Review: A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream | TesterKorea Beauty Tester

3. October 2018

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / SKINCARE //

I received a few items from TesterKorea within the frame of their Beauty Tester Event. This one was the only skincare related product within the bundle I received, the A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream! Tea and water sound definitely like my cup of tea XD ! This gel cream uses green tea extract and comes packed with a lot of moisture and can be used as a regular moisturizer or as a sleeping mask!

First, some information about TesterKorea: if you know me and my blog for some time you will know that TesterKorea is my favorite online retailer for larger KBeauty hauls. I’ve purchased products from them many times and they never failed me. Also, they are quite popular for offering many free samples and having a LARGE variety of samples for sale as well. If you do not know a specific product and you want to test it I can recommend you TesterKorea. Also, they have a huge amount of different products from many brands, so you can be sure to find what you are looking for in most cases. Unlike other online retailers they do not offer free shipping, though, but their shipping is based on weight. The cheap prices of the products themselves totally balances out the shipping costs in my eyes – especially for larger hauls. They even have a specific topic where you can request a product if it is newly launched. They are also quite fast in listing the latest products from most brands. Considering the fact that I know they are a reliable retailer and have a good reputation makes me even more happy that I’m part of their new Beauty Tester round-up.

A;T Fox is not the most famous KBeauty brand, but it has a good reputation and some really cute designs, too. I had 3 cupcake shaped creams back in the days of the MeMeBox craze, and I loved the tiny cute jars! The brand has a lot of products containing tea, btw!

The jar of A;T Foc Tea Toc Water Cream comes in a cardboard box. Both have a very cute design with leaves and green colors, which fit great with the key ingredient green tea. Also, look at the beautifully illustrated lid of the jar! It looks very pretty!

The ingredients of the A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream are listed below:

Water, Isopentyldiol, Glycerin, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Allantoin, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Disodium EDTA, Benzyl Glycol, Butoxydiglycol, Raspberry Ketone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance

According to SkinCarisma, the cream is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free and silicone-free! There are also a bunch of plant-based extracts, like green tea, Centella, licorice, aloe, rosemary, and chamomile! All these plant-based extracts come with notable properties for skin care. As you might know, Licorice is good for fighting acne because of its anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, it has brightening properties. Centella has wound-healing properties and acts soothing and is one of my favorite ingredients atm (check out other products containing Centella Asiatica >>here<<). Aloe, chamomile, and allantoin all have soothing properties, too, and help with moisturizing the skin.

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream comes in a big jar containing 100ml of the gel-type moisturizer. It comes with a spatula for keeping the jar as hygienic as possible, which is important for big product sizes in my eyes.The gel texture feels cooling and refreshing, which I always love about products with that kind of texture. The plant-based extracts even promote this freshness and cooling effect!

The gel melts into water while applying it and has a pleasant fresh scent, that is not overpowering. It absorbs very quickly and soaks into the skin without leaving greasiness or a sticky after effect. I love the way that it feels like nothing on the skin! This makes the cream also a great sleeping mask! Usually, for daily use, I would use a good dollop of the cream to apply all over my face. When using this as a sleeping mask I simply take the double amount and apply it. It feels so refreshing! Since there is no trace or film I can imagine that the product is even great for all skin types. It may not be nourishing enough for very dehydrated skin types though who prefer heavy creams.

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream is a nice 2 in 1 product that can be used as a daily moisturizer, but also as a sleeping pack. It has refreshing and cooling properties and the soothing effects of the plant extracts make it great for sensitive and irritated skin types. It may be not rich enough for very dehydrated and dry skin types seeking more nourishment, but I can imagine that this is a great moisturizer for hot and humid weather. If you like lightweight moisturizers that don’t leave a film or trace and are simply absorbed you will love this!

The A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Cream retails for 14400Won at TesterKorea, which makes around 14 US$.

Do you prefer gel type ord cream type moisturizers? Are you familiar with A;T Fox?

asian cosmetics beauty Erborian PR Sample review

Review: Erborian Matte Crème

26. September 2018

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / MAKEUP //

I’m very excited to share this review with you today: It’s about the Erborian Matte Crème! There are two reasons for my excitement: First, it’s my first review for the brand Erborian, second, I’ve been using this a lot during summer and loving it, and thirdly, I was introduced to this wonderful product during a Launching Event in Cologne in Summer, which was such a lovely and nicely organized event that I still have a lot of positive memories of it. Thank you, Erborian & YBPN for the opportunity and for providing me with this product as PR sample.

“Achieve perfect skin with simple and unique products, that’s Erborian’s mission.”

Erborian is a Kbeauty brand based in France and Korea. Co-founder Katalin Berenyi discovered during a visit in South Korea that Korean Women had a very clear and good skin and she learned about Korean beauty rituals and brought them to Europe, founding the brand Erborian together with Hojung Lee, a Korean scientist with a passion for beauty. Erborian adapts Asian skincare expertise to beauty rituals around the world, creating a variety of unique and effective skincare and makeup products.

As said before, I had the honour to attend a launching event for the Erborian Matte Crème earlier this summer. The event was organized byYBPN and Erborian Germany and we were able to try out various products from Erborian, and we were introduced to the new Matte Crème. This 5-in-1 product is a mattifying face cream with a blurring effect. It evens out the complexion and mattifies the skin using White Water Lily extract from Korea. The five properties of the Erborian Matte Crème are:

Blur the appearance of pores and imperfections with a soft-focus effect
Even out skin tone and give an ultra-matte finish
Refine skin’s texture
Maintain skin’s barrier function to hold in moisture
5. mattify to prepare skin for makeup

The Matte Crème can thereby be used before makeup, or to touch up throughout the day!

