5th Bloganniversary & Giveaway Day 1

2. April 2018

// GIVEAWAY / BLOG / BIRTHDAY //

It’s Berries in the Snow’s 5th Bloganniversary! I can’t believe that it is 5 years ago that I started this blog. Back then, I never thought that anyone will be reading my reviews. In first line, I wanted to have a space to write down my personal experience with asian beauty products and beauty products in general that I tested myself. Shortly before I wrote my first blog post I was looking for a BB cream that would suit my skin tone, without being too heavy and clogging on my troubled skin at that point. After some online research I read my first review about a Korean BB cream from the brand Missha. I was so intrigued that I looked up more reviews for the BB cream, and finally ordered my first asian beauty product on ebay.

5th Bloganniversary

This BB cream was exactly what I was looking for, and, driven by that positive experience, I started to look for other skin care products from Missha. But it was not easy to find many English reviews at that time…and even fewer German ones. And that was the time, when I decided to write down my own very first “review”. It was not a professional one, and neither a long one, simply a “here, look at this product, and this is my impression”. Some time later I added a few more sentences and an ingredients list to the post and some other of my first reviews. When looking back at these first posts (I haven’t deleted them), they are not very informative to be honest. If you are curious, here is a link to my first review on Berries in the Snow. I sometimes thought about deleting these old posts and simply redo the reviews, but on the other hand they have a personal value to me, and they reflect the way that my blog has changed over the past years. Apart from the text, that became more informative (I hope so at least), I was also trying to improve my poor photography skills over the years. I went from “simply take a picture of the product on your desk”, to “white background and product pictures only” first. Then, I started to pay attention to social media, especially Instagram, and my mind was blown...all these pretty pictures! Flatlays were getting big on Instagram, and since my pictures were basically boring flatlays already I tried and I am still trying to improve as much as I can.

5th Bloganniversary

What did change in the 5 years for bloggers generally? In my opinion, blogging became widely accepted and known in the past years. There are people who can make their living on it, and I’m happy to see that. But, this makes it harder for small bloggers, too. If you want to be noticed, and you want that your opinion on a certain product is read and spread, it takes so much more effort than some years ago. If you get paid for your effort, you probably are more happy to do so. But most bloggers are not paid for it. They spend their free-time on advertising their writings and work. Many bloggers are utilized by brands as a (mostly cheaper) way to advertise a product. I started blogging in order to spread my honest opinion and experience on a certain product, and until now I was able to hold up to it luckily, and many of the other asian beauty bloggers I discovered throughout the years are doing the same. But yet, the amount of people who start blogging and buying a ton of followers and likes on social media channels, simply to have a higher reach and be noticed by brands, has highly increased, too. After 5 years of blogging I still do not have reached these (insane) numbers, as some ‘newer’ ones have. This makes me feel demotivated sometimes, for all the work that it put into this blog, although I know on the other hand, these are only numbers.

5th Bloganniversary

Would I like to change something in future? Of course! I think it is human to need a change once in a while. I think that many things can still be improved. I would like to write more about the ingredients, and I would like to make more professional pictures, and make my blog design more modern, too…But, as with many things in life, time is my limiting factor. Working a full-time job makes it really hard to be motivated. There are times, when my free time is so limited, that I do not want to spend it on blogging, but rather on living my life and enjoying my family and friends, and also take time for my other hobbies. Blogging started as one of my hobbies, but the more professional and perfect you want to be, the more it feels like a second job, too. And it needs a lot of attention and time!

5th Bloganniversary

A glance into the nearer future…

First of all, I want to thank YOU! You are reading my blog, maybe only stumbled upon it by chance. Some have returned to read more, and even leave comments occasionally. I’m more that happy about every single one, and therefore many thanks to everyone! I’m also very grateful for all the interaction on my social media channels. Thank you for all the likes and comments there! Also, my apologies for being always so slow on responding, although I’m trying to improve myself! In order to show how much I appreciate all of your love, likes, remarks, and critics, I want to give something back in return.

