5 Reasons to love 100 % pure Argan Oil

This is my personal beauty secret for getting soft skin or shiny hair.

Argan oil is suitable for every skin type. It's extracted from the nuts of the Argan tree (Argania Spinosa) which is located in the southwest of Morocco. Be sure to buy 100 % pure Argan oil.



Benefits

1. It's a very good skin moisturizer and it keeps the skin's natural oils balanced, that's why it can be used for dry and oily skin.

2. Turns dull hair into shiny and vibrant hair

3. Helps against acne. By daily use it can even reduce acne scars

4. Helps repairing split ends, so it makes a great hair conditioner

5. Prevents early skin aging 


How I use it 
  • I use Argan oil after washing my hair. I place a few drops in my hands and work it through my hair. Then I take a little more and massage the ends.

  • After washing my face I apply argan oil with a cotton pad all over my face and I leave it over night. The oil is quickly absorbed. So it won't disturb you.

There are so many benefits of using Argan oil. So it's nothing wrong in trying it. You won't regret it.

Wanna get a natural look? - MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural


Actually I am a bargain hunter, but everybody is crazy about MAC and I have heard only positive things about it. So I decided to buy my first MAC product.

As it is really difficult to find fluid make up or powder in dark shades in Germany, I decided to take the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark.


It is described by MAC as:
"A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day."
On working days I use this powder alone. I also use it as my setting powder. I apply it with a powder brush to get a light coverage. If I want a full coverage, I apply the powder with a sponge. It gives me a lovely natural and matte finish.


Would I buy it again?
Yes, definitely! I really like the finish. It feels so silky and gives me a light glow on my face. I am very satisfied with this product. My skin is very soft and it doesn't look cakey at all. 



Negative aspects:
I don't like the packaging. It doesn't come with a mirror or a sponge.
I got the feeling that I have to touch-up the powder during the day especially on my oily T-Zone, but I wouldn't like to carry it with me. I am afraid it will break.


Price: 26 €/$


Ingredients:
Talc, Mica, Dimethicone, Polysorbate 20, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Yeast Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palminate, Lauroyl Lysine, Isopropyl Palminate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Bht, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 42090, CI 77163, CI 75470, CI 77289, CI 77288, CI 77510, CI 77742, CI 15850, CI 77007, CI 19140, CI 15985

I love burning lips

Here comes my declaration of love to Carmex.

It is the best lip balm I have ever tried. It makes my lips sooo smooth and it really moisturizes. It feels light and sheer on my lips. Most of the lip balms I used so far dried up my lips as soon as I stopped using them but with Carmex they remain soft.

It smells so good. It reminds me of Vicks VapoRub with a touch of vanilla. When I apply it on my lips there is a nice cooling effect. My lips are slightly burning. Curiously I love this feeling :-)

I have even tried Carmex under a lipstick and it looks and feels great! It is the No. 1 lip balm in the U.S.A. Even stars and make-up artists use it.



 I prefer the original Carmex in the jar more than the one in the tube. Which lip balm do you use?

Heat - Catch the fever

Hello ladies,

for the last days the weather was very cloudy and rainy... It feels like autumn. Usually it has to be sunny and hot here in Germany. But eiter way there is one good thing...this is the perfect weather for wearing the first perfume by BeyoncĂ© Knowles. It is called Heat and the scent features notes of red vanilla, orchid, magnolia, neroli, and blush peach. It comes as a Eau de Parfum. 





The first impression I get from this perfume is that I love the bottle. This combination of red and gold and its shape is just sexy! Surprisingly the fragrance is very fruity at first. But later it gets more deepness. I like it. But I think it is more suitable for autumn/winter times. In summer I like to wear flowery scents.

You can get 30 ml for 24 €/32 $.

Anyway it is a must-have for all Beyoncé fans.