It was so fun to take the pictures for the review because the Erborian Matte Crème was packed in a fun superhero-themed box. I loved the packaging so much and I took thousands of pictures, but I only selected some here :D

The colorful box revealed the original product packaging in the signature color: pale blue.

The Erborian Matte Crème comes in a sleek tube containing 45 ml of product.

The ingredients of the mattifying cream are listed as below:

Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Water, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Trihydroxystearin, Silica, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Isononyl Isononanoate, Trisiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Alcohol, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Mica, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Linalool, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol, Limonene, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Ferric Ferrocyanide

The product is free of parabens, sulfates, and fungal acne safe according to Skincarisma. It does contain silicones and alcohol though. The key ingredients are White Water Lily Extract (Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract) for anti-oxidants and hydration, and silica powder for the mattifying effect. The product also contains Titanium Dioxide for UV protection, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), and Butylene Glycol for hydration.

During the Launch Event, we tested this cream in a special way, which was fun and very interesting at the same time: Everyone received a touch-up of their makeup using the Erborian Matte Crème. Then we had a collective yoga session of 60 minutes. The yoga session was really exhausting, and not easy either, and to be honest, I was not prepared to get that much of exercise on this day :D By the end of the session I thought my whole makeup has melted off already! Surprisingly, a look in the mirror revealed that the Erborain Matte Crème really held up to its claims and our skin was still matte and not sweaty at all. I was pretty much amazed and happy!

The cream has a pale blue color and a balm-type texture. It feels light and hydrating upon application and has a pleasant and nice scent.

The cream pretty much dissolves to nothing and doesn’t leave a film or any type of greasiness. It is super lightweight and apart from the scent non-existent on the skin. The skin looks matte and fresh!

I used the cream quite often this summer and it had been really a lifesaver during the hot days. I especially love that it can be used on top of your makeup as well! If you are looking for a mattifying cream I can very much recommend you the Erborian Matte Crème!

You can buy the Erborian Matte Crème at various places:

Parfuemerie.de for 40.50 € (45ml) and 18.50 € (15ml)

Erborian (US site) for 42.00 US$ (45ml)

Erborian (France) for 36.90 € (45ml) and 16.40 € (15ml)

Amazon.de for 42.42 € (45ml)

Amazon.com for 42.36 US$ (45ml)

Have you heard of Erborian? I have some more products of the brand to share with you and I hope you are as much excited as I am!

beauty beauty boxes PR Sample Rossmann

Unboxing: Schön Für Mich Box August 2018

25. September 2018

// PR SAMPLE / UNBOXING / BEAUTY //

Today's post will be about a PR Sample Box from Rossmann. I decided to write the post in German since this box is directed towards German customers. But if you want to know any details to any of the below products, please feel free to ask in the comments below. I'll be happy to answer your questions :)

Ich bin zwar spät dran mit diesem Unboxing, aber ich wollte euch trotzdem noch schnell den Inhalt der Schön Für Mich Box August 2018 zeigen, bevor der Monat vorbei ist. Vielen Dank an Rossmann für das PR Sample ihrer Beauty Box an der Stelle.

Die Schön Für Mich Box ist eine limitierte Beauty Box von der Drogeriekette Rossmann und erscheint monatlich. Sie ist gefüllt mit Produktneuheiten aus dem Sortiment von Rossmann, und ist für sehr erschwingliche 5 Euro erhältlich. Um eine der begehrten Boxen zu erhalten muss man an einem Gewinnspiel teilnehmen, bei dem 5000 Gewinner ausgewählt werden, die die Box dann zu dem Preis erhalten.

Wie bei den bisherigen Boxen auch, sind die Produkte aus der Box immer der jeweiligen Jahreszeit und dem Monat angepasst. Wie bei der Juli Box geht es auch hier um den Sommer! Die Box kommt daher auch mit dem selben Design der Juli Box und macht Dank der Palmen Urlaubsstimmung. Abgesehen von den Produkten enthält jede Box eine Broschüre mit der Beschreibung zu den Produkten und Gutscheinen für Rabatt auf einige der beigefügten Produkte, falls man das Produkt nachkaufen möchte. Das finde ich wirklich toll an der Box allgemein.

Die Schön Für Mich Box August 2018 enthält diesmal ganze 10 verschieden Produkte und ist wieder mal bis zum Rand gefüllt. Es sind sowohl Pflegeprodukte für den Körper, aber auch Makeup enthalten und bringen viel Abwechslung in den Inhalt der Box.

Head & Shoulders Supreme Feuchtigkeit Anti-Schuppen Shampoo

Dieses Anti-Schuppen Shampoo enthalt Arganöl und ist besonders Feuchtigkeitsspendet. Zusatzlich wirkt es gegen Schuppen. Das Shampoo wurde speziell für Frauen entwickelt und ist auf deren Bedürfnisse abgestimmt.

Wilkinson Intuition Fab

Diesen cleveren Rasierer von Wilkinson habe ich schon vor der Box in Verwendung gehabt. Er hat 5 beidseitig ausgerichtete Klingen und kann somit in beide Richtungen rasieren.

Frei Öl Deobalsam

Ich hatte schon lange kein Roll-On Deo mehr in benutzung, aber dieses Deo ohne Aluminiumsalze gefällt mir sehr gut. Es ist sanft und enthält Salbeiöl und Schachtelhalm Extrakt und wirkt so antitranspirant. Zusätzlich enthält es einen anto-bakteriell wirksamen Zink-Komplex.

