Nivea In-Dusch Body Milk - Review & Fotos

Hallo Leute!

Wie geht es euch? Ich hoffe es geht euch genauso gut wie mir!
Nach einer etwas längeren Pause, bin ich nun zurück mit einer neuen Produktvorstellung. Die neue NIVEA In-Dusch Body Milk, die ganz neu in die Läden gekommen ist und die ich testen durfte. Die folgende Review repräsentiert komplett meine Meinung und ist in keiner Weise von einem Dritten beeinflusst. Da dieses Produkt in seiner Anwendung jedoch so einzigartig ist, war es mir wert dieses Produkt zu reviewen.

Informationen
Preis: 3,99€
Inhalt: 400 ml
Erhältlich ab: Mai 2013
Erhältlich bei: Drogeriehandel (DM, Rossmann), gut sortierte Supermärkte

Das Herstellerversprechen

Die reichhaltige Formel der In- Dusch Body Milk mit Mandel-Öl kann von nasser Haut einfacher aufgenommen werden, so dass das Eincremen und Einziehen leichter und schneller geht. Die innovative Formel wird dabei durch Wasser aktiviert. Das Ergebnis: Eine spürbar weiche und gepflegte Haut direkt nach der Dusche. Zusätzliches Eincremen mit einer normalen Body Milk ist nicht mehr nötig.

Anwendung

Normal Duschen - Eincremen - Abduschen - Abtrocknen - Fertig

Die Konsistenz ähnelt die einer normalen Creme. Da man das Produkt jedoch auf nasser Haut aufträgt, wird diese Konsistenz schnell flüssiger, wodurch sich die Creme wie ein Film über die Haut legt.

Positiv

               - keine Einziehzeit ▶ schneller Duschvorgang
               - angenehmer frischer NIVEA-Geruch
               - gutes Abwaschen
               - leichte Handhabung der Flasche selbst im nassem Zustand
               - gut verträglich für empfindliche Haut
               - macht Spaß am Eincremen

Negativ

               - nicht intensiv genug für sehr trockene Stellen 

               - Pflege nicht langanhaltend genug

               - Geruch ist nach Abduschen weg 

               - Ergiebigkeit (durch flüssige Konsistenz benötigt man viel Produkt für den ganzen Körper)

               - leichtes Jucken vorm Rasieren und bei intensivem Sport am selben Tag

Vorher / Nachher Bilder

Fazit

★★★★☆ 4/5 Sterne

Die Körpercreme ist in der Tat innovativ und erleichtert und vor allem verkürzt den Duschvorgang um einiges. Man sofort die Klamotten anziehen ohne das man ein unangenehmes Gefühl auf der Haut hat. Die Haut fühlt sich gleichzeitig gepflegt und geschmeidig an, jedoch reicht diese Pflege mir nicht bei meinen sehr trockenen Stellen. Unangenehm finde ich jedoch das leichte Jucken meiner Haut wenn ich am selben Tag Sport mache und da ich sehr viel Sport mache, ist dies sehr häufig der Fall. Da ich jedoch das Gesamtkonzept sehr gut finde und durch die schnelle Anwendung das Eincremen in die tägliche Routine wieder eingebaut werden kann, kann ich dieses Produkt empfehlen. An jedem zweiten oder dritten Duchvorgang würde ich dennoch auf einen intensivere Pflege zurück greifen.

Ich hoffe Euch hat die Review gefallen. Sagt mir, ob ihr das Produkt schon kennt und wie ihr es findet?

Ich wünsche Euch einen wunderschönen Tag!

Alles Liebe,

How to Find The Perfect Prom Dress For Your Body Type

Hello everyone!

How are you? Next week I am going to my prom dress resp. I intend to buy it because I feel that it will be really hard to find a dress that suits me perfectly and that I really like. Thus, I informed myself about which dress would suit my body shape beforehand and I thought I might give you an overview of all body types and examples for each one. Of course, there exist more body types than these four, but I think your perfect dress can be deduced from these suggestions. This is the second part of my Prom Series. If you missed the first part in which I talked about how you can choose the perfect neckline of you dress according to your body type, then have a look here. (Link) 

Petite Body Type

✧ stay with short dresses
✧ sweet, feminine
✧ avoid a lot of fabric on the bottom

Athletic & Rectangle Body Type

✧ create an illusion of curves by enhancing your waist
✧ ruffles especially on bust and hips
✧ show you athletic body with form-fitting dresses
✧ two colours

