Empties: June

Hello Lovelies! 
It is already June and finally we all can enjoy a real summer without too much rain and lots of sunshine! I can't believe how many products I have used up this month, I hope I will have some products for July because all my skin and hair care products just finished at the same time :o) . Here we go. I know it's a lot :) I just might be a little obsessed with beauty products. Oh my :p

Empties June - Avene Mousse Nettoyante, La Roche-Posay Micellar Solution, Lavera Lavender Shower Gel, Khadi Amla Hair Oil, Giovanni 2chic Avocado Conditioner, Alterra Feuchtigkeitsshampoo, Yves Rocher Natuerelle, Nivea Make-Up Remover Wipes

Giovanni 2chic Avocado & Olive Oil Ultra-Moist Conditioner (325ml/12 Euro) I really liked this conditioner. I will have a review up on this one as well. It contains avocado and olive oils as well as aloe vera juice which is always great. The consistency was very thick but I still needed a lot of conditioner. On a care level I would say it is in the medium range, it would be a good conditioner for fine to normal hair that needs a little body against fly-aways. Repurchase? Yes.

Alterra - Feuchtigkeits-Shampoo Granatapfel & Aloe Vera(200ml/2 Euro) The Alterra Moisture Pomegrate and Aloe Vera series is a really good line that works well for multiple hair types from very coarse and dry like my hair to fine and straight hair like my friend Lenja's. I have used up multiple bottles of both conditioner and shampoo and they always work well. It has a sweet fresh smell that can be a little annoying over time but has the best combination of drugstore friendly price - ingredients and effect in my opinion. A great series for newbies regarding organic hair care. Repurchase? Yes.

La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Cream in light (40ml/15Euro) Like I said in my previous empties post I do like la roche-posay which is a french pharmacy brand because their products all work on my hypo-allergenic skin. The brand is not organic and the incis are not the best but until I find a reasonable proved organic brand I do think I will stick with it. The baby cream has a SPF of 20, gives you a slight lovely glow and is great on dry skin. Fragrance free and no itchiness or redness and no break-outs. Repurchase? Yes.

Khadi Herbal Hair Oil Amla (210ml/14Euro) I simply love Khadi Oils. I think they are among the best quality oils that you can use for your body and hair and I loved every single drop of this oil. I also used it on my scalp, normally I only use my hair oils on lengths and ends, but this one contains Amla exctract and was also beneficial against hair loss. Full review here. My next oil is the rose oil and I am excited to start using that one :) . Repurchase? Definitely! 

Yves Rocher- Naturelle Perfume (75ml /20Euro) I even finished my perfume this month ^^ . I am a big fan of fresh flowery fragrances and I love D&G light blue perfume. Yves Rochers is a very good dupe and for a fraction of the price. It smells like cedar trees, lemon and jasmine. My new perfume was a gift from my mum and is very different from what I would normally use and buy but I love the smell - it was such a surprise! My new perfume is Chanel Allure Sensuelle which contains jasmine, rose, iris, candied fruits and vetiver with vanilla and patchouli as a base note. I always use only one perfume at a time. Repurchase? Maybe once I was light blue back. 

Avene - mattierender Reinigungsschaum (150ml/15Euro) I think this one is Europe exclusive? No allergic reaction, it did a good job getting make-up of and has a very nice system with a little pump that automatically foams the cleanser. It did dry my skin out though. Repurchase? No, I need something that is better for my extremely dry skin.

La-Roche Posay - physiological micellar solution (200ml/15Euro) Micellar Solutions are basically cleansing waters that can clean your skin, remove make up and be a toner at the same time. I love the idea of this product and this cleanser was amazing in removing eye-make up and purifying the skin. It did not burn a little bit and had a good effect on my skin as well. I really loved this product! Similar ones are the Bioderma water and nano solution from Avene. Repurchase? Yes.

Lavera - Organic Lavender Showergel (150 ml/4Euro) It is a lovely shower gel that lathers up well, foams nicely and leaves the skin hydrated and fresh. I love lavender so the smell here was definitely a plus. Repurchase? Yes.

Nivea - Make-Up Remover Singles for sensitive Skin. (4Euro) These were terrible. They burned while using them, dried out fast and had too much perfume. I used them later as little wet towels for my hands. I wish there would be good product as face wipes because I love the idea! I have tried Alterra's and Alverdes's but they gave me itchiness - I guess because of the fragrance. Has anyone a good recommendation? Repurchase? No.


Do you know any of the products I have used up? How was your experience? Am I the only one who finishes everything at the same time ^^ ?