Wingbrush Starter Set

Ich habe diese Zahnzwsichenraumbürste noch nicht ausprobiert, aber ich bin schon gepsannt darauf. Angeblich geht so die Pflege für die Zahnzwischenräume besonders schnell und trotzdem sanft.

Lacalut White & Repair

Diese Zahnpoasta hat eine spezielle Wirkstoffkombination die die Zähne pflegt und Remineralisiert und trotzdem die Zähne aufhellt. Geschmacklich ist sie schonmal sehr mild und angenehm.

Enerbio Fruchtriegel Kokos

Kokos ist immer perfekt für den Sommer und bringt zusaätzlkiche Urlaubsstimmung.Und für zwischendurch und unterwegs sind solche Riegel auch perfekt!

Max Factor Colour Elixir Cushion

Diese neue Lippenpflege von Max Factor kombiniert Vitamin E, hochwertige Öle und Candelillawachs zur Pflege der Lippen mit sanften Farbpigmenten.Die Farbintensität kann dabei durch mehrmaliges auftragen sogar noch gesteigert werden. Und Dank des soft-Touch-Prazisions-Applikators ist er perfekt für unterwegs und kann auch ohne Spiegel aufgetragen werden.

Revlon Volumazing Mascara Blackest Black

Auf diesen Mascara freue ich mich besonders. Eine cremige Formulierung mit pflegenden Wachsen sollen dramatisches Volumen schenken ohne zu verwischen oder zu verklumpen. Zusätzlich wird 24 Stunden Halt versprochen. Der wird bei mir als nächstes getestet!

Alterra Rainbow Highlighter

Der Alterra Rainbow Highlighter kommt nicht nur mit der gewohnten Naturkosmetik-Qualität daher, sondern enthält auch noch Bio-Hibiskus, Bio-Holunder, und Bio-Passions-Blumenextrakt für einen zarten Glow in Regenbogenfarben.

Rival De Loop Ultra Gel Nail Colour

Diese Nagellack Formel soll einen Plumping Effekt haben und so Volumen verleihen. Dazu kommt hohe Deckkraft und ein angesagter 3D Finish im Gel-Look.

Wie findet ihr den Inhalt der Schön Für Mich Box August 2018? Einige Produkte habe ich schon in Verwendung, wie das Deo, Shampoo, den Rasierer, und die Zahnpasta. Ich freue mich aber auch schon die Zahnzwischenraumbürste zu testen und auf den Mascara von Revlon freue ich mich auch. Nagellack, Lippenpflege und der Rainbow Blush werde ich wohl nicht verwenden, weil ich davon schon genug selber in Verwendung habe. Trotzdem ist für mich die Schön Für Mich Box immer noch eine sehr günstige und schöne Alternative zu anderen Beauty Boxen zu einem unschlagbaren Preis!

asian cosmetics beauty Beautytap PR Sample review

Review: Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule

17. September 2018

// KBEAUTY / PR SAMPLE / AFFILIATE LINKS //

I’m always very attracted towards skincare products containing milk, probably due to the picture in my head of the famous ancient Cleopatra bathing in milk for her beautifying rituals. The Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule was very interesting in several points: first of all, I haven’t used any products from this Korean beauty brand yet, second because of the milk protein ingredient, and lastly, because it is a sleeping mask and I love using sleeping masks! Thanks to Beautytap.com for providing me with this product for reviewing.

Cellnco is a Korean brand which might be very new and unknown to many people. The concept of the brand is tackling pollution-related premature aging of the skin. The brand produced products for famous brands like Estée Lauder, Lancôme, and Skyn Iceland for 15 years before they started their own cosmetics brand. The brand is also one of the brands focussing on botanical extracts and being free from harmful chemicals.

The Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule is one of five antioxidant-rich ampoules of their skincare range. It’s a sleeping mask ampoule promoting skin repair during night-time featuring milk protein as the key ingredient. As we all know, our skin is most active during sleeping and the body and also our skin is regenerating during this time. Any skincare applied on our skin during sleeping will be absorbed more thoroughly and be more beneficial.

Milk Protein in Skincare

Milk protein is the key ingredient of the Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule as the name already suggests. Hydrolyzed milk protein, which is usually used in skincare, has a complete amino acid content and is therefore very nourishing. Also, it is very low in toxins, which makes it perfect for dry and sensitive skin types. The protein has healing, repairing, and restructuring properties for body and hair.

Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule is a sleeping mask and thus it is used best for your night-time skincare regimen. The product is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, silicon-free, and EU-allergen-free. The full ingredients are listed on SkinCarisma and you can check for them >>here<<.

Water, Milk Protein, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Polyacrylate-13, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Xanthan Gum, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Acorus Calamus Root Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Morus Alba Leaf Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Polygonatum Odoratum Extract, Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Stem Extract, Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Monarda Didyma Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower/Leaf Extract, Honey Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

You can already spot all the botanical extracts in the list, eg. ginseng, chamomille, rice, lavender, rosemary, camellia… but also moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, and even honey extract!

The Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule has a firm gel texture and white color. you only need a little for your face as it melts and distributes nicely upon application. Despite the firm gel texture it is very lightweight once applied and leaves a refreshing and moist feeling. Also, this sleeping mask ampoule is not sticky or heavy like other sleeping masks. It’s no problem to use another night cream on top of it.