There will be a total of 5 giveaways, some will be on my blog, and some will be on my Instagram only.

// AFFILIATE LINKS / KBEAUTY / AD //

And here is another KBeauty related Black Friday offer which I cannot resist to share! This time it is about the sales at W2Beauty. I’ve been shopping at W2Beauty since I started with KBeauty in 2013 and I was always happy with shipping and communication from them. Also, since the website was relaunched it is so much more informative and easy to navigate, too. Maybe, you would like to check it out for yourself. As for my Wishtrend Black Friday Post from yesterday I included some items at the end which I recommend you to have a look at :)

W2Beauty Black Friday

And here are my product recommendations to look at:

Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream: Probably, you cannot here it any longer, but I love this jar of eye cream! It is a lot of product, and it may seem unhygienic because it is not in the tube, but that formulation is so great: rich and creamy, and yet I can apply it even on top of my lids and it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy! Plus that purple packaging! *_* You can get it  >>here<<.

SanDaWha Camellia Flower Hydrating Mist: Are you looking for a mist with few ingredients and a lovely scent of Camellia japonica Flower Extract? Then you should take a look at this mist from SanDaWha! I don’t use mists often, but I love this one! It is available >>here<<.

Tonymoly Perfect Lips Shocking Lip: A lip tint with a great color pigmentation and long-lasting stain. One of my favourite every day tints! Get it >>here<<.

Swanicoco Vita Triple Cover Swan CC Pact: The favourite cushion of mine I tried this year. It gives a beautiful finish and a nice glow! Go >>here<< to grab it!

These products have been reviewed here aswell.

Also, if you do not want to buy anything right now here is a code valid until end of the year:

berriesholiday: 30% off of Swanicoco, SanDaWha, Eclado, Cellnco, Romand, Moksha, and La Bellona products, as well as 30% off of 107 Oneoseven and Oseque, both of which will be coming soon to the W2Beauty website. Discount does not apply to sale items.

Wishtrend Black Friday Offers 2017

22. November 2017

//AFFILIATE LINKS / AD / KBEAUTY //

Did you wonder why I haven’t written any posts on the monthly Wishtrend coupons, yet? Here is the answer: there are no regular monthly coupons this month. You will probably wonder why, but on the other hand, maybe this post title already explains most of it: November is that time of the year when the huge Wishtrend Black Friday Offers and Discounts await us. And also Wishtrend has prepared some AMAZING deals. I also started to think about what items to stock up and we have still few days left to make up our minds. As I heard, yesterday the site already has been down due to the incredible amount of traffic!!!

Wishtrend Black Friday

If you don’t know Wishtrend, but love Korean or Asian cosmetics and skin care products I can recommend you to check out their online shop, especially for some of my favorite products. I will put a list at the end of all the products that I have reviewed before, and also give some recommendations on what to grab if you have the chance. Furthermore, they have really a great affiliate program for blogger and I can advice you to join it if you are one. If you know Wishtrend already: there has been a change to our shopping experience at Wishtrend, apart from the Black Friday Offers:

Drumroll………. You can now stack coupons and maximize your savings! That’s something I’m super happy about!:)

Wishtrend Black Friday
Usually, Wishtrend also has a great friends invitation program: you can receive a 5 US$ referral coupon if you are a new customer. The principle is easy as this: If you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can get 5 US$ off, which is a great to save some money on your first order. I don’t know though, if this coupon can be used during the black friday sales (I guess it cannot be used since there is already so much discount…)

Wishtrend Black Friday

Last but not least, if you do not know where to start and what to put in your card I have some recommendations for you: I selected 4 products that I enjoyed during this year, and I have reviewed all of them before and used them for a longer period of time without any regrets. Please keep in mind though, that every skin and skin type might react in a different way. My dry but yet very insensitive skin might react in another way as your skin, whether it may be dry, too, or any other skin type. If you have any questions to the products feel free to contact me (write me comments here or reach out to me via Instagram).

