lavender sheet mask

this morning i tried another sheet mask and i loved it. it did not irritate my skin and it left me feeling refreshed. it smelled of herbs, especially lander, so if you are not a fan of that smell- this might not be for you ;) and for the first time the cut outs actually matched my face *yay*

avon sleep therapy pillow mist

i usually have a very light sleep- i have problems going to sleep, i have problems sleeping through the night. so i thought i might go ahead and try a pillow mist and it DOES work! i have the feeling i go to sleep more easily and i certainly sleep all through the night now. the pillow mist smells lovely :) i do recommend this!

the product at the official avon site

burt's bees very volumizing pomegranate & soy

i tried the shampoo and the conditioner, because it's almost 100% natural and doesn't have any of the nasty silicones etc. in it. the shampoo smells lovely of pomegranate, but the conditioner has sort of a chemical type smell to it. the combo works okay together, but after using it for a few weeks i got a really itchy scalp. i'm allergic to a lot of things (even stuff that's solely in organic products) so i have decided to switch back to my trusty body shop banana range- sorry burt's bees! it's not gonna go to waste, though, coz my bf quite likes it ;)

i am considering to try out the new rainforest range by the body shop next- anyone had any experience with that yet?

question

does anyone know where i can buy asian cosmetics in germany? i'm specifically looking for sheet masks and bb cream.

new essence range

i got just a few things X)

here are some details:

reviews are to follow as soon as i've tested the things. i'm especially curious about the "no panda eyes" mascara that's supposedly water resistant, not waterproof.

new stuff...

so here's the beauty haul that i promised (sorry about the quality of the pictures).

i had some vouchers from local drugstores so i went and bought a few things:

repurchases first (things that i'm very happy with and that i will be repurchasing for a while at least).

a new limited edition shower gel that smells lovely and goes great with the fruity body butter that i bought the other day *yum yum*

then i went to the body shop as they had a 3 for 2 offer going on their new organic shower gels:

here's all that i got in full...

and in detail:

frank and i went and had a sniff the other day so i came prepared and knew which ones to get.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the scent of this!!!

yesterday i got my order from avon in. i hadn't gotten anything from there for ages, but now that i had the opportunity...

this is everything- rarely any make-up, though ;)

a lovely dark plum lipstick that's vanilla scented and heart shaped. what more can you ask for? ;)

a long necklace that allows you to fiddle in trollbeads or pandora or whatever...

a lovely perfume for summer that smells of coconut and tiare flower :)

a pillow mist that frank and i tried last night- we loved it :D

last but not least i went and got some goodies from the old catrice range- everything was on sale, so...

the powder is another repurchase/back-up.

a lovely pinky coral lipstick.

and a pink one with sparkles *little girly girl squeee*

new purchases

i recently cashed in some vouchers at local drugstores and also got some stuff from the body shop and avon. a detailed post with pictures is to follow...

creme 21

new products:

shower gels

body lotions

i guess i'm gonna have to try them all X)

new beauty products

it's a new month and i had a 10% off voucher for one of the local drugstores (müller) so i got a few things to try out:

first of all the new skin care line by essence- i'm really looking forward to try this out. i bought everything for a skin care routine- we'll see how that goes...

then i was GONNA get some trial sizes by yes to carrots, but i ended up getting this instead:

as you can see it has a volumizing shampoo and conditioner and that intrigued me. it's from the same company as yes to carrots, so...

then some random stuff that caught my eye:

another sheet mask (my face doesn't seem to accept any other sort of masks and goes beet red- not a nice sight! there are different sheet masks in this range.

i'm running out of body scrub and i thought this had a nice scent to it:

and finally a new product by my favorite eastern german cosmetics brand. i can't wait to try it. the packaging alone is gorgeous:

and then i also went to another drugstore (dm) the other day and got this:

really, really yummy! :P