Pear Shape

✧ highlight your upper body e.g. eye-catching neckline
✧ ruffles or special detail on the top
✧ go for a full skirt on the bottom

Apple Body Type

✧ empire waist dresses
✧ solid colour
✧ try to include fabric on the bottom
✧ avoid bandage dresses or anything that highlights the midsection

Hourglass Body Type

✧ can wear almost everything
✧ enhance your waist with a waist band
✧ dress that is fitted on top and waist
✧ A-Line skirt or mermaid dress

Okay, these are my suggestions when you want to buy a new prom dress, however, you can also apply that to buying a normal dress. I hope that this might help you during your shopping. But again, as I have mentioned in my first Prom Series post, it's all about feeling comfortable and self-confdent and when you really like a dress, then just buy it. Nevertheless, it is also nice to highlight your best features and to really get the best out of your body. 

How did your previous Prom Dress look like?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Kauftipp: Aldo Vandini Body Butter Vanille Macadamia

Hallo Leute! 

Heute möchte ich Euch einen absoluten Kauftipp zu kommen lassen, da ich die Creme in meinem lokalen REWE entdeckt habe und absolut von ihr begeistert bin, ich jedoch noch gar nichts von ihr im Internet gehört habe. Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob diese Creme in jedem REWE erhältlich ist, aber man kann sie definitv auch über das Internet bestellen wie zum Beispiel hier.

Aldo Vandini Body Butter Vanille Macadamia

Inhalt: 250ml

Preis: 4,99€

Inhaltsstoffe 

• Wasser
• Theobroma Cakao
• Glycerin
• Macadamia Ternifolia
• Sodium Carbomer
• Vanilla Planifolia
• Alkohol
• Parfum

Beschreibung:

Vor allem trockene Haut braucht öfter einmal ein besonders intensives Verwöhnprogramm. Die Aldo Vandini Body Butter Vanille Macadamia 250ml ist hierfür das ideale Produkt. Wertvolles Macadamianussöl wirkt sich nicht nur positiv auf trockene Haut aus. Durch die natürlichen Wirkstoffe ist es auch als Anti-Aging Öl bekannt, so freut auch reife Haut sich über eine Cremebehandlung mit der Aldo Vandini Body Butter Vanille Macadamia.

Der Vanilleextrakt sorgt nicht nur für den bezaubernden Duft dieser Body Butter sondern wirkt zudem auch noch ausgleichend und schützend. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach etwas ganz Besonderem sind, dem kleinen Luxus für jeden Tag, dann greifen Sie zu dieser Body Butter.

Diese Creme hat eine Konsistenz von geschmolzener Butter und riecht einfach nur himmlisch. Wunderbar leicht nussig mit einem Hauch Vanille. Man muss nur aufpassen, dass man sein eigenen Körper nicht anfängt anzuknabbern :) Da die Creme speziell für sehr trockene Haut konzipiert ist, ist sie sehr reichhaltig, aber braucht dennoch nicht viel Zeit um endgültig in die Haut einzuziehen. Außerdem ist das Ergebnis ohne Worte - die Haut wird sichtbar geschmeidiger und weicher. Von daher scheint diese meine perfekte Creme zu sein: perfekter Geruch, perfekte Konsistenz, perfekte "Einziehzeit" und perfekte Wirkung!

Habt ihr auch die Also Vandini Produkte bei euch im REWE?

Ich wünsche Euch noch einen wunderschönen Tag! Alles Liebe,

Diets & Weight Loss - Trying to Capture A Myth

Hello everybody!

During this time of the year companies and all magazines will publish their recent diet and weight loss programs after the comfortable christmas and winter time. Did you know that the fitness and diet industry is one of the most profitable branches? Thus, it is hardly surprising that all of them try to make the most money by promising the dream body or the most amazing weight loss, of course, ONLY with their program.

There exist ton of different fitness and diet programs starting from extreme crash diets, extreme diet changes like Atkins Diet, Dukan Diet, Vegan or the controlled healthy eating program symbolized by Weight Watchers. However, after watching and studying all of these programs, I came up with this main rule that is the base of all diets and the key to weight loss and getting healthy: diet and fitness / income and outcome have to be in balance!

My beautiful graph :)

This is so simple that I found it hard to believe, but all these programs use this basic rule in different ways. Whether they decrease the income dramatically like in a crash diet, change the substances of your income completely like in a Vegan diet or just have a program that gives you a controlled eating plan like Weight Watchers. However, they are all not a miracle. They can help you by motivating you, by giving you an idea of what to eat and by keeping you on track with your diet, but you don't need them to lose weight. You can do everything on you own! 