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water: If you do not know whether harsh chemical peelings like AHA and BHA are suited for your skin you should go for this mild chemical exfoliator containing mandelic acid. Mandelic Acid is a mild AHA, which is perfectly suited for sensitive skin types. It didn’t feel irritating at all and makes the skin texture so much more even. This is one of my favourite deals because you receive 2 bottles of this for the price of one! That makes a discount of 50%!

I’m from Ginseng Serum: This serum combines so many ingredients I love and is my favourite serum during the day. Ginseng extracts, Ginseng oil, green tea, licorice….so many great plant-based ingredients and that hanbang scent! So lovely! The serum retails for 18.72 US% instead of 28.80 US$.

By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash: I can only repeat myself and say how much I love the Matcha scent of this powder wash! It is a great exfoliator for every now and then and really great for travelling, since it comes as powder and has only to be mixed with water or toner for use. This cleanser retails for 17.20 US$ instead of 22 US$.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum: I have used three bottles of this serum and it is – hands down – still one of my all-time favourites! I love the warming sensation and the oil-like consistency of the serum and it makes the skin look more healthy and smooth than before. LOVE! You can get this for 14.95 US$ instead of 23 US$ during the Black Friday Week. Or you can get this together with the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask (which is lovely and has a wonderful cream-to-liquid consistency and acts brightening) for 30 US$ instead of 50 US$.

I hope that these quick last minute-recommendations will help you to decide what to buy during Black Friday on Wishtrend. As promised at the beginning, here are finally the reviews for products available on Wishtrend that I did in the past. You might like to check these out, if you are interested in purchasing these.

Sudio Vasa Blå

22. October 2017

// PR SAMPLE / STYLE / FASHION //

Music is fix part of my daily life. It accompanies me during most of my free time by listening to it at home, or going out on a concert or dancing. Even if you go to shopping at the mall you will hear music inside the stores. It really surrounds us most of the time. Yet, we all have a different taste of music and usually I don’t want to be disturbed by other people’s music early in the morning going by train to work, and probably they don’t want to be disturbed by my music either :D The key to enjoy your favourite music while on the road are definitely good headphones. Today, I want to show you my beloved in-ear headphones Sudio Vasa Blå:

Sudio Vasa Blå

“Ah, music,” he said, wiping his eyes. “A magic beyond all we do here!”
(J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone)

 

Sudio Vasa Blå

Sudio is a swedish company that offers designer headphones that combine timeless elegance and good quality sound. They offer 6 different types of headphones, both Bluetooth and regular headphones and all of them come in different colors, reaching from classic black and white to pink, red and blue. All of the headphones look very stylish and suit both female and male customers.

Sudio Vasa Blå

Almost a year ago I received the Sudio Vasa Blå headphones. I decided for the white colored bluetooth and in-ear headphones because I loved the rose-gold details of the headphones and I never tried bluetooth headphones before. I tested these really thoroughly together with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed using these headphones during this time, and even now.

Sudio Vasa Blå

The first thing that was a pleasant surprise when I received the headphones was the equipment which came together with the headphones: Of course a manual, USB-wire, and different sizes for the earphone in-ear plug had to be offered, but it also included a leather case and a cable clip. I really like the fact that it comes with 4 different additional sizes for the in-ear plug. Usually, when I’m using in-ear headphones I use the smallest or the middle size and yet they keep falling off. This was the size which is in-between and it keeps staying in my ear all time.

Sudio Vasa Blå

The leather case and the cable clip are also perfect for taking these headphones outside. First I though I would not use the clip, but actually I did and it really helped to not lose my headphones during hectic train changes :D I’m using an android phone, but my boyfriend has an iPhone. Neither of us experienced problems while trying to connect the headphones to our mobiles. It was also very easy to connect the Sudio Vasa Blå to my laptop.