This Sleeping Mask Ampoule absorbs very quickly and leaves really no trace, simply a very pleasant and refreshing scent. I can imagine that people who do not like heaviness or films, especially not during nights, will love this sleeping mask ampoule because it doesn’t leave your skin with a trace. I have this ampoule at my bed-side and usually, on lazy nights when I only manage to take of makeup this is the only product I use additionally.

The Cellnco Anti Pollution Refreshing Milk Sleeping Mask Ampoule retails for 28 US$ on Beautytap. You can use the code berries15 for 15% off non-sale items!

Also, you can check out the Coupons & Discount Page for the latest deals and ways to save some bucks at Beautytap.com

Have you tried products from the brand Cellnco? What are your thoughts on sleeping masks?

asian cosmetics beauty review Wishtrend

Review: I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence

10. September 2018

// BEAUTY / AFFILIATE LINKS / KBEAUTY //

Magnolia reminds me of spring, but yet here I am with a review for this product at the beginning of autumn! It also lies some time back that I used this I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence, but I loved it so much, that I decided to write a review for it now.

I’m from is a Korean brand with the motto “a good cosmetics with a good ingredient”. They are using natural ingredients in their cosmetics and want to be honest and quality provider. They have three promises to their customers, being 1. open composition, which means known ingredients, 2. Honest Farm, meaning honest ingredients with a true origin, and 3. being free of harmful chemicals. I have tried the I’m from Ginseng Serum and the Honey Mask before and enjoyed using both of the products.

The I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence is an essence for brightening and hydration and gives the perfect energy in the morning. As the name suggests, it contains 69% magnolia water from the Sobaek Mountains of Korea. Of course, from the first glance, the packaging is especially attractive. The magnolia pattern and the light pink colors are very pretty and fit perfect for spring, or to give you a spring mood.

What I also love is that this essence is free from parabens, steroids, and artificial coloring- plus I’m from is a cruelty-free brand!

Ther cardboard box is also so pretty and detailed:

Last, but not least, you will find the ingredients listed on the box as well. The I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence contains mainly magnolia extract, but there are also ingredients like Niacinamide (brightening), Sodium hyalulonate and glycerin (hydrating), and a bunch of plant-based ingredients listed.

Magnolia Kobus Branch/Flower/ Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Methyl Gluceth-20, Alcohol, Water, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Veronica Officinalis Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract, Primula Veris Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Polyquaternium-51, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

You can check the ingredients via SkinCarisma, too. The list also contains alcohol and silicones. Both are not a direct problem for me personally, but if you have observed to react sensitively to products containing silicones or alcohol you should avoid this product.

Doesn’t the milk-glass bottle with the pink essence look totally cute?! You can apply the essence using the included dropper attached to the cap. It is advised to use this essence in the morning routine. Simply apply few drops and pat into your skin after cleansing and toning.

I loved the lightness of the essence and the fact that it smelled nice and flowery. I still need to use a moisturizer on top, but the essence makes the skin soft and makes the appearance of the skin more even and bright. I personally used up the I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence in a record time, because I liked it so much.

As you see below, the texture is clear, but not very runny. It leaves also a nice glow but absorbs very quickly and without a greasy feeling or tackiness.

I bought my I’m from Magnolia Wake Essence from Wishtrend. It retails for 20.93 US$. You can use the code HEYSEPT for 5% discount. You will find all the information about the product >>here<<. You can receive a 5 US$ referral coupon if you are a new customer, too. It’s 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 great to save some money on your first order. Also, check out my Coupons and Discount page for the latest deals.

There is also a Magnolia Sleep Mask available from the same line, but I haven’t tried it yet. Have you tried anything from the I’m from Magnolia line?

beauty beautypress news box

Unboxing: Beautypress News Box August 2018

16. August 2018

// PR SAMPLE / WERBUNG / UNBOXING //

I’m super happy to show you the content of the Beautypress News Box August 2018 today! I was among the lucky winners of this box during a giveaway they had on Instagram, and I really wasn’t expecting to win, but here it is. Beautypress is an international PR Network by webportalis and it is totally dedicated to beauty products and the latest releases by brands. I have been following their newsletter and unboxings on other blogs for a long time now.

The Beautypress News Box is a curated box by Beautypress, which is exclusively sent out to top bloggers. Unlike beauty boxes like Glossy Box, it is no subscription box and is really dedicated to introducing new brands and products to bloggers for introduction on their channels. I received the August Box, which comes with a total of 6 products from 3 different brands and a cute extra for the hot summer months, a useful hand fan!

I will go through the products below and let you know about my first impression:

medipharma cosmetics Hyaluron Teint Perfection Primer and Make Up

The medipharma cosmetics Hyaluron Tein Perfection Primer and Make Up are the perfect combination to achieve a satin-like and matte skin and still retain the natural glow of the skin. The primer is the perfect first step and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores and evens out the skin tone. It is a great foundation for the follow-up make up. What surprised me most is the hydrating texture of the primer. There is no greasy or drying feeling after applying it, but it feels smooth and refreshing! The Hyaluron Teint Perfection Primer by medipharma cosmetics is free of preservatives, parabens and allergen fragrances. The primer retails for 19.95€ and contains 30ml in a pump bottle.