So let's have a look at your diet, at your food:

When you want to lose weight the simple thing is that you have to eat less which means controlling your portion size. You don't need a super-size menu, just eat as much as your body needs. When it comes to what to eat, then it's easy to say to eat healthy. Basically, this means to avoid lots of fats and an one-sided diet and to replace it with a clean diet with lots of veggies, fruits and "white" meat. The key to every diet is moderation, because nobody can scratch all sweets out of its diet, so always keep your discipline and control so that you can allow yourself 1-2 pieces of chocolate and not one bar.

Fitness:

Even though fitness is claimed to be the key to weight loss, only 20% of our fitness influences our weight. 80% of our weight loss is influenced by our diet! However, if you want to lose weight and get a defined and lean body, then you have to do sport. I do HIIT workout our Zuzana Light's amazing workouts (Link) about 5 times a week, but again, it's not about a certain program. The basic rule is that you find an exercise that incorporates strength and cardio and that you like and thus, it becomes a part of your routine. 

The main thing is that you keep income and outcome, food/diet and fitness in balance. Allow yourself some treats, but keep everything in moderation and keep the overview of what you are eating. When it helps you, then you can write it down. 

Nevertheless, keep in mind that you don't need one of these expensive diet and fitness programs which lead to the yo-yo effect in the worst case! Weight loss starts in your head and with these two factors that have to be in balance, everyone can lose weight on it own for free!

I hope you liked this post and tell me whether you have had any experiences with diets?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

My Winter Beauty / Fashion / Lifestyle Essentials

Are you ready for winter? Well, I hope you are because it's starts to get freaking cold here and I kind of think that we have skipped the autumn in our region. For me, winter needs some special preparations and products, thus, today I want to show you my beauty / fashion / lifestyle essentials for winter that I really need during the winter.

Beauty
1. Tissues are an essential item in everyones handbag because when I go from the cold into the warm, my nose always starts running. And it's really impolite to snuffle all the time.
2. Hand cream is so important because of the cold weather and the dry heated air, my hands are getting so dry and rough. So I think, every one should have a little hand cream in its handbag too.
3. & 4. Because of the cold weather not only the skin is dry but also lips are chapped way much easier, so I have to have a really deep moisturizing lip balm and also a rich body butter.
5. Then I love to swap the scent from my body butter and shower gel to a more spicy, aromatic, maybe sweet and nutty scent. Or even invest in a really nice gel for beautiful foam bath.
6. You have to change your moisturizer to a richer one. Because of the wind, the cold temperatures, snow etc. your skin has to endure a lot more exertions and so it is important that you keep it well moisturized also because dry skin will cause wrinkles.

Fashion
7. Really warm boots that are giving your footbed enough support and have a good profile are essential.
8. During the winter I seriously can't live without warm socks. I just can't stand out house slippers so I have to wear my cozy, warm socks to feel comfortable at home.
9. That's quiet obvious, but in order to survive the winter everyone needs a proper scarf, some good handcuffs and, if you have a cap-face, a cool winter cap. You actually lose 10% of your body heat through your heat.
10. THE essential piece is a warm jacket. And I am not talking about a stylish, designer jacket made out of satin, no, we don't want to freeze and be sick during the whole winter, so invest in a good, warm jacket even though it is not the stylist version. Additionally, I also like to have a warmer indoor jacket like a fleece jacket where I can cuddle myself up.

Lifestyle
11. When it's getting darker outside and we are all staying more inside the house, I really enjoy lighting a candle while I am reading a book or actually writing blog posts.
12. Hot drinks are my life saver and my source of happiness during the whole winter season. I personally love to drink tea, but whether it is hot chocolate or a arm cup of coffee, I just love snuggle myself into the corner with a warm cup in my hand.
13. The best thing about winter and staying mostly at home is spending some evening night with your family watching christmas DVD or nice films in general.

All these aspects are on the one hand essential and necessary for my well-being and on the other hand just complete my christmasy winter feeling. I am really looking forward to coming into christmas mood and to experience the whole christmas spirit this year!

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

DM + Christmas Decoration Haul

Hello guys!