Review: Giovanni Smooth as silk deeper moisture conditioner

Hallo ihr Lieben!

Heute stelle ich euch eine ganz besondere Spülung vor, den Giovanni Smooth As Silk. Erstmal zur Marke, Giovanni ist keine reine NK, sondern bezeichnet sich als Eco-Chic Marke, die auf Tierversuche verzichtet und 100% vegane Inhaltsstoffe verarbeitet. Dieser Kondi ist ganz besonders für die Locken und Wellenkoepfchen unter euch geeignet - es ist Wahnsinn wie er Locken definiert. Obwohl sich meine Locken jetzt bei dieser Länge in Null Komma nichts aushängen, schafft es der Giovanni Kondi diese gut zu definieren. Er ist natuerlich ohne Silikone. Und ausserdem ist die Flasche auch wirklich hübsch er macht sich super im Bad :o)






Inhaltsstoffe:
Aqua (Water), Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol,Butylene Glycol, Cetrimonium Bromide,Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance, Hydrolized Soy Protein, *Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, *Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Valencia Orange) Extract, *Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, *Cymbopogon Schoenanthus(Lemongrass) Extract, *Echinacea Purpurea Extract, *Ginko Biloba Extract, *Glycine Soja(Soybean) Seed Extract, *Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, *Macrocystis Pyrifera (Sea Kelp) Extract, *Magnifera Indica (Mango) Extract, *Salix Alba (Willow Bark) Extract


Duft:

Der Duft ist wirklich sehr angenehm er riecht leicht nach Lavendel. Der milde Lavendelduft bleibt auch noch laenger in den Haaren. 

Anwendung:

Man gibt ihn einfach in die feuchten haare, unbedingt nur in die Spitzen und Laengen sonst riskiert man platte und ueberpflegte Haare. Er ist wirklich sehr reichhaltig, es heisst schon was wenn ich das sage, denn ich habe ja immer sehr trockene Wüste-Gobi Haare :). Als Prewash Kur habe ich ihn nicht getestet, da waere er mir zu Schade. Er ist relativ fluessig und dadurch sehr ergiebig. Sparsam dosieren ist hier angebracht. 


Fazit:

Es ist ein sehr toller reichhaltiger Kondi, der besonders fuer Lockenkoepfe und Wellenladies geeignet ist, da er diese super definiert. Er bekommt jedoch einen Punkt Abzug fuer die schwierige Beschaffung,  regulaer in den Laeden gibt es ihn nur in den USA und Kanada. Ich habe ihn dort bei meinem Intership gekauft und aergere mich jetzt nicht noch eine Flasche mitgenommen zu haben. 
Somit bekommt er : 

9 von 10 Punkten

Hello Cuties!
Today I want to give you a review of a very special Conditioner, the Giovanni Smooth as silk. Firs of all, Giovanni is not pure natural cosmetic, they like to be known as ECO-Chic, they do not work with animal testing and the Incis are 100% vegan. I especially think this is a great conditioner if your hair is on the wavy and curly side. As you might know, my hair is normally pretty curly, but at the current length - the most I get are soft waves. But this conditioner really manages to define them properly. He is -cone free and the bottle just by itself is super pretty and looks very nice on my bathroom shelf :o)

Incis:


Aqua (Water), Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol,Butylene Glycol, Cetrimonium Bromide,Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance, Hydrolized Soy Protein, *Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, *Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Valencia Orange) Extract, *Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, *Cymbopogon Schoenanthus(Lemongrass) Extract, *Echinacea Purpurea Extract, *Ginko Biloba Extract, *Glycine Soja(Soybean) Seed Extract, *Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, *Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, *Macrocystis Pyrifera (Sea Kelp) Extract, *Magnifera Indica (Mango) Extract, *Salix Alba (Willow Bark) Extract

As you can see - cone free and rich in protein and natural extracts. 

Fragrance:

I really like the smell of this product, it has a very soft lavender smell, it is pretty faint and not overwhelming by any means. It does manage to stay in your hair as well for the first two days after you use it.

How to use it:

I use it as  a regular conditioner after i wash my hair, I do not use it as a pre-wash deep conditioning treatment - just because I can not get it easily in Germany and I don't want to waste this great product. It is a very rich conditioner and manages to get my super dry hair both hydrated and my locks defined. I am really very happy with this product, even after using it on a daily basis it does not dry my hair out a all. 


The Giovanni gets 9 out of 10. The Condi will be available in whole food stores, if you are from the US or Canada. I brought mine when I was living for a few months in Toronto. I got it there for around 5 CAD.