The medipharma cosmetics Hyaluron Tein Perfection Make Up is available in two shades called natural sand and natural gold. They have SPF 15, which is a great add-on in summer. Still, I would recommend you to wear regular sunscreen below your makeup. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, panthenol, vitamin B3 and Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract provide extra care and nourishment to the skin. The result is a lightweight look that creates a beautiful finish but enables the skin to breathe as well. The makeup comes in a pump bottle like the primer and contains 30 ml. It retails for 24.99€.

medipharma cosmteics Mascara med Ultra Boost

The medipharma cosmteics Mascara med Ultra Boost is a volumizing and growth promoting mascara that makes the lashes longer and thicker. According to the description it gives 12 times more volume to the lashes. Additionally, it has a pigmenting effect and stains the lashes, which might be interesting for people with blond hair. It comes with a silicon brush attached to the wand with short bristles to catch even the smaller lashes. I really like that it is growth promoting and nourishing for the lashes, so it is make up and care in one. The formulation is not sticking, so it doesn’t stick together the single lashes. Moreover, it is free of parabens, fragrances, and prostaglandin. I still think that the product has a specific flowery scent.

Finally, the product is suitable for people wearing contact lenses and those with sensitive eyes. The mascara can be removed without using oils, and it is also recommended in order to help the nourishing ingredients to absorb. The pink color of the packaging is a plus for all pink-lovers, too! The mascara contains 10 ml and retails for 21.95€.

Dr. Grandel Instant Smoother Ampoule

I love ampoules! They are small but super effective and combine so many effects and nourishment in a bit of product. The Dr. Grandel Ampoules come in packs of three containing glass vials and a breaking-cap for opening the ampoules. Each vial contains enough (3 ml) to be used several times for me. The Dr. Grandel Instant Smoother Ampoule mattifies the skin and makes pores less visible. It is a perfect ampoule to be used during the daytime before applying make up. The key ingredients are Lecithin, Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract, and Oleanolic Acid that help to reduce the sebum and act as a mattifier. Apart from Glycerin for moisturizing the ingredients also contain Alteromonas Ferment Extract. Below you can see the full list:

Aqua (Water), Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Alcohol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract, Trideceth-9, Buteth-3, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Sodium Benzotriazolyl Butylphenol Sulfonate, Carbomer, Tris (Tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) Citrate, Alteromonas Ferment Extract, Propylene Glycol, Tributyl Citrate, Tocopherol, Sodium Stearate, Zinc Gluconate, Sodium Hydroxide, Oleanolic Acid, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Phenethyl Alcohol, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Coumarin, Parfum (Fragrance), CI 17200 (Red 33)

A set of three ampoule vials retails for 14.99€, and there are even more versions of the ampoule available.

Police To Be Tattooart For Him

Police To Be Tattooart is a new perfume concept with a young and trendy concept: a scent that combines freedom and a strong personality. Tattoos have become widely accepted and common for young people and represent the individuality of the persons that have them. According to that the Police To Be Tattooart Eau de Perfume come in a signature skull-shaped bottle, that remind us of tattoo art. The perfume is available for women and men. The blue skull is dedicated to men and has a woody and aromatic fragrance. The bottle contains 40ml and retails for 24.99€.

Top Note: Lemon Verbena, Cardamom, Black Currant

Middle Note: Lavender, Clary Sage

Base Note: Tonka bean, Amberwood, Ambroxan

What are your thoughts on the products above? The brand medipharma cosmetics was totally new to me and I love the combination of medical/pharmaceutic ingredients with skincare and makeup products. I loved the light texture of the primer and the mascara combining grwoth and nourishment with make-up effects. Ampoules are always high on my list, since they have so much power despite being so small. Last but not least, it was nice t have a product for men here, too. The skull design of the bottle is unique and I can imagine that many people will like it. How do you like these new launches?

asian cosmetics beauty PR Sample Purito review

Review: Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad

9. August 2018

// PR SAMPLE / SKINCARE / KBEAUTY //

I’ve started to love these kinds of milder peeling pads, like the Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad here. I’ve received this wonderful product from Purito some while ago and I’ve been testing and including it in my skincare routine since then. This mild peeling pad, as the name already suggests, is perfectly suited if you are looking for something less irritating than AHA Peelings, but still effective enough to help to remove dead skin cells and make your skin clearer.

Purito is a rather young Korean brand with cruelty-free and 10-free skin care products. The products are free from paraben, ethanol, surfactants, artificial coloring, fragrance, triethanolamine, phthalein, triclosan, petrochemicals, and benzoyl peroxide. Moreover, the products gain a lot of popularity these days because of their short and yet effective ingredients list. I have reviewed the Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum and the Purito Snail Repair Advanced 91 Serum before and there are more to come in future!

The Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad is a product designed for removing excess dirt and dead cells from the face after cleansing. Using 10% Centella Asiatica Extract as a key ingredient. This rich extract contains Asiaticosides, Asiatic acid and Madecassic acid and acts as mild BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Other BHAs mostly used are salicylic acids, but they can be too harsh for people with sensitive skin types.

Like most peeling pads the Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad comes in a jar. The design is typical for Purito and kept simple, with signature colors of green for the Centella skincare range the brand offers. The plastic jar comes packed in a cardboard box, which provides you with the directions and ingredients. Additionally, there are plastic tweezers included, so you can take out the pads without contaminating the inside of the jar. Using the tweezers is a bit tricky though since the pads are sticking together due to the soaked essence.

Let’s take a look at our star ingredient first:

Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica extracts have been used in traditional medicine and are still used today, having beneficial properties like wound-healing. Scientific studies have shown that continuous application of the extract can promote collagen building, act anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative. The purified extract of Centella Asiatica is called TECA. It is a standardized extract composed of Asiaticoside, Asiatic acid and Madecassic acid. It is used in skin care targeting wound-healing, scarred skin, sensitive skin, but also seems to be effective on cellulite. I’m not sure if TECA is used here, or only a high concentration of Centella Asiatica extract, but we find these three components in this pad here, too! Asiatic Acid strengthens the skin barrier, has anti-oxidative properties, and calms sensitive skin. Asiaticosides control the oil-water balance and help to build up collagen. Madecassic acid helps to repair damaged skin and reduces scars and marks due to its exfoliating effect.

