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 :/

blue accessories...

as i already told you, i want these shoes:


they are from OTTO and so are these three purses:



design-wise i like the last one best, but that happens to be the one with the blue most different from the shoes- of course!

then i also checked DAWANDA (german ETSY) for purses and came up with this:








i know they don't all fit my criteria (small, same blue as the shoes, cross shoulder strap), but they are all so PRETTY X)

what do you guys think?

product reviews and some questions

over the past weeks i have tried several new products. here's my verdict:

essence winter edition hand balms: all three of them have a very nice and lingering scent. they do nourish my skin, but the effect doesn't last. if you like to use hand balm more than once a day (like i do) that's not a negative aspect. if you can still get your hands on these hand balms (they are limited edition) i suggest you do so!

guhl deep conditioner mango & honey: i LOVE the scent and the deep conditioner does leave my hair very soft. i very much suspect it does contain silicones, though. i couldn't find info on this new and limited edition product from the company website. it comes in a small pack that contains enough product for about three treatments (i have shoulder length hair). i recommend this product, if you don't forget to get rid of the silicones in your hair at least once a week, using a deep cleansing shampoo (big by lush or the deep cleansing shampoo by balea for example).

balea sheet mask aloe vera: the mask is very moisturizing, but the handling is a little difficult- at least for me (i seem to have a non-standard small face). if you don't want to have to go to asian stores to get sheet masks, this should be your go-to product. yet again, though, no info on this product on the company website yet.

now for the questions:
#1 are there any drugstore products in particular that you would like me to try out?
#2 would you be interested in getting to see my shoe and/or purse collection?
#3 can anyone recommend to me a red (not bright red, rather pinkish or purple) drugstore lipstick?