Sudio Vasa Blå

Since my boyfriend plays music himself and has some experience with sound quality I really trusted his opinion for the headphones. That resulted in the fact that I didn’t see my headphones for several months because he was keeping them all the time. Finally, his verdict was, that the Sudio Vasa Blå are great for listening to pop music, for example. It has especially good bass frequencies and heights and are much better in quality than his regular mobile headphones. 

Sudio Vasa Blå

The Sudio Vasa Blå last for up to 8 hours when charged fully, and also charging is done super quickly. There are two opinions for charging: quick charge in 10 minutes or full charge in 120 mines. In stand-by they are supposed to last up to 10 days. The bluetooth used is 4.1 and it has a reach of up to 10 meters. Remote and microphone are part of the headphone cable, which is made from sweat-proof material. Although it has a white color and we were carrying it around almost everywhere it still looks pretty good.

Sudio Vasa Blå

My boyfriend and mine thorough test of the Sudio Vasa Blå convinced us about the quality of these headphones. They are not only pretty and stylish to look at, but they also offer a good sound quality and are comfortable to wear and use. If our experience made you curious about Sudiosweden and their headphones you can use the coupon code misslaven15 to get 15% off your order. The Sudio Headphones here retail for 89€.

Have you used Blutooth headphones? Let me know what you think about the Sudio Vasa Blå!

Just as a short reminder: All products mentioned and reviewed on this blog are of my personal opinions. This product here was sent to me for reviewing purpose by https://www.sudiosweden.com/ which doesn’t influence me in providing my honest opinion on the products.

Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag

I must say it was really packed heavily! There were 16 items included in total! Many of them were seperately packed in plastic bags.

There were items included reaching from charms, plushs, keyschains to accessoiries and everything came in a pink canvas bag.

Cuteness overload!

Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag

I can say that I love the idea of mixed surprise bags. Especially, they make a beautiful gift for people loving stuff like this. I personally would love to try the plush bag, stationary bag or the japanese magazine. The bags retail for 16.90 US$, except for the sticker bag (11.90 US$) and the magazine bag (36.90 US$). While browsing Blippo it is not hard to find some cute things to like if you love kawaii things. Blippo offer stuff from Japan like Magazines and Candy and Snacks, but also a lot of stationary items and character items from Hello Kitty, San-X (like Rillakkuma, Sentimental Circus, Gloomy Bear…), and Ghibli. They have also some fashion items, like bags and purses and cute accessories. They offers free shipping, too! 

And now you have the chance to win a Blippo Surprise Kawaii Mixed Bag yourself by entering in the widget below. The giveaway is sponsored by Blippo and they will also randomly pick the winner and ship out the prize. The giveaway is open internationally! Good luck everybody!

Wishtrend Coupons July 2017

7. July 2017

/ AFFILIATE LINKS / AD /

The last time I posted vouchers from Wishtrend was in October! I’m shocked! Okay, first of all they didn’t have coupons for some time, then they started to add coupons again and I was too busy with writing posts and taking pictures and working my regular full-time job. If you don’t know Wishtrend, but love Korean or Asian cosmetics and skin care products I can recommend you to check out their online shop, especially for some of my favorite products, e.g. the O.S.T. Vitamin C Serum,  Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C serum or the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule ToneAlso, they have listed brands like COSRX, Klairs and Mizon. You can find a list of all the products I reviewed from Wishtrend at the bottom of this post. Furthermore, they have really a great affiliate program for blogger and I can advice you to join it if you are one. So here we go:

Wishtrend Coupons

There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can get 5 US$ off, which is a great to save some money on your first order.

  • Coupon Code: WISHINJUL

Another newly launched product which I’m currently trying is the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop. This watery serum reminds me more of a first essence, and also has to be applied early in the skincare routine. It has a light blue color and contains peptides, blueberry fruit extract and guaiazulene.