The full ingredients list is not very long and you can check out information on all the components via SkinCarisma, too.

Ingredients: Water, Centella Asiatica Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, 1,2- Hexanediol, Betaine, Betaine Salicylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arginine, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Allantoin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Caprylyl Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Disodium EDTA, Melaleuca Alternifolia(Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid.

As you see, there are some more ingredients that I can mention: there are hyaluronic acid, panthenol and glycerin included, for providing moisture and wound-healing. Licorice Root Extract has a brightening and anti-inflammatory properties, and tea tree leaf oil and betaine salicylate also have acne-fighting properties.

The Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad are cotton-type pads with two sides. The jar contains 70 pieces in total.

One side of the pad is structured and the other side is smooth. The structured side is suitable for areas with a higher sebum secretion like T-Zone. It removes makeup residues, sebum, oil, and exfoliates the skin.

The smooth side is suitable for cheeks, neck, etc, where the skin is more fragile. It can be used to calm down the skin, provided moisture, and even can be used to remove smudged eye makeup carefully or to smooth lips.

How to use the pads?

I usually use them after cleansing my face on my dried skin. I first use the structured side of the pad, and you will directly see that it removes even more dirt, even though you cleansed properly. The I use the soft side of the pad. Another way, how I use this pad is in the mornings. Sometimes, when I did a very thorough cleansing the evening before I only use water to wash my face. After that, I use this pad and it works perfectly without stressing the skin too much. I must say, that I also really like the official Purito page, where they list all the ways how you can use the pad. It can even be used on your body, or before reapplying makeup!

The Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad is definitely a great product. It works well in my skincare routine and helps to prevent irritations. Additionally, it cleans the skin even more thorough and smoothes it with mild exfoliation. The ingredients are really nice too, and 70 pads really last you some while, especially if you are using different products in a rotation like me. I try not to use any other exfoliating skincare products in combination with this pad. The jar retails for 22 US$ from the official page, but you can also get it from Beautytap for the same price. Also, check out my discount and coupons page for the latest deals.

If you are interested in another product using Centella Asiatica Extract I can recommend the By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream by the way. If you are curious about it you can head over to my review >>here<<.

asian cosmetics beauty Korean Smooch PR Sample review

Review: Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask

8. August 2018

// PR SAMPLE / SHEET MASK / KBEAUTY //

My last sheet mask review has been almost three months ago, so here is finally a new one for you: This is the Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask, and it has been one of these masks that really surprised me positively. To make a long story short, it was not what I expected regarding texture and essence, and I was honestly so impressed that I decided to write a review despite having used only one of these masks! Thank you to Korean Smooch for providing me with this mask for reviewing purpose.

I didn’t find any information about the background of the brand, apart from its Korean origin. Yet, the sheet mask by Dr. Althea grabbed my attention at first sight because of the beautiful packaging design. The pastel blue and the little illustrations remind me of vintage motives.

The Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask is designed for all skin types and has moisturizing properties. Medical herbs like green tea, calendula and chamomilla are the key ingredients and help to soothe irritated skin. The velvet type and super soft sheet mask fabric additionally calm down the skin.

The full ingredients of the Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask are listed on the backside of the sheet mask sachet, and you will spot many plant-bast ingredients, like olive oil, ginger extract, licorice extract, grapefruit seed extract and many more. You can check for the single ingredients on SkinCarisma or COSDNA, too.

Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polysorbate 60, Olea Europa (Olive) Fruit Oil, Hexylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Trehalose, Carbomer, Arginine, Allantoin, PEG-20 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sorbitan Isostearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Squalane, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Schizandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Water, Calendula Officinalis Flower Water, Acorus Calamus Root Extract, Fragrance, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Cholesterol, Ceramide 3.

Licorice extract is always great to have in your ingredients list. It has many benefits, like anti-inflammatory effects and brightening properties. Panthenol and hyaluronic acid promote wound-healing and are great moisturizers. Ceramide 3, citric acid and vitamin E are great for anti-aging. However, the main focus in the ingredients lies on moisturizing ingredients, like panthenol, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, butylene glycol, and Anthemis Nobilis flower water. The list is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, silicon-free, and free from allergens according to EU guidelines. More information on SkinCarisma.

The sheet mask fabric of the Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask is made from ultra-fine cotton fibers, which promote a deep absorption of the serum into the skin. With its velvet touch, this mask is supposed to offer 4 times more active ingredients to the skin than ordinary sheet masks. The formulation is a blend of Korean ancestral medicinal plants and ingredients from dermatological research. The extracts of chamomile and calendula reduce redness and restore skin smoothness, while extracts of green tea, shiso or ginger act anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Plus the bunch of moisturizing ingredients makes it sound like the perfect all-rounder mask.

The sheet mask serum is a cream-type one ( or lotion-type), and I was very happy to see that. My favorite moisturizing sheet masks have these kinds of essence. It has a pleasant floral scent but doesn’t feel heavy. It makes the skin a bit tacky after application though but feels very moisturizing and nourishing.

As you see from the picture below it is not the thinnest mask, but it is super soft and silky on the skin. It adheres perfectly and the fit was great on my face. The sheet mask was soaked very heavily and yet there was not dripping of the lotion. Moreover, there was a lot of the lotion left in the sachet that could be used on the neck and arms.