Okay, I have to admit: I slowly really start to get into christmas mood which is actually weird because last year I wasn't into christmas mood at all and just felt a bit christmasy two days before Christmas Eve. Thus, even though it's a bit early to be in christmas mood, I prefer it to having it only two day before christmas. Anticipation is the greatest joy! So in order to make my room appear a bit more christmasy I bought just a few christmas items for my room (my room isn't that big) and had to walk into the drugstore ;)

Drugstore / DM:

 

Firstly, I purchased to candies for my handbag. The left one are the DM "Das gesunde Plus" candies with sea buckthorn flavour which taste really nice and sour. I also bought the new Ricola candies with liquorice flavour and sweetened with stevia which have got an interesting taste of liquorice, herbs and a bit salty. 

 

Then I bought the Essence Winter Limited Edition 24h hand protection balm in Apple Cinnamon Punch and Gingerbread Chai Latte each for 0,95€. I think these particular flavours are not available internationally, however, Essence offers these Winter Edition hand creams but just with other flavours. I will do a detailed review of these products, but I am seriously in love with the smell of both of them. I can highly recommend buying them whereas I didn't liked the smell of Caramel Hot Chocolate that much. 

 

These products are only available in Germany, so I will go on in German:

Passend zur kalten Weihnachtszeit verspürte ich das Bedürfnis nach einer schönen, süßen und reichhaltigen Körperpflege nach einem schönen heißem Bad. Und ich wurde bei Balea fündig, die passend zu jeder Jahreszeit immer neue, interessante Düfte herausbringen. Gekauft habe ich mir die Balea Bodylotion mit Feigen- und Schokoladenduft, welche zunächst etwas fruchtig aber dann wundervoll leicht nach Schokolade riecht, und dann noch die Balea Young Bodylotion Sweet Wonderland, die intensiv und einfach nur wunderbar nach Schokolade duftet. Zur Pflegewirkung kann ich noch nicht so viel sagen, aber ich denke, ich werde ein gesammelten Blogpost über meine Körpercremes schreiben.

 

As every other human being on this world I also bought a toothpaste - the Colgate MaxWhite. It claims to make your teeth a bit whiter and whiter teeth are always better.

Christmas Decoration:

 

In order to boost my christmas mood I walked into Butler's and found a few really nice items. As I am a total tea-addictive I was caught by this beautiful, christmasy, snowy, white and red cup that will be well-used and will remind me of christmas every day. It costs 3,99€.

 

The highlight of my decoration haul is this BEAUTIFUL golden and glittery deer. I love it so much! It is sweet, sparkly but in the same time kind of a "natural object". It is no on my vanity table so I see it every day and it makes me so happy just looking at it. The price of this is 9,99€.

 

Technically I have enough candles, but all my candles are from Ikea so they have a noticeable scent but that intense which is great when you have the open in your room for the whole time. Higher priced candles e.g. Yankee Candles or even this middle-priced candle have a lid on top which is great, because then you don't have to smell the intense flavour all the time. And personally, I get a headache quite fastly. Therefore, I bought this scented candle with a rich cinnamon scent for approx. 3,50€. Butler's also has some great room scents!

So this was my drugstore and christmas decoration haul. I know that it's not the hugest haul you've ever seen but I just wanted to make myself a few little presents in order to get in a better mood which is harder to get caused by this grey, cold weather. Are you already in christmas mood? 

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

March/April Favourites

It's time for my bi-monthly favourite and this month I was definitely so much into blush! But let's have a closer look:

Maybelline Cream Touch Blush in 07 Plum was my go to blush. I rediscovered it after a long break and absolutely fell in love with it. It looks absolutely natural and suits to every skin tone.

Manhattan Bronzing Powder - I used this in combination with the Manhattan Blush from their Oktoberfest LE to set the cream blush. The bronzer warms up the rosy cool blush and thus, it creates the perfect colour for this spring weather outside.

Manhattan Make Up Base is my new favourite base. It is super cheap and the eyeshadow last the whole day. Also, one container has 10 ml.

Douglas Lipstick (was in my Advent calendar) is a mauve rosy lipstick. I like to tap this onto my lips as an everyday lipstick.

Manhattan Eyeliner Pencil in Black is a waterproof liner so that the line stays on the whole day. I like black liner more than brown one, because it brightens up my eye colour.

L'Ôréal Superfine Eyeliner is the most precise eyeliner I have ever used. I was totally in this black winged liner look this month, so this was my holy product.

REWE Coconut Body Butter is a super cheap cosmetic brand from a grocery store. However, this body butter is so rich and smells absolutely amazing! My skin is extremely smooth afterwards and it contains 400ml.

I hope you liked my bi-monthly favorites. Let me know what your favourite products have been!