Some other new launches which are recommendable are the COSRX PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream (I did a first impression review on my Instagram Acccount) and the most adorable crown head band.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

23. April 2017

// PR SAMPLE / ACCESSOIRES //

Today’s post will be about a customized mobile case from GoCustumized. I decided to write the post in German since the products are directed mainly towards German customers, but shipping to other countries is possible, too.If you want to know any details to the below products, please feel free to ask in the comments below. I’ll be happy to answer your questions :)

Ich bin schon längere Zeit unzufrieden mit meiner Hartschalenhülle für mein Handy gewesen und war aber immer sehr unentschlossen was für eine neue Hülle für mich geeignet wäre. Daher kam es mir sehr recht, dass ich die Möglichkeit erhalten habe mir eine eigene Handyhülle von GoCustomized zusammen zustellen und euch vorzustellen. Ich bin super zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis und hier könnt ihr sehen für was für eine Hülle ich mich jetzt entschieden habe:

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

Bei GoCustomized kann man Handyhülle selbst gestalten und dazu werden zahlreiche Hüllen für verschiedene Handymodelle angeboten. Da ich selber eine Samsung Galaxy S6 besitze war es mir wichtig, dass bei einem Anbieter für Handyhüllen auch viele Handymodelle bedient werden. Bei GoCustumized findet man neben Hüllen für iPhone und Samsung auch noch weitere Anbieter, wie HTC, Huawai, LG und Sony. Es gibt die Möglichkeit zwischen verschiedenen Hüllentypen zu entscheiden, wie zum Beispiel Silikonhülle, Hardcase, Flipcase, Lederhülle, und sogar Holzhülle. Dann kann man sich außerdem aussuchen, ob man eines der vorhandenen Motive wählt. oder ein eigenes Foto oder Design verwenden möchte. Ich finde es super, dass so viele Möglichkeiten gegeben sind. Am liebsten hätte ich ein eigens gestaltetes Motiv verwendet, aber da ich aufgrund der Arbeit sehr viel um die Ohren hatte bin ich in der vorhandenen Motiv-Datenbank fündig geworden und habe genau ein Motiv gefunden was meinem Geschmack entsprochen hat.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

Das Gestalten und Aussuchen der Handyhülle geht problemlos und sehr selbsterklärend von statten, und wenn man sich erst einmal für eine Hülle entschieden hat wird diese auch schnellstmöglich bearbeitet und verschickt. Nach spätestens drei Tagen erfolgt der Versand. Meine Hülle kam nach exakt 3 Tagen bei mir an.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

Und hier ist die fertige Silikonhülle für die ich mich entschieden habe. Ich wollte gerne ein Blättermotiv verwenden, weil ich momentan ziemlich verliebt in Monstera-Pflanzen bin. Die Hülle passt auch perfekt zum Sommer und zur Urlaubszeit vom Motiv her. Davor hatte ich eine Hardcase-Hülle, die mein Handy aber nur riesig aussehen lassen hat. Mit der Silikonhülle wird das Handy kaum dicker als ohne, ist aber dabei dank der griffigeren Rückseite der Hülle besser in der Hand zu halten als vorher.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

Das neue Design für das Samsung Galaxy S6 lässt mein Handy auch wieder im neuen Glanz erstrahlen. Ich bin total begeistert was so ein Hüllenwechsel bewirken kann. Vielleicht sollte ich öfter mal die Handyhülle tauschen um diesen Effekt auszulösen.

Handyhülle von GoCustomized

Eine Handyhülle von GoCustomized aus Silikon kostet 14.99 € zuzüglich Versand (Standardversand liegt bei 2.39 €). Ich finde der Preis ist fair für die zum einen gute Verarbeitung und zum anderen für die Schnelligkeit der Lieferung. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit meiner neuen Handyhülle und kann jedem der von seinem Handy gelangweilt ist nur empfehlen sich auch einmal eine neue Hülle zuzulegen.

Was haltet ihr von meiner neuen Handyhülle von GoCustomized?