After wearing the mask for 20 to 30 minutes the sheet was still damp enough, but most of the lotion has been absorbed into the skin. The skin looks hydrated and glowy and a bit more bouncy than before. It didn’t irritate my skin at all, but the lotion leaves a bit of a tacky feeling, so it is better suited for night-time applications in my eyes.

All in all, as said in my introduction, I was very positively surprised by the Dr. Althea Herb Therapy Velvet Mask. It has a lotion-type essence and a super soft mask with a perfect fit. It does what it claims to do and leaves the skin more moist and bouncy than before. This sheet mask has impressed me, and I will consider repurchasing more of it in the future. The beautiful packaging design is, of course, a big plus, too! I received this sheet mask for reviewing purpose from Korean Smooch, an online retailer for Korean cosmetics products based in France. This shop might be especially interesting for people ordering from EU. Delivery to Germany, for example, is free from 80€ purchase and takes approximately 3 to 5 days to arrive. And the best, no customs duties for EU as they ship from France! The Dr. Althea Herb therapy Velvet Mask retails from their shop for 4.50€ and is described >>here<<.

Have you tried this sheet mask? What do you prefer: Essence-type or lotion-type sheet masks?

Unboxing: InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018

3. August 2018

// WERBUNG / PR SAMPLE / UNBOXING//

Summer means sun and vacation, ideally, it also means holidays. Since we have a new season I have also a new InStyle Box for you. The InStyle Box Summer Edition! I’m really loving the InStyle Box, because of its versatile content and moreover, it is not a monthly box, so you have enough time to use up the products that you receive. I received the InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018 for reviewing purpose and here is what’s inside:

The InStyle Box is curated by the InStyle Magazine, and provides you with trendy items for the season. I received some of the InStyle Boxes from previous seasons, too, and if you are curious you can have a look at the past boxes >>here<<.

As always, the products are dedicated and fit to the season. The topic revolves around hot days and vacation and the InStyle Box is filled with 10 different products and a sample, together with a booklet with descriptions and more discount coupons inside.

As you can tell from the pictures the box is really packed and heavy, and there are a lot of new products inside that wait to be discovered!

Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water

This coconut water is infused with passion fruit juice and seeds to deliver an exotic feeling. A great and healthy way to refresh yourself during hot days.

SMO Smoothie Bar

I never buy any fruit bars, because I’m more the nutty-bar-type, but this smoothie bar was a nice and fruity treat for in-between. This one comes in the flavor pitaya and soursop

InStyle inflatable Watermelon drink holder

I love these inflatable drink holders. They deliver a tropical vibe and can be used to let your drink swim in the pool.

Waltz 7 Shower Bombs

There is nothing more relaxing than a hot bath, but showers can be easier and some people prefer showering over bathing. These shower bombs are perfect for anybody who wants to have a relaxing spa Atmosphere while taking a shower. You simply put the shower bomb on the floor of your shower and the water will melt it away and release the relaxing scents. The two versions here are scented with mango and rose, respectively. I tried these shower bombs in the past and love them so much!

Bilou Sweet Hands Hand Mousse

This hand care product comes as mousse-y foam out of the bottle. It contains vitamins E, almond oil, avocado oil and panthenol and has a sweet scent.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat

I love this top coat! I’ve already used it so much since I received the box and it is so convenient to use and makes your nail polish dry down so much faster.

Ultrasun Facial Sunscreen SPF30 PA+++

This water-resistant sunscreen doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients or hormone-active ingredients and protects your skin from sun damage while providing moisture to the skin. I used this sunscreen before and it feels nice and hydrating and doesn’t leave a white cast. It tends to leave a bit of a greasy feeling though while wearing it throughout the day.

Mudmasky Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask

We should not forget to give our skin some spa-time for in-between, despite having so many things planned during summer. This pH balanced mask can be applied before bed-time and provides hydration, acts rejuvenating and repairing, and protects and smoothes the skin.

Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette and Cleansing Gel

I’m very excited about these two products! Cleansing your makeup tools is very important if you want to prevent breakouts and this kit seems perfect for cleansing your beloved makeup brushes.

What do you think of the content of the InStyle Box Summer Edition? My favorite products are the Real Techniques Cleansing Set and the Shower Bombs from Waltz 7. ‘But I also love the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

I’m happy with this Box content again, and I must say it has a good value for its price. The InStyle Box Summer Edition 2018 is available on shop.instyle.de for 29.90€ and comes with 3 e-paper versions of the InStyle magazine. The InStyle Box is released every three months, for each season. You can also get it for a yearly subscription for 100€.

beauty Newpharma review

Beauty Products from Newpharma

19. July 2018

// WERBUNG / PR SAMPLE / BEAUTY //

My second obsession after Asian beauty products are pharmacy beauty products, believe it or not. Before I dived into Kbeauty and Jbeauty it was brands available at the pharmacy that were my go-to skin-savers. I feel very happy to be able to try a bunch of lovely products from the Belgian online pharmacy Newpharma and to share my impressions on them with you today!

First of all, some words about Newpharma: this Belgian-based online pharmacy has been founded in 2008 and has over 35000 products within their range. They ship to various countries within EU and deliver to Germany in 48-72 hours, and there are no shipping costs for Germany on orders over 49 €.

I want to show you a couple of skin and body care products I received from Newpharma today.

