "moistfull collagen" case. I think that's a bit sad that I am not able to put every refiller in every cushion case but what can I do?! :D

I got the color #2 natural beige, I always choose this colour so I thought this might be good but it is a bit darker than the other cushion colours. So for my skin tone I should have choosen the lightest out of 3 colours.

In the following you can see it's colour and the coverage.
I think the coverage is ok fo0r a foundation but it's not the best.
Since it is supposed to be a "MOISTFULL COLLAGEN" it's not soooooo moisturizing, a bit sad... It's not like it makes my skin dry but it doesn't moisturize it, too.

advantages:
-foundation in a cushion, always handy (mirror, sponge, small packaging)
-refiller are available
-pretty packaging
-no smell


disadvantages:
- for me it's troublesome to use the sponge
-only 3 colours, coloursystem is different from the other foundations
-not moisturizing (as supposed??)
-refiller from other cushion's doesn't fit in the case



 All in all I think this is really a interesting product and if you are curious like me just try it out, don't be shocked on the disadvantages, I like the product in general so you can give it a try.

So I hope this review is helpfull for you.

esfolio "Moisture Soothing Gel Aloe Vera 100%"

esfolio "Moisture Soothing Gel Aloe Vera 100%"

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
same as last time I want to write about a product, wich contains aloe vera extract. It's the esfolio moisture soothing gel in aloe vera. The brand also came out with a snail gel one but since I think that snail gel and cream (and beautyproducts in general) are disgusting (yep, in Germany it is pretty unnormal to use snail beauty products).

I got this big pot within a beauty box from www.beauteque.com but since I got this a while ago they didn't sell the product only on the webside so I can't tell you the original price of the product. Sry for that... :(
Ânyway, I remember this product to be selled around $8 to $10, something like this.

BRAND: ESFOLIO

VOLUME: 300ML

TYPE OF PRODUCT: MOISTURE GEL

 In the following pictures you can see pictures from the product.

Somehow I think this gel looks amazingly cool! :D

When I put this gel onto my skin it feels super refreshing and cooling, wich is really great in summertime. 

When I first used this product I was really shocked how long I had to wait for my skin to fully absorb the gel. My skin is oily but also very dry so normally my skin would absorb moisturizing products really fast. At first I thought that this is really bad but right now I am doing skin massages really often because I feel my face to be really stressed. With a massage the product can absorb fully and my skin can feel super nice and soft. Also the smell is really nice. But I also have to say that this gel isn't as moisturizing as other (aloe vera) products are. So this can't replace a moisturizing cream fully.


advantages:
-great for skin massage
-cooling and refreshing in summer
-low price
-nice scent


disadvantages:
-the moisturizing effect is low
-I really dk where to buy it right now!!
-my skin doesn't absorb the product fast


so all in all if you want a nice cooling gel in summer or a product for skin massage I highly recommend this product. But if you are searching for a rich moisturizing product you should search for something different.

I hope this review was helpfull for you.

Nature Republic "Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist"

Nature Republic "Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist"

by Rosalie

Hi my Lovelies,
winter days are really hard for my skin and I am really happy (for my skin!!) that these days are nearly over. Normally I don't have dry skin but in cold winter days I have problems with that.
When my skin was super dry I was so happy that I had this mist on my side. I was using it since summer but in winter it was really great!! 

BRAND: NATURE REPUBLIC

 PRICE: $ 9

VOLUME: 150 ml

TYPE OF PRODUCT: FACE MIST

WHERE TO BUY: JOLSE.COM

 

After a long day of work I was removing my makeup and after I was using the mist every day. It's suuuuper moisturizing and makes my skin feels super soft.
Plus: I apply my moisturizer or sleeping mask before I go to bed but after removing my makeupo there are some hours to "kill" between. With this mist it was no problem. And it has really a nice smell. I am loving it. Right now my mist is empty and I have ordered the same one again (still waiting for it to arrive!! <3)!

So if you are searching for a nice moisturizing product, this mist is really something you should try out! Me and my sister we both are in love!

I hope this review was helpfull for you.

ETUDE HOUSE "Pink Vital Water Serum"

ETUDE HOUSE "Pink Vital Water SERUM"

by Violetta

Hey Loveliez and makeup junkies! Nice to see you!

Today I wanted to share with you one product of the Pink Bird Box October, the ETUDE HOUSE "Pink Vital Water SERUM".

