fashion haul

on friday i went shopping with my sister and on saturday i went to the mall (that time by myself). here's what i got:

two pairs of sweat pants from zara

two denim skirts and the cutest baby mickey and minnie shirt ever from C&A

a pretty dress from H&M that i wore today :)

a FAB DC universe shirt from mister lady jeans (and two pairs of leggings)

two more shirts from olymp&hades (featuring my designated football shirt)

mini haul...

i finally found it! a drugstore face care line that doesn't have any irritants or otherwise unhealthy stuff in it:

it's new, so i had vouchers for everything :) i'm gonna do a review, but first i want to use up all the other stuff i have. and in order to do so, i needed to buy a few essentials as i want to start trying all products of the new line at one time.

and i finally found the retro apple blossom shampoo i had been looking out for. i'm going to run the ingredients list through codecheck- i wonder what's gonna turn up X) i also bought a gorgeous nail polish and some concealer. with my new glasses it's vital to get rid of my under eye circles as they would show big time.

skin care products

i tried two lines of skin care for combination skin. i only had trial sized versions of the products.

florena: i like that it's free of all the stuff i'm trying to avoid, but according to codecheck it isn't entirely irritant free :/ the website is looking for people willing to test the entire range- i might go apply for that.

clinique: it's very harsh despite the fact that it was supposed to be for my type of skin. it smelled funny and left my skin very, very shiny. the products aren't irritant free or easily affordable. that's a miss for me!

stuff that i want...

need help!

as i already mentioned in an earlier entry i am trying yet again to make my entire routine sulfate, silicone and parabene free. it's not as easy as you would think. i'm gonna tell you now what i got so far and which products i still need replacements for:


hair:

shampoo - garnier natural beauty granatapfel & bierhefe, yes to tomatoes, the body shop rainforest

conditioner - alterra feuchtigkeitsspülung granatapfel, yves rocher himbeeressig, the body shop rainforest

deep cleansing shampoo - lush big

deep conditioner - alterra granatapfel, the body shop rainforest

leave in conditioner (detangler) - schauma seiden-kamm, the body shop grapeseed glossing serum

i am also gonna try to go back to only washing my hair every other day!


face:

make up removal wipes - balea young pink, my skin pink or blue

tonic - balea young green, florena mattifying

cleanser - balea young pink, nonique (all available lines)

mask - montagne jeunesse sheet masks (all types)

eye cream - alverde augentrost, nonique

what i'm still searching for are day and night creams. i'd prefer a light, moisturizing cream for daytime and a more nourishing cream for nighttime. most day creams i've used were mattifying and all of them contain bad ingredients (mostly silica). i might go try the nonique moisturizers for daytime. i'm currently using my trusty carrot moisturizer from the body shop at night, but it contains silicone oil (which is less harmful than proper silicone, but still...). has anyone tried the yes to tomatoes facial hydrating lotion?!
also i'm still looking for a face scrub- or maybe i'm just gonna switch to using one of those little brushes?!


body:

hand cream - alverde vitamin, alterra granatapfel

body wash - creme 21 jasmine & vanilla, the body shop earth lovers, alterra (all scents), balea young turteltäubchen/raubkatze

body lotion/butter - yves rocher mandelmilch, alverde macadamia, florena körperbutter

deodorant: hidro fugal doppel effekt roll-on

here i'm looking for more options in terms of body wash and lotion. i'm also still on the look out for a decent scrub and shaving gel :/

silicone, sulfate and parabene free everything?!

is that even possible? i'm doing my best to have a go and try! unfortunately german (or european?!) brands are far behind american ones on making their products healthier.

i discovered this brand that has all natural products: NONIQUE which in germany is exclusive to schlecker drugstores.

and then there's THIS

the scent of my childhood :) i only wish there was some info on the ingredients :/

tiny haul :)

left to right:
nail hardener (which i'm gonna need as i'm letting my gel nails grow out)
limited edition holographic nail polish
lip gloss with spf
two hair scroos- gonna try them out and then maybe buy more (they are supposed to hold your bun together without a hair elastic)

there are decent girly shirts out at my uni, finally- had to get one!

a lovely outfit from promod- couldn't pass up the cute apple design X)