Darphin Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood

Darphin Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood is a rich balm containing marula oil, sage, ylang-ylang- and rosewood oil. It emulsifies with water and forms a silky milk-type cleanser. The cleanser contains 40ml in a jar as full-sized product and retails for 28.57€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients; Hydrogenated Polydecene Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic, Polyglycerides Glycerin Hydroxystearic/Linolenic/Oleic, Polyglycerides Sorbitan Oleate Peg-10 Laurate Peg-100, Stearate Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate Polyglyceryl-10, Behenate/Eicosadioate Decyl Glucoside Polyglyceryl-10, Hydroxystearate/Stearate/Eicosadioate Simmondsia Chinensis, (Jojoba) Seed Oil Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Water\Aqua\Eau Beta-Carotene Cetearyl Alcohol Glyceryl, Stearate Se Behenyl Alcohol Alcohol Tocopherol Dextrin, Palmitate Benzyl Benzoate Linalool Benzyl Salicylate

I was especially curious about this cleansing balm. The only cleansing balms I tried so far are from Banila Co and from Labiotte. Here, the consistency already is different: while the other cleansing balms have a balm texture that reminds me of wax, this one feels more like vaseline and is not as solid as the other balms. This makes it stick more and it is harder to wash off, especially when used on eye make-up. Nevertheless, it has a very relaxing scent and makes the skin feel nourished and soft.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

The Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil is very popular among skincare lovers. This oil can be used on your body, face, and hair. The oil has softening and smoothing properties. It has 91.8% natural ingredients and includes 7 valuable oils, like Tsubaki oil, Sweet almond Oil, Camelia oil, borage oil, hazel oil, argan oil and macadamia oil. The full-sized bottle contains 100ml and retails for 22.12€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Mica, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, Silica, Parfum/Fragrance, Tocopherol, Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Ci 77491/Iron Oxides, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Hypericum Perforatum Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol [N2207/B].

This is another product that I was very curious about. I heard many positive opinions on this oil, and since I’m a dry skin type person oils are always very high up in my skin care routine. The oil feels dry, as the name already tells you, and sinks in very quickly and without leaving an oily film. It has a nice scent, too. I love that it can be used for all your body and also for your hair. Since it contains a bunch of great oils I can imagine that it is a great product for nourishing. Love this tiny bottle of “gold” already!

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Innovation Caring Wash

One of my beloved pharmacy brands is surely La Roche-Posay. Here is the La Roche-PosayToleriane Innovation Caring Wash perfect for people with dry and sensitive skin. It has a clean formulation, which is soap-free, preservative-free, and fragrance-free. The full.sized tube containing 200ml retails for 11.41€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients: Aqua/water, Glycerin, Pentaerythrityl tetraethyl hexanoate, Propylene glycol, Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate, Polysorbate 60, Ceramide np, Niacinamide, Sodium chloride, Coco-betaine, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenol, T-butyl alcohol, Tocopherol.

This cleansing lotion is perfect if you want to avoid many irritating ingredients and your skin feels tight and tingle after using other cleansers. The milky lotion forms only a soft foam and is super gentle. This is a great second step cleanser after removing makeup.

Rogé Cavaillès Deodorant Absorb+ Invisible 48h

The Rogé Cavaillès Deodorant Absorb+ Invisible 48h is an anti-marks deodorant. It is free from alcohol, parabens, and is hypoallergenic. The full-sized spraying bottle contains 150ml and retails for 6.68€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients: Butane, Isobutane, Propane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Parfum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethyl Citrate, Magnesium Aluminometasilicate, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Propylene Carbonate, Stearalkonium Bentonite, Talc

I haven’t heard of this brand before, but I had this small deodorant with me on vacations and it did a good job.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Extrasensitive Lip Balm

The Vichy Aqualia Thermal Extrasensitive Lip Balm is a calming and regenerating lip balm. It contains Glycerin, Shea-Butter, and Vitamin E to prevent and care for chapped lips. This lip balm contains 4.7ml and retails for 5.27€ at Newpharma.

It is always good to have some good lip balm at hands, especially when wearing a lot of lipsticks and tints your lips will be happy about some nourishment.

Uriage Eau Thermale Spray

The Uriage Eau Thermale Spray is made from 100% Pure Thermal Water with no other ingredients than that. If you want to avoid chemicals on your skin, this mist is perfect for your refreshment in between. The spraying bottle contains 50 ml and retails for 2.36€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients:100% Pure Thermal Water

I love mists, especially during the summer season! The best ones for hot weather and to use all over your body are the thermal mists like this one. The thermal water origins in the French Alps and is rich in minerals and micronutrients. The pure ingredients list makes it suitable for sensitive skin types and for babies too.

RoC Soleil-Protect After-Sun Refreshing Skin Repairing Milk

What else is useful during summer days, apart from sunscreen? Of course, some care for the skin for after sunbathing! The RoC Soleil-Protect After-Sun Refreshing Skin Repairing Milk will be your best friend when it comes to calming your skin. It contains glycerin, shea butter, and aloe extract for moisture and hydration. 200ml in a pump bottle retail for 12.23€ at Newpharma.

Ingredients: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Mentha Spicata Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Lecithin, Carbomer, p-Anisic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Sulfite, Parfum.

The milky texture is very pleasant and has a refreshing effect and cools your sunburns if you have any. It makes the skin feel soft, too.

What do you think about the products here? Is there any product which you like especially? My favourites here were the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Innovation Caring Wash, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, and the Darphin Aromatic Cleansing Balm with Rosewood. Oh, and I received a peeling glove as extra, which I love to use in the shower!:) Do you like beauty products from pharmacies?