Since I was able to test out this product before already, I´m able to give you a very certain and detailed review. ^^





First of all, the  

DETAILS:

VOLUME: 80 ml

TYPE OF PRODUCT: FACE SERUM

WHERE TO GET IT?: official ETUDE HOUSE global store

PRICE: $20.40

ETUDE HOUSE made a whole collection with this "Pink Peach Water" ingredience. There are e.g. a toner, an emulsion, a cream, a wash pack and more.

The white creamy texture turns into more watery when you apply it onto the skin. This way you don´t need to much product to fully cover your face and your skin absorbs the product really fast and easily. I really love it´s fresh and peachy scent.

The serum should deliver moisture to your skin in addition to revitalize it. Since it is not a moisturizing cream, I personally think replacement for a moisturizing cream, at least not for my skin, but if a cream feels to heavy for you, this might be a good product.

I personally love to use the product directly after cleansing my face.

I´m always trying to remove my makeup directly after I got home from work to not let the dust of the whole day and my makeup stuck into my pores. But I´m not going under the shower directly after that, so I love to use this product. I´m applying a moisturizing cream after showering.

Since it´s better for your skin to remove your makeup before sports, I also use this product after cleansing.

In any case, my face feels really nice moisturized and not sticky at all, since the texture turns watery on the skin.

In addition to that, I love the container. It looks so cute and also really modern. I like the pink colour course. Somehow that makes it look like a little milk bottle to me. ^^


ALL IN ALL

In the end I have to say, that this product really is wonderful, but really expensive. I´m not sure till now if I would buy it for the full price, because this really is a point for me. But if money isn´t an important point for you as it is for me, I would definitelly buy it. :3






Thank you for reading this post. I hope you liked it. Please let me know in the comments what you think about this product and the whole collection. I´m curious.

"Pink Vital Water SERUM"

full review: http://twinblogg95.blogspot.de/2016/11/etude-house-pink-vital-water-serum.html

This Serum is supposed to revitalize and moisturize your skin without a sticky feeling.

I tryed this one before so I could say that the texture is really great. The smell is really nice and the moisturizing effect doesn´t replace a moisturizing cream for me, but I love to use it directly after cleansing my face after work (to care for my skin in the time gap betweet "after work" and showering, or after removing the makeup before sports). I realized that if I don´t clean my skin right after I come home, my skin is turning really bad and I get more pimples and such stuff. Because I shower so late, that if I wouldn´t clean my skin on time, my makeup would be way to long on my skin.
And if you may know, you should remove your makeup before sports, because if your body get´s warmed up, your pores are opening and all the dust od the day in addition to the makeup on your face is going into them.

 So for all this, the Serum is a really really nice product. ^^

You can get this product at the official ETUDE HOUSE online store for $20,40.


ETUDE HOUSE made a whole collection with this "Pink Peach Water" ingredience. (Just to let you know) ~

"Dear My Enamel EYES-Talk"

If you read our last Pink Bird Box haul, you may know that we got the "Dear My Enamel LIPS-Talk" in september. If not, you are pleased to check out this post. :3

full review: http://twinblogg95.blogspot.de/2016/11/etude-house-dear-my-enamel-eyes-talk.html

These, well, I would call them cream shadows, are enveloped in  addition with the lipsticks.

However, these eyeshadows are not powdery, but really creamy. I personally think you can ONLY apply them with your fingers, which could be a little problem for those of you, who are not used to apply eyeshadow with the fingers (like me). So this needs a bit practise, but they´re really colourintense and easy to blend, so don´t worry about that to much.


These eyeshadows are available on the ETUDE HOUSE global online store in 12 different shades and 3 textures, $8,50 each.











And at last, the ominous

MASK PATCHES *.*

full review: http://twinblogg95.blogspot.de/2016/11/masks-masks-masks.html

ETUDE HOUSE send us 5 different mask patches of their latest collection.

The design is so cute, theyr mascot cat ETTIE is on each in a different pose, trying to use the patches to improve her skin. So adorable.

All in all, ETUDE HOUSE offers 9 different patches, some for moisturizing, some for cleasing or recurring.

You can get them on the ETUDE HOUSE global online store for around $3 each.








Waaaaa! We are at the end of this haul already. Thank you for reading. Please tell us what you thing about our post and / or about the products themselfes. We are curious and always happy to read your comments. ^^
